Young Learners Academy has literally become part of our family! I truly could not imagine having done this phase of parenthood without the love, support, guidance and support of YLA. This preschool feels like home as soon as you walk in the door with the friendly staff and a warm environment. My 2 year old actually begged me to put her in the full day program so she could hang out with her friends and teachers more! I TELL ALL MY FRIENDS TO JOIN YLA because it gave me my life back as a working Mom knowing my kids were in the perfect hands at YLA! We had my 5 year old daughter go through the program as soon as they opened and now my 3 year old has been there for two years and I will be SO sad the day she is too old to go!! Miss Amy, Miss Kayla and Miss Kelsey are 10/10!! read more

We absolutely LOVE YLA! We found YLA in January of 2023. Our daughter joined Ms Amy's pre- k class midway through the school year and was welcomed into this loving community of teachers, children and families. She learned so much and was well prepared to start kindergarten. We then enrolled our 2 year old son and he has loved having Ms Kayla then Ms Kelsey as his teachers over the last 2 years. He comes home singing new songs and speaking new words in Spanish every day. YLA's teachers and staff do a wonderful job of bringing all of the families together to create a beautiful community and a happy place for children to learn and play. read more

We absolutely love Young Learners Academy! My 4-year-old son has been a student to all the teachers at YLA, starting from the 2's class with Ms. Camilla and now at the Preschool class with Ms. Nancy. I really cannot say enough about how kind and nurturing the teachers are here and how devoted they are to their craft. Trusting a place with the majority of your little one's day is definitely nerve wrecking as a first-time parent, especially with a "COVID baby," but I saw how much my son progressed in so many areas- emotionally**, academically, socially- as he attended YLA. (** super special thanks to the teachers for having to deal with my son's meltdowns and emotional wiles, even comforting me and coaching me through it!) My son has grown by leaps and bounds and they have been raised him through it! As I've been a child educator in various capacities, with my mom working as a preschool teacher and my aunt owning her own preschool, I have come to have pretty high standards for preschools and teachers. Yet, YLA is exceptional! Their crafts and activities are so fun and creative. They host the most epic events! They incorporate the Zoo-phonics and the Handwriting without Tears curriculum in engaging ways, and my son loves it! The facility is clean, spacious, and thoughtfully arranged. They communicate through the Brightwheels app so you can see pictures of what your little one is doing during the day; you can also use the app to check-in, message the staff, and pay tuition. Being a nurse, I'm also very pleased that they are committed to serving organic and healthier snacks throughout the day. I also chose this school's philosophy over a completely play-based model, because I thought my son would do best with some structure and consistency. That said, they do incorporate a lot of free time and free play and always tailor the activities to their age and level. What thrills me is how my son feels about school ("It's great!"), his excited attitude towards learning, but most of all that he gets to make wonderful memories in these formative years with all the wonderful, caring people at YLA. read more

Young Learners Academy is a one of a kind preschool! We could not be happier with our decision to transition our 4 year old son to Young Learners Academy from a previous preschool. Kayla and Amy are amazing in so many ways. The entire staff of teachers are stellar, dedicated to their students and genuinely love what they do (which is not always the case!). Our son has thrived academically and blossomed socially in the YLA environment. We are so grateful to have YLA in our lives. read more

This Preschool is an absolute Gem!! You know the feeling you get when you walk in somewhere and you can feel the Love, this school is it! The staff is always happy and you can tell they truly love the kids and are proud of their preschool. My daughter is 2 and this is her first preschool. She marches in like she owns the place and is always excited to go! It feels like a second home and their snacks are really healthy too. It's not your typical preschool, this one is really special! I feel so lucky to have found this school and can be at peace knowing my child is adored and is having fun. Highly recommend! read more

The #1 reason we chose YLA for our 2 year old daughter is the staff. Together they create a safe, loving, educational, and fun environment that our daughter loves. She always looks forward to going to school! We also appreciate the cozy and creative layout of the classes and free play space. We highly recommend YLA! read more

My son loves when he goes to school at Young Learners Academy! Amazing teachers keep the kids active and learning while at school!

