EPLC is the best kept secret for PreK! My two boys went here since they were 3 months old and they were so prepared for kindergarten! They already knew how to do some of the items from kindergarten where they were able to have more stretch goals. They loved the teachers and staff and always wanted to go back to say hi! I highly recommend this place!

I am so thankful we found EPLC when we did! Our current in-home daycare was closing and we were searching for somewhere to send our youngest. They were quick in getting back to me once I applied and they were thankfully able to offer us a spot for him. He was 4 months old when he started and has been there over a year now. It really is like a little family here. You can tell that the owners and teachers care not only about the kids and families, but also each other. My child is happily interacting with the teachers and other kids when I pick him up everyday. I would recommend them to anyone who is looking for a safe and loving place to enroll their child!

Both of our kids attended EPLC from infant to pre-K. They had wonderful experiences everyday and were very well prepared for kindergarten. We appreciated that EPLC is a small, family-run daycare with a staff that was very consistent throughout our time there. Every person there loved on and supported our kids, while still making sure that they were acting appropriately and to their fullest potential. We appreciated all the ways that they kept us involved, even while navigating the uncertainty that was the Covid year. We have recommended EPLC to friends without reservation and will continue to do so. We couldn’t have asked for a better place for our kids’ early years.

Sending my baby to daycare at 16 weeks old was incredibly hard for me. We're two months in now and EPLC has made it a wonderful experience. My baby LOVES it there and the care and attention they give the kids is evident from the moment you walk in the door. Her teachers are wonderful and I truly don't worry about her while she's there. I know she's learning, playing and well taken care of. Teachers from other classes even know my baby's name. The owners are fantastic, attentive and hands on (something you don't see at most daycares). I feel so lucky to have gotten a spot here. I know my baby is in great hands and will be for years to come. Thank you, EPLC!

I cannot possibly say enough good things about EPLC. The teachers care so much about the kids and the pre-K program has prepared my boys perfectly for kindergarten- they are thriving in school because of the learning and love they received from the leaders at EPLC. If you’re looking around; I hope you stop the search and call to learn more about this place. It’s truly something special and all of the teachers and the owners feel like family.

A Truly Nurturing and Loving Preschool My granddaughter has attended Executive Park Learning Center (EPLC) for the past four years, and it has been an incredible experience from start to finish. As she prepares to begin kindergarten this fall, it's bittersweet knowing she will be leaving such a warm and nurturing environment. The school is owned and managed by Jennifer and Frank Marcano, whose dedication and hands-on leadership truly shine through every aspect of EPLC. The staff is caring, loving, and deeply committed to each child's development. One of the most telling signs of the center’s quality is the longevity of the staff—many have been with the school for years, which speaks volumes about the positive atmosphere and supportive leadership. Thanks to the well-rounded curriculum and nurturing setting, my granddaughter is more than ready for kindergarten—both academically and socially. She has grown in confidence, curiosity, and capability, and we credit EPLC with helping lay the foundation for her future success. If you are searching for a loving, structured, and educational preschool, I highly encourage you to visit Executive Park Learning Center. You will not regret it!
