  • I have so many wonderful things to say about Mt. Elizabeth. We enrolled with them in early 2019 after a lot of heartfelt consideration about leaving our previous daycare. We were seeking a smaller school that paid more attention to the students (our previous school had 19+ children per classroom and it was simply chaos). I did my homework. Toured every school in the area, spoke with the directors extensively, asked as many questions as I could, and chose to go with Mt. Elizabeth. I have not regretted my decision once. My two children are loved by every teacher they've had, I have direct communication with the teachers and admin staff (our previous school did not encourage direct communication with teachers during the day), and they are learning so SO much. I feel known and heard by the admin staff, they have handled the COVID quarantine gracefully and empathically, and they pour back in to their families and students. I can't recommend our school more. It will be very sad the day my kids graduate out to kindergarten.

  • As first time parents, it was very important to my husband and I that we found the best care possible for our child. Many hours of research and tours took place before Mt. Elizabeth and I was starting to feel like I had unrealistic expectations for childcare based on the outcomes of the other visits. After meeting with Ann and touring Mt. E I knew immediately they were the ones and my son has been attending the school since he was 8 months, this year he will be 3. He absolutely loves going to school and cries when it's time to leave! The teachers are warm and welcoming, they love him and he loves them. His learning and development has met and exceeded expectations and I absolutely love the fact that the school uses Brightwheel so I can see pictures and get updates throughout the day. Rob and Ann, you are genuine, caring, good people and God has blessed your school, we wish you continued successes and longevity! I could go on in this review but then it would become a small book. A big thank you to Ms. Cecile, Ms. Patricia, Ms.Terre, Ms. Dree, Ms. Shequila, and all of the other very talented and caring teachers at Mt.E that contribute their time and efforts to nurture and develop the young and impressionable minds of our precious children.

  • Mt. Elizabeth Academy is a GREAT school, and like any other facility it has it's pros & cons. However, from a personal experience there are more pros which contributes to the progression of the school. I worked as the private pre-k teacher (over a year ago), and was one of the 1st hires. Unfortunately, personal issues took place in my life that affected my passion in teaching, along with the high potential the directors saw in me when I was first hired. One thing I could never do is speak badly about Ann & Rob because they were always concerned, encouraging, and doing their best to maintain a school of excellence. I thank them for their honesty, and for doing what they felt was best to do for the success of the class, although I felt it was personal and unfair at the time. Mt. E was indeed my stepping stone for growth and opportunity, and if it had not been for the honest wake-up call the Godley's gave me, I wouldn't be where I am now, back in the classroom, teaching passionately with much more to offer my elementary students. * I HIGHLY recommend MT.E for parents looking for an amazing school to place their child(ren) and/or those looking for a great place to work with a passion & love for children.

  • CANNOT RECOMMEND MT. ELIZABETH ENOUGH We started our son at Mt. Elizabeth almost a year ago in toddler 1 and I cannot be happier with our choice to do so. Every member of the staff is attentive, patient and kind with our son (as I know they are with all the students). The facility is clean, the lunch is healthy, they lay out a daily schedule so we know exactly what his day looks like, and they really do teach him so much. I'm not sure what we would do without Mt. Elizabeth or how we ever lived without them. They give us so much peace of mind, and they give our son a home away from home. A special shout out to his primary teacher Ms. Molly, as much as we love her, our son loves her even more (:

  • I can't say enough great things about Mt. Elizabeth! As a first time mom, it was definitely a big decision. I had my child at home for three years. Our childcare at home changed right during the pandemic and we had to choose childcare fairly quickly. From my first phone call with Mrs. Ann, the Owner and my first tour, I knew I'd found the right place for my child and us (the parents)! She answered all of my questions and was so helpful. They were warm welcoming, and continue to know what works for my daughter, and I love that they know all of the details about each child to make their experience the best for them! I love my child's teacher and the staff is always kind and helpful! In these times, it's good to know your baby/child is in loving and caring hands!

  • My daughter has been attending Mt. E since January 2018 and we feel so blessed to have found them! I don't know where to start. There are so many wonderful things to say! This facility has been a godsend to our family. Prior to finding Mt. E, we had a surgery scheduled for my daughter to have tubes put in. She was having earaches at least once a month and stayed sick all the time, from her previous daycare. We found Mt. E & decided to change her school first & then go from there. This was the best decision we EVER made!!! My daughter has only been sick TWICE in 17 months. And guess what, NO TUBES! NO SURGERY!!!! Ann & Rob are great! The staff is ALWAYS friendly. The children are always well behaved & I love the way the teachers direct them. I walk down the hallway each afternoon and hear bits and pieces from each class and I SMILE. Literally, I smile! It's so refreshing. The facility is always clean. You can always catch someone cleaning the floor or spraying the room with their amazing cleaning wand. The Brightwheel app is so nice and convenient. I love being able to see what my daughter is doing throughout the day and see pictures of her having a blast. My mother, who lives in a different state, has access to the app and it is so nice for her to be able to keep up with her as well. I could go on and on. There are so many wonderful things about this facility. I wish I could give you 10 stars! Thank you for all you do for our children. You are all appreciated!

  • Robert & Ann, I just want to say "thank you" to both of you and Mrs. Cecile for your time, patience, nurturing, and oversight of our Andrew (and this very nervous & new first time mom). As new parents we were extremely concerned about where we would place our little one for care. Mt. Elizabeth was our first stop but we toured and looked into other facilities as well. However, we were so impressed with our initial time at Mt. Elizabeth that we would often compare our experience to our time with you all - there was no match. From the moment we met all of you we have felt welcomed and cared for. To know that our son is receiving a well-thought out curriculum while being embraced by Christian values and beliefs is so comforting. Mrs. Cecile, thank you so much for all that you do to communicate with us and keep us updated! You made our first week wonderful. Your patience, guidance, and understanding are unmatched. You are a gem and we appreciate your care of our little Andrew. Thank you all for your authenticity, your genuine care, and everything you do. Last week you unknowingly reminded and confirmed for us why we chose Mt. Elizabeth.

  • Mt. Elizabeth Academy is EXCELLENT. The staff and center is caring, knowledgeable, professional and family oriented. The communication through out the center and home is exceptional. I couldn't imagine sending my infant and toddler anywhere else. The care they receive from all of the staff is the equivalent to a family member caring for my children.
