When we came in for a tour, we were welcomed I knew this was the place I would be able to take my babies to while I have to work.(I was a stay at home mom for almost 3 years) so This was very hard for me to leave my babies, I still remember my first day I dropped off my four year old first, He ran in excited to meet new friends, then I took my 2 year old into her class, I was worried about her she was never away from my side, The way they transitioned her was perfect, Its like Stacey knew just what my babies needed and worked to make sure her staff worked towards their needs. Then the hardest of all my 6mo old daughter. I was so scared to leave her, I am a breastfeeding mother and I kept asking questions to see if the staff would know what to do with the frozen milk, and if they didn’t know the answers they were quick to find the answers and eager to learn. That first day was super stressful tears running down my face, the staff opened their hearts and arms to my family who they didn’t even know. *another mom dropping her baby off said "oh I remember that feeling, It gets easier." handing my baby over kissing her forehead and walking past the director Kelligh made me feel normal by telling me how she sobbed that same day about putting her daughter on the bus, everyone reassured me and Each time I called, over and over to check on my beautiful babies, I never felt I was a burden. Then day after day We never lost the importance, our family was given, My son's teacher Ms Lavera has been a delight My son Loves her and looks forward to seeing her, she is always coming up with neat experiments, when we walk in the class no matter what she has going on she always said hello and gave me a update, she came up with a plan for potty training and now my son is on the way! My 2 year old daughter had the hardest time transitioning and would scream and cry when I would walk out the door. The teachers would work hard using distraction and even the owner Stacey would assure me she would check on her and she really did. And in the infant room AS MUCH AS A PAIN that I was in the beginning the teachers in there understood, I was a picky mom and wanted my little one taken care of just the way I would. And I never heard a complaint. Well Due to finances my sweet babies had their last day at pca and I cried harder and longer then the very first day when I dropped them off. Pca became our extended family
When we walk in the door it’s like coming home, I love all the staff at PCA My Babies don't understand they won’t be back. The teachers went around saying bye to them and giving hugs My 4 year old and 2 year old talk about their teachers all the time, Oh and with all the hard work *THEY ARE BOTH ALMOST FULLY POTTY TRAINED* I don't know what were going to do with out our daily dose of PCA
WE LOVE PCA

I love the different themes you have for each month. I'm a new mom and I'm so excited to get Eve involved in P.J. day, etc. I love that you include the little ones! I also like the way Emily writes out every accomplishment. I save them in her "art" folder. Emily also has great art projects that hang in frames around the house. Eve LOVES coming to daycare everyday. I've seen her blossom since she started in the toddler room. Thank you for giving us the peace of mind while we leave our darling Eve with you!!

Joe's only been coming for a couple of weeks, but we are already impressed with how welcomed he feels. Levera has been wonderful with him and we appreciate the time she takes to let us know how Joe is doing. We look forward to many years of him coming to you all.

We are also very impressed with the staff at PCA! Our daughter has been there a year and thrives with the program. The new ownership works very hard to implement improvements and are open to suggestions. They have accomodated our daughters food preferences and I would highly recommend the Academy to any new parent!

We are very pleased with PCA! The new owners have put forth many improvements and we are looking forward to seeing what is in the future. Our 1 year old daughter has been enrolled since she was 3 mos old and continues to thrive. Our 8 year old son enjoys the after school program. The kindness and compassion I see from the staff and owners is incomparable.

As a parent of two children at PCA, I can honestly say that I have grown to really care for the staff and have watched my children thrive. Everyone in the Academy has adopted my little girl, and I have to pry her out of their arms everyday! My oldest has had her share of listening and behavior challenges, and the staff and new owner have really gone out of their way to help me try new things and collaborate on ways to improve it. I am very excited to be signing my daughter up for Kindergarten in the fall, and am a true PCA fan. The new owners are really committed to continual improvement in all areas of the Academy, and I have seen the changes first hand. Looking forward to an even better place for my children to thrive. Sincerely, Natalie Lambert (mom to Olivia, 4 and Alaina 1)
