We are so appreciative for the kind and loving staff at Pineview Douglas. The staff are organized and effectively communicate with us parents. Our children have grown intellectually, developmentally, and socially. They absolutely love being at school often times asking why they are getting picked up. :) Overall the school and staff are excellent and exceed our expectations. read more

It's an amazing nurturing environment for my toddler. The teachers and staff are just great.

I have only the best things to say about this preschool. A warm and loving environment is worth more than words and I am grateful to have my child here. read more

Well, it's now Pineview Preschool. My son has been going to this preschool since he was two years old. It's a great preschool; the teachers are very loving, he has learned so much and (most) of the administrators are friendly. The only reason I gave it four starts is because it's a little on the expensive side. It's hard to pay $700 a month to learn colors and the alphabet. But my son likes it and to know he's in a safe, warm environment while I'm at work does make the tuition worth it. read more

I have been looking at schools since I found out I was pregnant (yes, I am THAT mom). It was very important for me to find a school that was very clean, that the teachers actually cared for my son and also that my son was learning and being prepared for big boy school. I found all of the above and more at Pineview - Downtown. His teachers love him and are very caring and sweet! The school is super clean and bright and everyone always has a smile on their face! My son is 2 and a half and is now completely potty trained thanks to his teachers!!! The communication with parents is great, I love the Shutterfly website that they are constantly uploading weekly pictures of what my son did in school that week. Overall, I am super happy with the school and my son loves it as well. The price is very reasonable which is a plus! read more

Pineview Preschools Douglas - First day of school! - Child Care & Day Care Near Me - Miami, Florida

See all

I cannot fully express the amount of appreciation and love I have for this school. Pineview Sunset is the first school my boys attended. Needless to say, anywhere you place your kids, the first few days as a parent you worry. The staff at Pineview Sunset assured us everything would be ok, took photos of the kids, sent them to us and embraced our children as their own, alleviating all our worries. After the first week, our boys, who are very shy, could not wait to go to school, making drop offs a pleasure. My boys have been in Pineview Sunset now for two years. Its amazing the change I have seen in them. Pineview Sunset helps them socialize, teaches them manners and educates them beyond their years. We are now in the process of looking at the next school for our boys as they are graduating out of Pineview Sunset. During this process we quickly realized how completely prepared our boys are for Pre-K 4 and Kindergarten. They know basic math, how to read short sentences, how to clearly ask questions and all their sight words. I completely credit Pineview Sunset and their wonderful staff. I cannot endorse this school enough. read more

My 4 grandchildren have been and some still are students at the Sunset Campus. I show up at different times and for different pickups throughout the week, and have only witnessed kind and loving care for all in their care. Yes, it is very unfortunate that any injury is sustained to a child anywhere, but would be highly suspect that it happened at Pineview preschool. read more

We researched many schools and Pineview has proven to be the BEST selection. As every parent knows its hard to leave your baby and return to work but from the very first day we did, I left her smiling, she is always happy to arrive to her classroom and throws her arms out towards her teachers (that said everything to us!). I leave to work knowing she consistently receives individualized attention and care. She is stimulated each day to learn new things and develop. We have peace of mind knowing she is in a safe, clean!! (also very important to us) and healthy environment. The staff is amazing, everyone is extremely friendly and professional. We like the structure and consistency within the organization. Happy Teachers = Happy Children. Everyone is genuinely concerned with our daughters well being. We could not be happier! We HIGHLY recommend Pineview !!! read more

