Author: Krissy Rating: 5/5 Date: 3/21/2024, 12:06:16 AM Review: FCLC is undeniably one of the best preschools out there. I have been on both sides of the fence. Parent and employee. As a parent, all of my children have attended the school. I was introduced the center in 2006. Down through the years it has always been a very safe and caring environment for all. The teachers are amazing and kind. As an employee, I have never worked at a school that has treated each and every employee with the kindness and respect as FCLC has. The director, Ms Gay, truly cares about every employee and each child. She goes out of her way to create an atmosphere where everyone will thrive. Overall, I would recommend them to anyone in need of safe and reliable learning environment for kids!! The school always looks clean and the staff is always friendly. ----- Author: Sharna Jones Rating: 5/5 Date: 3/20/2024, 10:09:05 PM Review: I would highly recommend 1000 times over this place, it amazing and is such a blessing and Mrs.Gay and Mrs. Tonya are heaven sent they treat everyone like family you don’t have to worry about you child because you know they are safe and having a fun time and learning .

They possess caring, certified teachers as well as an expert-designed curriculum for all ages taught. Mrs. Gay is the most involved, loving, compassionate Director/Woman I have ever met. Ms. Tonya, Ms. Haley, Lynn, Mrs. Marilyn, the entire staff are exactly the type of souls placed here by God to care for our children while also experiencing a great peace of mind. It’s an honor to know great people like this 🙏🏽🌻✨ Thank you 1st Class!

FCLC is not only a daycare. These amazing women led by the Matriarch herself, Gay Williams, have become like family. My daughter has been attending since she was 2 and is now 5. We love them! If you are looking for a Church based daycare/VPK I highly encourage you to bring your child here. I love that they incorporate chapel, Spanish class, and a Thanksgiving special every year. You really get to see the love the staff pours into each child. We will miss them all dearly when it's time for our daughter to move on to Kindergarten next year so I personally want to thank all the Staff for their love, guidance, and warm smiles they have given to my daughter while she has been here and making the entire experience wonderful for all of us.

My son has been attending FCLC since he was 14 months and now he is about to be 3. Since day 1 I’ve felt so comfortable leaving my son there! They love my son like their own and he thrives there. If anything happens, which of course it will involving kids, Ms Gay always takes it seriously and will work to correct the problem. Forever grateful to this place!

My son went to VPK in 2018 and now my daughter attends there since 2021! I just love the director, teachers, and pastors! I love how they care and truly love my children and pray over them! I see they too love on all the kids that come and go through those double doors. They have created a very family oriented atmosphere. I also happen to work at First Class Learning Center and as a teacher, I know you can’t please everyone, but the Director does go above and beyond to accommodate your every need. I highly recommend First Class Learning Center.

This daycare is filled with excellent teachers. The Director Gay Williams, runs a very tight ship. My niece has attended this school for over 2 years and has thrived under the leadership. I would recommend this program to anyone looking for a great place for their child to be enrolled.

Fantastic school! My daughter has attended since she was a new born. We have watched her thrive through their program over the years and couldn’t be happier with the staff and facility.
