What Parents Think
We started going to Little JEMS Children’s Center in November of 2021. We left our prior daycare facility to choose them. We have never looked back or second guessed our decision. Not only are we happy with the school, but our children are also happy as well. We see it in their eyes and especially our son’s mood when he comes home. The teachers are great and very passionate for what they do. The communication we have is top-notch and never are we left behind with our children’s vast improvements. We highly recommend Little JEMS to anyone looking for somewhere to send their children.

My husband and I are AMAZED at Caden’s progress and what he’s learning. He is questioning us on the solar system. Your school has exceeded my expectations and I seriously couldn’t be happier that he goes there.
Rosemarie
Great place to be. My child attends the center during the summer and loves it! He can't wait to go to school. The teachers fill his day with activities such as, swimming, movies, plays, golf, bowling and the list goes on. I wish he was excited about school during the school year! The program makes for a fun summer. He even has a reading program that all children 6 years and up are required to do. They believe in keeping up childrens skill during the summer as well as during the school year. STAFF is wonderful plus they have all been there for years. No turnover here. Director is very helpful and will help you with any thing that you need. ENJOY this center. We do!!!!!!!
