“We joined Memories & Milestones Academy in 2018 when our oldest son was 15 months old. We now have two boys at the Academy in the toddler and infant rooms.

Our favorite things about the Academy are the strong relationships our children have with their teachers, the amazing curriculum planned, including science and art, and the overall structure of the Academy. We could not feel better about knowing our children are safe while away from us, with teachers who truly believe in our children’s development, and love them like we do!

“Our family joined the Academy because of the location and flexibility. We liked that the center is open when we need it to be and we wouldn’t get calls saying “daycare closed today.”

Our daughter is now in kindergarten and grasping curriculum very well thanks in part to the effort and programs at M&M. Our son is now in Pre-School and we are enjoying see him become more independent and chatty! Both have loved the other kids, teachers and aides over the years. As parents we have enjoyed the daily pictures and updates through Life Cubby, projects that are continuously sent home, professional photo sessions and family nights sponsored by the Academy.”

“After bouncing from in-home daycare providers for four years, our family needed more consistency and reliability in a provider. We were so fortunate to find Memories & Milestones!”

We have been there for more than a year and within days of enrolling, we noticed a positive change in our children! They love going to school, seeing their friends and learning new things. The teachers and staff are approachable, knowledgeable, loving and just amazing to interact with on a daily basis (not only for the kids but also for the parents). They have shown our children that learning can be fun at an early age, but they also understand that kids need to be kids! We love that they go outside multiple times a day to work off that energy. We have nothing but wonderful things to say about Memories & Milestones and so happy to be a part of their family!.”

daycare provider. There are several reasons we love Memories & Milestones. As parents, we both commute and don’t have a lot of flexibility. Here, the scheduling works! We don’t rely on one person to watch our kids but many wonderful teachers and aides. Our children, one in preschool and one a toddler love coming here. They learn so much, play outside and have met some wonderful friends. Without a doubt, this is the best care we could ask for. The teachers/aides care about our children’s growth and development and Ms. Tracy cooks them wonderful homemade meals!!

with my 2 year olds potty training. I don’t think of it as a daycare, I think of it as a school and am very confident that my children will be advanced once they go to school because of the many things they have learned already. The staff is so friendly & helpful all the time!!! I have recommended many friends to Memories & Milestones, and would recommend them to anyone I know who is looking for child care.”

learning and play. The teachers take that extra step to make sure our children are well cared for. On more than one occasion Memories & Milestones Academy has printed out helpful literature for us to use at home. They even printed out a book the girls read at school, to off some consistency in the girls learning. As parents, we enjoy hearing about all the different activities they do and the friends they play with each day. We receive a monthly calendar that lets us know the types of activities the girls are doing, we love seeing all the art projects they get to bring home. We would definitely recommend Memories & Milestones Academy to any family, it’s a great place for children to learn and play; and provides a welcomed sense of security for the parents, knowing our children are being well cared for.”
