Mill Plain Childrens Village

My six year old attended Mill Plain Children’s Academy for about a month, and we only had to leave because we lost our state subsidy. I still wanted to take a moment to boast about this amazing center! The staff were unbelievably kind, no matter which classroom they were in. The director, Sheila, is so sweet, you can tell she truly cares about how her center runs and about each individual child. Coming from someone who has worked in childcare for over 8 years, I can confidently say this is one of the best centers I’ve seen. It’s always clean, the classrooms are well-organized and inviting, and the kids are constantly engaged and having fun. The artwork displayed was always adorable! It’s a smaller center, which made it feel very personal and family-like. My kiddo was so sad to leave because he made great friends and loved his teachers. I even considered enrolling my two year old because we loved it so much. Thank you, Mill Plain Children’s Academy, for always being top tier. We will truly miss you! 💛

Amazing staff and management. They have shown care and love to our little one at every step. I get several pictures throughout the day and every time we pick her up she is very happy. I love that the care providers, not only take care of our kids, but they actually care about our kids! All childcare is sooo expensive, but we used Kiddie Academy for our first kid over 3 years ago and the Children's Academy is less expensive and has better quality care.

Absolutely love this daycare! Both of my children have attended MPCA, and I cannot say enough wonderful things about our experience. My son started when he was four years old and was in BJ and Ms. Lori’s class. He graduated from Pre-K and headed off to kindergarten in 2024. During summer breaks, he also attended Ms. Michelle’s class, which he always enjoyed. My daughter began attending MPCA in 2023 when she was just one year old. She was placed with Kenna and Rosa, whom she absolutely adored. They loved her so well, and Kenna (Honey is the nickname she gave her) especially holds a very special place in her heart—even now that she’s three years old. When my daughter turned 2.5 yrs old, she transitioned into Kaitlin and Kylie’s class. They were incredible and so supportive during her move from the baby/toddler room. After turning three, she moved into Carla’s class (with the help of Jessica) where Carla did an amazing job helping with the potty-training process. Once fully potty trained, she transitioned into Sarah (and Zoe) and Destiny’s class, where she truly thrived.She loved every moment and had the time of her life. While we were sad to leave, we are so grateful for all the memories she made along the way. She still talks about Ms. Sarah and asks about her often! These teachers have been incredible to my children—truly like a second family. They always looked out for my kids, showed them so much love, and made them feel safe and special every single day. A heartfelt thank you to Sheila and Mackayla, along with all the amazing teachers, for everything you do. We are forever grateful!

Can’t say enough positive things about this location. Love the water days, the numerous art work projects, and how much daughter learns from this location. Not to mention they truly care and treat these kids as if they were their own! If I could give 100 stars I would. Friendly staff, never once seen them on their phones, and if you love to see pictures throughout your work day you will be smiling all day because of all the fun your child is having. Highly recommend to anyone and everyone!

Best daycare you could ask for! They really love the kids here! Everyday they do education fun projects with the kids and send you picture updates of what your little is up to. The staff are friendly and truly care about their families! I would highly recommend this daycare to any of my friends and family! My daughter has been going her almost two years now!
