There are so many great things I could say about Ovation Learning Center. The most important is that they have always treated my children like family. My son, who is now in the 1st grade, started there when he was 3. They watched him grow, the nurtured him in his growth, they helped potty trained him when I was failing miserably :-) Still to this day, two years after he left, they still ask about him and celebrate in his accomplishments. He is in the first grade and reads at a 9th grade level. He won 2nd place out of the entire kindergarten in the book fair last year - doing his project completely by himself. Ovation helped him see his full potential for learning and he has taken off with that process. He loves school and I truly believe Ovation and the amazing teachers/directors that he had are a huge part of that. They love my son and they care about what happens to him in the future. That is something you can take with you forever. My daughter just started the new year in the 5 yr old class. She has been there since she was 2. She is extremely shy and reserved but lights up with excitement when she talks about school. She has made friends there that I truly feel will stay with her forever. The staff knows her and knows her idiosyncrasies and they work with her in a way that is positive for her growth as a person. She is learning independence......such an important thing for a girl to learn. She is SO excited about the Picasso Prodigy Program. She loves art and can't wait to jump in feet first. Basically my kids love it there. I love it there. My son was very excited to learn that he would be going back to Ovation for after school care this year. "It was really awesome to go back Mommy". Ovation is family and I am proud that my kids are, have been and always will be Ovation kids. Thank you to Ms Brandy, Ms Leslie, Ms Amanda, Ms Jennifer and Ms Monique and all the teachers/directors that have been a part of my children's beginning education and been a part of helping them become amazing people.
When I needed a daycare for my grandson he had never been away from me, Ovation was highly recommended so we checked them out and I was very pleased with what I saw so we enrolled my grandson. He was scared to leave me at first but they helpful and caring and helped us adjust. He learned so much while going to Ovation. We loved everyone from the directors to the teachers. They treated us like family. The place was always clean. I would not have felt comfortable leaving him anywhere else. He went through their pre-K program and he was well prepared for Kindergarten. Thank you to everyone from Mrs. Brandy to his teacher Mrs. Monique.
Personally know of three families that send their children to Ovation, I have worked with the owner on various children theatrical productions, and also know 2 of the teachers. I have been on-site off & on for three years because of the above reasons. Everything I have seen, heard, and witnessed has been positive. The fact the curriculum includes artistic experience for the kids sets it apart from most on the coast. The facility is clean and organized. Best of all, I can tell you the staff is mindful and heartfelt when they are on duty and off. My only problem is not having kids of my own to send them!
The better part of my children's daycare experience has been at their second home, Ovation Learning Center. After a terrible experience at another childcare center on the coast, I very skeptically toured Ovation Learning Center and had a long heart-to-heart with the owner about my lack of faith in childcare facilities. Over the past seven and a half years, I have seen some staff come and go, a fairly common thing in business, but what I am certain of is that the owner and her dedicated staff appreciate the value of hiring teachers who care and who will give your child the most rewarding daycare experience possible. I will not sugarcoat it, I am not a huge fan of corralling children under one roof for a day and expecting there to be no issues, but when the issues happen and when the hard stuff has to be done this team DOES it! My children will have forever memories from their time here and have made lasting friendships as have I ♥ and I would be willing to bet that this one-of-a-kind place would be tough to beat. Check it out for yourself... you'll see what I saw all those years ago and won't be sorry!!!
