Testimonials
My son had the best growing experience a young boy could have. He learned and gained independence while in the care of Ms. Ernestine. He never cried when he started his first day. He adapted to the environment she provided and loves Ms. Long . Matrese R. Williams
Ernestine Long is a committed caretaker and educator of children. She gave my grandson excellent care. He felt love and matured remarkably while attending Children’s Noah Ark. He began at 10 months of age and continued through the beginning elementary school. He is still a member of the family! Ernestine Long provides the best foundational experience.
Sincerely, T. J. Williams
