  • "My nephew has loved going to the center for afterschool and the summer program! He has learned so much this year and progressed in the first grade with so much knowledge he didn’t have before! The teachers go above and beyond to make sure they are teaching what is being taught in each grade! Not only do they teach academics but Mrs. Cooley teaches them about God and how to have a spiritual walk with him! Every aspect about the center is well planned and safe. I’m so thankful for the center and all they do for our community!"
