Our two kids have had a really good experience at Intrinsic Academy so far. The teachers are patient and attentive, and both boys seem genuinely comfortable there. We’ve noticed steady progress in their confidence, routines, and how they handle the school day. The environment feels structured without being rigid, and communication with the staff has been easy. It’s been a solid fit for our family, and we’re happy with how our kids are growing there.
We’ve had a positive experience with our sons’ daycare. During a period of recent changes, the staff has remained attentive and supportive, helping maintain a stable environment for the kids.
Our boys are comfortable there and enjoy their time, which is important to us. We appreciate the consistency and care the team provides each day.

My daughter and son have both attended Intrinsic Scholars and have had a wonderful experience. The first thing you notice when walking in is how quiet the place is, now there are normal kid noises but a distinct lack of crying and screaming. Other childcare places I’ve been to sound very different. Every teacher and staff member knows your child’s name within a day or so and are always happy to see them.
My kids were well prepared for elementary school. My daughter made an easy transition to kindergarten and has excelled in every subject and I give IS a lot of credit for that. There are tons of activities throughout the year and you are always kept informed about important events.
If you have the opportunity to send your kids to Intrinsic, take it!

Intrinsic Scholars Academy has been a wonderful experience! The staff is caring, attentive, and truly invested in the children’s growth and well-being. Our child constantly talks about his teachers and how much fun he has with his peers. Communication with parents is clear and consistent, which gives peace of mind throughout the day. The environment is clean, welcoming, and structured in a way that supports both learning and social development. It’s clear that the teachers take pride in what they do and create a positive, nurturing atmosphere. Choosing the proper daycare for your child is a decision that we did not take lightly — We’re grateful to have found a daycare where our child feels safe, supported, and excited to learn!
We absolutely love this daycare! Our toddler has grown so much since starting here socially, emotionally, and developmentally. The teachers and whole team truly care about him, and it shows every single day.
They go above and beyond to make the experience fun and engaging for the kids, with special events like petting zoo days and pictures with Santa. It’s such a comforting feeling knowing our child is happy, loved, and excited to be there. We’re so grateful to be part of this community and highly recommend it to other families ❤️

We are so happy we were able to get our twins into ISA. The staff is extremely friendly, attentive and knowledgeable. The Director Marilyn goes above and beyond in making sure you(as a parent) are heard and appreciated. As well as making sure the children have a fulfilling experience. Since the girls have been there, they have been in class with a few different teachers. In pre-1 they had Reagan and Kelly who definitely handled them with patience and grace. I could tell they were learning even from the 1st week!
Now they are in Pre-2 With Ms. Yaya and they love it so much they are sometimes sad to leave school at the end of the day. Saying they miss Ms.Yaya before we even make it home.
We also love seeing the visual updates(photos and videos) from their lessons and activities as it helps us feel connected and informed. Plus we get to see their growth in action!
We love ISA and recommend it to anyone who is looking for a safe place for their kids that is much more than glorified babysitting. ISA is truly a place for learning, growth, nutruring and community.
We will have our girls there until they graduate!

We have two kiddos at Intrinsic and couldn’t be more happy with their learning, fun, and communication! We have one in PreK and one younger - literally love everything about it and how much it feels like a family. So thankful! ❤️
INtrinsic Scholars Academy has been wonderful for our family from the start. We moved our son here at six months old after a difficult experience elsewhere, and the difference was immediate. The teachers are caring, patient, and genuinely invested in each child at the daycare.
We love that our son has always been encouraged to learn and explore in creative ways. The teachers make learning fun and engaging, and we still treasure the art projects he brought home as a baby. We also appreciate that the school offers a variety of healthy meals and no screen time, which means a lot to us in this day and age. The kids spend their days playing, learning, and connecting with each other, which we really value.
The entire team, from teachers and administrators to the kitchen and maintenance staff, feels like one big family. They’ve created a warm and supportive environment where children feel safe, happy, and excited to come each day. We’re so grateful for everything INtrinsic has done for our son and the care they show every single day!
