Mrs Shruti is the best teacher and I highly recommend her to anyone. Both of our kids have learned a lot there and had a lot of fun with their friends. We'll be sad to leave in upcoming weeks as our youngest will be moving onto kindergarten. We appreciate everything the staff and teachers have done over the last 3 years with both of our children.

Great school with a great staff of leaders and educators. We originally moved to Saint Cloud so our…read moredaughter could attend Saint Cloud Prep Academy. That school is fairly new and after a few short months we realized it was not where it needed to be. Our daughter was spending her days coloring instead of being challenged academically. She is 6 yrs old but attended Lady bird academy since she was 2. Reading and writing by 3. Our neighbors told us about the public school we were zoned for and we were initially reluctant but knew we had to make a change for her sake. We couldn't be more pleased with this school and her educators. She had an amazing school year last year and is all set for the start of this years. She is challenged and enjoys going to school again.

Academy for Kids is by far the best daycare in Osceola County. I typically do not prefer corporate…read moredaycare centers, but Academy for Kids in St. Cloud is the exception. 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.

Hope has taken the time to get to know my son and provides him with the individualized care and support that he needs while also providing a fun classroom environment where the kids can learn while sharing, playing and communicating. We absolutely love it here!

Amazing school. Small. Focused on academics. Administrators do not tolerate behavioral issues. My…read moretwo children attended last year. I'm so impressed. The administration and teachers work hard at preparing the children for college while providing a safe space for them to learn and grow. Before relocating to FL I paid for my children to attend a Christian school. I'm so happy I found New Dimensions. Now I can save the tuition I used to pay and use it for their college tuition. This school is a God Sent and a blessing. I'm forever grateful!!

The positive outlook that this school has is phenomenal! The kids don't want to leave school They love it here. We will miss you, all the teachers and Mrs. Fio So much. Her teachers were amazing, Mrs. Marlene Alcius and Mrs. Tanya Castillo, so amazing You have all prepared my daughter Hannah for Kindergarten with so much love, care and professionalism. Hannah, loves you so much and we looked to take a picture of you but you were inside, I believe. You are so caring and such a blessing from God Thank you so much for everything. Everything was perfect on her drive-through graduation. We have so much gratitude and pray and hope that many kids can attend this wonderful school, so that their lives will be touched as much as ours was. Hannah had an amazing time and as said before, we will miss you all so much.

Teachers are good at what they do. It's very structured, but children eventually adapt to it. My…read morechild learned a lot here. As for the assessments, I can see where their expectations are a bit too high, rigid, and uniform. I wouldn't feed into it too much. I did at first and became discouraged, which created a stressful environment for my child at home. But then I quickly realized that every child learns differently and at different times and that is OK. 1 star because there's none whatsoever loyalty or appreciation. You're just a dollar sign. Their policies are rigid and they refuse to work with you in any way. They rather lose your business altogether than try to work with you. Obviously every place has policies, I'm not arguing that but simple things such as picking your child up one minute (literally one minute) late only one time in 2 years....or increasing pricing last minute because they decided to implement an unreasonable summer schedule. There's just no real sense of appreciation or loyalty there. And that's important too. I would have paid had they handled it better, but they didn't. I never got an apology for the inaccurate information I was given, not even a reply to my email to them. Nothing. Says a lot when a business is willing to lose you as a customer altogether rather than work with you. Unfortunate because I was a loyal customer for 3+ years.

When they don't allow parents in the classroom, it makes you wonder what is really going on in the back. Completely disorganized. From the teachers to the director, everyone has something different to say as to what is going on in the "school". Feels much more like a daycare. Very high turnover rate. Not a good experience from day 1. From my instincts, if something doesn't feel right, it usually isn't. Take forewarning.

