Testimonials

On 4/1/2023 Esmeralda Plascencia had this to say:
My child has been attending this school for a little over 2 years. It still amazes me how much growth has come and every time I think it can’t be topped, I get surprised again. Truly thankful for the listening ears and the moment every child is dedicated. Every milestone is celebrated big or small. Can we talk about the meals and healthy “snacks”? Kids don’t even know it’s not the junky stuff. Thank you FYU staff and administration!

Just came across the link for First Years and I just want to say as a former teacher and parent this is one of the most loving caring facilities I've ever been too..A place where your children are put first.One of the best friendliest places I've had the pleasure and experience of working at. Such a wholehearted owner & a warm and welcoming place to work and bring your children, Definitely recommend 10/10 if you are in the surrounding Homewood area looking for childcare or maybe even employment, id make First Years University a first stop.
