I have raised seven children and still am raising children. I have seen my share of daycares and schools. I will tell you I was worried at first of I was making the right decision for my child over two years ago when I enrolled him for Alford and Ashe. It was the best decision I ever made my child has learned a lot not only academically but also social skills,manners,and how to control his emotions. He loves Mrs. Wanda he made a strong connection with her and she made him feel special. He will be leaving and graduating from Vpk to go to kindergarten I couldn't of found a better school and teachers to prepare him for his future. Highly recommend.

I have nothing but great things to say about this school. My son started going here last year and has learned so much. The daily updates on the mobile app are a great way to see what my child is currently learning. The owner of the school is amazing along side the teachers. They are interactive and determined to teach the children. I would recommend any parent to enroll their child at Alford and Ashe academy !

This daycare is the best daycare in the world. They are so kind and loving to my children. All four of my girls go here between 1 and 8. They absolutely love it here. My antisocial 1 and 2 year old literally jump out of my arms to go to the staff and to Ms Ashe.  They focus on education and are genuinely concerned about the well being of our children.I believe it is every parents dream to know that when they drop off there kids that they know they are well taken care of. Thank you all so much for what you do to make my ladies feel just as loved as I do. Forever grateful for this daycare.

Absolutely the worst place the owner belittles the children she's rude to the staff rude to the parents my child came home with four different bite marks on his back and two on his arm I understand kids bite but four times ? She refused to change his diaper because she felt he was too big for them but also wouldn't take him to the restroom so he sat in there all day in his own feces do not send your children here

Really bad idea to post the babies on TikTok and YouTube! Will not bring my child somewhere with ZERO privacy!!!

***It is sad that you defend posting kids on social media. You should
Research the dangers of children and posting their location and their likeness for predators to find!!. Then your reply to my concern with an attitude says a lot. Your school is definitely not for me.  I urge parents to put their kids in a place that will prioritize their children’s privacy over popularity.
