    First days of school
    Erika A.

    This preschool is no ordinary day care. The staff is actually happy to be there, always striving to make sure the child and parent is at ease. During my son's first week there they sent me plenty of photos to keep me calm and reassured. They have a fun filled curriculum that enhances the child's social skills and motor functions. You get a daily report of how your child did, ate, and behaved. This preschool is the best in Kendall!

    Awwwwwwww little kiddies are so fun to watch play, interact, and learn! You could just gobble them…read moreup! gobble! gobble! gobble! I went here today to observe a class for school - and this place is in a very odd location. It is in a shopping center next to Bonefish Grill, Starbucks, Wing Stop and other stores... I guess that is the new thing now these days to have preschools in shopping centers because I see them popping up all over. I tried walking in and both doors were locked, which is a great sign because not just any one can walk in, and no kid can walk out. When the secretary let me in she was very friendly, and greeted me and remembered my name and that I was coming in today. She showed me the classroom I would be in, and introduced me to the two teachers I would be observing. The two teachers were very sweet, and on top of everything. The classrooms are very colorful, have the students work on the walls, reminders for parents - allergy list - birthday - ABC's - 123 - the works, and this was all in jungle themed. Super cute! The structure of the classroom was fabulous, the teachers, and other staff was fabulous, and the kiddies by the end got me to help them play dress up and put a tiara on my head. If I had a child I would definitely place them in this preschool because of the many activities they do, and how the teachers interact with the students. =]

They are both great. I was so pleased with the teacher!! Very attentive and caring towards the children. My child was a crier. Every time I walked in she was walking around holding her hand. While tending to other children. Made sure that my child was not sitting alone crying. In about a week my child was done with the crying and enjoying herself. A little happy hippo! LOL

    Mommy of a 15 month old babygirl…read more Let me begin by emphasizing that my husband is extremely hands on with our daughter he doesn't miss a single doctors appointment or activity she does 95% of the time. Education and social development are extremely important to him and I. That being said he doesn't believe in school under the age of 3. That all changed after our tour at KLA with Eileen (not sure if the spelling is correct). We arrived and first impression was amazing. You first have to walk through TWO doors to reach the children's hallway. The staff greets EVERY parent and student by name. The facility is spotless and it seems every corner has items to make your child think. We saw the outdoor space, art room, and classrooms all amazing. The instructors seemed very hands on with every child. Classrooms were setup prior to children returning from recess with the activity they would be performing that day (very organized). And everyone we met was super patient especially Eileen, she answered every single question in a way that did not feel rushed and you could tell she had a great passion for KLA. When the tour ended she even invited us to return for a mommy and me class so we could get a better feel how a child's day at school would go. This is what sealed the deal for my husband. The classroom we observed was interactive, engaging and most importantly felt SAFE. We asked if we could step out for 5 mins to see what it would feel like to leave our child alone with unfamiliar people. We were permitted to observe from a window. Clearly our babygirl cried.. the instructor comforted her and read her a book and the tears were gone within 3 mins. Nothing during our mock trail felt forced or fake it seemed genuine. Parents walking the hallway were smiling, one even told us they love the school for their children. We met with the director and were given prices.. to be honest the monthly fee is expensive compared to other school we have toured. However, when you experience the KLA culture, the staff and community the tuition becomes priceless when our child's development is on the line. She hasn't started and won't till the new school year but so far Eileen has made a profound impression on our family and we have never felt so confident in our decision. At the end of the school year I will review again on the progress our babygirl has made. THE BEST IS YET TO COME :)

She knows the pledge of allegiance, numbers, letters, colors, and is finishing out pre K reading a few words. I know she is safe here and I am sad that she has grown out of the school. I would keep her here if the grades went higher. Pamela and Ayleen are super caring and attentive to any inquiries and called me to update me on my child when the drop off was difficult and emotional. I am so glad this school exists and glad this was my child's first school experience.

Little Champs has a complete classroom and play Gym with Rock Climbing Wall, Monkey Bars, Balance Beam and a lot of other obstacle courses made for toddlers. Little Champs offers Baby and Me Classes, Preschool, Homework Help, Day Camps on school holidays, Day Camps during Holiday weeks and even Parents Night out! All of the classes are super structured and the place is extremely maintained and clean. My son who is in Pre-K4 has been coming here for homework help and he has been doing amazing in his sight of words and spelling tests. The owner has a PhD in Developmental Psychology so she super knowledgeable in working with Babies and Child Development. All of the teachers are extremely kind and patient. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a place for maybe drop off their kids on School Holidays or Homework help!

