What Parents Are Saying

My daughter currently attends Mitchell Learning Academy and she loves it. She always looks forward going to school. The staff is amazing and keeps you updated throughout the day about your child. Would definitely recommend ❤️

My daughter has been going there since she was 6 weeks and she loves all the staff like they are her family. She is now 4 and runs in most days before even saying goodbye. She is also learning so much everyday. a lot of people ask if she is 5-6 because she speaks so well and is so smart. I honestly do not think she would be where she is education wise without this school!

After nine months of searching for a learning center for my child as a new mom was nerve-wracking. However, when my son and I did a tour I immediately fell in love. The owners are very professional. My son is so happy and learning. His teachers are great. Best decision!!!

Best preschool in the 32225 area code hands down! The preschool is overall very organized and structured! Staff is patient, attentive, and just an overall pleasure! It feels good dropping my child off to a preschool full of smiling staff members! They care about the kids and strengthening their development based on each individual need of the child. The owner/director is AMAZING and runs a top-tier program!!!

Due to an unfortunate road bump in our lives, my husband and I were forced to seek childcare outside of our home. I searched high and low, far and wide until I came across MLA. And what a blessing it has been!

Our daughter is 16 months old today and has spent the last 7 months growing and blooming in this school. Just recently I had a parent teacher conference with Ms. Latoya (she’s the best, but I’m biased because she’s ours 😋) and you can FEEL the passion these women have when they are caring for your child(ren). They treat them as their own and guide them through their milestones, being their hand to hold while yours are preoccupied with work. They post updates and pictures to let you see what your minis are doing while you are apart. Our Sadie has become a social butterfly because of the encouragement she receives here.

So thankful for the services these ladies provide. 5 out of 5!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

It is with a heavy heart that we had to take our daughter out because we moved 40 miles away. Mrs. Mitchell has a true love and care for each of the students who walk through their doors. My oldest child knew no other daycare than MLA and the love and nurturing that she was shown in her formative early years by teachers like Ms. Melissa, Ms. Tavia, Ms. Logan, and all the others will stay with her all her life.

I had two daughters who spent their first years with MLA and everything from Christmas programs to Halloween costume parades and donuts with Dad will leave lasting memories for both them as well as myself and my wife.

So Thank you again, Mrs. Mitchell. We love you and your staff and appreciate the past 6 years that you've given us.

I give MLA 5 stars because I know Mrs. Mitchell is there every day and knows exactly what's going on in the daycare facility. If I have a concern, she promptly puts effort into the matter. She is very involved and dedicated to the children. I have really loved seeing her passion and participation in her learning center. I like the updates throughout the day about my child and seeing photos with her engagement into learning. The staff seems quite permanent and I love seeing Ms. Melissa's smiling face in the morning at drop off. I personally love that fact that I see familiar faces and that the staff stays consistent. Highly-qualified staff and I recommend this center.
