Hear What Parents Have To Say...
"My boy loves all his teachers and has progressed in his speech so much"
I love MFA. It is literally a god sent place. My husband and I are very very anxious parents and all the staff is so great. My boy loves all his teachers and has progressed in his speech so much. I don’t know what I am going to do when the time comes to part waaaays! Kaleb loves Ms. Yeika, Ms. Wanda and Ms. Kat so dearly, talks about them all day long. I am most grateful for Ms. Tanya, she literally brought so much peace to my heart and I know this is the BEST place Kaleb can be!"She is now thriving, interacting with kids her age, constantly learning and growing"
Being a first time mom and the fear of leaving my baby at daycare was a scary thought! Thankfully My First Academy welcomed Mila and I with open arms, they made us feel so safe and comfortable. After a week my daughter was jumping into their arms at drop off and waving good bye to me with a huge smile on her face. I knew at this moment we made an amazing choice! She is now thriving, interacting with kids her age, constantly learning and growing, while reaching her milestones. I cannot thank them enough! I would recommend to any parent that choosing this daycare was truly a blessing!"The kids eat very healthy foods, the lesson plans are so much fun"
5 stars across the board! We are so proud of how our son has developed in the 9 months he’s gone to MFA 3. The staff is very communicative and very caring and we love being part of the MFA family. The kids eat very healthy foods, the lesson plans are so much fun, and they keep parents involved every step of the way. I was very nervous about my son being in childcare outside of our home after having been home with me for the first two years, but my fears and worries were very quickly eased. I love receiving pictures of him throughout the day and being able to watch him on the camera. It really puts a working parent’s mind at ease."The staff goes above and beyond, especially in managing her medical condition"
My wife and I are so grateful for the amazing care and education our daughter receives at this VPK school. Every day, she comes home excited to share something new she’s learned, and she’s always happy. The staff goes above and beyond, especially in managing her medical condition, making sure to keep us updated throughout the day, which gives us great peace of mind. The school also organizes wonderful events, making the experience even more special for our family. We couldn’t ask for a better place for our daughter!"she is being cared for with love and kindness from every staff member"
My experience at My First Academy has been nothing but positive. I waited until my daughter was two years old to place her in daycare and was worried that she would have a difficult adjustment but the staff and teachers have been exceptional. When I drop my daughter off I have no doubts that she is being cared for with love and kindness from every staff member. The classroom cameras, consistent communication from her teachers and administrators, a balanced diet, and a well rounded curriculum are some of the reasons that I would not hesitate to recommend this school to other parents."Facilities are clean and safe, there are variety of educational and recreational activities"
I have had a wonderful experience at My first academy 4. From day one, the staff has been exceptionally friendly and professional. The facilities are clean and safe, and there are a variety of educational and recreational activities that keep children engaged and happy. I love seeing how my son has progressed in his social and emotional development. The teachers are caring and are always willing to communicate about each child's progress. In addition, the food is healthy and adapts to dietary needs. I recommend MFA 4 to any parent looking for a safe and stimulating place for their children. An excellent option!"The teacher in his classroom made me feel safe and secure"
As a first time mom I was dreading leaving my baby in someone else’s care. The second I stepped inside My First Academy’s building I felt at home. I knew that the care I expected and felt my child needed was given there. The teacher in his classroom made me feel safe and secure that he was receiving the same love he does at home ❤️ Not only the staff is amazing they celebrate you as a family, from Mother’s Day, Birthdays, Father’s Day, accomplishments and more. I highly recommend them if you are looking for quality and a safe environment, you will not find any better than them.🥰"The whole staff is amazing"
I really could not ask for a better daycare to take my little man to! The whole staff is amazing and they take really great care of my baby. I know this because his entire face lights up every morning when he see's his teacher!! They keep me updated all day through their app - when he eats, has a diaper change, what artwork they did today, and when he play's outside. I'd love to be at home with him everyday, but since that isn't an option, I'm greatful that I have these wonderful people to care for my son."Their facility was so clean!"
Being a 1st time Mom was very hard for me to leave my son in any daycare. When I I found My First Academy I felt at ease that this was the right place for my son. Their facility was so clean, organize and very kid friendly. Also, I wasn't looking for just a daycare, I also was looking for a place for my son to learn and MFA also teaches the children everything related to their age and prepare them for Kindergarten."The teachers and staff are always so helpful"
MFA is a great learning center for kids. My daughter Laila has been attending MFA since she was just 2 years old. By the time I knew it she was already potty trained and her vocabulary had broadened up. She is now 4 and in the VPK class with Ms. Velez and Ms.Dani. The teachers and staff are always so helpful and always open for communication.The school is always clean and well organized. I highly recommend MFA to all parents looking for an awesome pre-school."He is always so happy going and coming from school"
First off I want to thank the entire staff at My First Academy for becoming JJ’s second family ! He is always so happy going and coming from school. Since being at MFA he has learned so much, also the teachers all keep me informed of everything he does and how he’s feeling. I am beyond happy with my decision with putting JJ there.

I called a couple months ago and although there was currently no space for my 2 year old the staff was super friendly over the phone and put me on a waiting list. The best thing is they made me feel very welcome and never sounded bothered for the many times i called to find out about the wait. When there was an opening they jept in touch with me im super excited to call them back this week and go and enroll my baby."We knew our precious angel was In great hands"
I can't even begin to express how grateful I am that My first Academy exists. When looking for a daycare to take care of my daughter, my wife and I were very nervous to leave our daughter anywhere. The staff and teachers at My First Academy immediately made us feel like family. We knew our precious angel was In great hands. My oldest is now in Kindergarten and is WAY ahead in her studies. She even helps the teacher teach some of the materials to the class and this is all due to the excellent teachers and staff at My First Academy!!"My son loves going to school everyday"
Ms.Martinez for the VPK group is such a pleasure! She has helped throughout it all to make sure Christian gets the attention that he needs to succeed . My son loves going to school everyday with no complaints.Staff are very supportive of each other and I love how hands on the directors are with the children of any age.Very family oriented and organized.

My 2 year old knows what a hexagon is! I trust that my son is always safe and cared for! Having that allows me the peace of mind I need to do my job every day!"I will recommend the school\daycare to anyone"
We started our daughter 2 years ago with My First Academy. We look many places and by a very far My First Academy was the best. They have everything you need for your kids.

I absolutely love My First Academy! As soon as I took a tour of the school I knew this was the school I wanted my child to attend! The staff is so warm and welcoming and the school is so neat and organized. My son has learned so much from the short time attending. Thank you so much for being so great at your jobs!"I wish all preschools would learn from them"
I've experienced My First Academy through my students. I've had a privilege of teaching students that have come from this school over the years and they are always high achieving students and come well prepared for Kindergarten. I wish all preschools would learn from them."She enjoyed and loved that place"
my daughter was there for about 3 years from vpk to after school on kindergarten and first grade, she enjoyed and loved that place and all the people she met there. Good things you don't forget, and she remember all of you."The staff genuinely cares about the kids"
The staff genuinely cares about the kids and make sure they feel welcome and part of the group.
