My children have been enrolled at Learning Paths Academy since October 2024, and I couldn’t be happier with our experience so far. The transition into the center was seamless, thanks to the incredible admin staff, Ms. Shanel, and the wonderful teachers, Ms. Megan and Ms. Alexus. My children absolutely love coming to school—they’re constantly learning new things, which is so evident at home. The environment is clean, welcoming, and clearly designed for children to learn through play every day. This summer, I also enrolled my oldest in the summer camp program, and it has been an amazing experience thanks to Ms. Carrie. He counts down the days until he can go back, especially for pool days! I am truly grateful to have found such an amazing school with teachers who support not just my children, but me as a parent as well. It gives me so much peace of mind knowing my children are safe, gaining new skills, and—most importantly—are truly loved. I would highly recommend England Run to anyone looking for childcare with well-trained, caring staff who help children grow socially, emotionally, and cognitively through play. Love, love, love this childcare center!
Hi Mrs. Shanel and Carrie, We are so grateful for the great staff you have at the school, our two kids love their teachers. Big shoutout to Mrs. Odessa, Mrs. Halima, Mrs. Carrie, Mrs. Stefanie, Mrs. Quey, Mrs. Alexus, Mr. Wally and all the other teachers that fill-in when one of the main ones are not there. All of the teachers mentioned above are so caring, respectful and kind to our little ones. Especially to our boy, who has been at the school the longest! We are so grateful and happy with the school! Thank you Mrs. Shanel and we are happy that you and Mrs. Carrie are the ones running the school. Since the beginning I love that all our concerns are heard and addressed. You gals are awesome! Sincerely, De Hoyos Family
. I would rate the Minnieland Corporation with zero stars if possible. My child was enrolled in this daycare for just one day, during which the company discriminated against him due to his Individualized Education Program (IEP). I refrained from disclosing this information to avoid potential HIPAA violations. It is crucial for parents to understand that they are not required to share their child's IEP with daycare facilities, which are not entitled to attend IEP meetings yet seek access to review such documents. Upon my refusal to provide the IEP, I was informed that my child could no longer attend the daycare. The only reason they were aware of his IEP was due to a breach of his rights. Their policy indicates that if a child requires special accommodations, it should be noted that my son does not need any such support. Each IEP is unique, and my child does not require special accommodations to participate in daycare activities. He is enrolled in before and aftercare programs. This facility is not an accredited educational institution with a formal curriculum or qualified educators. As a single parent, I submitted all necessary paperwork two weeks prior to my return to work which is tomorrow, I also, paid for 2 weeks in advance. This is how the corporation treats its clients. If you or your child have experienced similar issues, please reach out to me, as this should not happen to anyone else. The next correspondence will be directed to Minnieland Corporation.
As a former employee at England Run and current mother to a child who attends Minnieland, I cannot begin to express my love for the staff, program, and happiness that consumes us each and every day. I had a very particular idea of the kind of environment I wanted my child to be a part of when I was searching for an early learning center. I was drawn back to the England Run Minnieland because honestly, there was not another center that met me expectations like this one. The moment my daughter was enrolled she was welcomed with so much love and positive energy. She amazes our family by the new things she learns each and every day with so much enthusiasm and excitement. This is what parents look for in an early learning center. Minnieland @ England Run is shaping my daughter into a well-rounded, confident, smart, and happy individual. The curriculum and encouragement from her teachers are preparing her for the future in a way that makes her want to learn. The positive energy and constant communication from the directors and her teachers makes me feel beyond comfortable and confident my daughter is in the best care. I couldn't ask for a better group of people or program for her. She truly is "learning in a loving environment".
England Run is an amazing center. The teachers are extremely nice. The Director, Resa and Assistant Director, Whitney are wonderful and are always available to answer any questions I have. They are so very caring. The cook Noreen is always pleasant. My daughter has been at this location for quite some time and I have never felt more safe and comfortable knowing she is in good hands. Thank you so much to the staff who has cared for my children as if they were their own
