Wonder What Parents are Saying About Excellence...

"Excellence early learning center is hands down the best daycare in the metroplex. The staff is friendly and looks to build relationships with the parents and their children. This gives you great peace of mind that your child is and will continue be properly cared for when under the supervision of their team. They plan activities all throughout the day including science experiments, playing outside, and teaching the alphabet. They also send pictures of your child playing throughout the day which I really like. My daughter loves the daycare and the friends she has made there so much she isn't even ready to come home when I come pick her up. Picking a daycare is very difficult but excellence early learning center made it easy!"
"After an exhausting search for a “daycare” in the DFW area for my 2 month old, I chose Excellence Early learning center and haven’t regretted it since. I feel that my daughter is well taken care of daily. I LOVE that I’m able to receive pictures/videos and updates throughout the day of what my daughter is doing/learning all day— definitely makes my day. Ms. Aminah is very understanding and really makes an effort to engage the kids and develop them in a very individualized way. Whenever I have a concern she ALWAYS listens and gives me great tips on what I can try (being a first time mom). I will always recommend EELC"
"When we moved to the HEB area over the summer my #1 worry was finding quality childcare for my 3 year old. Excellence ELC has exceeded ALL of my expectations! My son is actually excited to go to “school” & most days doesn’t want to leave when I pick him up. I love that they follow an actual lesson plan. They have a “cafeteria” menu so that we know what our child eats each day, & my most favorite thing is that she sends pictures and videos throughout the day to let you know how your child is doing. Our family is so blessed to have found Aminah"

I am VERY pleased with EELC! My 2 yr old son loves going and I can already see an improvement in his social skills and language development. I love the fact that Mrs. Aminah pays attention to each child’s individual learning needs. She also sends awesome pics/vids and updates throughout the day so I know when he has napped, ate and potty. I am glad to have found such a great fit for my son and I plan on keeping him here until life says otherwise!

I was lucky to find Excellence Early Learning Center at a time when I needed to make arrangements for my early school-age daughter. This home environment has been a perfect fit for us.  Although she is aimed at younger children, Ms. Aminah was able to engage my daughter in many age-appropriate activities that she both loved and learned through.  I quickly felt very comfortable leaving my daughter at this center and allowed her to continue her enrollment even after our childcare need was no longer necessary.  I find Ms. Aminah to be easy to work with and communicate with.  The app that she uses to post daily updates and pictures is helpful in keeping me informed on how my child’s day went. I look forward to continuing at this location for our future childcare needs.
