LLPC is learning center it is not glorified baby sitter. The staff is there to teach our children…read moreso they will be ready for Kindergarten. My son has been there since October 2010, we pulled him out of one of those glorified daycare's, within 2 weeks he was new child, at 24 months he started recognizing his surroundings. He went from the toddler class to the preschool class. He just completed his homework for the night. When I went on line to make sure we would be prepared for where he should be when he gets tested next year to start school. "Everything" that is required - he is currently learning. He still has the "WHOLE SCHOOL YEAR to get better" and he is getting that from his teacher. I love the fact that Mrs. Moore, Mrs. Tosha, and Mrs, Josie love their students, and want to see everyone of them excel. The checklist that comes home with my son, "Progress Report" I go over that with him everyday when I pick him up; he knows he had better have good report. It is called teaching him responsibility. As to the TV; they hardy watch any TV at school. Friday's is movie day, the kids get to bring their favorite movie, it is called reward. This is 2013 and you just stereotyped that learning center. I think that is crazy and you ought to be ashamed of yourself. That's what is wrong with this country now, everyone wants to put 'LABEL"; let me tell you this, LLPC is very diverse, that is what I want my son around, his teacher is fluent in Spanish, she even teaches them words in Spanish, that is now taught in most of the elementary schools. In the beginning my son cried when we would drop him off, but as soon as we were out the door, he was about his school. He is going on 5, there are still some mornings he wakes up on the wrong side of the bed, he might cry, it isn't because he doesn't want to be there, or the school is miss treating him, he is just having one of those mornings. On the weekends, my son eats from time he gets up till the time he goes to bed. Ask your pediatrician they are at the growing age, they are grazers, that is what the pediatricians like, so of course he is going to come home and eat. When I pick my son up everyday, I have cup of milk and yogurt. It is just life. The 3 star rating that this school has if very justified. Gina Sparks

I want to tell all the readers that see the negative post about this business to consider it…read morecomplete slander and defamation. I know the owner of this daycare and have known her for more than 20 years as an ex-neighbor and continued personal friend and she is one of the most organized and precise people I know at home and work. As a friend, I have been around her business since it opened when the Disney characters were 1st painted on the walls of the place, pictures that I took for her. To see the real scoop on this business go to the state of tn and not third party critic sites and ask them about her business profile and image and you will see that she has maintained the highest ratings they offer year after year. Her staff has been with her since day one most of them and I have been by there many times unannounced and by appointment to do odd projects for her and each time the business is always up to par so with plenty of good smelling well prepared meals for the kids. It is still wrong to bear false witness and from reading that negative post that's exactly what it is and seeks to harm her good business name and I am asking you to read between those lies and go by and meet them for yourself. This is truly a 5 star daycare with an owner and staff that cares. The kids love this place from what I can tell and are always learning, active and smiling. You can't please everyone no matter how hard you try. Oh yeah out of all the times I have been by due to security measures you can't just pop in. The door is always locked, you knock and wait for someone to come let you in and even once you are inside you still have another safety gate that has to be opened by staff for you to go any further. So I assure you that all that poppin up stuff by the negative poster is false. Based on my visits there is just no way possible for what she said to have occurred because the set up of this place would not allow her to have done all that she claimed in her visit. Not unless she has X-ray vision. To see for yourself go by and you will see what I mean and also see that this negative post is just plain ole not TRUEEEE. None of it.

From day one, the whole staff has done nothing but treat us all like family. He squeals every morning when we pull into the parking lot with excitement, and I know it's because he has the best time there. I'm so thankful for everything and everyone who works there! If you're searching for a daycare, you've found your place!

Wow! This YMCA has gone through puberty and adulthood in front of my eyes. From having a double…read morewide trailer to full expansion of the fitness studio. They have a indoor pool (open all year) and out door pool area (closed during winter). They have a sauna and steam room, locker rooms and family locker rooms.

This is a great gym with out of the pretentiousness of the normal chain gym locations…read more I joined this YMCA specifically for the indoor heated lap pool. I needed to get my butt back in the gym, but after doing CrossFit for a few years my body can't take high impact work outs anymore. Even running kills me. Indoor and outdoor pool areas, sauna, steam rooms; plus spin classes, Zumba and a full indoor basketball court. This place literally has everything you need including a free weights and cardio area. You really can't beat it for $65 a month per person. The best time to come is very early morning or between 1-4pm. There's also plenty of parking and a babysitting service for parents. They will watch your kids for 2-hours for free! More pics to come and get healthy in 2022!

Gal that has appointed herself "Principal" has no formal qualifications and says she considers all her Pre-K staff to be qualified teachers despite no college education.
