    I was referred to Starchild by trusted sources who praised its reputation from 15 years ago, but my…read moreexperience was disappointing. While the curriculum for older kids seems promising, the infant and toddler programs are overhyped and underdelivered. Despite advertising features like sign language or Spanish, only Japanese was offered for babies, which felt less practical for my one-year-old. I delayed enrolling my daughter to save money by transitioning her to the toddler room after her first birthday, but I was still charged the infant rate because of undisclosed milestones like walking and holding a sippy cup. For $1,500 a month, I expected more transparency and support. Cameras are outdated, staff play favorites with babies, and my daughter--who has ASD--was often overlooked because she's quiet and immobile. Babies would crawl and walk over her (literally walking) while teachers played on their phones. The solution was to put her in a bouncer for hours away from the mobile babies. These issues led me to withdraw her and find a better daycare offering one-on-one care and inclusive pricing. Management and billing practices are equally poor. I had a $3,000 balance due to their billing error, unresolved credit for missed weeks, and unauthorized charges. Despite repeated attempts to resolve the issue, my concerns were ignored, and my account was sent to collections without any proper notice--no voicemails, no letters to my house, and no emails. After the manager who initially promised to address my concerns left the company, I was referred to a different billing manager, who also failed to respond to my emails. The lack of communication and professionalism across the board is unacceptable. In hindsight, Withdrawing my child was ultimately the best decision. It led me to a daycare that better supports her needs without outdated cameras or unjustified fees. Starchild may do well with older children, but for infants and toddlers, and children with disabilities it's simply not worth the money. There's no extra attention given to babies or children with special needs. For $1,500 a month, I expect teachers to maximize opportunities for one-on-one interactions, especially during downtime--not leave my baby in a bouncer for two hours while doing paperwork so they can leave early or playing on their phones. Firing one manager didn't resolve the systemic issues at this school because the entire staff fails to follow through.

    I was super excited to check out this school for my kiddo but was immediately disappointed when I…read morewent in for a tour. I was the only adult in the lobby standing at the front desk and the lady behind the counter didn't even acknowledge me for at least a solid minute until I finally spoke up and said "excuse me." Then once I explained that I was there for a tour she acted annoyed that I was interrupting her day. Tossed her pen down, rummaged around for papers, heavy annoyed breathing, etc. She even radioed another employee to come deal with me (as she made me feel). As a parent who is considering entrusting these people with my child all day, it was a horrible first impression and I will not be back. If you're going to treat me like that, how will you be treating my child? No thank you.

    We truly can't say enough great things about Meta Humans Altamonte. We've been attending regularly…read morefor over six months now, and it has made a tremendous difference in our homeschooling experience. Having tried other programs where we had to practically bribe our student to participate, Meta Humans has been a breath of fresh air. Our child genuinely loves going -- he'd happily attend seven days a week if they were open on weekends! We currently attend three times a week, and we've found that Meta Humans not only meets the socialization needs that homeschoolers sometimes struggle with, but it also helps fill in educational gaps in an engaging and effective way. For example, they offer typing -- a subject that would've been a major battle if I had introduced it at home. But because it's part of the Meta Humans curriculum, my child now asks to practice typing on weekends -- just for fun! That's the kind of magic they create: turning new skills into something enjoyable and self-motivated. The staff is absolutely wonderful. In particular, Glouie (aka Louie) takes the time to individualize care and support for each student. He has a deep understanding of the unique quirks and personalities of the kids and manages those differences with kindness, attentiveness, and real compassion. If I had one small wish, it would be for a French immersion option! With so many native French speakers on staff at this location, my son has become increasingly curious about the language -- and I'd love to take advantage of that exposure, especially since immersion is such a powerful way to learn. All in all, Meta Humans has been an incredible addition to our homeschool journey, and we're so grateful for the joy and growth it brings our family.
