My child has been attending this school for just under two years. I am very happy with my…read moreexperience there thus far. I am a helicopter mom and one of my favorite things is being able to watch her on the cameras all day. I also like how detailed the teachers are when I ask questions or even have concerns about other kids' behavior. My child has gone from normal development as a child to being extremely advanced. My child can speak full sentences in Spanish which we don't speak in our household. We've had some great experiences with the teachers as well. Every single one we've had has been phenomenal.

I highly do not recommend this place. They withhold information regarding outbreaks in their…read moreclasses just so they take your money. They don't treat the kids equally. My son was there for 2 days and they completely ignored him and was flinging him around like he was a rag doll. One of the teachers was extremely rude when I asked basic questions about the class. It was like she was upset I was inquiring. Also, they gave me another child's bag but put a piece of paper over the other child's name and wrote my child's name on it. This is very unsanitary especially since we are currently in a global pandemic. If they are short on supplies I could've gave them a bag. I had the WORST experience ever for a first time Mom and first time my child has been to daycare.

More importantly my child loves to go to school! She is currently in the older three-year-old class and absolutely adores her teachers Miss Natalie and Miss Jenn. Miss Natalie is kind, patient, loving and compassionate and works very well with children! Miss Jenn my is also loving, kind, caring & compassionate. & I've seen a silly side of her that my daughter loves! From a parents perspective I couldn't ask for more! My child is loved & cared for! & as a mom what could better! The office staff is so sweet & friendly! I love seeing the school decorated for the different holidays & also love the many celebrations for the holidays. The office staff also does a great job of communicating with the newsletters that parents receive. My family is so blessed with this school & I'm very happy we chose to send our daughter here.

My family's experience with Amazing Explorers was deeply disappointing and unacceptable. Based on…read morewhat my husband, my son, and I personally experienced, I do not recommend this location. We had repeated concerns involving communication, professionalism, cleanliness, supervision, confidentiality, curriculum transparency, cultural awareness, and leadership. When we raised concerns, we were often met with dismissiveness, disrespect, defensiveness, and a lack of accountability. Owner Marcelo asked me, "What kind of mother are you?" because I had not brought a towel for my son. I found that cruel and inappropriate, especially while I was trying to understand why my child had been placed in another child's underwear. That was alarming, unsanitary, and deeply upsetting. Instead of receiving an immediate apology and explanation, I felt blamed. Marcelo also told me he was in Las Vegas and would address the matter when he returned. A serious concern involving a child's hygiene and care should not be delayed because an owner is traveling. In my experience, he appeared more concerned about me leaving a negative review than correcting what had happened. Kelsey promised to follow up with me regarding an important concern and never did. Her failure to respond made me feel that our concerns were not being taken seriously. Based on my experience, she showed the same lack of accountability I experienced from Marcelo. The current director, Aya, Mary, and regional director Mio were also extremely disappointing. In my opinion, all three need serious additional training in childcare administration, communication, professionalism, confidentiality, conflict resolution, and accountability. During one call, Mary told me she would hang up while my child was still physically inside the school. I did not yell, curse, insult anyone, or behave rudely. I was calmly asking questions about my son. Threatening to hang up on a calm parent while that parent's child is inside the facility is a serious problem. Parents should also not be denied information about the school's curriculum. Families have every right to know what their children are being taught and how the program is structured. Refusing to provide that information raises concerns about transparency. I was also disturbed by what appeared to be gossip involving parents and private family matters. Information allegedly shared about families made its way back to several mothers. Parents should be able to raise concerns without fearing that their private business will be discussed with others. My son was sent to school clean, neatly groomed, with freshly braided hair, clean clothing, and quality shoes. We spend hundreds of dollars each month making sure he has everything he needs. Yet I repeatedly picked him up extremely dirty, with food or other substances around his mouth and on his clothing. I understand children get messy, but there is a difference between normal play and failing to provide basic care after meals and activities. The cameras were unreliable, the playground lacked adequate equipment for an extended period, and I did not feel Black history or Black culture was meaningfully represented. After repeated disrespect, broken promises, poor communication, hygiene concerns, unreliable cameras, gossip, lack of curriculum transparency, and a complete loss of trust, my husband and I removed our son because the school was no longer a good fit for our family. The school may deny or dispute this review, but I would never invent something this serious. This is what my family experienced, and I have retained documentation relating to my concerns. Based solely on our personal experience, I do not recommend this place. Parents deserve honesty, professionalism, transparency, accountability, properly trained staff, and respectful communication. Most importantly, children deserve better.

