My family LOVES Turtle Tots. This is not your average baby mill. The classes are small, the…read moreteachers are reliable with low turnover, and the attitude of the staff is amazing and positive. After looking at several daycares in the area, I chose this one for my daughter who is in the infant class because: The class size for infants is capped at 4. This means that she will never be in a room with 8 babies and one teacher (out of compliance with state codes). The caregivers really care. They are consistent and I haven't seen them ever play favorites. I never worry about my kiddo's well-being. The facility is always clean and well-kempt. The cleaning products are all-organic (which is nice, not a huge sell for me as I use regular stuff at my home, but for some it is important). If I have called the facility, the phones are answered promptly. My questions are always answered courteously, and no one seems rushed. Overall, this is a great facility and I didn't even remember to call them to check on my baby her first day there, which I think says a lot about the facility. You get peace of mind here. My daughter loves going into the building in the mornings. She smiles as soon as she sees her teacher, and is always happy to transfer arms. No tears, ever! I highly recommend this daycare, and have told several co-workers about it for their children.

ALWAYS blatantly displayed favoritism of children. I was utterly sickened. Every day after school my child would tell me how MS. J... was just always yelling at them all day and how they always had to put their heads down. Who in their right mind would employ someone who constantly yells at and punishes preschoolers? And the kicker, before I forget, the same MS. J..., on two separate occasions, was at the counter talking to another teacher about how much she hates her job and wants to leave. Who runs this place?

Memorial Presbyterian Church, also known as Flagler Memorial Church is a beautiful, colorful…read moreblueish/greyish structure that is a must-see and is historically significant, as this was Florida's first Presbyterian congregation, established in 1824. Located on Valencia Street, it was built in 1889 by Henry Morrison Flagler, a man of incredible prosperity and responsible not only for several buildings of incredible beauty in St. Augustine, but also the railroad system. The church was dedicated in honor of his daughter Jennie Louise Benedict, who died following complications from childbirth the same year, hence the word Memorial. The church, like many of Flagler's structures (Whitehall, Flagler College, Lightner Museum), was designed by the New York architectural firm of Carrère and Hastings in the Second Renaissance Revival style and inspired by St Mark's Basilica in Venice. A novel building technique was used, which incorporated concrete mixed with crushed coquina. Terra cotta was used for many of the architectural detailing. Upon Flagler's death in 1913 he was interred in a marble mausoleum within the church beside his daughter Jennie Louise and her infant Marjorie, as well as his first wife Mary Harkness Flagler. In addition to the church and memorial garden grounds, the church sits on a beautiful lot with trees full of Spanish Moss. It is very peaceful. Tours are given only during the week and because of Easter weekend, the church was inaccessible for tours and closed. Even if you're unable to access the church interior, the exterior is beautiful enough to observe and photograph. In fact, there was a newly engaged couple being photographed here, which is why some of my photos may be somewhat crooked (I was trying not to get them in any of my shots!). I was unable to photograph the entire building's back entrance due to people hanging around the area and my friend not wanting to spend more time at the site.

They're always having awesome events for the kids on the holidays and always include the parents! My daughter comes home everyday and I can't believe all that she comes home saying and spelling. She just spews out knowledge! Mrs. Carolyn and Mrs. Raquel are great and I trust them entirely. This school is very secure as well, I still have never had any issues or scares with security. You can't just walk out with someone's kids. Overall, I'm very happy that I found this school. It's been a great place to meet new friends for my daughter and myself and also a great place to ensure that my child gets a good head start on her education.

I strongly caution any parent considering Castle Brook Academy. The environment often felt…read morestressful rather than nurturing, and some staff interactions with children were rough or inappropriate. Screens and videos are used everyday with children of all ages, including infants. The facility does not have cameras, making it hard to know what's happening throughout the day. Since transferring my kids to a different daycare, their entire demeanors have changed. My heart aches seeing how much my children are thriving in a healthy environment now. I only wish I had realized sooner how harmful Castle Brook really was.

Ms. Peggy and Ms. Nora are great with the VPK4 kids. Both are great with fostering an amazing learning environment while encouraging the kids to have fun together. I was able to witness Ms. Peggy and Ms. Stephanie handle a behavior issue with my child and both were very firm yet loving while helping my child understand the appropriate and expected behavior in the future. Ms. Pam is always friendly and does a great job with preparing great meals for all of the kids. We would recommend Castle Brook for anyone that is looking any of the childcare services they provide.

Tracy, the director is awesome she gave me so much confidence Jackson would adjust well. The facility is new and beautiful. The specific playgrounds for each age group are full of awesome age appropriate outdoor fun! Ms.Gena and Ms.Emily are incredible. They make drop offs on morning that Jackson is in a bit of a mood easy. They care so much and always remember to tell me how he did during the day (if he napped, how he ate, etc). Jackson was not feeling well one day and I came to pick him up early. They had him cuddled up in his blanket comforting him. I cannot imagine a more wonderful place for Jackson to spend his time while I am working! Did I mention how much his vocabulary has improved and how he is eating more foods since starting!
