As a young parent with my first child, trusting someone else with your baby is one of the hardest and most emotional decisions you can make. My daughter just turned 3 and has been enrolled at The Pillars Christian Learning Center since September, and the change in her has been truly life-changing for both of us. Before coming to The Pillars, she spent almost a year at another daycare where there was very little growth. Over time, I watched my happy little girl become more aggressive, very moody, and honestly not herself anymore. I knew something wasn’t right, and when nothing was being done to help her, I made the difficult decision to leave and find better for her. Finding The Pillars was the best decision I could have made. Since starting here, my daughter has completely blossomed. Her speech has improved tremendously—she’s expressing herself more clearly and confidently. Her social skills have grown so much; she’s kinder, more patient, and more comfortable interacting with others. Even her manners and emotional regulation have improved in ways I didn’t think were possible in such a short amount of time. Most importantly, she’s happy again. She’s excited to go to school, excited to see her teachers, and excited to learn. Her teacher is one of the most caring, compassionate, and wonderful women I have ever met, and that care extends to every single member of the staff. From teachers to administration, this center truly feels like a family. From day one, we were welcomed with open arms and genuine love—not just as another enrollment, but as people who matter. The administrative staff has been absolutely incredible: supportive, communicative, and deeply invested in my daughter’s well-being. The communication is top-tier, my daughter is always greeted with warmth and smiles, and I have complete peace of mind knowing she is loved, safe, and cared for every single day. I am endlessly grateful to The Pillars Christian Learning Center for not only helping my daughter grow and thrive, but for making our lives fuller with the love, patience, and dedication they pour into what they do. I truly cannot express how thankful I am to have found this place—for my daughter and for myself.

My kids (4, 8, and 10) have been going here since my oldest was a baby. I love nikkie and the office staff. My son has meltdowns and they can calm him like no other. They go above and beyond to make sure the kids always have fun activities and events the parents are invited to.

The staff and teachers who we have dealt with on a daily bases for the last two years have been wonderful. The school has gone through a transition recently and with all the changes happening the director and the staff have been doing their best to keep the day to day running smooth for all their students. I have a one year old and a three year old who adore their teachers and enjoy their days at school. Their teachers love them like they are one of their own children. I appreciate the people at Chiesa and I am grateful that they are part of my children’s early years!
