I know exactly what my daughter is doing during the day, because they follow a very clear schedule, accessible to the parents, and a wonderful faith-based curriculum. They also send daily reports and I know when my daughter hasn't had a good day, and why; communication is very good and the Director is very personable and accessible. It's also very affordable in comparison to other daycares in the area. I'd say EUMP is a very happy place to be at. Totally recommend!!!

If a ZERO was an option in the rating I would give them that. It all started on the day I went to…read morecheck out the school and take a tour. Remind you there is no reviews good or bad about this school. When I was in the 2 year old room the first caregiver was not wearing a bra. Keeping an open mind. There is probably a logical explanation. The second caregiver sat in a chair and just gave directions and never got up to interact with the kids. She was not disabled. Again, keeping an open mind. The playground needed some work. Still not a deal breaker. So, the day of registration I bring my son in and I was greeted with "you didn't bring any diapers." I did. I left them in the car until I finished getting my son registered. Which I explained to her. (He is 18 months) I went into the baby room to talk to the administrator. As I was speaking to her, one of the caregivers immediately disciplined the baby by yelling at him. There was no calm talk or redirecting done first. As we continued to talk the same woman yelled again and yanked the boy by his arm. I thought I was going to snap. I feel the administrator is well aware of this woman's actions. It clearly is not her first time. Especially, if you can't even put up a front in the presents of a parent. I told them that I do not agree with how they discipline the children. She asked me why and I explained and the woman that did the reprimanding said to me that she just moved the child away from the other. If I can pick out the two children involved out of the 10 other children in there, I think I can tell the difference between removing the child and just being plan mean and abusive. I do not ever write reviews. This time warrants it as a warning for any parent trusting another individual to care for your child.

The teachers are great and always quick to respond. You can always get someone on the phone or email and get things sorted out fast. They also have a program Hawks for advansed kids. What really stands out here is how they handle communication with parents. It's way better then anywhere else. Every time I had a question, it got answered in minutes, not hour. Also, big props to the woman who answer the phone at the front desk - she's awesome! Seriously, I never seen a school do this part so good. And about grades - if a kid don't wanna learn, they won't do well anywhere. If they're motivated, they'll find a way to learn, even in the middle of no where with no books or teachers. The school's job isn't to motivate them - that's up to the parents.

It has a large, shaded playground, far from the main road. The classrooms are well stocked with learning materials and play items. The teachers are very knowledgeable and work with each student individually to help them learn and grow socially and academically. Friendships are made here that last a lifetime. This is one of the last true preschools around and it is a St. Pete treasure for sure.

This school was our first choice, and we entered with high expectations, but we were ultimately…read morevery disappointed by our experience. The atmosphere is lovely and the learning environment is strong; however, the level of communication was extremely lacking. Our child is spirited and likely has ADHD, and the school was not equipped to accommodate or support her needs. During her second year, we were told the Montessori method might not be ideal, but we were assured the school would pay for someone to observe her and work with the teachers to create a plan to better support her. While this gave us hope, that observation never happened, and no plan was put in place. We were completely caught off guard when attempting to re-enroll and were informed that a final decision had already been made not to accept our child into Kindergarten. At no point was this communicated to us in advance. Our child attended the school from ages 3-5, an age when children are still learning self-regulation, yet we were told the Montessori model requires children to already possess this skill. By the time we were notified, enrollment at other schools had closed, leaving us with very limited options. In my opinion, this is not a good fit for spirited children or those with learning differences. The lack of follow-through and poor communication significantly impacted our family's educational path. If you suspect your child may have ADHD or needs additional support, I would strongly encourage you to look elsewhere.

It truly is a small community where everyone supports one another and genuinely cares about the children. This was the only preschool where my 13-month-old daughter got off my lap during our tour and immediately started exploring. That alone told me she felt safe and comfortable. She also developed a love of vegetables because of the school's focus on healthy eating. When she was teething, her teachers offered her frozen peas to help soothe her gums, and to this day they are still one of her favorite snacks! Most importantly, she absolutely loved going to school every day. The teachers created such a fun, nurturing environment that she was always excited to learn, play, and see her friends. Seeing her so happy and eager to go each morning gave me complete confidence that we had chosen the right preschool.
