What Your Child Will Experience Here
A Fun, Social Environment
In addition to learning the fundamentals needed for success in school, our kids have a blast while they’re here! With play time, special events, and lots of chances to learn social skills, this is a great place to leave your children!
“Forest Hills Presbyterian Learning Center it’s the best learning center out there. The staff is super attentive and make sure that you are comfortable and that the kids are too. My oldest two went to this center and they loved every second they spent there and I will be sending my smallest one here as well.”
– Yadria Figueroa

Healthy, Delicious Meals
We take your child’s safety and health seriously, from the food to our stringent cleaning standards, your child will be as healthy as possible!
“”I love this school! The teachers communicate with you and tell you how your child is doing. My son loves his teachers. The last school we were at he was constantly sick. Since staring he has not been sick, not even once. He always wants to go to school. His teacher will text me to let me know how he is doing, even if he’s been acting up. If he gets hurt playing they immediately call or text me to let me know. He has learned so much as well. Love love love this place.”

Quality Equipment
Our play structures and playground equipment are wonderful additions to our oak tree shaded outdoor spaces and a fun way for kids to build up their skills and coordination. The size, height and complexity of structures are designed for three specific age groups.
Daycare & Preschool
There is increasing evidence that children benefit from preschool. At preschool children are exposed to numbers letters shapes and most important how to socialize. Getting along with other children is important to their development.
