Parent Reviews
We love Lion Academy! I appreciate that it’s Christian-based and offers flexible days and hours that work well with our schedule. From the moment you walk in, it feels so welcoming and truly like an extension of our family. My child never wants to leave when we pick them up, which says so much about the caring, fun, and safe environment they provide. The director and teachers not only care deeply about our child, but about our whole family as well. We would highly recommend Lion Academy to any family looking for a nurturing and supportive place for their child.
I am so happy that my one-and-a-half-year-old daughter attends Lion Academy Daycare. They have taught her so much—I am truly amazed—and the care they provide my daughter is exceptional. Thank you all, for teaching her and loving her so much! ❤️❤️
I thank God every single day for Lion Academy! When initially looking for childcare, I was so stressed and worried about leaving my daughter in the care of someone else, Lion Academy completely changed my mindset on that. The director, The Classrooms, the teachers, and everything in between were so comforting and welcoming. My daughter absolutely loves going Every day and they take such good care of her. I love that they give me updates throughout the day on the app and how professional, but also personal they have made our experience. Thanks to all the gals at lion academy, you all rock!!! ❤️
Thank you so much for those kind words! it’s a joy to see that sweet girl walk through our doors every morning! We know how stressful that initial search for childcare can be, so knowing we were able to provide your family with peace of mind means the world to our team. We absolutely love caring for her and watching her grow every day. Thank you for trusting us with your little one!
Lion Academy has been the best daycare and preschool I’ve had the opportunity for my kids to attend. I always know my babies are happy, healthy, safe, and LOVED. Lion Academy is excellent with communication, and they keep me updated throughout the day. The teachers are extremely informative and always have upbeat, positive attitudes. They share the curriculum with us parents as well, which includes daily music, language & literacy, STEAM activities, and physical development. The director, Julie Hessheimer, has been such a blessing to our family. She frequently shares resources with parents and is always ready to lend a helping hand. She ensures my babies, and every student here, is receiving exactly what they need socially, developmentally and emotionally. Thank you Lion Academy!
We've been enrolled for a few months. My children like the teachers, activities, and center. The Director is very knowledgeable, and involved in the day to day. I was a little apprehensive because it is located in a church, and we are not religious. I haven't noticed any proselytizing or pushing of beliefs onto my children. Which was something I was worried about. I highly recommend this daycare!
I recently enrolled my child in Lion Academy and couldn't be happier. The spacious, well-equipped facilities immediately caught my eye. The rooms are large and designed to accommodate various activities, ensuring ample space for exploration and play. The environment is colorful and cheerful, creating a stimulating atmosphere. One of the standout features is the cute outdoor play area, perfect for burning off energy and enjoying the fresh air. It's safe, secure, and filled with fun toys and games. The friendly staff truly make Lion Academy exceptional. They are warm, welcoming, and genuinely care about each child's well-being. Their dedication and enthusiasm are evident in their interactions with the kids, giving me peace of mind. Overall, Lion Academy is a fantastic choice for any parent. The combination of spacious, well-equipped rooms, a colorful setting, a delightful outdoor play area, and a caring team makes it a top-notch daycare. Highly recommended!
This place is amazing my kids come home happy everyday and they love going. They like the cool activities that they get to do.
This place is amazing the girls love it and they are always so happy
This is one of the best child care places we have ever been my kids love coming and learning with the amazing teachers you have.
We know your girls have attended many other schools and we're thrilled that you've chosen us to care for your sweet girls! We are loving seeing them grow and thrive in our program.
My husband and I have had our children enrolled in Lion Academy since 2021, and have had a wonderful experience. We moved from Texas and were looking for a religious preschool, and we have loved it. Our children talk about the letters they are learning in school and share fun stories about their day. They tell us about the Bible stories, and have put on fun Christmas programs. Lion Academy always has family activities going on with the church it is attached to, which has given us community as well as education. I can without a doubt say that the teachers at Lion Academy care deeply for my children. They communicate the wins and challenges my children face, and address any issues head-on. They are certified and love what they do, taking care to build a relationship with each child. Thank you Lion Academy!
Lori, We have truly enjoyed your children, and thank you for the opportunity to teach, play, and care for each of your three children. you have an amazing familiy
