As a parent, I don't take leaving a one-star review lightly, but I believe other families deserve…read moreto know about my experience.
Throughout my son's time in the daycare and VPK, I noticed what I felt was inconsistent treatment between students. My son came home on multiple occasions with scratches, bruises, and bumps, yet I was often NOT provided with an incident report or asked to sign any documentation explaining what had happened. However, when my son was involved in an incident with another child, I was promptly notified and required to sign an incident report. As a parent, I found that inconsistency very concerning (almost discriminatory)
The daycare raised enough concerns about my son's behavior that I requested a behavioral specialist through the State of Florida in December 2025 to observe him in his classroom. After that observation, I felt reassured that my son was not the problem I had been led to believe. Instead it was suggested that changes be made to their teaching and praising methods. After which, instead of working with me to address my concerns, I felt that my relationship with the administration became increasingly strained.
Whenever I asked questions about my son's treatment or injuries, I often felt dismissed rather than supported. At one point, I was told by Yvonne that I was "constantly being difficult" simply for advocating for my child. Every parent has the right to ask questions when their child comes home injured, and those concerns should be met with professionalism and respect.
My experience with the new front office staff was disappointing. I found communication to be unprofessional, confrontational, and at times disrespectful. Rather than feeling like we were working together in my son's best interest, I often felt judged for asking reasonable questions.
The final incident that confirmed my concerns occurred after my son graduated VPK. I asked if he could attend summer camp for only three weeks and was told that partial enrollment was not allowed and that he would have to attend the entire summer. Later, another parent inquired about enrolling a child of the same age for the same length of time and was told that one- or two-week enrollment was available. That inconsistency left me questioning whether families were being treated equally.
Every child deserves the same level of care, attention, and fairness. Every parent deserves honest communication and respectful treatment. Unfortunately, that was not my experience, and for those reasons, I cannot recommend this daycare.
