Midsouth’s Premier Preschool Academies started out in a church with Raven’s grandmother, then her mother took it over and helped it grow. Raven worked there through college and took over the operations and expansion to the 7 locations that it is today. Raven Marshall Lewis has also been recognized locally by Curtis Givens as one of the 30 most successful and top business owners around Memphis, TN. Raven has an enormous heart and is always going above and beyond for each of the 7 centers, staff and kids and families through extracurricular activities, i.e. dances, graduations, and other yearly holiday events.

"My name is Tykia Dubose. I have 3 children that attend Klassy Kids Academy. I started out with just one that needed transportation to and from school and I called and spoke with Mr. Chris and he told me to come and fill out papers. I then transferred my daughter from another preschool to Klassy Kids Academy, because I saw how great of a center they had. Every day I came in to drop off and pick up my kids, I left feeling like I was as a family member's home. I then had a newborn and they take very good care of him. I would recommend this center to everyone. I gained a family with this center."Emilea Dupree, Parent

"My name is Emilea Dupree and my daughter Morgan Warner has been attending Klassy Kids Academy since mid-June 2021. I moved up here from Jackson, MS and Klassy Kids Academy was one of several childcare centers I visited to place my daughter who was 3 years old at the time. I was immediately welcomed here and the atmosphere was wonderful. I was introduced to the director and assistant director. They showed us around their facility and I was introduced to their teaching staff and was immediately impressed with the curriculum. To sum it all up, I felt very comfortable and at home. That was very important to me, especially since we were from out of state. Morgan excelled here and was valedictorian of her 2023 Pre-K Class. I highly recommend Klassy Kids Academy for early childhood development and education." Anetta Fields, Parent

My kids and I love this preschool!Kim, Parent
★★★★★
"Love, love, love this preschool! If I could give them 10 stars, I would. Started potty training my 2-year-old without me asking. Told me to put her in underwear without me suggesting it. Shes' completely potty trained now. The teachers teach those babies so much. My daughter speaks so well. Never last minute anything. I made a good choice."Taylor, Parent
★★★★★
"I absolutely love this center. My baby has been going here since she was 1 and she is now 3. They are very clean and nice. They understand you and will care for your child like he or she is their own. My baby loves her teachers, they are always nice and loving. I highly recommend this center to anyone. I hate my baby will be leaving there soon for kindergarten. She will most definitely be an after schooler. "Brenda, Parent
★★★★★
"I love the staff and I love that my son actually is learning something everyday. Communication between the staff and parents is also great!"
