She has homework, goes on field trips, and has a lot of in-class assignments. The director, teachers, and staff are very attentive to the students and responsive to the parents. My daughter is learning a lot. I've often been surprised by what she knows! I looked at other places for her to attend before enrolling her here, and LSF stood out the most. I know they will prepare her for kindergarten. I just hope whatever kindergarten she goes to is ready for the level she'll be at so that she doesn't regress. If you're searching for a learning center that's positive, clean, loving, and actually teaches your child, I recommend you take a tour and see for yourself. You will be amazed! I also find the cost very reasonable as they feed the children breakfast, lunch and snack!

She has been going to the daycare as a drop in when she was an infant and started attending daily when she was 1. She is now 3 and knows everyone's name, kids, and teachers. All the children know her name. When I go pick her up, the children say your mommy is here. The daycare is like a little family. The daycare is not just a daycare. The academy helps me continue with teaching my daughter the basics. My daughter knows how to spell her name because the 2 year old class. When we go over letters at home she will say different classmates name that begin with the letters. She sings along with the class and continues when she gets in the car to do home. I'm glad I can trust the daycare team with my toddler.

Most of the workers are really nice and your child will probably be happy here…read more Room for improvement: They have a huge problem with lack of communication. On several occasions they have closed with no/short notice on non-holidays leaving parents scrambling for care & paying twice - once to Haynes and again for emergency care. The only notice they might provide is a small notice on the wall among a lot of other postings. You will have to pay for daycare or lose money when they close on non holidays, which is becoming more frequent. They do have a monthly newsletter (that usually comes out about 10 to 14 days into the month) but other than that, they do not have a real time means of providing timely information to parents. They do not have a website, social media presence or email list for parent information. They will not provide any kind of regular feedback regarding how your child is doing or how your child is progressing, even though parents have requested it. Your child may learn a little when he moves to an older class but he stagnates during the school year because younger children are moved into his class & the class goes back to the material for the younger children instead of taking steps to ensure the older children in the class continue to progress. They seem to be overcrowded. The before and after care and the drop ins seem to take their numbers to more than they can handle. Stop by in the mornings and you will see children of all ages - 2 through school age - mixing together in a chaotic environment with minimal supervision or in the evenings they may be watching TV on a screen the size of a 20 inch computer screen. Some classes share a room separated by a few blocks. It is a lot of children in a small space. The friendliness and kindness of the staff & the way they teach the other children to be friendly towards each other & greet each other warmly mean that your child will enjoy this place but as a parent, the failure to regularly communicate might leave you frustrated, as a general matter & with concerns that your child is not being taught to his potential because of the lack of communication and feedback & the failure/inability to manage the progress of each child as younger children enter the classes.

Here are the reasons why: 1) reasonable tuition 2) great teachers 3) they helped a lot with potty training 4) they don't call you at work every time your child's nose is running 5) I love their snow policy (some daycare centers close as soon as the first snowflake falls) 6) the office staff are super friendly and most importantly FAIR 7) they open super early I give five stars and they deserve ALL of them!!!

