Our Story

Our company has been in business for over 25 years, servings thousands of families within that time. We are most proud of the fact that families have been able to change their trajectory with our services. We have had single parents and families complete their higher education goals, progress their careers, and establish a better life for their children. We have had children who started as toddlers in our program return to say hello and thank our team after graduating university!

What People Are Saying

“By far best decision I've made sending my daughter here. The staff was always so helpful and welcoming, they were attentive every step of the way. The teachers are all so caring, my daughter felt welcomed from the beginning. They definitely prepared her, giving her the knowledge to tackle the move to kindergarten. Thank you to everyone at Kids 1st…. I definitely recommend anyone and everyone to invest in their child's future and send them to Kids 1st!”

— Ryan R. via Yelp

“I've had a great experience at Kids 1st Learning Center. My caseworker has been so friendly and was really helpful with the whole enrollment process. My son really likes his teachers and has made lots of friends. I feel comfortable that he's in a safe environment and is learning a lot. I also like that his teacher has parent conferences with me to keep me informed on his progress. I would highly recommend this center to other parents as well.”

— Aja A. via Yelp

“My daughter went here for a year and a half. She is extremely shy and has a hard time adjusting to new environments. When she came to this learning center, her transition went a lot better than I expected. She developed such close bonds with all her teachers, and they made her feel comfortable and safe which is the most important thing for me. Thank you, Kids 1st, for making my daughter feel welcomed every day and preparing her for her future!”
