Joyful Praise Academy

Excellent care! I currently have two children enrolled in the after school program they offer and they love it. They are family oriented and very loving. I would recommend this center to anyone. They are also Christian based, which is a plus for me. The teachers are always attentive to me and my children's needs. They always ask me how my day was. Always very kind. I wish I could give 10 stars

Ms. Carmen is a great educator and has a beautiful way with kids. My daughter Aamira absolutely loves she and Ms. Holder. The kids in the 3/4 yr old class are well disciplined and educated. Mrs. Ieshia I think is a very fair woman; her fees are very competitive for the area. Dare I say cheap compared to whats received by the children. My daughter is ahead of the kids in the school she is in now. I think the business practices are fair and the learning is superior. As far as Shawanda; she runs the day to day operation. While I don't know her personally; she is the reason for my withdrawal. She could stand to brush up a lot on her attitude, people skills, and professionalism. I'd like to say again that the teaching is empeqible. In fact this school could easily compete with some of the larger and more expensive franchise's. I didn't write this review to be insulting to Shawanda; it's quite the opposite. I really believe that this school has something special created by Mrs. Ieshia's dream and I know with her smarts she could expand even more. I wish for all of you great success!

The Teachers and Support Staff were great with my two children, unfortunately, the billing personnel, Ms.Chawanda, has some not so nice billing practices. She told me on a Friday evening I had to pay $500 in back payments or else don't bring my children the following Monday. When I asked her to provide supporting documentation, she informed myself and my fiancee she didn't have to. She graciously took it upon herself to have the Sheriff's office come to my job and upgraded the $500 to over $1,000. I haven't yet received any supporting documents. If you like this kind of unprofessionalism and drama then by all means - sign up.

When I first registered i was very unsure if the center would be a good fit for my two children. At that time center was new and this would make the third daycare that my family had tried in the last year. Now that my children have been there over 1.5yrs I could not be happier with the daycare. Sure there's things that I can do without but overall its a good program. The kids have meals, dance, karate, and chapel included in my one weekly fee. I have referred half of my co-workers lol!!!
