She is always quick to answer you by phone or email and you never have to pray that she gets back to you. We enrolled our baby when she was barely 13 months old and this was her very first preschool ever, she was not walking yet. In just 5 short months with this school, she has learned to walk, sit and stay seated, do baby signs, say thank you and please, and, most importantly, go from very scared, sad and shy to a completely confident, happy, excited toddler and a social butterfly! The teachers are amazing and truly love what they do. They made her feel loved and safe and gave her room to fully blossom from day 1. We felt fully comfortable knowing our little girl was in good care. After a short transition, our girl looked forward to being in her favorite teacher's arms each morning and play with her new friends. From day one, everyone will know your baby's name, there is an efficient check-in system at the door that only authorized providers have the code for to pickup or drop off your child. You will get photo updates every day, and a daily report that tells you about their day, what they did, what they developed and eating. They also do monthly activities to foster a sense of community with the parents and children like hat parade, making, bird houses etc. They provide healthy, made fresh meals every day (for a fee) and you get to see the menu and know exactly what is served each day. There are 5 teachers in the toddler room and the teachers here have a very low turnover rate so you and your child will get to know them well. We drove 3 hours each day to go to this facility and will do it again in a heartbeat if the closer school to us is not a good fit. Thank you so much to Kathy, Daliza, Alexis, Estephania, Tamiesha, Janna, Christine, Tanesha and Kim for everything that they do and have done for us. If you are looking for a positive, nurturing and caring environment for your child to thrive, this is the place to be. Not only is the facility beautiful inside and outside but the quality of care is truly outstanding!

The curriculum is up to date with modern technology, the teachers make it a priority to treat your child with love and patience, and the atmosphere in the school is a dream. My family and I moved 45 min North, and we pulled our children out to be closer to our new home. Worst decision ever. The new preschool up north didn't give our children half the amount of respect and time when playing with them, teaching them and building such a beautiful relationship that Chesterbrook did. We pulled them out and transferred them back into Chesterbrook Academy the following week. There is no drive time that would stop us from coming here! Highly recommend! We love you

This C.H.O.I.C.E school is a (free) public Montessori elementary school in Delray Beach with a…read morepeace and justice component. All students are selected by lottery after their parents submit them through the CHOICE application, which is due in January of the year before. A unique thing about this school is that it is 1 of 2 public elementary schools in the entire County that accepts 3 year olds into a full-time day program. This is 1 year before VPK, and instead of a half-day program (like VPK), this is a full-day, from 8am-2pm. This is kind of incredible, as we were able to put our 3 year old into school rather than daycare, which is much preferable, as well as cost-saving. However, in order to take advantage of this, you have to submit an application while your child is 2 years old, and most parents are not thinking about applying to the school board website after being a parent for only a couple of years. 3 year olds are put in a mixed classroom of a small group of 3, 4, and 5 year old children, with a lead teacher and an assistant, in a classroom that has Montessori elements to it. All teachers here have received additional schooling in Montessori education, and many have been teaching at the school for decades (as well as having sent their own children to this school). This speaks volumes about the institution itself. We have experienced wonderful care from the teachers here. Spady's official website, like most PBC public school's sites, is confusing and lacks basic information. I knew very little about this school before applying to the program, due to the overwhelming and convoluted system that the School board administers, which is way behind the times. I would love to see a modern website with basic information about the school displayed. If you're reading this, I encourage you to write a review for your children's school, so that parent voices and experiences can shine and help fill in current gaps in information and content.