I was really surprised to see how much I got out of the classes here. Ms. Krystal is amazing, just like every other teacher here. The attention and care is superb. She really helped with the development of my baby by using exploration of sensory play, gym time, and singing. My son loved interacting with the other babies his age and is always so happy to walk into the classroom. They helped my son reach each developmental milestones and encouraged early walking. The classroom as well as the gym space is very clean. I highly recommend this program to any moms or dads looking to take a class with their little one. The school does free events almost every other month. Definitely suggest trying this place out. You won't regret it. Tengo tantas cosas buenas que decir sobre este lugar. Originalmente solo estaba buscando una clase de mamá y yo para salir de la casa "pospandemia". Me sorprendió mucho ver la calidad de las clases aquí. Maestra Krystal es increíble, al igual que cualquier otro profesor aquí. La atención y el cuidado son excelentes. Ella realmente ayudó con el desarrollo de mi bebé utilizando la exploración del juego sensorial, la hora del gimnasio y el canto. A mi hijo le encantó interactuar con los otros bebés de su edad y siempre está muy feliz de entrar en el aula. Ayudaron a mi hijo a alcanzar cada hito del desarrollo y alentaron a caminar temprano. El aula y el espacio del gimnasio están muy limpios. Recomiendo este programa a cualquier madre o padre que busque tomar una clase con su pequeño. La escuela hace eventos gratuitos casi cada dos meses. No te arrepentirás.

    I am forever grateful for the KinderCare at Deerwood. Over 25 years ago, I entrusted my three…read morechildren to their care, and now my grandson is thriving in their outstanding program. The longevity and dedication of the staff are truly remarkable--when I enrolled my grandson, I went to register him with my now 27-year-old son, and Ms. Roz, who taught my son decades ago, immediately recognized him. Ms. Ellie, the director, has grown with the center from an entry-level position to her current leadership role, which speaks volumes about the positive environment and staff retention. I have complete confidence that my grandson is safe, well-cared for, and genuinely loved by his teachers. He is excelling academically--already beginning to read at age four--and I credit KinderCare for his impressive progress. The communication from the center is excellent. Ms. Ellie is always responsive, approachable, and goes above and beyond to address any questions, even after hours. She listens carefully and clearly takes great pride in her work, which is reflected in the nurturing atmosphere she helps create. KinderCare at Deerwood is truly exceptional, and I highly recommend them to any family seeking a caring, high-quality early learning environment. The center also offers wonderful additional programs, such as a cooking class that teaches valuable life skills--I recently signed my grandson up and am excited for him to participate. This program is worth every penny spent. The outcome is the best investment I have ever made.

I called kindercare and Ellie, the director, was always there to support me and answer any questions I had. She assured me they would treat my daughter as one of their own and make sure she was comfortable before making any drastic changes. I was scared to switch her to a new daycare but it was the best decision ever. From her first day in Kindercare, she was eating, drinking her milk, she looks so happy when picking her up, it's so clear that the attention and care she's getting here is what she needed. They've helped her learn to walk, say her first words and she is now transitioning to the toddler class. Everyone from Ellie (the director) to all of her teachers are amazing, down to earth, and so nurturing and loving. You won't regret putting your child here, nothing more important than knowing your baby is being loved and well taken care of every day. - They cook their food there daily, have several playgrounds for the different age groups, and are very secure with two different doors that require a code to go inside. The director is always there and always answers the phone for anything you need.

When picking up your kid you must go to the front office and sign the them out. Teachers will not release a kid if you don't have the slip from the front office. Very convenient/accessible location with plenty of spaces to park. Playground is spacious, classroom sizes are decent. Again back to the teachers we had Miss Juany and Miss patty during the day , our little little ones classrooms were 2 doors down from each other so drop off and pick up was easy. For after school care they were with Miss Kiki , also very nice and welcoming. Here is what I didn't like: the food..... Morning and afternoon snack which is included in tuition, not the best snack selection and didn't see milk as part of either snacks. Lunch is not included in the tuition. For us it was this was very difficult bc our kids are used to warm meals. My suggestion: buy a Thermos to store the lunch so that it will stay warm ( eating sandwiches every day can get boring ), and even with the thermos lunch was a mission. Also didn't see milk as part of either morning or afternoon snack. Again my 6 and 4 year old are used to drinking milk in the morning and with the afternoon snack. So I had to pack 2 lunch boxes per kid : one for the snack and one for the lunch. As far as summer activities go there could have been a little more movement. In four weeks of camp not one field trip, and for the price we paid this was not worth it . Again....teachers are great. If you are looking for a place that has good security and has loving caring individuals for your little ones then this is the place. As far as the curriculum goes I can't comment on this because we have only used the facility for summer camp. But From what I hear from the other moms it is good.

Ms. Tammy has been an absolutely wonderful teacher. She makes me feel completely comfortable leaving Asher in her care, and I have true peace of mind knowing she will follow my preferences and always do what is best for him. Her kindness, patience, and dedication shine through in everything she does. What means the most to me is that she genuinely loves and cares for Asher as if he were her own. I also want to recognize Ms. Mildred, who cares for Asher in the mornings and spends so much time with him as well. She is equally amazing, caring, attentive, and loving.

As a parent, there is nothing more valuable than feeling confident that your child is safe, loved, and happy.