I have trusted the staff at Creative World with my son since he was 12 weeks old. From day one, I…read morehave been completely impressed. I get daily updates and many pictures through the week. The teachers truly pay attention to the development of the children, which is so important to me. I had a teacher conference when my son was less than a year old to go over his developmental milestones and areas to work on! My mother is a retired speech and language pathologist who worked in the school system. She has always said how impressed she is at how engaged all of the children are no matter what time of day she is there. The level of interaction helps develop language, which she sees with my son at home. The amount of work they put into the children and their development is exemplary. From the front desk to the kitchen, everyone knows my son, not just his name, but they REALLY know him! Just this weekend, he could tell me animal sounds for animals I've never taught him about! Not only that, but he can understand and respond in English and Spanish, some of the Spanish I don't even know! At almost two, my son is happy and thriving. Being a working mother, it is hard to leave your baby every day. But, I know that he is in the great and capable hands of people that love him and are truly there to teach and inspire him and I couldn't ask for more!

Creative world in Avalon park was one of the worst mistakes I could have made. The management team…read morewas disrespectful and unprofessional. One of many prime examples could consist of: talking negatively about families behind their backs, or with other employees. The management team was also biased towards workers and students. You clearly could see favoritisms, and strong dislikes. One employee may get in trouble for being on their phone, while others get away with it day in and day out. One child may be targeted for a possible delay in development, while other children with severe behavioral troubles are overlooked, not given guidance to get the right help. Frustrations amongst the management team were often taken out on the employees which hindered their abilities to give the children the quality care they deserve. Creative world Avalon park is all about money. They enroll too many children at times, so they don't have to turn somebody away and lose out. Therefore that would lead to full rooms and sometimes being too short staffed, often resulting in the children having to be shuffled to a different room, leaving the kids with no stability. You may drop off in one room but that doesn't mean that's where a child stays all day. There was a child, way to young for a classroom, still on bottles, who had to sit at the table to have the bottle instead of being held, and having that one on one social interaction. This was all due to being over full in the proper room this child belonged in, and being shuffled to a higher aged room. Furthermore, what the parents ask or want is mostly a no go. Parents don't have a say if their child is on a bottle come a certain room, if their child still uses a pacifier or lovey, that all stops in certain rooms regardless of the parents want, or what comforts the child. Management was also lazy at times, not giving their full effort towards the daycares proper functioning. Examples could include: times passing by in the main lobby, where management was either on their phone, or sitting making beaded bracelets. Another example, even on extra short staffed days, it was far and few in between you'd pass by a classroom and see management step up and into a classroom to help it run a bit more smoothly. This daycare holds no value. The employees deserve a non toxic, supportive, stable environment and creative world Avalon park does not offer that. Children also deserve these same things and then some, in order to have the quality care they deserve, which is often hard to be fulfilled due to the treatment and emotions caused by management. The number of people that left creative world, or un-enrolled their children, is plentiful, and that is only the tip of the iceberg. I highly recommend looking further than the friendly smiles that greet you at the door when you walk into creative world Avalon park. There's better out there.

We began coming to AE in October 2020 after moving to the area from Fort Lauderdale. Our daughter…read morehad never been to another school so we were very nervous about the transition but we had heard such good things about AE and the wait list reflects that. We got very lucky and were offered a spot when we called to inquire about space because many parents weren't sending their kids back due to COVID. Our daughter had a rough first couple of weeks transitioning but the staff at AE did such a great job supporting her. Even the director at the time, Jamie, would greet her everyday and talk with her. She got comfortable quickly after those first couple of weeks and she's been thriving ever since! They do parent teacher conferences every 6mos and let you know how your child is doing and what areas they could work in at home (counting, tracing letters, etc). They also provide great feedback and insight on how to work on behaviors or transitions (potty training for example) at home! We love AE and all of the teachers our daughter has been fortunate to have. We recently put our son in school there (he just turned 6mos) and it's been a great experience as well!

We have be using Young Innovators for over 1.5 years. To me there are daycares and there are places…read morewhere learning is cultivated and explorations is explored. After trying a few daycares we found Young Innovators and our toddler went from being upset about being dropped off to being excited. That is a huge weight off our shoulders knowing that he is enjoying his time there. The staff from the front desk and teachers throughout the building know my child's name and says hello to him everyday. We also use this parent's night out on the last Friday of each month and we drop off our 8 year old as well. During summer we like the summer camp for our 8 year old as well. With having themed weeks that we can choose which to attend such as Space week, CSI week etc it allows him to choose which weeks he finds most interesting. On those weeks they will go on fields trips and do find task at the building that is related to the week's theme.
