When my daughter first started, she was incredibly shy and reserved. However, the nurturing environment and the dedication of the teachers and staff have worked wonders on her. Over time, she blossomed into a confident and brave young girl, eager to participate in class and school activities. I cannot thank the teachers and staff enough for their patience, encouragement, and unwavering support. They have created a safe and positive atmosphere that allows every child to thrive. We are truly grateful for the remarkable impact they have had on our daughter’s growth.

All of the teachers there are very nice and caring. Pride & Joy has an excellent curriculum for the children. They are teaching them not only socialism and manors but the children are learning how to read, write, count and more. My oldest son just started kindergarten this year. And at the beginning of the year they do Star Early testing and my son's scores are amazing. He tested in the 99% nationally for the Star Early Literacy test for his grade. HIs literacy skills are comparable to those of a typical 2nd grader in the fourth month of the school year. Hands down Pride & Joy Learning Center is school of choice for early learning! And my youngest son who's attending Pride and Joy is following right behind his big brother! "Thank You" Pride and Joy Learning Center for being a school who takes pride in caring for and teaching young children. ----- Author: Jeni Aizpurua Rating: 5/5 Date: 8/9/2023, 9:49:10 PM Review: My daughter started at PJ since she was almost 2 years old!.

I am beyond happy I chose Pride and Joy as my son's learning center! Ms. Trisha is an amazing teacher who has helped my son blossom in his learning. My son started a little later in the school year, but she welcomed him and made the transition smooth. She is patient with him and he tells me all the time how much he loves having her as his teacher! The assistants are incredibly sweet and help the entire school run smoothly. Ms. Carrie in the office has the kindest soul, and she could tell as a first time mother I was concerned about my son enrolling into school. She made the whole process simple and I can not thank her enough for all her assistance. If you are unsure about P&J, I extend my 100% honest recommendation to attend this amazing school rooted in faith.

The level of appreciation we hold for the entire team at Pride and Joy is immeasurable. Enrolling our son at Pride and Joy was undoubtedly one of the best decisions we have made as parents. Unfortunately, due to work we had to move out of town. But now even more than before we see how their dedication and care are truly remarkable, they go above and beyond, and the impact on our child is evident every day.

As a first time mom and mother taking their child to school for the first time it can be insanely scary and anxiety provoking. Pride and joy came recommended by my neighbor whose kids went there until they aged out and had nothing but amazing things to say. Soon I came to find several people from my neighborhood went there. So we decided to tour it and meet the team. I felt comfortable immediately after meeting Miss Carrie and my daughters to be teacher miss Mickey. They are two of the warmest, most welcoming and loving people. The ideal people to work in this industry. My daughter was a little over one when she started in early 2023. Her class size was small so I loved that the teacher to child ratio was so small. She absolutely LOVED going to school. Would run inside and not look back at me once. What I loved most is how small the school is. All the teachers even for the other grades know all the children and they frequently help out each others classes. They quickly learn all the children by name and know exactly who everyone’s parents are. It’s a very close knit program and I loved that. I also loved that they cleaned their own facility and didn’t hire outside companies so they are able to oversee that everything is held to a certain standard. This past year my daughter was only sick twice and as a 1-2 year old class I’d say that’s REALLY good and I credit it to how well they upkeep their rooms. Communication with team and her teachers is very open and I am always able to get ahold of someone if I ever have a question or concern. It’s tremendous to see how much my daughter learned being there. Often times she would randomly say or do something at home we had no idea she could do and we just assumed she learned at school, like the first time she pointed at a picture of an apple and said Apple. They have a great educational curriculum and they don’t just sit your child in front of a TV. All in all I would absolutely recommend pride and joy. We loved everything about it there and are so sad to have to leave (we’re moving out of state due to my husbands job). In fact it’s one of the hardest parts about leaving because as a mom of now 2, finding a school you are whole heartedly comfortable with is a rare find. I can only hope we find somewhere even half as great as pride and joy. I will forever compare every school experience back to the expectations I learned here. Thank you Miss Mickey, Miss Edilima, the new assistants and Miss Carrie (as well as the teachers in the other classes) who have always treated my girl like your own. I truly believe she is such a happy, social, smart little girl because of your amazing team! We will miss you all!!

We are going in our second year at Pride and Joy, we couldn’t have chosen a better place to send our daughter. We are always welcomed with a smile and every details is well thought not to mention their little recitals and parties, so cute! Ms Alana and Ms Leslie did a wonderful job! We are very happy and definitely recommend this school!

Wonderful school! As a first time mother I am so fortunate to have my child attend pride and joy. His teacher Miss Mikey is so attentive to my child’s needs, developments, struggles, and achievements. She communicates daily with me and I can tell she does the same with all her students. At such a young age children need someone attentive and proactive and she is exactly that! Thank you for all you do! UPDATE 3 YEARS later and still have nothing but great things to say about this school. Thank you to all the staff for helping me provide my child with the best start!
