I was hesitant at first because of some of the reviews, but I decided to take a tour and see for myself. I enrolled my children and I must say the structure, expectations, and clear rules have created a safe and supportive environment where my kids are thriving. I’m grateful that the center stays consistent and doesn’t bend its standards for families who don’t want to follow the rules.

I’ve had my kiddo in other programs and I can firmly say this is literally THE BEST program I’ve ever seen. For privacy, I didn’t take any pictures. Everything is clean, organized. The kid’s food is made in-house. They have a playground for each age group. The classrooms are all so colorful and interactive. The staff really focuses on emotional regulation and its importance for children at an early age. This center is 10/10. They use the Procare app where teachers send you pictures or updates of your kiddo which is a nice add-on. Overall, even my kid says she has a great time there and loves her teachers.

This early childhood center is wonderful. My eldest daughter grew up here and always remembers how happy she was there; she'll never forget her teachers. Now my youngest daughter is there and is always very happy. She loves her teachers and the whole place. I love this place because it's filled with peace and love. All the staff are very kind and polite. This center has many qualified and professional people. I recommend it 100% and can say it's the best early childhood center in Lancaster.

So, becoming a parent – wow, what a journey! Finding daycare for my first little one was a total headache. I was so stressed about her safety and finding a place that felt right. Then a friend suggested Lancaster Early Education Center, and honestly, it was a game-changer. My daughter absolutely adored it from the moment we walked in! My wife and I were so impressed, we actually signed our second child up there too. Seriously, the difference in what they learn from day one is amazing. If you're looking for daycare, I couldn't recommend Lancaster Early Education Center highly enough! It's been a lifesaver for us.

This Daycare has some amazing teachers. Ms. Danielle, Mrs. Dessa among other amazing ones. Their curriculum is certainly great. Very structured. Their kitchen staff do a great job providing nutritious meals. My children certainly thrived here. Unfortunately their system only works well for children without any delays or disabilities. ADD ON: my review is based off my own experience. All of my 3 children attended this daycare. 2/3 had great experience with this daycare as a whole. My son unfortunately didn’t receive the best care. He has sensory processing disorder and had a very big speech delay that played part in his behavior. Therapist would visit my son at the center weekly to help him. Therapist worked closely with teachers to help them find ways to care for my son. Unfortunately, there was no follow through with plans that were put into place to assist my son. Again, this daycare is great for children who DO NOT have any delays or disabilities.
