Bright Scholars may be a good fit for families whose children easily adapt to structured classroom expectations. However, for children who need additional support adjusting to a school environment, the experience can be very concerning. Parents should be aware that if a child struggles with sitting still, following directions immediately, or navigating a classroom setting for the first time, they may find that the school lacks the resources and training necessary to effectively support those needs. Rather than working collaboratively to help children develop these skills, families may find themselves being called to pick up their child repeatedly. What was most concerning was hearing from administration that many teachers only possess high school diplomas. This raises important questions about the level of training being provided to staff, particularly in the area of behavior management and supporting young learners with diverse developmental needs. Dr. Mia Young, given your educational background and stated expertise in Educational Leadership, professional development, and staff training, I would hope to see stronger implementation of those principles within your organization. Effective behavior management, de-escalation strategies, and developmentally appropriate interventions should be fundamental components of staff training in an early childhood setting. Unfortunately, the challenges in this area were evident during the graduation ceremony on May 30, 2026. Watching staff respond to a scholar who clearly needed additional patience, guidance, and support was disheartening. Rather than demonstrating compassion and effective behavioral strategies, the situation highlighted what appeared to be significant gaps in training and preparedness. Every child deserves an educational environment where they are supported as they learn, grow, and develop the skills necessary to succeed. Schools should not only celebrate children who naturally fit into a structured environment, but also be equipped to help those who need extra encouragement, understanding, and care along the way.

My daughter is learning and socializing as you would expect in a day care which is a great thing. The room is clean and it seems the children wash their hands often, another great thing. For whom I've interacted with, staff wise, have always had a smile and/or have a pleasant greeting as I've walked through the building. There is a lunch lady that always high fives my daughter when we walk by her in the halls. The director has always been friendly while being professional. She is straight forward and quick with answers and help. They also use WatchMeGrow to be able to check on your little one with the cameras in the building and they use Tadpoles to communicate daily reports and send pictures of the students performing their curriculum. The building itself is brand new and feels that way. Clean and well maintained. The temperature in the building is always cool but not cold. Overall, for the service, it meets all what they say and what I think should be happening for my daughter and would recommend the school. We have the free half day program so I won't talk about service for the asking price. From my experience with my older daughter and searching around the prices are close or the same as any other day care I have search in the area. The last thing that I experience with and/or want to mention is getting in and out of the parking lot. Give yourself and extra 5-10 mins till you experience the traffic. This is not a deal breaker by any stretch of the imagination, this is a warning if you don't travel that area, often the traffic can stop you for quite a bit.

The negative things about the school: There is too much television, little academic preparation, and the teachers working with the 3- and 4-year-old children seem unprepared. They do not appear to have enough pedagogical experience and do not know how to handle the behavioral challenges that are normal at this age. There is also a lot of gossip among the teachers and a high turnover rate among teachers and assistants..

I've also called corporate and left voicemail and have never gotten a response either. Owning my own business, just out of integrity I would've at the very minimum have a response to keep the client long term. The day that I got there I should've known, I was taking the tour and overheard a conversation between the Director and a very upset client about treatment of their daughter by the teachers, the director's response wasnt very pleasant and I shouldve gone with my gut, but now I'm here trying to get at least a response from someone. Will update if this is resolved.

I cannot thank the staff enough for the way they work alongside parents to help develop truly amazing little humans who will go on to do great things in this world. While there may be other schools that look more aesthetically impressive, you simply cannot put a price on the love, care, and emotional intelligence provided at Academy for Kids. Mary is an incredible director who genuinely does everything she can to ensure the school succeeds and that the children are cared for properly. The atmosphere created by the staff goes far beyond basic childcare and education. If you are looking for a daycare where your child will not only learn what they need before kindergarten academically, but also learn kindness, respect, emotional growth, and how to be a good human beyond the classroom, this is the place.

It was convenient to drop off as they had early hours for someone (me) who lived in town but worked in Orlando. They had a unique check in and check out system. Parents weren't always welcomed to go back near classrooms to get their children - but as a teacher I understand that. They preferred to get your child themselves and drop off in the front lobby. My son had the same 2 teachers the whole time he was there and we continued our relationship with them outside of the school for many years. We loved Ms. Judy & Ms. Lori. We've lost touch now. They had many events planned throughout the summer there too. I see a few posted about the price of daycare, honestly maybe the price has gone up... but back in 2010-2013 it was affordable.
