Premier Learning Academy, Chandler AZ

We were with PLA for five years and two children and could not have been happier with the experience. Both of our children are now excelling in elementary school and we receive regular, positive comments from their teachers about how well-prepared they are/were both academically and socially. All of the teachers, caregivers, and leadership team at PLA are all exceptional. PLA strikes a wonderful balance of being loving and nurturing while also being professional. They go well above and beyond the standards for safety, communication, cleanliness, and technology and it is obvious that they are always striving to improve. We love PLA!

Spring 2019 I toured 15 pre-schools (not an exaggeration) throughout the East valley and a couple in the Phoenix area. I was rather disheartened, the second to last school was PLA. It was a breath of fresh air!

Sending your child to pre-school can be emotionally daunting. As parents we do our best to ensure they are left in good hands and a safe environment where they can learn and socialize.

This isn’t JUST a pre-school, it IS family. PLA invests in their teachers and the teachers are truly devoted to their students. From my experience, PLA blends play, STEAM, highscope and Montessori methods. They provide Yoga time, gym time with a toddler sized rock climbing wall, water days, fun dress up days, tasty lunches, station type learning, holiday events and programs, PARENT’S NIGHT OUT and sooo much more! PLA is a magical place I wish I could have attended as a toddler!

I commend PLA for the communication and fast acting safety protocols during COVID. They were open the entire time due to their diligence. Because of it, we were able to keep our child’s life “normal” during some rather chaotic years. Unfortunately, some wonderful teachers left during this time to be with their families and some moved to the second PLA location in Queen Creek. PLA didn’t skip a beat in finding more amazing dedicated teachers.

PLA has created a beautiful community that is a foundation for our future generations.

Ms. Danielle, Ms. Camilla, Ms. Kelsey, Ms. McKenna, Mrs. Esther, Mrs. Janet, Ms. Mikayla, Mrs. Stacey, Mrs. Elana, Mrs. Leora, Mrs. Amanda, Mrs. Mickenzie, Ms. T and Ms. Delilah (I can’t forget the ones that left Mrs. Linny, Mrs. Bri and Mrs. Tori) THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart for being part of our family and making such an incredible impact on my child’s life. I truly cannot express the gratitude in my heart. My child knows every one of you by name and so many stories are brought home daily.

Our journey has ended, but my child will certainly soar thanks to PLA!

My daughter just finished pre-k this summer. I'm so grateful for the teachers' love and support for my daughter during her 2 years stay here. Every teacher and staff is welcoming and friendly. It used to be a struggle to send my daughter to school every morning before she came to PLA. We have changed different schools and she would always cry, but she's been very happy since the first day in PLA. Mrs. Danielle is an amazing teacher! She has taught knowledge and manner in a nice and effective way. My daughter loves her so much. I would strongly recommend PLA to all parents!

It has been such a perfect preschool for Kyra. Last year when we got her enrolled in PLA, I was really stressing out as Kyra had delayed speech and she was really lacking in her fine and gross motor skills. Her previous play schools did not make much difference in helping her out and getting her engaged in the class and making friends. Here at PLA, she bloomed and made a huge progress in achieving her milestones. She made some new friends and her fine motor skills developed. When she started she didn’t know how to hold the pen or how to to use scissors. Ms Danielle sat down with her amd worked with her. I’ll forever be grateful of her. It was her hardwork and her persistence that helped Kyra tremendously. Ms Danielle went extra mile and created a workbook for Kyra to practice daily at home. Weekly assignments that Ms Danielle gave also made a huge difference. I am eternally grateful of Ms Danielle and PLA for helping my child to get her ready for Kindergarten this year. It was really impossible without her help and intervention she took. Thank you Ms Danielle and PLA for all your help! I really appreciate from the bottom of my heart! I can proudly say that I made a right call sending my child to PLA. It is the best preschool in East Valley.

Our daughter has been enjoying her time at PLA since March 2020. She absolutely loves her teachers. We like the spacious and clean classrooms at PLA. People say that kids always get sick when they first start going to daycare. Our daughter has barely got sick since the beginning and we think PLA does a great job with their sick policy and we are very grateful for that.

