Testimonials

On 8/4/2026 Kimberly Groves had this to say:
Young Hearts has been a part of our family for 6 years! I do not have one complaint when it comes to this establishment. The staff is reliable, caring, and beyond qualified! My children have learned sign language, Spanish, among countless other lessons and life skills. I cannot thank the staff enough for being so caring, considerate, and their communication with the parents is top tier. My favorite part of every day was being greeted by Mr. Durale! When we first came to Young Hearts we were sad and scared from previous babysitting experiences. The only relief I have experienced as a parent was during our duration at Young Hearts. Now as we leave we feel sad and scared to break the embrace from Young Hearts family. Attached is a picture of us smiling through our tears as we say goodbye. We love Young Hearts! There are no words or acts of appreciation that come close to how much my family loved and appreciated our time together. Young Hearts is a a safe, clean, and positive environment that any child deserves to experience. We were blessed to be a part of it for as long as we could and are excited that now another child will get to be part of the Young Hearts family.

This school is so amazing for my 3yr old. He has come so far in just the first year of being here. I couldn't ask for a better place for my son to be. They actually care about everyone and make you feel loved. I would definitely recommend any child to go here. ❤

Young Hearts Academy is hands down the best place to send your children. They give the best care and my daughter is only two and comes home with new skills every week. She’s doing sign language, Spanish, numbers and even reading sight words. It is a relief to me to be able to go to work and not have to worry about a thing. You don’t just feel like a client but rather as family. The staff shows the kids so much love and they always do something fun for the kids whether it’s a party, water day, movies or even having ice cream and snow cone trucks come to the schools. And best of all they teach the kids about Jesus. Young Hearts Academy is the best!

On 3/31/2021 Mariah Cannon had this to say:
Young Hearts Academy is by far the best childcare/learning center. The staff is very welcoming and informative and the hours are perfect 6am - 6pm. Spanish is my daughters favorite thing to learn. I recommend everybody with school age children. They even have a summer program open to K-12.
