Testimonials

On 8/20/2025 Melissa Zientarski had this to say:
We thank our lucky stars every day that we have Elite in our corner! We have felt so much love and confidence in us as parents and the growth in our son. The teachers have all helped us in so many ways. The Teal teachers had amazing advice on introducing our son to solid foods, the Red teachers encouraged him to be so independent and silly, the Orange teachers encouraged us to get help managing his big feelings, and the Green teachers have been so encouraging with potty training! Shelby and Kendra have been amazing supporters and resources along the way. All of teachers have us convinced that our son is their favorite, which is a skill in itself. Thank you so much for being on our squad to help our son turn into such a kind, smart, and funny kid! Testimonial written by Melissa Zientarski on this site.

Hi, I’m Allison! My husband, Greg, and I are proud parents to three amazing children—Barret, Beau, and Bella. They are the heart and inspiration behind this entire journey. As parents, we always dreamed of finding a daycare that felt like home—a place where our children felt safe, happy, and never wanted to leave. That vision became the foundation of what we’ve created: a daycare and preschool where families feel confident knowing their children are not only well cared for, but also learning, growing, and truly thriving.
They are our reason—ours and yours.

We’re committed to delivering the very best, right down to the smallest details. Our team is made up of experienced, qualified educators who are genuinely passionate about working with children. That passion shows in their smiles and in every interaction they have with the kids. Our curriculum is hands-on, engaging, and fun—designed to help children develop important skills while truly enjoying the learning process. Although my professional background is in nursing as a Registered Nurse, this new adventure comes straight from the heart. My kids are my world, and I wanted to create a place where parents can feel confident and at ease—knowing their children are safe, loved, and in a nurturing environment that feels like a second home.
We can’t wait to welcome your family into our community.

Warmly,
Allison Acero - Owner

Hello! My name is Brittany. My husband and I have been married since 2015, and together we are blessed with two amazing daughters, Paisleigh and Mila. Allison and I have worked side by side for years with a shared passion for building high-quality, nurturing child care environments within our community. It's been our mission to create spaces where children feel safe, supported, and excited to learn every day. As the Director, I come to work each day genuinely excited to watch our students grow—socially, emotionally, and academically—in a clean, safe, and caring environment. One of the things I love most about Elite is our ability to teach a well-rounded, hands-on curriculum that’s not only educational but also fun and engaging for both students and teachers. At Elite, we believe in being strong, positive role models for every child who walks through our doors. We’re here to help build self-esteem, encourage confidence, and prepare each child for the transition into kindergarten and beyond.
I look forward to partnering with your family on this important journey!

Warmly,
Brittany Pijewski
Director

All of our teachers join our school as qualified professionals who have successfully passed a comprehensive criminal background check. Each teacher brings either a minimum of 1,500 hours of prior experience or holds a degree ranging from an associate’s to a master’s level in a related field. In addition to meeting these qualifications, all staff members are required to complete a minimum of 12 hours of ongoing professional development each year. This includes Safe With You training, CPR and First Aid certification, and additional state-approved coursework. As part of their continuing education, teachers also complete training aligned with a specific domain from the Early Learning Guidelines to ensure they remain current with best practices in early childhood education.
