Such a wonderful after-school program! My daughter loves going and always has a great time. The staff is kind, the environment is safe, and you can tell they really care. Miss Debrah is very kind and accommodating. Feels like family!

My son participated in their summer program and will be starting VPK this month. The staff is phenomenal, always prompt in answering questions and I know my child is well provided and taken care of at this learning center. The teachers are wonderful, my child has adjusted well and I’m very excited to start the vpk year. I have been provided with all information and again the communication is always clear and prompt. I highly suggest this learning center for any family interested in putting their children in daycare or vpk preschool.

From the very first day, I knew FHPLC was the place for my little one. She enjoys going to school and learning. And her teacher Mrs. Marie does an amazing job! She’s so patient, nurturing, kind and her teaching style is the best!!! Thanks Mrs. Marie & FHPLC for being a positive experience for the start of my little one’s learning journey!

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 starting 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.

My daughter is now 4 and she has learned so much in the past year and I thank her teachers for it. Each staff member is absolutely amazing at what they do and the directors are extremely accommodating.

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.
