A friend of mine has her two sons enrolled here, and I'm amazed at how much progress each one has…read moremade since attending! The oldest one has learned so many new words, skills, and made a bunch of new friends that he sees frequently on weekends. The environment is very welcoming and child-centered, with frequent updates posts on the app for parents to feel informed about their children's day. For example, each child's profile will have photos posted showing them eating, interacting with the other children, or learning a new skill. I feel like the teachers do a great job at preparing the students for pre-k / vpk and kindergarten, and that it's worth the price of tuition.

My 5 year old recently graduated their VPK program and is wrapping up their INCREDIBLE summer camp before heading off to kindergarten. She started at TLE 2 years ago after a poor experience at another local daycare. From day one I saw the difference. Not only is the curriculum incredible but the environment and teachers make it unbelievably special. My daughter recently tested as gifted and i owe much of that to her time at TLE. My only wish is that they offered a kindergarten program! The summer camp offered is top notch. The teachers make everyday fun and special. From the amazing "water days" to the best field trips in Florida, they have truly made this summer so special. Thank you specifically to Ms Megan and Ms Naomi!! You both are such a gift!!

Our son is almost three and he's attending this daycare since he was 10 months old. There's been…read morestaff changes and leadership in that time, but throughout we've had open and clear communication with management and the teachers. Ms. Skyler is a sweet teacher for the younger kids, Ms. Jess has been a wonderful teachers when our baby was in the twos room, Ms. Kita and Ms. Naya are great at creating routines and structure in the older room. Ms. Salomie and Ms. Wanda are the sweetest and most welcoming teachers. Megan has been a shining beacon in gaining insight on what management is working on and bridging any gaps between parents and staff. The teachers are all very sweet, positive attitudes and try their best to keep children engaged and progressing. They do activities, teach children to use the potty, teach cleaning up after meals, washing hands, taking turns in play, singing and dancing. Our son, like most children I imagine, goes through tough days and good days but I think everyone there truly wants the kids to thrive and so we work as a team to communicate and keep it positive. No system is perfect but communication and live camera access are wonderful things that ensure the children are priority. We even met parents that are now friends of ours and we meet outside of school to have the kids all play. My only critique on the structure is I wish the teachers had more support on cleaning. They do a great job but I think corporate should allocate funds for raises for all staff and for a floater to come in to help tidy so we get more fun time for the kids.

**Disclaimer my child is 2** My child lost his tooth on HIS…read moreFIRST DAY. I decided to not let him go back until the next week. I have never had any issues with this ever before at his previous daycare. Well, his second day back he ended up getting a cut and a black eye basically from "falling" again. I decided to take that day off to watch the cameras to see if they were doing their jobs. I sat and sat and watched the camera. The teacher was grabbing the children(s) arms above the wrist as well as the upper arm and pulling them to sit down. I watch many times the teacher(s) not paying attention and I watched a younger child laying on the floor and then another little girl stomping as hard as she could on his hands, back, and stomach. If that were my son I would have drove down in a heartbeat. I was so excited to enroll him in this daycare however THIS location IS NOT IT. Those two days he was there my child came back home starving literally crying because he was so hungry and thirsty and every time I even drove in the parking lot he would start screaming and crying and saying no no no... I have never ever had any issues like this before. On top of that him being in there 2 days I still paid his daycare fee for the two weeks which is above 300 dollars and they did not offer any composition after stating to me that they would work with me while I got my ELC transferred. Not saying that I need it, but it would have been nice of them to accommodate due to everything that happened. Please mommy's be cautious.

My two sons attended StarChild since June of 2022. When I went in to pick up our kids yesterday…read more(12/21/22), I received a booboo report to sign that Ms. Zuly scratched my 3 yo's arm causing him to bleed in classroom Preschool C. He had a bandaid over it so I didn't see the extent of the damage while there. Removing his bandaid for his bath showed my husband and I both a gouged out section that is not just a scratch. It is a clear scar of a full curved thumbnail from her digging so hard and deep into his skin to draw blood and leave behind such a wound. She claims she was hugging him but that would not result in the purposefully caused laceration she has inflicted the inner portion of such a small child's forearm. I have pictures to document the physical harm and the center had camera recordings of the room. They refused to let me see the footage from what she did and what other actions she may have taken against my son. StarChild claimed they didn't have video but calling th actual camera provider proved that all plans included cloud storage. StarChild refused to provide contact information until I spoke with the regional director - Liz Reece. I left a voicemail at 8am. Then called back at 9am. I finally spoke with her at 10:19am. She then drove to the location and said she spoke with the teacher and others who may have been in the room yesterday. Ms. Zuly claimed to have no idea that she caused this injury despite it being such a deep wound to draw blood. Ms. Liz "provided coaching" and when the location director got back from vacation at the end of the next week, more "coaching" occurred. This is absolutely unacceptable. For a teacher to cause injuries to a child and for a company to then pretend that "coaching" of a few minutes was sufficient is ridiculous. The only repercussion for the teacher was that she got a letter in her file stating that she needs to build stronger relationships with parents. DCF got involved and even the worker said an injury, such as the one inflicted on my son, was not possible accidentally. If you send your child to this facility, be aware they don't care about your child or their safety.

