Business Review

"We moved into the area when my first son was 8 months old and were searching for a great daycare for him. We were referred to Maryville Early Learning Center (formerly Holy Family) from a friend, met Amy and some of the teachers and knew this was the place for us. The teachers are top-notch; their tenure and passion can be seen daily with the children; it feels they become part of the family since they know them so well. This facility is truly a hidden gem in the area; we are so lucky we found it." - Kevan 

"We couldn’t be happier with our experience. Amy Greif, the director, is phenomenal—she runs the center with such warmth, organization, and genuine care. The teachers in the toddler, young preschool, and Pre-K rooms have all been absolutely amazing. They truly care about our daughter and have helped her grow and thrive in every way. The lessons and activities are engaging and creative, and it always feels like a family environment. We’re so grateful to have found such a wonderful place for her early learning years.” - Deanna 

"Maryville Early Learning Center has been a wonderful part of our lives, supporting all three of our daughters from infancy through pre-K. The staff is warm, professional, and truly attentive to each child’s development. The center is secure, spotless and well-organized, which gives us peace of mind every day. Our girls have thrived emotionally, socially, and academically thanks to the enriching environment and caring team. We’re proud to be part of the Maryville community and highly recommend it to other families." - Jenna 

"We enrolled our older son when he was 5 months old after a less-than-ideal experience at another child care center and haven’t looked back since, nearly 3.5 years later. The best way to describe MELC is family. We know, without a doubt, that when our kids are at school, they are being loved on, cared for, & taught with kindness… They have made lasting friendships & built incredible bonds with peers because there is so much consistency here! They have classmates that they’ve been in class with since they were infants, which is so special! I rave to everyone who will listen that when we enrolled our younger son, he has the same teachers that our older son did 3 years prior – that is unheard of in child care! We have unbelievable peace of mind knowing how supported our family is by everyone at MELC, enrolling our children there truly changed our lives!" - Jordi and Gray
