Lack of professionalism from her part. No call, no letter, just take your kid and leave. Didn't have any protocol. Teachers were very lovely with my son but nothing good to say about the director.

The director was extremely nice, extremely understanding as well, and was always open to speak about anything (she always made time for every parent). Every teacher was easy to work with, understanding, and always made time to meet with parents to discuss the child's advances in the classroom. They also accommodate your kids needs accordingly, my son has a food allergy and they were able to accommodate his needs without making him feel different. I will definitely bring my future kids to this center. I recommend this school !

We were at…read moreKids adventure with a group of parents and happened to be here at the same time this school was here. This was a big group,but the three adults were keeping their eye out pretty well. However, the oldest teacher sat the entire time on her phone, looking through photos. Some kids got hurt here and there, but when one little girl fell on her head on the concrete the older teacher stayed on her phone and would not attend to her. We are watching this little girl cry while holding her head in pain and not was not being attended to. Furthermore, the teacher harshly said to the little girl "Sit down and rest, because this was your fault." If I was the parent of that child I would immediately take my child out of this school due to fear of safety and having no concern for my child when they would need it the most. If you would like details as to who this teacher was or if you are the parent of this school and are curious as to which child I am referring to, please reply with your email.

ou even care about your kids , DO NOT bring them to this sick crooked and ratchet school …read more Looking for a school that is SAFE , affordable and with extended hours is agreeable that it is hard to find. When I came to pumpkin shell I THOUGHT this was going to be a nice school with extra care for the kids due to the fact is a small place. Food and snacks were included in the tuition fee so I said "what a catch". My daughter started going there at 3 years old and became full potty trained . She did not need to use diapers as she now knew how to go to the bathroom on her own. I started experiencing signs of my daughter not wanting to pee or poop in school. She would come home everyday with her extra clothes I would pack in her bag or even still wet in her underwear when i would go pick her up. Teachers would tell me "she just had an accident " ... everyday? Weird. One day I spoke to Mrs Joanne about the situation since it had been about 2 weeks that she kept on with the same issue. Her response? "Oh my 6 yr old still pees in her pants if she doesn't feel comfortable peeing unless it's at home" RED FLAG . Taking it back a few weeks prior teachers would make me sign incident forms due to kids biting or scratching her . Teachers let me know a boy would be obsessed with my daughter and always want to be with her and he would never let my daughter be with the other kids. I told the teacher to make sure she plays with the girls and to NOT be around that little boy. The day I spoke to Mrs Joanne I told her about that boy and said I didn't like the way that boy is with my daughter and I PROHIBIT that boy from being close to my daughter. Her and three other teachers in the room Heard me and agreed to my decision. Fast forward to last week, my daughter kept peeing and pooping and now it became more serious as she did it at home too.. "I'm scared of the toilet" she says to me. I take her in to shower and she shows me something I've never seen her do before (touched her private area) and when I reacted immediately she got scared and closed off. I acted like it was a game and asked her who taught you that? She told me "school" I said .. who?? Teachers?? She said "no, the boy..." immediately I knew who she was talking about so I mentioned his name and she said yes . I then got my phone out and made a video of her explaining what happened and that BOY PUT HIS WHOLE HAND AND FINGER INSIDE OF MY 3 year OLD DAUGHTER!!! Worst part: daughter tells me "mom don't get mad at me" "teacher put j**** and me in time out" Immediately I lost my cool and I couldn't believe a fucking teaching saw my daughter getting abused and did nothing but put my child in time out . NEVER CALLED ME . NEVER LET ME KNOW NEVER CALLED THE KIDS PARENTS . That boy is still in that school and there will be a next victim and that could be your kid if you put them there . DCF AND POLICE are now involved but they are useless . Since it's a minor and minor situation. I'm leaving this review to avoid this from happening to anyone's kids . My daughter is now in therapy and so am I to be able to cope with this. She still talks about it so she defiantly is traumatized by the scenario. By the way. She is now in a new school and even her attitude has changed . She's less hyperactive and more calm. Also she used to talk back to me and now she has been getting better . That school and kids that go there clearly lack manners and Techera could care less to correct them WHILE inside their facility. Do yourself a favor. Do not take your kids here .

Unfortunately, I was taking my daughter there and to my dismay, I kept ignoring the RED FLAGS but I continued taking her there because the daycare was cheap and close to home. That old saying you pay for what you get has never been more than true! The director MS PEPER in nothing but super rude, loud, and abusive with the kids and the parents (she is a female Hitler). I and my wife have noticed her multiple times screaming and mocking kids in front of us because they can't speak correctly (mind you our daughter has a speaking delay) and we were concerned But today was the cherry on top, This is what happened. I and my daughter arrived at the daycare at 9:05 am and MS, PEPER came out screaming at me "YOU NEED TO BE HERE BEFORE 9! AND YOU DON'T FOLLOW THE RULES" I said, mam please calm down and don't scream in front of my daughter! Ms. Peper continued hollering at me and pulled my daughter from my arms yanking her away. I told her that I was her customer, and her reply was "AND SOOOOO?!?!?!" which left me shocked. I continued to tell her to stop screaming and her reply was "YOU ARE NOT MAN ENOUGH TO WITHSTAND A SCREAM FROM ME" and slammed the door in my face. All of this happened because I was 5 minutes late. WTH!!! To say the least RUNNNN AWAYYY from this place, it is not worth it. The rude and unprofessionalism of the staff at this place is completely unacceptable. Read other reviews from other parents and you will find that her abuse goes far and beyond what happened today. I ended up not going to work today and spent the whole day switching my daughter from daycare. Again, I can't say it enough RUNNNN AWAYYY from CREATIVE YEARS if you love your children!!!!!!!

I first heard about South Miami Lutheran Church Preschool over 10 years ago when my nephews attended in their early years. I remember the activities, the music shows, the wholesomeness of their Thanksgiving celebration. I planted that location in my mind when it came time to start my own family. My husband and I tried for children for so many years before we were finally graced with the miracle of our sons. In all honesty we were frazzled that parenthood didn't arrive to us with a handbook, but we took a sigh of relief when we stepped onto the premises of SMLCS and met Ms Ana in the baby room. Ms Ana seemed to embody the wisdom of a thousand motherhoods; she comforted us with her kindness, her experiences, her advice. There is nothing like knowing your precious baby is in good hands. Our boys have had so many teachers and aides that have laid the foundation of who my children are today. The social skills, the curiosity, the confidence, the love of learning are priceless gifts that SMLCS have given us. There are so many to thank but amongst them a special shout out to Ms Ana, Ms Ana V, Ms Yanet, Ms Yesenia, Ms Yona, Ms Vero (bebe), Ms Leticia, Ms Cari, Ms Maria, Ms Claudia, Ms Lisa, Ms Lexi, Ms Jessi, and Ms Alicia. So many of you have a special place in our hearts and the memories you have made and shared with our children is something I will cherish always. This location for childcare is like a best kept secret. The playgrounds are magical. The summer program makes me want to skip work and find a time machine. The teachers are incredible, patient, nurturing, and understanding. I appreciate the office staff (especially for keeping me sane! Two boys 15 months apart is not easy); Thank you Ms Ira, Ms Mariceli, and Ms Laura. In closing, if are looking for childcare in Miami with a central location, teachers and staff that CARE and LOVE your children, and ease of mind, look no further than South Miami Lutheran Church School.
