Our Center
Due to the amount of support and increase in demand, we were blessed to expand the services of Divine Daycare to a second location - Black Excellence Child Care. Our mission is to provide a safe and productive learning establishment to all children and their family. We strive to give quality education and development to all children in our care. We will continue to enhance our level of education to stay aware of all changes in the child care field. We will promote education in the areas of emotional, physical, psychological, and educational.
About 'Auntie dena'
My name is Dena Jordan, provider, teacher, and administrator. I have a passion for teaching and assisting in developing our children at a young age. To teach a child is to increase his/her ability to become successful in life. I begin to teach my daycare children as soon as they enroll from as young as 6 ½ weeks, because a child grasps and retains information by age 5. I teach all of my children the way that I would want my child taught. My measurement of success is that each child leaves my care with some level of education before he or she enters grade school. I enjoy what I do and have been a provider since 2006, I hold an Associate’s degree in Early elementary and a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology.

TESTIMONIALS
“Auntie Dena” is the epitome of a daycare provider! She doesn’t just watch your child, she nurtures and cares for them like they’re her own. My daughter Lauren is 4 and has been under Dena’s care since she was 11 mos. With Dena’s assistant we successfully potty trained Lauren at 17 mos. no pull ups straight into big girl undies! She also teaches them and prepares them for preschool and kindergarten. Lauren can write and spell her first and last name on her own. We love the atmosphere as well as the other workers in the facility. I couldn’t have chosen a better daycare! I love this place!"

"We love the how nurturing and loving they are here at Black Excellence Child Care. My son has been going here since he was 6 months and I know he is in good hands!"
"Being a first time mom is never easy especially going back to work and looking for a daycare that's safe and reliable. I had the pleasure of finding this daycare and not once did I ever second guess leaving my child there. I also have nieces and nephews that outgrew the daycare as well. Black Excellence Child Care was the best choice and my only choice. The caregivers are so wonderful and loving. When my son arrives he is so excited to see them. I'm so happy I chose this daycare for my son. A place that I could afford and also trust!"
"My son attended Black Excellence Child Care for over 3 years. The staff is AMAZING and LOVING. I could not ask for better caretakers for my son. They love and still treat my son just like their own. In addition, my son was able to start Kindergarten early due to the lessons and direction of Black Excellence. I would highly recommend this daycare to any parent who is interested in a nurturing, loving, and fun environment for their children. I will always be grateful for the level of care provided during my son’s time at the daycare. We keep in contact because it really is like a FAMILY at Black Excellence! If you are looking for quality care with a safe and fun environment, then this is the place for you!"
"First and foremost I am very comfortable with leaving my daughter in the hands of the daycare providers at Black Excellence. I thought I wouldn't be able to work comfortably and at peace because of the horror stories I hear in regards to other daycares. I'm able to communicate via with the providers if I need to and if they need to call me, they do so just to ensure my comfortability. I know that my daughter is in good hands because of her reaction when I drop her off."
"Black Excellence Child Care is one a kind. I've sent all three of my children here because it is a loving and caring environment that the kids all loved. My oldest is 13 and my youngest is 4 and they all loved the daycare. The staff is very polite and welcoming and your children will have a great head start getting ready for elementary school. Black Excellence Child Care is 10 out of 10 and i would high recommend to anyone to send their child."
"I've had the honor and privilege of watching the doors open at Black Excellence Child Care. As one of the employees/Grandma's, I must say that the children there are amazing. Their curriculum is designed to appeal to their eagerness to learn things such as the basic ABC's, 123's, Reading, Writing, Arithmetic, Exercising Sign Language, and most of all the Love of God, Good Moral Character, and the Love for one another."
"For the past 2 years, Layla has been welcomed at Black Excellence and my mind has been at ease as far as her childcare since day one. Everyday my daughter runs home and is always excited to tell me about her seemingly productive day. As a former stay at home mom, I have especially noticed Black Excellence's facilitation in the blossoming of my daughter. I enjoy and love her growth, and for that, we love our family at Black Excellence Child Care!"
"I'm so blessed to have found Black Excellence Child Care for my son who started when he was about 10 weeks old and stayed until preschool. My son adores Dena and all of her wonderful staff. I can trust and count on them to take care of my son without any instruction. I highly recommend Black Excellence Child Care to anyone who's looking for a family oriented and nurturing daycare."
My children have been attending Black Excellence since they were 8 months and 21 months and are now 2 and 3 years old. They have developed at an amazing rate and I have to give credit to the nurturing, loving, and positive environment that was created by “Auntie Dena”and her assistants. I bring my children everyday and head to work knowing that they are in good hands, and they are receiving an education that can’t be found just anywhere. I know that my children will be prepared for school when they become of age and I highly recommend Black Excellence Child Care for your childcare needs.”
"Patience & Love is my Experience with Black Excellence Child Care. My son is four years old, he’s been attending for three years now. Besides myself & his father the only FAMILY he knows is here. Everyone is so patient & kind and it is truly like having extended family members. As he approaches kindergarten, I’m excited but also sad. I’m so glad to say he’s reading at a third grade level or better. You guys are AMAZING!!!!"
"Our baby Donald started Black Excellence Child Care when he was 13 months!! I was so sad and so scared but I knew he would be in great hands & with amazing loving people because Dena herself is that. My baby lovessssss it & has learned SO MUCH. I truly appreciate Divine Daycare and the wonderful staff for everything and all the help with my baby. I would highly recommend any new mom who's scared and nervous and just any moms around. They're amazing!"
