At first glance I loved the school. I loved the big classrooms and combined grades and the fact…read morethat they offered education through high school. But after having my children in the school for a year I was greatly disappointed. The teachers are very sweet especially in lower elementary but I feel like my children learned almost nothing. They complained that the classroom was noisy and it was hard to concentrate. There was zero emphasis on classical literature, somehow, reading "Diary of a Wimpy Kid" qualifies as sufficient for their classroom literature. The kids sat on the floor all day and my children complained that their backs were hurting. Many of the classic Montessori manipulatives were rarely used. There was no music class. Rarely did they do art. My children, even the upper elementary child, never brought home home-work. The Christmas program was honestly the most atrocious thing I have ever seen. The children stood outside in mosquito infested grounds for an hour in shepherds costumes and literally did nothing but stand there as props while the principal and pastor relived their fantasies of being stars and sang all the songs. There was open fire in the torches and straw everywhere. I was on the edge of my seat as children filed closely past the open flame. I just knew any moment the whole stage was going up in flames including baby Jesus, who was a real newborn. I honestly almost stood up and said something in the middle of the show it was so nerve racking. This school needs to put the children's safety before their own desire of having their own personal American Idol for themselves. In that moment, I realized, if this huge issue is an oversight, then what about all the smaller things. I feel like this is a terrible place if you want your kids to get a good education. If you are just wanting somewhere to stick your kids where they learn about the Bible, but education or safety is not a priority, then by all means, spend the $11,000 per student to send them there. I feel like i really got ripped off. I feel like my children are no more educated than they were a year ago, in fact, I feel like they actually regressed.

We've had such a wonderful experience at La Petite Academy! One of the things I appreciate most is…read moretheir flexibility -- especially thanks to Ms. Gina, who is always understanding and willing to work with our family's needs. The teachers are amazing, and I want to give a special mention to Miss Jacqui and Miss Savannah who are so caring, patient, and truly dedicated to the children. Before coming here, my daughter attended another daycare in the area. While I truly liked the teachers there too, I had to make a change because they weren't flexible enough with my schedule and the facility wasn't as well maintained as La Petite. The facility here is beautiful, clean, and very well cared for. I love how thoughtfully they organize the children's days with a balance of learning, play, and creativity. My daughter especially enjoys the meals they serve -- she looks forward to them every day! It's such a relief as a parent to know that your child is in a safe, engaging, and nurturing environment. We're so grateful for the entire team here!

For a long time now, I have been really wanting to go to Sarasota School of Glass and create…read moresomething beautiful. Then I saw that there was a Groupon for it, and told my daughter that is what I want to do for my birthday this year. I booked it online and was so happy that they were open on a Tuesday, because that was my actual birthday. During the online booking process we each had to choose between vase, wavy bowl or plate. My daughter and I both chose to create a wavy bowl. Then we looked for inspiration online on how we wanted to design our wavy bowls so we would have some sort of plan when we arrived and have maximum time to work on our projects. It was a beautiful drive from Clearwater. The studio had so many creative pieces to look at. Our instructor was great and taught us everything we would need to know about cutting the glass and items we could use to create our own unique masterpieces. We came back a week later to pick up our fused glass art after it had been placed in the kiln. We had such an amazing time, and I can't wait to go again. This may be my new addiction. There are so many different projects to choose from at the studio. We were so happy and proud of our finished wavy bowls when we picked them up. It was such an incredibly fun way to celebrate my birthday. I will be back!

My 3 y.o. daughter went to Overbook Academy last year, when she was 2 y.o., three times a week for half a day (other options are everyday or even twice a week, which is a nice option to kids who are just starting to be in a social group) and now, every day for half a day, and been loving it. I find that this system is ingenious -- if parents/grandparents/etc. have flexible schedules -- in a way that a child eats lunch at home and naps at home (to me, it's ideal), and then you get to spend another half of a day with your child outdoors/etc. If half-day is not enough, they extended to full day this year, 2025 (until 4 pm).
