My 3‑year‑old was expelled from this daycare immediately for saying inappropriate language. There…read morewas no prior warning, no meeting--nothing. 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.

This was the first time using KNO where my older child actually asked where she was as soon as he woke up. When we told him she went home, he went out on the balcony and was like, good bye babysitter, thank you!! It was adorable.

He is 7 months old currently, but has been attending since he was 3 months old, and the teachers adore him. There are only 4 babies for every 1 teacher and so each baby really gets the amount of love and attention necessary. They engage the children in so many activities ranging from music time to exploration time with toys to arts and crafts (yes, even babies!). They go outside twice a day for at least 30 minutes, if not more, and they are so diligent about feeding him at the right time. If you ever have any concerns, they are very quick and polite to respond, and they constantly update you through the ProCare app. I am also able to view my son through a private live video feed provided by PB&J TV. This daycare is truly a blessing. They do so much to make you and your child feel welcome. My husband and I are considering moving houses and we are really torn up about the fact MFA2 may not be in our driving range anymore. We're considering not moving just so he can stay! Please give this place a chance, you won't regret it!

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.