** Looking at the reviews before mine posted, I can tell you that most of these people are…read moreemployees or past employees of the school** Trust is powerful. Trust is something earned, and something that can be totally lost. O2B Boynton Beach lost my trust, my husband's trust, my extended families trust and several other families as well. My son started 02B West Boynton in September last year shortly after his first birthday. At the time I felt very welcomed, my child felt welcomed, and I thought he would be safe. That changed following very unfortunate situations that could've been completely avoidable. We had to pull our son out of O2B immediately following two incidences, including a a non-verbal child being lost and alone. Found my his mother in an empty classroom. (DCF was involved and school was reprimanded greatly, new protocols were put into place ect. (you know like safety!) And my child was sent home with fecal matter crusted to his genitals over six hours after he had a bowel movement. These are just two incidents of many, but the last straw to the mother/family of a young toddler. Our son is our world, and if you want quality childcare where your child is safe, cared for and protected- DONT enroll at O2B. Here are some key points on what to expect at O2B: -School looks welcoming, fun and colorful and very inviting. Bubbles and music greet you. Fun activities sprinkled throughout the year. Real enticing. -Nearly daily upon arrival, parents will come up to the front stating the teacher is not in the room they're supposed to be in or that the teacher is not there at all. -There's a hoard of cleaning products on a shelf in the children's restroom in the hallway. Accessible for students. This bathroom is 1000% utilized by children during the day mostly VPK. -In less than a year our son had over 20 teachers because the turnaround rate at that school is enough to be concerned about alone. One of the teachers had a complete nervous breakdown in front of our children and was removed from the two year-old room and put in a classroom with older students. And gossip from staff is seen, a heard. -My son nearly had his finger broken in half because a teacher wasn't paying attention and closed a commercial grad impact rated door on his finger leading from the classroom outside. His teacher told me it was bleeding everywhere, yet other staff member said it was a tiny cut. When I got there, it was a large laceration. -Head injuries are daily occurrence at the school, just be prepared for them to tell you that your child came to school with a goose egg on their head, bite marks on their shoulder blades, and bruises randomly. -White gates that are RARLY closed or locked (locking mechanism engaged). -Unapproved/violation inducing retractable gates that are in code violation for fire safety corralling the children away from the doors in the younger classrooms. These items are cleverly, not engaged or removed before the DCF and health dept inspections. It's always interesting to watch someone sweat a few days and during an evaluation from these outsourced entities. The school always be up to par with DCF and health department? You would completely assume that the answer would be yes! -We were under the total expectation that the children have a white binder that goes home at the end of the year showing their progression and work. When we left, there was literally three pieces of paper in it that were completed and everything else was blank. What type of progress is that I was told during my two viewings of the school that this was a very big part of the curriculum, I guess they forgot.? -Excuses upon excuses is what the staff, director- Carlee, assistant director - Daniella (deer in headlights), and the 3rd in charge (forgot her name). Nothing but excuses and half *ss apologies for lack of safety and supervision. Jessica, the school manager or supervisor, does not make herself known or her position known. She does not thrive in a confrontational environment, especially when they have no more excuses to give. -I have far too many instances, action reports, instant reports to even discuss. There is no reason why any parent want their child or children to go to O2B kids in West Boynton Beach. There are better options. We were very lucky to find an incredible school, where our son is absolutely thriving in a safe, loving, and educationally driven environment. I waited a year to post this because I want to make sure it wasn't an issue, making sure I wasn't looking into things that didn't exist. But O2B is perfectly clear. It's a Monet. It is a dumpster fire. And it is unsafe. I was in the education system for over 15 years for the Palm Beach County school district. Our children deserve better than this.

This was the first school our daughter went to so needless to say, she had never really been around other adults or kids without us. We knew right away when we came here that it would be a place we call home. The staff go above and beyond for every student individually and they really accommodate all the kids if they're going through something or need extra support. They send photos and communicate daily through an app, which really makes it easy to know how your child is doing. They make holidays and birthdays so special for the kids. Puffin is a bilingual program, so it's been really beneficial to us that our daughter is coming home saying her colors, numbers, and days of the week in Spanish!! She's learned so so much and they really continue to build on the strengths of the kids. They are challenged to be their best academically, while also given the tools to make strides within their social/emotional development. As a mom and a teacher myself, I can see that the staff are so professional and trained to handle any situation. When my daughter is having a tough time, they comfort her with ease--do her hair, sing with her, read and color with her..there is nothing the staff can't do and haven't seen before. They're truly superheroes and they're always smiling. I appreciate the team at Puffin and their approach as a program!!

It was as simple as a feeling I got and I'm glad I trusted my intuition on this. Fast forward 4 years, and I can solidly say it was a great decision for my family. The environment not only provides a safe place for my children to learn, but there is so much love given to them. It's not easy being a working parent, but it makes it easier when your missing your kid the most to know that he/she is with teachers who generously give their hearts to the little people they have chosen to spend their days with. The staff is kind and professional, yet down to earth and understands our needs/wants as parents. All of the being said, what really makes this place amazing is the families. Our children have made life long friends and so have we. Through religious and non-religious based socialization, a solid community has been formed that is so welcoming to everyone. There are events all the time that allow the kids and adults to spend quality time together and have fun. Beware: if you think you'll just pick up and drop off your kid(s) everyday and be on your way, you're wrong. There's a good chance you'll end up standing in the parking lot and having a conversation with another parent/friend at least once a week. Another warning: your child will definitely make you late to where ever you are going next because they insist on using the sidewalk curb as a balance beam. Every. Single. Day.
