I've recently become a stay at home mom and I'm looking for more to do in the Clearwater area. A…read morefriend recommended the aquarium which I somehow had never been to! Well it turns out it's much more economical to be a member so we splurged on the 4-person membership for around $240. The staff is all super nice. It was a weekday so rather than paying $14 for parking (members only pay $7 with validation) we found free street parking. My 4 year old loved the touching tank upon entry and we learned about how lobsters shed their shells. It's a mixture of old and new structures so it can get confusing to navigate but we figured it out for the most part. Another favorite was the stingray area as well because you can get wet. I personally couldn't locate the otters but I will make it my mission next time. Lots of scheduled presentations! I think we will find plenty of reasons to come back. I noticed they also have a food court. Would love to see some sort of splash pad addition like at the one in Tampa. There is a cute waterfront playground just a stone's throw away!

Which turned out to be a caveat because apparently today was a day everybody decided to come to the aquarium. If you didn't already know this is where "Dolphims Tale" emanated from. Florida is and has always been dedicated to the preservation and rescue and Rehabilitation of the marine species and environment. The drive out here is something.

We are beyond grateful for this hitting academy and the incredible coaches. My son is 7 years old…read moreand had really only played T-ball before coming here, but the growth we've seen in such a short time has been amazing--not just in his skills, but in his confidence and love for baseball. He absolutely loves the summer camp and the one-on-one lessons. He gets excited every single time we're on the way, especially knowing he'll get to see Coach Pete. That excitement alone speaks volumes. Thanks to the coaches, he now has a better stance, a stronger and more confident swing, and--most importantly--a real motivation to play and improve. Coach Devin and Coach Billy have been phenomenal with him: patient, encouraging, and great at meeting him at his level while still pushing him to grow. This academy has truly helped spark a passion for the game in my son, and as a parent, that means everything. We are so thankful for the time, care, and dedication these coaches put into their kids. Highly recommend to any family looking to build both skills and confidence in young players.

He felt very out of place as everyone else was already a well established player. He didn't feel like the adults monitored things and felt pushed around by the more seasoned players. He did mention the owner was away the week he went. We paid for the after care - but he sat on bleachers not talking to anyone day after day. He asked me to share so other families can make sure their child has a good experience here and goes in with eyes open.

Except to show our friends how great it is that we have the option.

In this short period, our 4 year old came home with bruising on his face twice from a teacher's child, a black eye from the same child, and was terrified to go to school because he was screamed at daily by his teachers. We witnessed and reported this abuse to the director and corporate do no avail. The physical altercations between the kids and verbal abuse from teachers is dismissed as normal behavior. There is no structured learning or play throughout the day and this leads to zero control over the classroom and children. Less concerning, but still notable, is the lack of purposeful, thoughtful learning such as artwork, writing prompts, or reading. In 4 months, our 4 year old practiced writing twice at school. The school prints coloring pages and this is the art. We do supplemental writing workbooks, reading exercises, painting, and practice using scissors after school because our child is falling behind academically. This concern was also dismissed stating that, "they will learn all of that in VPK." I will not comment on the VPK program because our kid did not attend it. However, we moved our child to a new daycare before VPK because he was terrified of the VPK teacher's behavior and abusive disciplinary actions. The lack of classroom structure, daily physical altercations between the kids, verbal abuse from teachers, no academic standards, and dismissal of these concerns were astounding. I deeply regret selecting La Petite Academy. Another point of note: They offer discounts to families for 5-star reviews. The only 5-star classroom is the infant classroom where the teachers are tenured and professionally trained to create a loving, nurturing, and calm environment.