I would never take my child back to Starchild. After touring many daycare centers near Apopka, we…read morewere excited about Starchild Apopka/Wekiva. By day 3, our daughter came home with two finger nails completely ripped off, and fingers that were very red. It was clear that she smashed her fingers during the day, but the daycare had zero incident reports or any information on what happened. Knowing our daughter, she would have screamed her head off, in pain. On day 5, we started watching the cameras more closely because our daughter refused to enter the classroom anymore. That was out of character. We noticed that she was not eating lunch, yet the teachers marked her eating the "entire lunch" even though they removed the plate full. On day 6 is when we pulled her. During nap time, I witnessed one of the teachers grab her, use force to push her onto a mat, and threw a blanket on top of her. I could see my daughter crying through the video. When I arrived 2 hours later, the rest of the kids were playing, but my daughter was still on the mat, traumatized, and still crying. If you need a quick place to start daycare, and have ZERO options, then I would say to stay away. Your kids are safer anywhere but here. There are other daycares that are cheaper, with much better quality.

This is my second child and I used to work for a local AEYC affiliate (they accredit child cares). I have been in more child care centers then I can count and I have seen high quality child cares as well as ones that were just awful. As a parent my oldest daughter was in 2 child care centers as an infant. I chose this location as it is right off the 408 and on my way to work. When I toured this facility I was met by Karin the director. She clear about her guidelines and rules which I found very helpful. While the infant room seemed small at first glance, it's really the perfect size. They do not use fabric swings and bouncy seats (they always got my eldest daughter sick when she was a baby so this made me happy.) The teachers use the floor and give the babies lots of tummy time. This may seem weird to new parents but it really is the better way according to NAEYC guidelines. The room is kept very clean. This center also provides food and formula. Diapers are also available for a small fee (totally worth it!). The two teachers Bella and Martha are wonderful. My child lights up when she sees them both. The one or two times I had concerns or questions I always felt listened to. My issues were always resolved very quickly. And the director ALWAYS followed up. When I had a concern about my daughter's flat head from her stay in the NICU (she was a preemie and started at school at 3 months at 8lbs), EVERYONE was accommodating. I even had Wanda the assistant director talk to me about it in passing, "I see she's really doing well on her tummy time!" I would say La Petite on Goldenrod and Lake Underhill is truly a hidden gem. Competitive pricing too. I love the auto pay! I love the diaper and wipes service.

I would recommend this daycare to anyone who is in need of a comprehensive childcare.

My daughter has been going to this school for 6-7 months now. She had been in a different daycare…read morepreviously but was constantly getting sick and I felt there was other issues there as well so I took her out and had her at home for awhile before finding Kindercare. It has been a completely different experience at Kindercare. The teachers and administrators are sweet and caring. The rooms are kept clean, even the changing table have paper sheets like at the doctors office so they can make sure they are clean for each kid. They are constantly practicing hand washing. I know it is normal for kids to get sick some when they first start going to daycare and my daughter has occasionally been sick but it is less frequent than it was before. And there have been times other kids in the class have been diagnosed with the flu but my child and the others did not get it so to me that shows they are doing an excellent job at cleaning and preventing the spread. The teachers are in the class room constantly supervising the kids so my daughter has had less injuries and accidents than she had at the previous daycare as well. They have been working on potty training with her now and they go out of their way to work together with us. I was worried when she first started potty training about sending her to school in panties because I didn't want to make more work for them if she had accidents and they reassured me that they wanted to help and were glad to do whatever it takes to get her potty trained. They feed the kids healthy meals and snacks, not the typical school food, they eat yogurt and fruit and..something I didn't even know my daughter liked..hummus and pita. The craft projects that they do are so cute as well. I would highly recommend this daycare and when I need to send her little brother we will be sending him here as well
