Amazing Childcare and Learning Academy

Our Teachers

My name is Lakisha Leeks, I am a wife and mother of two. A girl and boy, Skye and EJ.

I am from Newport News Virginia. I am a military veteran. I have a Bachelor’s degree in Business Management from Morgan State University and Master’s degree in Engineering Management from George Washington University. I spent 16 years in Corporate America in sales in business development in the DC, Maryland and Virginia area.

I will be my children’s teacher for the unforeseeable future. I found that starting a daycare naturally made sense for our family. I want to support working parents by teaching their children, giving love, and preparing their children for, public, private or homeschool in the future.

I take my job as a childcare provider seriously and will continue to educate myself and partner with the best resources.
