My son has been here since he was shy of 3 months and I want to take a moment to acknowledge how grateful I am to Mrs. Ana and Mrs. Mikah. Mrs. Ana is the only reason my son attends this daycare, as she is professional, attentive, and extremely knowledgeable in her field. I truly appreciate the care and dedication both of these ladies show every day to my son.

I have twins and it's very difficult to find a place that would accommodate both of them at the same time. Ms. Lashell assured me that my twins were going to be fine after dealing with a horrible experience from another child care center. The staff is caring, creative with the children, patient and always doing something for the kids and the parents. They had an amazing experience during fall festival where they actually bought a pony in, they have pizza and ice cream parties and to top it off they finished the year with an amazing Christmas show where even the one year old babies were included. The staff ended the night by dancing and then they fed us and it was actually good. Kudos to Shells on the improvements and the new staff. Shout out the the new Administrator Ms. Ginger.

My kiddo has been going here for just about a year now. He has loved each and every teacher he had. They are awesome at communicating about his day and keeping parents informed anbout any incident that may have happened. They occasionally put on fun events a that my kid looks forward to participating in and has made a bunch of friends while there.

I love shell’s early Learning Center. My son is in the two year old class and he loves Ms. Lou and Ms. Emily. He has a feeding disorder and they have been working with him since day one to make him feel comfortable and included. They listen to my concerns when it comes to my son, and they always give me a good report at the end of the day. Im truly thankful for all of the staff at Shell’s. They are so welcoming and sweet.

We have been going to shells for three months and my son loves it. His teachers have always been great with communicating and letting us know how we can best support him with the curriculum while at home. I definitely recommend it.
