Just Us Kids Early Learning Center has been serving children and families since 1996 and later built a larger facility in 2007. The program operates as a licensed early learning center that is nationally accredited through NECPA, is a Level 4 Paths to QUALITY provider, and is licensed to serve 200 children. The center uses the Brightwheel App so teachers can update parents with daily routines and send pictures of children playing on the playground or making a new craft. The stated mission is to make a difference by compassionately helping people, both big and small, to learn, grow, and thrive. Families have described Just Us Kids as having staff who are dedicated and loving, with some parents saying the staff has become like family and that sending their children there was one of the best decisions they made. The leadership team includes Executive Director Carrie Justice, Director of JUK West Melanie Markle, Director of JUK South Kelly Williams, and Assistant Director of JUK South Kaleigh Scott.
