- SSSharlay SlossAug 14, 20235.0This center truly lives the values of its brand and treats the employees with dignity and respect. The teachers are kind and dedicated to teaching children. The directors are committed to staffing the best providers while encouraging continuous education. I would give 10 stars if I could.
- JFJessica Garcia FritzFeb 8, 20215.0We are so pleased to have an education center like the Early Learning Center (ELC) in Brookings. Though our family has been happy with the quality of education and care provided by the ELC, we have been especially impressed with the reliability and responsiveness of the staff and teachers during Covid-19. Protocols for the center are clear and if any questions do arise, the Health and Safety director is quick to help and offer direction. We have watched them respond and adjust to a changing situation by offering clarity and without compromising the quality of care and safety provided for our child. Thanks ELC!
- CLChelsea LynnFeb 4, 20195.0My 2 year old and 5 month old attended the Early Learning Center, so we experienced the infant program and the toddler program. I can't say enough good things about the team at ELC-Bright Horizons! I always felt So SAFE leaving my babies at the facility; the teachers in the infant room were very caring and professional. They listened to my concerns and questions about developmental goals. The infant program makes sure the babies are developing and growing-there's never a "set them on the floor or a bouncer and forget them" mentality like some other care programs employ. The babies get LOTS of one on one attention. They are loved and snuggled so much. The toddler program was excellent. My son's vocabulary developed so much thanks to the great teachers. They are very attentive to ensure a safe environment and to communicate any concerns promptly so we as parents could follow-up. The administrative staff (Barb, Tara, and Alexa) were critical as well to making sure I always knew what was going on at the center and in my children's lives. They make safety a priority! I will miss this center SO MUCH! They are worth the wait!

The teachers and staff are kind, compassionate and first rate. We strongly recommend The Early Learning Center to anyone looking for top notch childcare and education.
