Small Voices Academy has been an absolute blessing for our family. They do an amazing job keeping my son clean, well-fed, and cared for every single day. I truly appreciate the love and attention they give him, and it shows in how happy he is when he’s there. The staff does an excellent job teaching him new things, especially helping him learn his ABCs and 123s. It’s clear that learning is a priority while still making it fun and engaging for the kids. I also want to give special recognition to the academy director, Mr. Knowles. He is professional, caring, and truly dedicated to the children and families. The entire staff goes above and beyond, and it really makes a difference. My son truly enjoys his time at Small Voices Academy, and I feel confident knowing he’s in such great hands. I highly recommend this academy to any parent looking for a safe, loving, and educational environment for their child!

My daughter had a great experience at this facility. She attended when she was 8 months old. It was her first time in day care so naturally I was a bit worried about leaving her. But the staff welcomed her with open arms. She loved the facility and everyday when I picked her up she was all smiles and playful. I also loved getting the notifications throughout the day, letting me know when she was changed and how much she ate. Awesome professional facility!

My children have been attending this facility since a very young age. Im a mother of 5 children my oldest is 14 years old and she started goin at about 2 years old. Mrs. Knowles is a sweetheart. Her staff are very professional and the facility is clean. Ive never had any problems with my children attending. If an incident ever occured I was notified immediately. They feed them well and they also teach them things the school curriculum would teach them. 3 out of my 5 children were potty trained at this facility as well because the staff just knew they could use the bathroom without pullups and motivate them to do it along with patience lol. Mrs Knowles has been doing this for sooo long with kids and that lady have the passion and the drive to do it so I wasnt surprised after my 1st 2 children grew old and i had my last 3 liftle children that she was still doin this with her facilities. Overall I absolutely recommend this facility over ANY other facility and that's stamped ❤lol 😁
