We’ve been with this daycare for over two years, and I can confidently say the new management has made such a positive difference. The communication is excellent- i always feel informed and in the loop. The environment is consistently clean and well-maintained. Most importantly, the staff is incredibly friendly, caring, and genuinely invested in the kids. We’re so grateful to have found a place where our daughter is happy, safe, and well cared for. Highly recommend!

I personally love the ladies who run the daycare, and who care for my children daily. Couldn’t ask for better! You can see how much the teachers care for both of my boys and that means more than words could ever explain.

So impressed with the care, love and attention at Heartland Academy! This facility is beautiful and I was welcomed from the moment I went there. I highly recommend them! They recently are under new ownership and management and I cant wait to see all the new things to come. This space is safe, and right off US 27 in Nicholasville. Easy access and so friendly and helpful.
