Porter-Leath & University of Memphis Early Childhood Academy at Orange Mound

"My daughter has never experienced child care before this year. Since August, she has been so happy, so different, so much more social, and every single day she is excited to go to school! I am forever grateful for the love and compassion that this establishment has shown my daughter and our family. I am so comfortable with her being there daily and we have had no incidents whatsoever. Communication is exceptional via Remind and we never miss any activities, parent meetings, or events due to this app. It is great for parents like myself that are always on the move. Everyone from administration to the front desk is caring. The way that EVERYONE takes the time to know the students and their families amazes me. I am thankful for Ms. Guy and her patience and Ms. Margarita for hers as well. They ensure that the projects reflect family engagement and that when my daughter enters Kindergarten she will be emotionally and socially prepared. I love her teachers. I highly highly highly recommend this center. It exceeded my expectations and I am beyond proud to be a PLUM parent."

"I absolutely love this location. The environment is very welcoming and friendly. They have excellent communication skills and my baby absolutely enjoys being around his teachers and the other kids. My son started at this location in December when he was only 2 months. So far there has been no problems and the staff does a great job with him. He’s also breastfed and they do an excellent job with storing his milk and giving him the correct ounces. 10/10 highly recommended!!!"

"We are proud to have our son at Porter Leath-University of Memphis! The teachers love the children so well, offering age appropriate learning. The staff are kind and compassionate, with clear communication. The new center is clean and inviting. We consider ourselves lucky to be a part of this new center!"

"My 3yo daughter started in late September and it's her first time in childcare. The facility is new and has a very nice early childhood environment. The staff is polite and professional. My child's teacher is well educated with a BA in early childhood and years of experience which helped my child with adapting into a new environment from home. I have not had an experience in which my child was harm or unsupervised so, so far so good. I will update my comment in the future."

"My 4 year old goes here for PreK and I love it! She does as well! Everyone is very friendly and remembers each child name and greets us every morning and also afternoon! My daughter and I haven’t experienced any problems so far. Her teachers (Preschool 3) are amazing and they communicate what’s going on in the facility and also the class. They also let you know how your child did for the day etc! They also let you know every month what the children will be learning and going over and any other activities they will be having, they have weekly homework as well ! My daughter comes home happy and tells me everything she learned and did for the day! Best childcare facility I would recommend!"
