I wanted to love this place. I toured it. Then I saw what happens when nobody thinks a parent is…read morewatching. I had my heart set on this daycare for my son. I researched dozens of centers before narrowing it down to this one. I want that on the record, because I did not walk in looking for problems. Over two days I spoke with three different staff members, including the Director. Ask the same question three times, get three different answers. The phone lines don't work. The Director is always "in a meeting and unavailable" -- unfortunate, since she appears to be the only person who can quote a price, and prices and discounts seem to be set at her discretion. On my tour I was told one thing about multiple-child households. The next day, I was told something different. At one point I called and asked, specifically, not to be disconnected or given another "we'll call you back in five minutes." They'd promised that same five minutes two hours earlier, then called and I missed it by three minutes. I called right back. The Director was in a meeting. Then I was informed that the staff member handling my call told her [Director] that I was angry about not getting a call back. That is not what I said. I said I'd been given the run-around and would like to be connected, please. And the Director magically became available. Thats not even the best part - On my tour I was told this is a positive-feedback center. No time-outs. No hitting. Their words. While I was standing there, a child sat in the lobby on time-out, not allowed back into the classroom. And I watched a teacher hit another child over the head with a rolled-up paper. They told me it doesn't happen while it was happening in front of me. I withdrew my application. They will tell you what you want to hear, and they get an attitude with anyone who questions it. If that's what they do with a parent standing in the room, ask yourself what the rest of the day looks like.

Very disappointed with this school. The staff and teachers do not seem to know how to properly…read moremanage the kids or provide a good learning environment. Most of the time, the children just sit around playing with toys instead of actually learning anything educational. There also seems to be a lot of teacher turnover, which says a lot about how the school is run. The staff appear unorganized and inexperienced, and communication is poor. I would not recommend this school to other parents looking for quality childcare or education for their children.

I noticed that my child was treated with respect and love; and that was so important to me in this stage of her life. Yes, it is a bilingual place, their English is not fluent, but they try to give you their best. My little one dealt with other kids from different cultures, and now she knows about diversity, and for me it's a BIG BLESSING. In my case, my baby didn't have any experience before in Day Care, I was so scared, but when I hear my little one singing songs, waking up every morning happy, and finishing her program more confident and enthusiastic; I can recommend this place 100% for sure. Ms. Patricia you're THE BEST TEACHER EVER, thank you for being the light in my baby's life.

I normally do not write bad reviews on businesses but my experience at this preschool was horrible…read more When I went to the school nobody I spoke with speaks good English to where I could be understood and I could understand them. If someone at the school did speak good English they did not refer me to speak with them. The schools location is great and my child tried out one of the classes. He seemed to really like the feel of the class. Overall I was not able to enroll my child in this school due to communication and feeling like the staff did not care about my concerns. I was extremely disappointed with how me and my child's needs were handled. If you do not speak Spanish I do not think this is the school for you and your family.

This was a direct violation of their own signed Positive Guidance Approach policy, which states that before expulsion, teachers and management "will work together with families" to resolve behavioral issues. In the email, they claimed that "While we understand that children at this age can use inappropriate or exaggerated language, statements of this nature are treated with the utmost seriousness in any school setting--public or private--and constitute grounds for immediate termination of enrollment to protect the safety and well-being of staff and students." This statement is legally incorrect. Even public schools require due process before expulsion. "Immediate termination" without due process is strictly reserved for imminent physical dangers--such as bringing a weapon to school or severe physical violence. This reminds us of another incident at their academy: our child was bitten by another child, leaving two significant, complete bite marks on his body. That was actual physical violence resulting in documented injury -- objectively more serious than any verbal statement from a 3‑year‑old. After that incident, the child who bit our child was not expelled. When our child -- without any prior intervention or collaboration with our family as required by their policy -- said something inappropriate, they expelled him immediately. This selective enforcement raises legitimate questions about whether their policies are applied fairly and consistently to all children. After that, they agreed to meet on April 28, 2026, and promised a partial refund in writing, stating we would receive it within 5‑10 business days. It has now been nearly two months since they committed to issuing a refund. However, that refund never came. We asked several times -- which card it was refunded to and when it was issued. They ignored us, and only on the fourth request, when we said we would file a complaint if they could not provide proof, did they finally respond immediately -- with a backdated document. They claimed the refund was issued on April 24, 2026 -- four days BEFORE the April 28 meeting where they promised a refund. How can a refund be issued before it was even promised? Moreover, the document also says "Credit Card Refund." But we were not allowed to pay tuition by credit card. Also, the document shows a statement period of June 15-21, 2026 -- a future date range at the time it was created. This document was clearly backdated. Meanwhile, they accused us of "harassment" and "threatening language," issued a "cease and desist" order, demanding that we never contact them again and threatening to "seek legal relief if necessary," cutting off any further dialogue regarding the refund they had promised. Stating an intent to file a complaint with a government agency or pursue legal action is not a "threat" -- it is a protected exercise of legal rights under Florida law. Until today, we have never received any refund. They have never told us which card or account they supposedly refunded, nor provided any verifiable proof. All of these -- their emails, their own policy, and the backdated refund document -- are now part of our formal complaints to DCF and small claims court filing. I cannot recommend this daycare to any parent.
