Premier Learning Academy

PLA is fantastic program where the staff is very engaged with both the parents and the children. We left Risen Savior after some issues with turnover and poor attention and follow up from staff, and PLA was a vast improvement. I initially dropped by just to pick up a brochure and Elana took the time to give me a full tour and I could tell from our discussion the level of dedication and commitment she has towards building a top notch program. The director Stacy is always friendly and engaging and knows what is going on with our son despite him being one of many students they have. Our son has taken to his teachers very well and we always get detailed updates on how his day was and what he did. They have lots of fun activities and crafts, and the facility itself is very open with lots of toys and stimulating activity. I think as many parents do, we have concerns about the time we spend working versus having them at home at such a young age, but it is very comforting to know he is in such good hands at PLA.

My wife and I have been nothing but pleased with our experience with PLA. They have been so loving to our daughter allowing her to grow and learn. They allowed us to bring our own food as well as worked with us and our drop off and pick up times. We are extremely sad to leave but we moved to another house and our jobs would make the trip to PLA too much. Take the time and definitely check this place out.

Outstanding facility with even better staff. My daughter loves going here and most nights don’t want to leave.

We absolutely love this preschool for our 4 year old daughter! The staff are so caring and she has learned so much academically. The first time we came in for a tour the owner, Elana, was so helpful and really made us feel like we would be part of the PLA family by sending our daughter here.
I notice all of the other classes every day when I drop off and pick up my daughter. I especially love the 1s class and how loving and caring Ms Shireen is with those babies. Just the type of environment I would have wanted my children in at that age!
I would strongly recommend this school to anyone with children 1 – 5!

Best childcare in Chandler! Right when you walk in you are always greeted with a smile and outstanding service. The prices are unbeatable and all the teachers are amazing! I would highly recommend this place to anyone with young children!!!

We have been going to PLA since my daughter was one. She is now 4. A few years ago they switched ownership. I am so glad they did. The facility before was simply just a day care. The facility is updated with a modern kid friendly feel. It is spacious and very open areas to learn and play. The facility is very clean. The actual curriculum is wonderful. This is not just a day care. Your child will actually learn, and they will enjoying learning while they sometimes do not even realize they are learning because they do have a great time. The lessons plans are well thought out and implemented in a way that they can learn with a hands on art projects and other unique creative ways of tying it all together in their lesson plan. All of the teachers are very professional and loving. The new owners take pride in everything they do, and they are actual hands on owners that are they everyday. This is not a corporate owned facility and all the extra touches they have there reflect this. The only problem is that my daughter will start kindergarten next year and we will be so sad not to be there all day. We will still go for their after school program. My daughter is so happy here.. Last year she really was not that interested in learning, she just wanted to play and socialize, now she plays school in her bathtub with all her animal characters and practices her sight words with them. She is obsessed with learning more… This is such a 360 on her attitude towards school. They use a lot of positive reinforcement for her and that has been what she needed to build her confidence. I am so glad her wonderful teacher took a little extra time with her to build her up. You guys are great… Thanks for everything you do…

PLA is a great place where I feel that the owners truly care about my daughter. They are sisters and have backgrounds in professional education.
I’m amazed every day when I come there what a beautiful and large place it is. You can see that every detail of the place was done with 100% love and care for the children and not some corporate bottom line.
After picking up my daughter one day early I saw one of the teachers, Liora, teach the class how to count to 100 by 10s. All the kids were having a blast and they were actually LEARNING! what a concept!
I think the best part of PLA is the family atmosphere that you get there. It’s not a large corporation. Instead, you can talk with the owners face to face and know with a doubt that they are doing this for their love for children.

My son absolutely loves this place! Been to many preschools with my four older kids and none even come close to premier learning… very cool facility; feels modern and refreshing; owners are super, sad that we are graduating this year

We love Premier Learning Academy, especially after the ownership change. Elana and her staff are so friendly and caring. Our daughter truly loves going to school and I definitely feel like they really care for each and every one of their students. I also feel like she’s improved in so many academic areas, especially love the teaching of spanish. So if you live in our area and are considering a school for your lil one PLA is a great choice.

My daughter has been here since she was 2. It’s amazing how much she knows now, she is potty trained, she can write her name and some words and she also knows all the colors and numbers in Spanish.

Both of my kids attend this school and I absolutely love the staff! They are so good with both of the kids and my 5 year old is going to start Kindergarten this year and has learned so much over this year! I would highly recommend this school!

This facility is amazing. There is an open floor plan, indoor playground with a kid-​sized climbing wall, gorgeous playhouses, and the classrooms are bright and organized. The new owners have revamped the curriculum and kids are learning so much, and teachers have gotten more training and have the opportunity to bring their own ideas into class projects. They provide food and make fresh food daily, provide fruit and veggies and keep the place clean! It is a special find In the east valley. Check it out!

My daughter has been attending premier since she was 18 months old with Ms Shireen and is now she is in ms Tiffany and ms Jessica’s three year old room… I am super impressed with their modern and unique facility And love the warmth and family feel. The owners are there day in and day out and know every child by their first name! I have never walked away without a smile or caring words on a daily basis from the director ms stacy!
My daughter loves coming to school everyday and I will be very sad when she leaves.

We are very happy with the staff and location of this preschool. Many beautiful and thoughtful changes have been made since the new owners took over from last year. Loving hands and warm inviting hugs!
