Destiny Learning Center

The teachers and staff are amazing! My daughter was a bit delayed with walking and they worked great with Early Steps to get my daughter where she needs to be. They were all so proud with us. My daughter graduated Early Steps (which apparently rarely happens) and we couldn’t be more grateful for Early Steps and Destiny’s wonderful staff!

Destiny learning center takes great care of my daughter in the 3 year old room. Mrs Bri treats her like she is her own. My daughter loves her school and comes home happy. The support staff are all very helpful as well and all interact and help with our babies. Thank you for loving our daughter and taking care of her while we work. I don't ever have to worry while she is there because I know she is in great hands!

Destiny Learning Center has been an instrumental part of my son's early education journey since he was 3 years old. As a parent, witnessing his growth and development over these formative years has been truly remarkable. The center has provided a nurturing environment where he learns something new every day, preparing him exceptionally well for kindergarten at the age of 5. I am deeply grateful to Ms. Rachel, Raquel, Emily, Nancy, KK, Jenifer, and all the amazing teachers at Destiny Learning Center. Their dedication, patience, and expertise have played a pivotal role in my son's progress. Each of them has contributed uniquely to his educational and personal growth, and I can't thank them enough for their tireless efforts. As my son moves on to the next chapter of his educational journey, I will undoubtedly miss these incredible women who have become not just teachers, but mentors and role models. Destiny Learning Center has been more than just a school; it's been a second home where my son has thrived under their care. Thank you, You have made a lasting impact on our lives, and we are forever grateful.

My daughter has been going to Destiny since she was 7 weeks old (she’s 2 now). She has been at both the old location as well as the new location. We have been very pleased with our experience and our daughter loves going to school every morning! The staff are caring and I know they are doing their best to care for my daughter and all the students! I would highly recommend to anyone!!

I am writing this review as a mother of a young boy with a lot of energy. If your child is the type who struggles to sit still for long periods of time, this review will definitely be relevant to you. My son has a lot of energy and definitely loves attention to be on him. This is something I brought up with the staff at Destiny Learning Center before ever officially enrolling him. They said they had multiple teachers in each classroom and that it was “no problem”. I was encouraged and excited to enroll him. 3 weeks after they took my enrollment fees and locked me into a contract, my son had 5 write-ups within 3 days. It was beyond obvious they were pushing him out. I had noticed over the 3 weeks that he actively attended this school that his behavior at home was changing. He was becoming more agitated and defiant. I chalked it up to his age and the stress of moving schools, but after his first day of write ups, I asked why he was struggling to pay attention in class and he told me it was because he had a bully and that the teachers didn’t like him (heartbreaking that a child would be made to think any such thing). I brought the bullying up to his teacher the next morning and she audibly scoffed. My mama heart broke at that and he expressed frustration that no one believed him. The next day he received 2 more write ups and he began telling me that no one liked him and adults hate him (things he had NEVER said before) so I decided to pull him out of class for some counseling. It was also recommended that I have him assessed for ADHD. At this point I was still thinking that maybe my son was the issue. 3 weeks away from the school and he improved all the way back to what I’d consider his baseline. His self esteem returned. He was found to NOT have ADHD and was determined to be a completely normal and healthy 5 year old with typical levels of energy and ability to concentrate. It was noticed, however, that if he feels disrespected or devalued, it’s very triggering for him. His counselor mentioned that this would be a trigger because of experiences he would have already had to have experienced and so I should watch for situations that are triggering him. We returned to Destiny after those 3 weeks. On the first day there, I WITNESSED him being bullied by a boy who immediately began telling him he was a “bad boy”. He taunted him in the recess line IN FRONT OF ME. What really infuriated me was that this boy also said “you were kicked out of school for being bad”. The only way he would know this is if an ADULT said it either to or in front of him. Either way, completely unprofessional and disgusting. This little boy was also not disciplined at all. He received no “incident reports” or time outs even though my child was written up for: “swinging his water bottle in the lunch line and hitting a girl in the head” (it was determined and they admitted it was an accident on his part), “refusing to sit still during circle time” (he’s 5), “trying to sword fight another little boy with a piece of paper he rolled up (this is LITERALLY play as he had become very into knights recently). It was INSANE to me the things he was written up and told he was naughty for! There were no reports of him misbehaving that first day back, but I did notice he was acting up at home. I began thinking the school is actually the issue, but I decided to give it one more day. I regret that decision profoundly. That day I was called and told he was acting up so I went and picked him up. He had full-on meltdowns that evening. He once again was saying everyone hates him and that adults hate him. He told me he wanted to kill himself. He’s 5 years old and the treatment he received at this “learning center” made him have those big of feelings. I cannot express to you the guilt I felt in that moment for ever doubting my son and then taking him back to that horrible place. I saw the expressions on his teacher’s faces whenever we would arrive. I felt the energy. And I mostly ignored it. Shame on me. Shame on them. Please, stay away and keep your children safe.