My son will be starting PreK in August so I've found myself perusing through reviews for schools. My son attended Pineview Preschools from the day he turned 2 months till a month after his first birthday. I looked up Pineview now on Yelp out of curiosity and once I saw some of the other reviews, I decided I would make this my first review. I first visited the Pineview Bird Road location when I was pregnant and fell in love. I loved the sense of security the location offered as well as how clean and lovely the school seemed. At the moment they were full but advised me that a downtown location would be opening up a few weeks after my due date. I immediately signed up. The downtown location is not as spacious and aesthetically appealing as the Bird location but it was still very nice. I'm not sure if they're still there but his first teachers were Dania and Leyanila. They were GREAT! I didn't have any issues with the school until my son turned 1 and was moved to the next classroom. My son, unlike the other comments below was the biter. I understand that the school is looking after the safety of the children but the way the situation was handled was completely appalling and unprofessional. At first I was very frustrated trying to figure out why he was biting and how to stop it. The problem was that the teacher could never really tell me what he was doing at the moment of the bite. My son had just turned 1 and I was upset that no one could ever explain what he was doing when the biting occured. It wasn't helping me fix the problem and I was bothered that he was not being paid more attention. On the day his enrollment was terminated, I picked up my son and his teacher explained that there had been another inicident. I apologized and went home. A few minutes after arriving at home, I missed a call from Vanessa, the director at the moment. She left me a voicemail that she had just been advised that my son had bitten and that he was being terminated. I tried calling back but since she phoned after 6, all I got was a recording. I had to miss work the next day and went to the school requesting to speak to Cynthia. She was sooooooo RUDE. She said my son had broken their 3 bite policy and was being terminated. I pleaded with her that I couldn't miss work and that I would need some time to find a new day care. She refused to let him stay and would not refund me for the month. At pineview you pay tuition for the month upfront and it was only like the 4th of the month. I found it extremely unprofessional to be terminated through a vm and the lack of empathy on her part. My son started a new school that week and never had another incident. It still makes me wonder what was going on there that was motivating/allowing him to behave in such a manner when that was never an issue again. read more

My Daughter has been part of the school since last year .As a new parent it was very challenging having to trust your 3 month old baby to strangers . I must say my experience with Pineview Preschools has been excellent they met and exceeded my expectations. After visiting a long list of Day cares and infant cares it was horrifying to see the conditions of some of these places. But not Pineview. Pineview made the difference the place is impeccable. NOT once has it smelled like dirty diaper, no matter at what time i drop in everything is always under control and when I come in around 5ish the staff is cleaning the toys and the class rooms. Management is always on point with vaccines and requirements for the safety and well being of the children. They communicate via email and keep us informed even of the weather. The staff is amazing always greet you with a smile. They are loving and attentive . My Daughter comes in daily with a smile and loves her teachers. Her teachers have taken good care of her , they teach her something new every day and have given her love and affection. I'm a new parent and I'm a very Happy parent and glad to say my child is part of this school . "Nothing like leaving and knowing your child is in great care" 7 months down the line and not one bad thing to say. NOT ONE! read more

Everyone from the owner to the director to the teachers to the staff are all A+. Our oldest daughter has been at the school since she was 3 months, and will be finishing pre-k4 in a few months. Our youngest is now 7 months and is with the same teachers in the baby room that our oldest was with. The teachers are all warm, friendly and loving. They have treated our family like their own. I could not think of a bad word to say about any of them. This place is amazing and has taught our children fantastic skills and lessons. I would strongly recommend this school to any parent looking for a pre-school in Miami. read more

My kids have been attending Pineview Preschools since 2011 and I must say it is a great environment for our children. The school is kept impeccable, they provide healthy fresh food and the teachers are wonderful. They have worked with us to accommodate our requests whenever possible. They are very strict with their rules and have a procedure to follow for everything. Their tuition could be considered a bit high, but you get what you pay for. I have been in every day care and preschool in the Coral Gables, South Miami, Downtown/Brickell area and Pineview offers the complete package. My son is already in kindergarten but my daughter still attends Pineview. I still wish my son could go back because public schools are something else. The peace of mind I have when I leave my child there every morning is priceless. read more

My son just started this summer at the South Miami location and I couldn't be happier. The staff and his teacher are amazing and they take such good care of him. They have amazing communication with parents via email, phone calls (when necessary) and conferences (to share my child's progress). My son is super happy there and is always talking about his teacher. I would highly recommend this school. read more