I have never left them with anyone outside of immediate family, and even then, there were a select few with strict privileges. I wasn't crazy about the busy location at first, however once I stepped inside- wow! They have put our kids learning at the forefront of their minds! They are allowed to play with slime, water, birdseed, paint.... everything I WANT my kids to play with but it's in a controlled environment so I don't have to worry about it destroying my house. ; ) They have lesson plans and meal plans (geared towards our kids and homemade ) and the sisters who run this facility, along with all of the teachers I have met, are top notch. I love their reasons for starting this daycare, i love their interactions with my shy children and I love the comfort level they give me as a parent leaving their child for the first time. I drive 53 mInutes a day to take my kids here, and I will do it every day to get this level of care!

I enrolled both of my kids at Building Blocks Academy for 5 days and that was clearly a mistake…read more The directors are rude, have zero understanding, and little to no technique for problem solving. Amani's teacher was discribed by my 4 year old as "mean". I came to the office this morning and expressed a concern about how his teacher actually spoke to ME. If this lady is talking to me in that tone or manner, as an adult that can speak clearly and intelligently, I can only imagine how she speaks to my son. None the less, never lost my cool, spoke to her in the same tone she spoke and walked to the office and told the director what happened. All owners, directors, and a worker, not only bypassed my concern but their attitude was so nonshalant about it. Even later said "well do we teach our kids that when someone is mean to you you are to be mean back?, you shouldn't have spoke to her like that back." Whaaaat? Sorry not sorry I teach them to treat people the way they treat you plus I pay you hun, you respect me and my child. I couldn't help but get upset. I left the kids to go home and look for other centers and not even an hour later, I get a call from ELC AND them saying they DE ENROLLED my kids and today would be their last day. In 5 days I saw a lot I didn't like, such as this morning in Damian's 2/3 year old class, there's a child with special needs on the lap of the assistant teacher, they were sitting on the floor but he kept throwing himself backwards, she was telling him to stop, but like with her teeth clinched, so when he didn't stop she plopped his legs off her, said "get off me" and grabbed another child to put on her lap. I was like wow... Told them that; surprise, surprise! they didn't care about that either. Ha. So now, I believe these teachers do what they want with your kids whether they enjoy their job or not and if they kiss enough ass they keep their jobs, if not they probably boot em. Hopeful that most of them like what they do... No idea, all I know is that if you don't mind people getting a little out of tone with you, talking to your kids in any kind of way they feel like or being disrespected then go for it. Does have a great ciriculum, however, this place handles situations way out of hand and has no respect for parents that pay in advance, has not been late once yet and is brand new to the place. Not to mention, I had to leave work early the other day because they didn't know how or couldn't figure out how to handle or console my 2 YEAR OLD. They seemed upset they had to stop what they were doing to help the teacher take care of him. Day 2, his teacher just threw him in a corner by himself after she thought I left because he was crying and when I came back down she looked spooked. I didn't even say anything at that point, I just tried to work with them so he would be better and not have to be dealt with in that manner. I'm so upset how today was handled. My kids were removed from their school because their teacher didn't know how to speak politely and then took offense when spoken to in the same manner. They said a parent was in the class, called to complain, but that's funny how did a parent call to complain when all kids were supposed to be there by 9am? No one was in front of me, no one was in the room, and no one was behind us. So they lied to ELC stating they had a parent complain and the whole class was terrified of me, but said to me when I mentioned I'd lose my voucher if I couldn't find a facility within the allotted period.. "I know and called with that thought in mind." .. Lovely, how petty. Everything happens for a reason I guess, but this place is horribly ran and will tell you all their reviews are for building blocks academy 2.... right. I BET they are, however all the bad reviews have your buildings picture on them or described the cypress garden center's exact mannerisms and behaviors. NEVER would I recommend this place.

My son's developmental growth is beyond imaginable. He loves to learn, he communicates his learning, and applies it at home. I am beyond satisfied with the food service, the childcare service, the vpk service, and the transportation service provided to my children. I will always be beyond grateful to all of you Marilu, Alexandra, Camila, Lissy, Luz, Ywanka, and all of the other teachers involved.
