Reviews From Parents
"Our little family of five has participated in four different childcare centers over the years across the United States. We can say with ease that OCC Early Learning Center stands head and shoulders above them all. OCC ELC offers attentive, high-quality care to each of our three children (a four-year-old, a three-year-old, and a nine-month-old). Each classroom teacher creates an annual, engaging curriculum that exceeds our expectations. In the hands of these educators, we feel confident that our kids are surpassing learning goals in preparation for primary school. All staff members model professionalism, industry expertise, and genuine love for the little lives with which we entrust them. OCC ELC is a space that is always safe, fun, and caring. We cannot recommend it enough!"

"Having our daughter be a part of the OCC Early Learning Center has been one of the best decisions we have made, and we would make it over and over again! Every staff member is inviting, professional, and clearly dedicated to their work. Whenever we drop her off, we know that she is not only in safe hands but is with people who know and care about her as an individual and are committed to seeing her thrive in every aspect of development. Before OCC, when I pictured child care, I only really pictured having her basic needs met, but she gets so much more from her teachers in the early learning program. She has grown in many areas during her time in the infant and toddler rooms ... from fine & gross motor skills to learning how to share, clean up, and interact with peers. Dropping her off in the mornings and knowing she is somewhere that she is known, valued, and poured into is one of the greatest gifts as a parent."

"At OCC Early Learning Center, Elisa and Kim, the directors, are just awesome! They're always there when you need them, with their door wide open for any questions or chats. Whether it's about enrolling our little ones or figuring out the best next steps for their development, Elisa and Kim are super flexible and full of helpful advice. And they're not just all business; they've even shared snacks and good vibes with me when I needed a pick-me-up. They've got tons of experience and knowledge, but what really stands out is how down-to-earth and understanding they are. It's an absolute comfort knowing they've got our back every step of the way."

"OCC Early Learning Center is a really nice school with caring teachers! My daughter had a very hard time in the beginning, but Ms. Melissa and Ms. Vickie were very patient with her and helped her get through the transition. I really appreciate their help, and now she’s having a great time at school."

"We couldn't be happier with our decision to enroll our one-year-old and two-year-old daughters at OCC Early Learning Center. The care and dedication of the teachers have made it a truly exceptional experience for our family.
The teachers at OCC are not only caring and patient, but they also possess an incredible understanding of each child's unique needs. It's evident that they have a wealth of expertise in handling everything from nap time routines to addressing tantrums with the utmost care. Their ability to ease separation anxiety has been a game-changer for our little ones.
One of the standout features of OCC is the level of communication and collaboration with parents. We appreciate the timely and detailed feedback we receive, and the teachers are always willing to work closely with us to support the developmental milestones of our kids. The reasonable tuition, especially in comparison to other centers, is an added bonus.
The facility itself is well-equipped with an indoor play area, gym, outdoor playground, and a front lawn, providing ample space for various activities. Each room is thoughtfully filled with age-appropriate books and toys that cater to different skills, ensuring a well-rounded learning environment.
Our kids are particularly fond of the creative art projects, and the joy they find in dancing to fun songs with their classmates and teachers is priceless. And let's not forget the tasty snacks – the "sweet potato fries" are a highlight, and we might consider enrolling ourselves just for those!
OCC Early Learning Center has exceeded our expectations in providing a nurturing and enriching environment for our daughters. We wholeheartedly recommend it to other parents seeking a daycare/preschool center that goes above and beyond in fostering the growth and happiness of their little ones."
