What Parents Say
"Absolutely the best preschool! Not only were my child's physical needs med (she has complicated medical issues), but her social, emotional and educational needs were exceeded. If Ms Jessa decided to open a school for K+, we'd be there. Your child will be safe while receiving loving care and an excellent education at Zam Learning Center."

"My son was at ZAM Learning Center for three years and it was an amazing experience. Ms. Jessa provides excellent childcare in a safe, loving environment. She's very organized with her paperwork and communicates everything clearly to parents. There's a camera so you can view your child from your computer or phone.
Children are fed breakfast, lunch, and two snacks. They get plenty of outdoor time to play.
Ms. Jessa does an excellent job in teaching the children not only social skills, but also how to read and write. When my son started Kindergarten, he was already reading at the second-grade level. I highly recommend ZAM Learning Center!"

"Jessa is a wonderful child care provider. My child was particularly challenging because she was with me for almost 1.5 years before I placed her in daycare. She had little socialization with other children and was extremely attached to me. Jessa was extremely patient with her (and helped me to understand appropriate developmental stages). Jessa also is extremely well-rounded in terms of her curriculum. Most of her students leave her care being able to read by age 4! She also teaches complex concepts that most children don't receive until grade school. As a former teacher (secondary) I recommend her highly. I only removed my daughter do to a job and location change.

"I cannot say enough glowing and amazing things about Jessa and this daycare. My daughter attended this daycare from the time she was 18 months, when we moved into the area, until just recently when she left to attend school (October 2013-August 2016).
On our first visit, I knew that Zam would be a great fit for my daughter, and I was never disappointed. From the tight and lasting friendships (both among the kids and the parents), the dedicated focus on individualized learning and development through Montessori-style instruction, and the excitement my child had each day to go see her teacher and friends, I feel like Zam provided an amazing foundation for my child's success in school.
Jessa is very hands-on, has set up a great learning and play environment for the kids, is creative and dedicated beyond measure, and effectively engages parents in a partnership to allow each child to maximize their potential. I feel like I could not have made a better decision to entrust my child with her for these crucial early years."

"Our child has attended ZAM Learning Center since June of 2014. During this time, we have watched her evolve into a vibrant, well-rounded child full of the desire to learn and who asks to go to school daily (including weekends.) Our family sets the standards high in regards to trust and safety and we have had little concerns during this time; any concerns were minor in nature. If there was a concern or question, it was met with completely open communication and immediately addressed. We have absolutely no concerns sending our child to ZAM Learning Center each day.
Jessa takes the time daily to work one-on-one with each child to ensure that he/she is challenged and to work through any areas of improvement. She holds regular parent teacher conferences and assesses each child, providing comparisons of the child's work to the parent and offering ways to work through any challenges the child may be experiencing or suggestions on how to support a child's strengths.
Our child will begin Kindergarten in the 2017/2018 school year not only with confidence, but a solid education that rivals many children starting the 1st grade.
Even after we leave ZAM, we have made it clear that we will happily provide a professional reference for ZAM Learning Center, but also a personal reference for Jessa. The McFetridge family has become our extended family!"

Ms. Jessa and Ms. Sam, remember their names as your children will come home singing their praises daily! ZAM is an in-home daycare center that values group/peer learning, developmental growth, social interactions, building self-confidence and responsibility, and having fun of course. There is always an event they are having with the kids, science experiments with fruit, baking treats, or learning about the earth while digging up worms in the backyard! ZAM is constant, which is the best for parents on the go who want a stable environment for their child to grow while feeling safe and cared for. All the meals are hand prepared daily, and snacks are provided throughout the day.
Ms. Jessa prioritizes communication with parents with quarterly parent meetings and newsletter/emails. My son left ZAM soooooo ready for kindergarten, he has consistently tested in the 90th percentile, or higher, on all his standardized assessments. He’s only been in kindergarten for 6 months. Ms. Sam and Jessa are kind-hearted and committed to each child that enters their door. They have graduations for their learners departing for school, even if it’s only 1 learner! 😍 Can you tell we enjoyed our experience with them?! 😁