PLA has been life changing for our family. After two years of staying home with grandparents we were concerned about the transition of going back to school. PLA, Ms. Esther, Ms. Camilla, Ms. Stacey and more made that experience a wonderful one. We feel confident leaving our 2 and 5 year olds in the comforting and supportive hands of the staff at PLA. I couldn't imagine going anywhere else. Thank you, PLA!

PLA is more than a school, since the 1st day we truly believe in how prepared they are for this hard work, for us is our extended family.
Every teacher, program and class is really amazing and we are very grateful with them for everything.
A plus is they have incredible people like Ms Danielle, she help us a lot since the beginning for the transition between Spanish to English but now our daughter is bilingual.
This year we are so excited because the advantage in what is coming is awesome, related math, skills, writing, reading but most important personal part is just the result of Ms Esther.

Thank you to all the Staff, food is also great and in anything when we were needing help you have a hand for us.

PLA staff is amazing, our daughter is finishing PreK this year, we arrived on 2020 to Az we got big support from all in her Spanish - English learning process, we haven't had any complain.there are a open communication with the teachers, my daughter loves them!

Would not send my kiddo anywhere else! Clean, welcoming, and organized environment. Excellent parent-teacher communication with a top notch curriculum. So grateful for PLA!

PLA was a life saver. We relocated from Nashville TN and left a fantastic childcare facility. When we first moved we attended another facility and it was horrendous. Our once happy child was crying and every drop off was traumatic. Enter PLA. They were recommended by a colleague who had sent his 3 children there over the years. WOW. We did a tour with Linny. Our daughter loved her trial day on the Friday so much we had her starting there on the Monday. Stacey got us enrolled and set up and helped us every step of the way as we transitioned. Our daughter was three and we have never looked back. She is now graduating and starting Kinder this fall. Ms Dominuque has been a true gem. Our daughter is so prepared and happy and it is thanks to her! With 2020 being such a difficult year PLA adapted to be there for their students and the parents. They were creative and always put the children first. There was so much transparency and clear communication with the families. I truly cannot express my gratitude to our PLA family. They have gone above and beyond and genuinely foster an environment that allows the children to learn and grown but it underpinned with great care, consideration and love. You will not find a better place to send your child!

My son loved attending Premier Learning Academy. All of the staff and teachers are so welcoming and kind. My son still talks about this school and I couldn’t be more thankful for all that they do!

PLA has been great for our Little girl. A true blessing since we moved to Chandler 2 years ago. She is happy, outgoing and confident due much to the help of PLA and there wonderful (and patient) teachers.thanks so much!

My son's been at PLA since he turned 2.we are soooo sad to leave it to go to kinder! It has been such a pleasure and a privilege to be part of the PLA family and we are eternally grateful for all the amazing knowledge they've instilled in our little one- he has learned more than we could have ever hoped for. The ladies at PLA truly love your kids, and are cognizant of their needs and adapt to your child's needs and level, placing them with the appropriate teacher most compatible to their personality and skills. Most importantly, they are lightyears ahead of every other daycare/preschool out there in the level of education they give these kids-PLA has. We could have never dreamed our son to be at the high-level of abilities in his education prior to Kinder. We will miss it terribly!

After 4 different pre schools we found PLA and it is the perfect fit for us. Every single employee at PLA goes above and beyond and I am so sad that we only discovered PLA when our son was already 4. Our son has been here for a little under a year and has learned so much, not to mention he never wants to leave when I pick him up.

Shop around. You'll see and feel the difference. This place is leaps ahead of other child care centers. Amazing facility

Our 2.5 yr old loves to go to PLA. We find the teachers always happy and have genuine interaction with the kids. We have daily interaction with Ms Tasha and Ms Tori, and they are just so wonderful. Ms Amanda at the front desk and all the staff are just wonderful.
Gland we made the right choice for our child.

Our son loves going to Premier learning Academy. The second we did the tour he didn’t want to leave and wanted to start right away. Ever since then he has a blast. He found friends right away and has learned so much already. He is always so excited to go and is so proud to show us what he has learned at the end of the day. You can really tell that he has fun while he learns his numbers, the alphabet and seasonal things. They do awesome crafting activities and also other fun physical activities like yoga. They do an amazing job and the staff is so nice, friendly and considered. They always keep us parents in the loop which I really appreciate.
