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 !
Latisha Graham2024-03-12This 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.
