My child was supposed to go to school here. I was really excited because I had heard so many good…read morethings about charter schools. I am very disappointed with the way the whole open house/ meet the teacher night went. I really don't want to tell it as a story because I don't think my personal feelings should be included and just state what happened. 1. Was told when arrived to look at a bunch of sheets taped to a window, with no explanation of what I was looking at and no one was there to help. 2. Was given wrong directions by staff twice, causing a walk around entire buildings to find a room that was literally around the corner. 3 . I got to the room walked in and found a group sitting at a small table talking, no one acknowledged me or asked if I needed anything after I stood there a while, I left. 4 . I walk around and find the lunch room, which no one told me I had to go to before going to the classroom. 5. Three stations set up. Car rider number sign up. Selling of agendas and lanyards. Sign up for p.t.o. There was a table with forms and someone taking cash only for after school care. 6. No one had any information on bus schedule, here was no sign up. 7. No one had any information on any of the clubs listed on the website for after school. 8. When I get back to the class with my child we were not greeted. Eventually, my child set to play with a puzzle. I finally was acknowledged, 9. Teacher had no information prepared. Not even seating assignment. Nothing was explained by her and when asked questions either she did not know or responded with short vague answers. 10. Teacher made no attempt to meet my child finally I brought my child to the table and introduced her. There was no warmth or anything asked to make my child aquainted with the teacher. 11. The teacher mostly spoke Spanish to parents, leaving out those that spoke only English. 12. Found out this teacher did not speak English til a year and a half ago. 13. Teacher mispronounces words. For example she said she would check the "rooster" instead of roster. 14. Spoke to her about helping out in her class because she stated she had 22 to 25 kids and no assistant...and she declined, stating she had over 35 kids in her last class. I left out many things that I feel are small and could be lived with, that are just personal pet peeves. All in all this experience was very disappointing.

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.

My son attended here from the age of 2 all the way to 5. I had no major complaints, no place is…read moreperfect by any means. 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. Your paying someone to take care of your child, I think a price increase would be understandable.
