I seriously cannot say enough good things about Abagtha Academy & the staff! I am a single mom & have had a few struggles this past year, they've never made me feel "less than" & have always gone above & beyond. Including calls/emails from the owner herself to let me know "we've got you" & "these babies are our babies too, we're praying for you". Those little things mean so much that we aren't just a number here & that they take just a few minutes out of their busy days to just acknowledge us. My children are striving & so happy at this school. My youngest is always so happy at drop off & pick up, he loves it, my oldest talks forever about what she learns & is always singing the songs she learns. They both come home happy, clean (sometimes cleaner than when I took them), & excited for the next day. Thank you all so much for loving my little family!

I have had 3 children go through the Abagtha Academy Private School Program. Each one from the Infant class, all the way through Kinder Prep. Our oldest child attended a different school in the area when they were younger, as we didn't know about Abagtha Academy. It was definitely a completely different experience. I wish we had known about Abagtha Academy first. They are a very small & personal Private School, (you don't find that much nowadays). Which we loved. It allows for more individualized attention to the children & their needs. Especially if there are behavior concerns or struggles with learning. Most schools from our experience in touring etc, is that these schools want to "fill" the classrooms to the brim. Leading to too many kids, with not enough staff, leading to teacher burn out & then constant turn over. This team at Abagtha Academy really strives to be the best from what we've seen in our 4 years here with all 3 of our younger children. We've got our youngest two that still have 2 years left here & we couldn't be more pleased. I am in education & my wife is in Medical Field, so we need the best & I'm thankful we have that here!

I cannot say enough good things about Lisa’s program at Abagtha Academy. My children have been in 3 other schools & really struggled due to various things, but mainly because they were play based. Abagtha has the perfect mixture of Structure & Play! My children are full of knowledge, refreshed & happy everyday when I pick them up. I love that they include EVERYTHING, I don’t have to worry about extra curriculum fees, or supply fees, or hidden annual fees. And I love most that they listen to me as a mom when I ever have a concern, or don’t understand something. They have no problem explaining things to me at a broken down need. :) We are so blessed to have found this amazing school! I am so thankful for Mrs Lisa, Mr Chris, Mrs Michelle, Mrs Amanda, Mrs Erika & everyone!

I was so nervous switching my child from Montessori, just because it’s such a big difference. However, after speaking with Lisa, (she is a wealth of knowledge by the way!) I learned a lot about the differences in her program & the Montessori way…
We were struggling with the fact that my child was in a classroom of 3 - 6 yr olds & was picking up a “kid is the boss” behavior. After being in Abagtha Academy for 3 months, I am surprised at the difference in my child’s behavior, but also the calmness, the attention/focus change & so much more. My loving child is back! Therapy was our next step & we are just beyond thankful! My husband & I love that the class sizes are so much smaller too! Only 12 children, instead of 25! I actually get to communicate with the teacher everyday, I get to see what they are doing! We love the group updates & communications too.
If you are looking for a new school, (not a daycare or babysitting service) this is the exact place! 110% worth the tition

This is the greatest daycare if you are looking, look no further. I was blessed to have met the owner way before I knew my son needed a daycare to go to, and her and her husband are the most wonderful people you will ever meet!!! They care about your child, your child is not just a number they know everyone's names and each parent when you come to pick up your kid. They have helped my son so much, he is so energetic and they know exactly how to handle him, and to give you an idea this child can count in Spanish and English and he just turned 3! They have very interactive learning techniques and really work to teach the kids! I cannot say enough good things about this daycare!!! My future child will be going here as well!

My son & daughter have been with the Abagtha Academy family for the past 2 years. I truly wish we would have found them sooner. My children had MAJOR separation anxiety & were terrified of "another" child care after having traumatic experiences at a previous child care center. Lisa & her staff really went above & beyond to make my kiddos comfortable. Lisa told me during the tour "give me 2 full weeks with them & I promise, they'll come in happy".... We started on a Tues, by that Fri, the kids were both excited to go to "school" to see their friends & teachers. They wouldn't even hardly say bye in the am because they were so excited. When attending the School Thanksgiving Feast, & Christmas party, we truly felt like family & not just a business event attendee. This meant a lot to me. They had a Santa & everything & it was a blast! My kids still talk about this! You can tell that the Abagtha Academy owners are NOT your typical Child Care owners! And their school/program is far above any in the area!

My Daughter has attended Abagtha Academy since she was 2 months old. She is leaving this year for Kindergarten & I am an emotional mess. Lisa & her team have been such a blessing for our family & have loved our ginger like their very own. I couldn't ask for a better extended family for her. Lisa has really invested her heart into Abagtha Academy, this is not a business for her & you can see that clearly. She cares genuinely about her families, & her employees. I have seen first hand how genuine she is. Always going above & beyond to let you know you're not just a number with her team. I can't say enough amazing things about this program. My daughter is going into Kinder writing her first/last name, spelling 3 & 4 letter words, social skills beyond what I expected. Manners, knowing how to line up, raise her hand & respect her friends "bubbles". I couldn't have taught her all she knows alone. Beyond thankful!