This is going to be a very long and detailed review…read more I will start off by saying that Nicole, the director of the school, is very nice. She is well spoken and seems to be very dedicated to her job. If she had been the one teaching the class I might not have pulled my son out of this school after 3 days. When you first walk into the school the director sits you down and gives you the rundown on the curriculum and schedule. It sounds like a normal pre-k curriculum (writing, nap time, play time). There were about 8 kids in the classroom all sitting around the table quietly as the teacher dictated the Spanish lesson. At first I thought "wow these kids are so well behaved for 4 years olds". In hindsight, it was probably because they were miserable. That night my son came home and didn't seem as enthusiastic as he usually is. I asked him about his day, and the report he gave was not what any parent wants to hear from their child. He said that his teacher was not nice to him. I asked why and he said that he was having trouble with the school work. He also stated that nap time was stressful for him. I told him that if he has trouble with his school work then he should ask for help. That is why the teacher is there. The following day my husband and I went down to the school to discuss our concerns with the director. She assured us that our son would get used to the work load and being in a new environment. The next day I showed up to the school unannounced. I wanted to see how my son was doing in class without making my presence known. As I walked to the classroom I heard my son crying. I couldn't see him yet, but I know my son's cry. The ASSISTANT director (different from the woman in the office) was in the next classroom. The walls are half walls so she was able to see into my son's classroom. I asked her why he was crying and she said verbatim "probably cuz he don't wanna do his work". I then crouched down to look through the crack in the door so that I wouldn't be seen. My son was sobbing saying please help me I need help. The teacher seemed frustrated and told him to switch seats with another student (She didn't know I was there either). She kept tying to force the pencil into his right hand. She was very short in the way she spoke once again as if she was frustrated. I finally stood up hand made my presence known to her and whispered that he was left handed. She then switched the pencil to his other hand and her tone became more pleasant. My son stopped crying and was actually able to do the work. After I left I called the corporate number and was directed to the regional director. I left a lengthy voicemail explaining everything. She was very professional and seemed genuinely concerned. She suggested a meeting with the directors and the teacher. I sat down with the head director and the teacher. The assistant director was not there. I expressed my concerns once again including the extremely inappropriate and unprofessional comment made by the assistant director. The director assured me that the issue would be addressed and the teacher asked for suggestions on how to make my son more comfortable. I felt a smidge better about the situation. The next morning my usually bouncy enthusiastic 4 year old sobbed as we got ready for school. He said please don't make me go there mommy. I had to take the day off because I just couldn't send him back there. In closing, Nicole was very nice and professional even after I shared my decision to pull my son out of the school. My main issue was that there was a lack of professionalism with the assistant director. Firstly, she spoke slang in a school environment. Secondly, I am his parent and I am concerned with why my child is crying in your school. Yes, kids cry, but that wasn't a temper tantrum cry. That was a frustrated child who isn't receiving what he needs cry. Don't ever think it's okay to talk to a parent that way. Also the teacher is very young. Probably in her early 20s. She needs further education in child care. It was evident after 2 minutes of me observing. I know working with children can be frustrating but you can't let that show. Lastly, the nap time is entirely too long for 4 year olds. It's 3 hours long. Not every 4 year old naps. My son was forced to lay still and quiet for 3 whole hours even though he wasn't tired. There is no alternative. That's just plain torture. I expected way more from a well known chain of daycare. Very regretful for choosing this school. My son has started a new school and is back to his old self.

They are so well organized and fill the kids days with fun and educational activities. They take the older kids on great field trips. The summer program is more like camp than day care, and my kids absolutely love it - water play or pool every week, a weekly theme, magic show, reptile show, etc. etc. They go out of their way to have family events throughout the year (Thanksgiving feast, Christmas program, Mother's Day, Father's Day, Kick Off to Summer, Fall Festival etc), which make you feel part of the family. They provide all the meals and snacks, usually including a hot and healthy lunch. I always feel confident going to work that my kids are safe and well cared for. It's not easy leaving your little ones all day, but Loving 2 Learn made it so much better! We're really going to miss this school and the staff and other kids now that my little ones are moving on.

She told my class when we were in line treat me like how you treat your parents but some kids don't treat their parents that well. Plus, SHE IS NOT OUR PARENT. and all we did to her was just turn around and she said that we were disrespectful.

I got no answer and decided to take off a day of work to go to the school to gain information. When I arrived and explained that I called several times and had now taken off a day to come here, Ms. Hawkins was very rude and disrespectful. She completely ignored my comments and moved on to ask me what I wanted. I asked her if she in fact works during the week that I called and she stated that she did and moved on to ask what I wanted. Totally disregarded the fact that I has to take off work to get answers that she should have been able to answer over the phone if she was competent enough or actually at work. Ms. Hawkins is the sole reason that my child will not be attending this school. As the frontline she made a horrible representation of the school.