We absolutely love YLA! My biggest regret is not having my son start sooner. Since joining YLA my son actually loves school now and is thriving (after 8mo at a different preschool that was not so great) ! Everyone is sooo sweet at YLA and they keep everything nice and clean...most importantly, they all care and are genuinely happy and love to be with these little babes of ours. It is such a relief sending your kid somewhere you feel they are safe and cared for. At YLA they do zoo phonics and circle time which my son loves and is learning so much from; they get delicious snacks; tons of outside time; they do fun crafts; have tons of themed days/weeks; parents coffee; special guests like the firefighters with their cool fire engines, and so much more. Last but not least, we get allllll the updates from meal time to potty time, to awesome pics and videos from our sons day. It is the best seeing him having fun and learning! I can go on and on about how much we love YLA and are so thankful for the teachers there, and the impact they've had on our family! read more

We are so happy and LUCKY to have found YLA. My son started at YLA in 2022, and my daughter just started there this year- both kids have learned so much and I am truly amazed. The teachers use Brightwheel for communication, seeing little pictures of my babies throughout the day is so sweet. They offer flexible programs, which are hard to find. The lunch bunch is great, provides healthy and fun meals and a nice break in packing/cooking for mama. The Directors Kayla and Amy are SO incredible, have great communication and work so so hard to make sure each kid feels safe and loved. Thank you to Kayla and Amy for creating such a loving and safe learning environment for our kids! We are eternally grateful! read more

Our family absolutely loves YLA. The director, Kayla Young is truly one of the most loving and giving human beings I've met. Running a preschool isn't about making a profit for her, it is all about helping children grow and learn in a safe & loving environment and about making relationships with all of the families that attend her school. If you go to YLA you become family to Ms Kayla and all of the other teachers - it really is unlike any other preschool I've toured or been a part of. As a new mom it was so hard to enroll my 2 year old in school for the first time and every school I went to I left with a sick feeling in my stomach knowing that it wasn't a good fit for us. After meeting Kayla for the first time I immediately felt comfortable. She made everything about my kids/our family's needs and put all my doubts and reservations about my little one starting preschool to rest. Ms Kayla, Ms Amy, Ms Sara, Ms Camilla, Ms Nancy, & Ms Cece are all like family to us. My kids run up and hug all of them when they get to school even though they don't have all of them as teachers this year. As a parent it feels so great to know not only are your kids safe but but they are happy, learning, and loving every minute they are away from you. I can't say enough amazing things about this group of women and this program. I would give them 10,000 stars if I could. read more

So so so happy we found YLA. The staff are all so wonderful and loving, and they truly care about the kids. My daughter absolutely loves going to school here, and comes home happy each day. She does lots of fun activities, but also learns quite a bit for being in preschool. The snacks they provide are unique and healthy, and my daughter actually enjoys them (tricky for a picky eater!) I could not be happier with our decision to have our daughter attend here. read more

Our son loved his time here, especially with the teachers. The staff were friendly, kind, nurturing, and patient! Another plus, the school is very clean and organized. We also loved their flexibility with pick ups, nap times or any other special requests. If you're looking for a trustworthy preschool with rockstar staff, YLA is the place for you! read more

We are so thankful that we found Young Learners Academy for two of my children. The schools itself is beautiful, clean, and you feel like you're home the second you walk inside. The teachers have treated my children like their own and have formed relationships that will last forever. This preschool is everything and more I could have hoped for when trying to find a safe, happy, educational and loving establishment to send my kids to. read more

We could not be happier with our decision to send our 2 year old daughter to Young Learners Academy. Kayla and Amy are amazing, and give us the utmost confidence that our daughter is being cared for and loved every single day. The teachers are stellar and so dedicated to their students and their growth and wellbeing. Our daughter has thrived, with language explosions, potty training and social interaction in the YLA environment. I wish I could give more than 5 stars, because we truly feel so fortunate to have YLA in our lives. read more

YLA is truly the BEST!! The teachers are amazing with the kids. I feel like I am dropping my son off with family every morning. He loves going to school each morning, and I love the ease of the drop-off process. The one-on-one attention they give to each child is unmatched. School should be fun, and the staff at YLA makes it exactly that with their curriculum and amazing activities, science projects, and experiences they dedicate to the children. I can't imagine not having YLA and their staff in our lives! read more

Young Learners Academy is the best of the best! The Director and Teachers are one of a kind and you can see how much they truly care for each other and the students. In a previous school my son was never able to get comfortable and did not love going to school but that has completely changed with YLA, now he can't wait to return and says his school is AWESOME! It is really like a family and we are so lucky to have our son attending here. The curriculum is great, my son has known how to spell his name since he was in the 3's room and they also help reinforce good values like being kind and having good manners. They have even changed up their snacks to incorporate healthier, organic options and plan to start their own garden which is incredible. I can't say enough how much we love YLA and highly recommend them if you are looking for a place that will care for your child as they would their own! read more

We have loved starting our preschool journey with Young Learners Academy! Our 3yr old was definitely having a hard time being away from mom, but Kayla, Amy and all the amazing teachers there are so great with him. They are so caring and understanding of each families needs and helped put me at ease with this new transition. My baby that cried this first few times leaving me now walks in with a smile so happy to be there! read more