Our son has been at Pineview Douglas since he was 7 months old and now he is two. We love that the program is bilingual, something which is rare but so wonderful for children. The teachers are caring and loving, exactly who you want your children with. He has learned many language skills and socializing skills which he would not have received staying home. The school is always spotless and the staff is reliable and friendly. Highly recommend. read more

I am very happy to have my child in this school!! She loves to go to school. The school is well kept and the teachers are awesome and always engage in the children's needs. I love the fact that all the teachers know and interact with the kids its like a big family here. Everyone knows each other and the children enjoy it as well. read more

I am "awarding" this school one star because I would not be able to write this review otherwise. The students are trained to be robots. Many cutting edge ideas on pedagogical "innovation" which are only good in theory. After having two conferences because my child was behaving as a child, I removed him and he's never been better. Being promoted at the top of his class. I have Pineview to thank for my sons success. Without them he wouldn't be where he is. read more

My son went there about two years ago when it was called the Wonder Years. The school always seemed clean and it is very well kept. Unfortunately, we had a terrible experience with the owner Cynthia. Our son had been bitten about 7 times when we finally approached her with the issue. She setup a meeting with us, cancelled one time after I took time off to meet with her and the next time she tried to cancel but I said I couldn't keep taking time off so we had a phone conference. She was completely inconsiderate and tried to make it seem like we were being over protective. She did absolutley nothing to help the situation and was very rude. It is a shame because the teachers are very nice and the school has so much potential. read more

The Wonder Years is now called Pineview Preschools. My daughter has been in the infant room at Pineview (Douglas) for 5 months and we couldn't be any happier with the care and attention she receives. My girl absolutely loves Ms. Alyna and Ms. Lidia -- both of whom have been with the school for at least 8 years. I have spent a lot of time in the room and popped in at all different times and always find the babies to be well cared for and often engaged in age-appropriate learning. The babies are regularly taken outside for play in an infant playground, engaged in little art projects, sang to, and play group games. They take and show me photos of my baby's many adventures. The place is always immaculate. Really, I can't say enough great things about the ladies in the infant room. They have been incredible at getting my daughter to nap, ramp up her eating of solid foods, and make her feel loved when I can't be with her. My daughter is obviously very happy here. The administration and staff are friendly and helpful too -- which I very much appreciate as a non-spanish speaker. We looked at a lot of places and are so grateful we were able to get a spot here. read more

My son has been at the downtown location since he was 3 month old. I am very happy with the results, I think they handle incidents following the proper procedures. I have referred 2 other people and so far they are happy as well. Very clean environment as well. read more

By far, the worst school that I could have chosen. My daughter was in Pine View, formerly Wonder Years for less than a month as she was a victim of bulling attacks. The school staff never mentioned anything to me and made me believe that my daughter was acting up because the transition of the new school experience however, as a mother I questioned my little one, who confirmed that she was afraid or going to school because the kids were mean. She was having nightmares and her coloring was very disturbing and dark, so I raised the concern at the school administration, who admitted having a problem, but not been able to disclose it. They placed my daughter on another classroom, but at the time of pick up and drop off all PK3 kids were mixed again. There is definitely something wrong at this school, and I will recommend all parents to talk to their kids for little as they may look and observe their behaviors. What a bad first time school experience. :( read more

My sister's friend has a child at this school, but at another location. I was going to register my son here, but a couple of other parents that knew of Pineview told me not to. I went ahead anyway and did a tour. I wanted my own experience. I saw young teachers who, in my opinion, did not seem very experienced. A lot of disorder, very unimpressive academics were presented during tour and loaded classrooms. The parent that warned me had their child at this location. There's a lot of staff turnover and said their own teaching staff tells the parents owner is angry and ironic. My 2 cents: do your homework. Placing our children in a school is a delicate matter. I also saw a comment on here where a school staff wrote in defense of this school against a commenter. Obviously any place that has to defend themselves on someone else's right to an opinion, does fear some kind of truth is being said. I will continue to search. I heard L'Atelier School is very impressive. I have a few friends that have their kids there and are happy. It is a bit more expensive, but in life we get what we pay for! Good luck to all. read more
