This place makes no sense. My son came home telling me that they teachers told them they can’t bring food from their own house. And the reasoning for that is was “ if they get sick it isn’t their fault”. Think Spring Valley ELA, THINK. A child has a higher chance of getting sick from the school food than their own food. I would like to see some changes.

This center is absolutely amazing. My niece and nephew attend the after school program here and they love it. I love seeing the teachers on the playground actually playing with the kids and not just standing around. The director and the assistant for are always there and always responds to my needs in a timely manner. I highly recommend this center to anyone who is looking for a great after school program!

I made the mistake of not reading these reviews before I enrolled my child here a year ago. Two months ago, I withdrew him from there, and the last straw reason why (among many) was because they called me at 3:45 PM saying that he had a fever on a Friday. I sent my older son there to pick him up, and took his temperature and it was 98 .7°... That was his lady day there.A few weeks before that, they had painted the building did nothing to air it out. I was there on a Tuesday and the fumes were so strong that I had a headache and I was forced to take my child with me when I left. The teachers obviously bully each other and the more experienced staff end up quitting. One day I picked myself up in the evening and there were 15 children in the room with him being one of the smallest and older kids running around him with their feet inches away from his little fingers. I had constant issues with one of the teachers repeatedly giving him milk which I had specifically requested be withheld because of his allergies. Since they kept giving it to him, his nose ran nonstop for almost 4 months. The playground is in desperate need of repair, another parent tripped over a huge break in the sidewalk and fell on top of her child right in front of me.

Customer service is under par, might as well have a toddler running the place and you will have a better experience. When buying your diapers, wipes, and clothes make sure you buy enough because they have a sharing policy no one informs you about. You only find out about said policy until a week later when your child is out of supplies that should have lasted two weeks. Ohhh and make sure you keep up with the most recent virus and illness because they aren’t clean enough to keep your children safe from getting sick. BASICALLY DONT LET YOUR CHILDREN GO THERE!

Poorly maintained building, terrible management ,and a inconsistent environment, stemming from the high turnover rate of daycare teachers there makes this daycare a terrible choice. The center is unorganized, dishonest about menus(saying they give whole grain bread , when its really just white). The menu they show you is not what they serve your kids. Because of the high turnover rate the center is consistently out of ratio. Teachers are not accountable, or aware. If your child suffers an injury you will not receive an accident report. Current director is literally the worst person for the job. Please avoid for your childs sake. There are much better centers within a mile of this location, so do you and your child a favor and skip this daycare.

Yes, the previous reviews are telling the TRUTH!!! Spring Valley Early Learning Academy is constantly out of ratio, lack of supervision, teachers come and go, and the children are bounced around from class room to class room. the few times my child was hurt at Spring Valley Learning Academy, the teacher never could account for the incident. I urge parents to find another child care facility.

DO NOT SEND YOUR CHILD TO THIS DAYCARE I REPEAT DO NOT SEND YOUR CHILD TO THIS DAYCARE today was my child first day to this daycare I dropped him off at 10a.m when the two year olds go outside I get a call at 5p.m saying that my child was bit on the nose by another 2year old when there where outside playing...n the the director said she clean and put ointment on it. I rushed there to get my child when I see him his whole nose is busted, cut, swollen, red and purple n bleeding along with other bruises on his face I called police n rushed my son to the hospital. Doctors said the bruise on his nose doesnt look like a bite mark. N the bruises is not adding up. My son looks like he was attacked by an animal these bruises are going to stay with him his whole life his face is scratched up. I am reporting this daycare to everywhere i can and I suggest u NEVER SEND YOUR CHILD HERE. I never do reviews but I have to warn others please listen.

I cant agree with these more....I would NOT recommend my neighbors dog to this daycare. They are very unprofessional and under staffed. I know my kid doesnt like it amd Im working on moving him ASAP. This daycare have too leads and not enough followers. The director is dumb and doesnt know anything, shes unprofessional and young minded. Who let a child cry long periods of time knowing they hungry....SMH but you got the nerve to try to be a director. Then have some of the other teachers following her up as if shes right. Theres only one greattttt teacher there and thats little Ms Tiffany....she deserves a better working facility herself. So from me to you.... KEEP YOUR KIDS AWAY FROM SPRING VALLEY EARLY LEARNING ACADEMY UNTIL THEY FIND MORE EXPERIENCED LEAD PEOPLE!!!!
