I do not recommend this Daycare/Preschool to anyone in the Miami Fl area. My 2 year old daughter was mistreated, she was full of scratches in her neck area, she also was complaining of hits to her head. After asking for video footage I witnessed the employee demonstrating very rough and brutally behavior towards my daughter. The employee remains working at the school, she was NOT suspended nor terminated. Director confirmed and acknowledged the teachers behavior and did not do anything about it. I feel bad for the children in that school. Anywhere I stand I will Publicly give the Worse rating to this school. Any parent that is in the SW/West Kendall area Do Not Consider this school. In order to rate I have to put a Star they don't even deserve that One Star. HORRIBLE DAYCARE.
This portion below has been added on October 12, 2017 in response to the comment the director of Children's Paradise Academy :
This incident did not happen a long time ago as the director is stating this happened on February 9th 2017. I would have expected more from this school as it is in a very well known area. Nothing happend, it was brushed off as if my daughter had no values. It is very easy to brush things off when things aren't done to your own children. My daughter became very paranoid and nervous after this horrible experience. DCF decided to dismiss the case because their wasn't an actual hit to my daughter they considered it "hard handling" and unfortunately that doesn't fall under child abuse. The director herself admitted that the teacher was very rough and indeed she had received complaints from other parents stating that the teacher is very strong charactered. Don't try to justify your teachers actions, her actions were despicable and disgusting, I understand this is your business and my ratings can affect your revenue but this is the least I can do to support my daughters rights. And the fact that woman continues to teach in your school and God knows treating those poor innocent children in her cold hearted brutally character. I am lucky that my daughter at such young age was able to communicate to me the harm that was done. The day this happened and I picked up my daughter, that woman made sure to put a jacket on her and zip it to the top in order to disguise the scratches. I as a very observant mother noticed the scratches immediately as they were on her upper area of her neck. Till this day almost eight months ago, we drive on Bird Road and my daughter points towards that facility and says "mommy no not there that's scary". It was a disgusting situation, I don't wish this upon my worst enemy. Children's Paradise is definitely no Paradise. They sell themselves as loving, caring, warm individuals, but the truth is they are the complete opposite.
What a coincidence that all the positive reviews are coming in in the same day ? That says a lot, wow that goes to show you the brains these people have. My original review was made August 31st 2017, apparently the director noticed it yesterday October 11th 2017 and now she alerted all her fellow colleagues, family & friends. Now everyone is giving this daycare a 5 star rating? Doesn't take a rocket scientist to know it was a set up.
And in response to the review after mine, reason DCF didn't close this facility was because as you can see I mentioned it wasn't an actual hit therefore it wasn't considered child abuse, they considered it hard handling. And the teacher didn't go to prison because I didn't call the police, I should have. Hard handling is sufficient for me to pull my daughter from this horrible facility. I have all the pictures and DCF documentations. Once again parents if you are reading this please keep in mind all the positive reviews came in on the same day with hours apart from each other, it's a confirmation that it was a set up to justify the horrible care this facility offers.
October 13th 2017 : apparently the this school noticed my original review from August 2017 on October 11th 2017 and all of a sudden their was over five positive reviews made on this school hours apart. But as I called them out on it. They of course were DELETED. These people are definitely not the sharpest tool in the shed. Sickening.
Not a good place for Children to be cared for. read more
