Testimonials

My child has been attending Big Blue Marble Academy in Leesville since September. I have nothing but positive things to say about the staff,  from the teachers to management, they’re so friendly and welcoming. They make sure I have no worries throughout the day by posting updates and pictures of my child in the Procare app. I’ve referred two parents to them and I plan on referring more. Your child will be in great hands!
