We Care About Your Child’s Early Education As Much As You Do

Our mission at Advantage Early Learning Academy is to provide families in our community with high-quality, developmentally appropriate child care in a safe, nurturing, and recreational setting. To prepare a child for the next stage of their development, we focus on stimulating their social, cognitive, physical, and emotional growth according to their age and ability.

Welcome to Advantage Early Learning Academy

At Advantage Early Learning Academy, we believe that creative learning is fundamental to the full development of human potential. It is our primary goal to create a safe, nurturing, and loving environment for each child. Once trust and security are established, children are more receptive to the full range of educational activities and learning experiences Advantage Early Learning Academies provides.

Each age group has its curriculum, daily schedule, and classroom environment. Under the guidance of passionate educators, we emphasize active learning, language development, and creative play.

We’re ready to care for your infant, toddler, preschooler, and/or school-ager. We hope that this journey is as exciting for you as it is for us!

Advantage ELA Testimonial

"As first-time parents, we had no experience with daycares. It was a challenge locating a place we felt would be close to home, be a safe environment for our child and care for our child. We have found so much more with Mr. Daryl and his team!"

"I think they do a wonderful job with my kids. They have had them since 2014. The kids like coming here. The staff is great, they help in any way they can. I’ve tried another center for a short period and I was not satisfied with the outcome. I brought them back here. I just wish they wouldn't close on every federal holiday. I love it here!"

Advantage ELA Testimonial

"This place has been a wonderful experience for the boys and me. We have used their childcare now for three or so years. Everyone on the staff I have come in contact with has been wonderful! Many have gone above and beyond their duties for the boys. The early childhood teaching has been awesome. I feel my oldest boy is perfectly prepared for kindergarten this year, successfully. Thanks to everyone who has worked toward preparing them.
