We are a private school located in Estero, Florida serving children year-round from 8 weeks to 5 years (Pre-K). At Milestones Learning Center we believe that in order for a child to truly learn they must enjoy what it is they are doing. Therefore we work to make learning FUN! We offer extended time in each area of focus so that the children have a greater opportunity to develop an understanding of the skills being taught and can expand their playtime. It is our goal to provide each child with a firm foundation of knowledge using hands on experiences from which they can build upon to meeting their fullest potential.
Our Programs
We meet the needs of children as young as 8 weeks old though 5 years old with year-round care.
In addition to our full-time childcare, we also offer an accelerated learning Pre-K program.

Testimonials
I recommend Milestones Learning Center -Estero! We have been to (other local centers) and MLC has blown them both out of the water. The staff is friendly and loves our kids like their own. The instruction is top notch - my daughter starts Kindergarten in the fall and is already reading, writing, doing math. Each parent has to get buzzed in by a staff member and we all have different sign-in logins to check kids in and out.

I got so lucky finding milestones and after our tour with Mrs. Gina and Mr. Michael I knew I wanted our daughter to go there. She started in August of 2024 and has already learned so many new things. Her personality is shining bright and she loves to go to school. She’s met so many new friends and so have I. The teachers are beyond amazing and they really do love and care for your children. The facility is nice, clean and organized. If I have another child they will most definitely be attending Milestones. I can work in peace knowing my child’s care is in GREAT hands!

The Owners maintain high standards in every area you'd want for your child's care - from staff professionalism & cleanliness, to tracking developmental milestones. School fees includes breakfast, lunch & snacks!! I have had 3 kids go there from 2018-2025; highly reccomend.

The teachers and staff at Milestones have become so much more than caregivers—they are family. Their genuine love, patience, and dedication to every child is felt in everything they do. They don’t just supervise or educate; they nurture, uplift, and support our children as if they were their own. That kind of care is rare, and it brings a peace of mind that words simply can’t express.

Literally nothing but good things to say about Milestones!!! They have had my daughter since she was 4 months old and working through all of her development phases has been so much easier with their help. They also provide all her food in their costs making it that much more worth it for us!

I wish my grandson could have stayed at Milestones all the way though high school. He started Milestones when he was 3 and stayed until he started kindergarten. They loved and cared for him like he was their own. Very safe environment. Every experience at Milestones was a great one for our family, my Grandson and we miss them very much. I recommend Milestones to anyone looking for a loving, caring, safe and great start to education for any child.

Milestones Learning Center has far surpassed any expectation that we could have for daily care of our children. The staff is phenomenal and extremely welcoming. The standard of care is exceptional and the structure is far superior to any other experience we have had in the past. We could not be more pleased and are so happy we found them ❤️

The teachers are incredible at Milestones! My son went from being a non-roller to pulling himself up in such a short time. They truly focus on all of the important activities infants need to develop. I’m so thankful for the love and support they have given my son. The administration team takes covid precautions seriously and truly puts the health and safety of the children and staff first. This is the facility you want to enroll your children at!

As a first time mom, I researched seven learning centers throughout Lee County before placing my son in a facility. From the moment I met the Director, Ms. Gina, I was extremely impressed by her professionalism, organization and enthusiasm for children. We decided to try Milestones. It was the best decision our family has ever made. Not only does my son absolutely adore going to school every day, I am blown away by how much he has learned in a short period of time. We are thankful and grateful for finding this amazing learning center that truly wants the best for our children and our family. Thank you, Milestones!

My little one loves it there, and his teacher, Ms. Michelle, is awesome! When I was looking for a daycare before my son was born, the director spent a lot of time with me explaining the goals of the center and how they go above and beyond the basic requirements for a daycare center. Our experience has been great. Highly recommend.

We love Milestones & all of the teachers and staff. Dennis has fun with his friends & loves to learn! We were on a long wait list before a spot opened up for him and it was definitely worth the wait!

We love Milestones. I am very impressed with the experience and knowledge of the staff. They are very organized and always warm and caring. My daughter loves school and her teachers. They teach colors, numbers, manners, and good habits like hand washing. I highly recommend this center.
Kathleen M.
We love Milestones Learning Center! I am amazed at how much my oldest (toddler age) has learned in such a short time! Not only has she developed academically, but in confidence as well. Equally important, this school emphasizes character development which is such an important part of learning in the early years. My youngest is in the infant classroom and already loves school. The structure this school provides, along with the loving teachers and staff, is really shaping my little ones' love for learning. Thank you Milestones!
