A warning to parents: DO NOT ENROLL YOUR CHILDREN. The only positive thing about this daycare, is…read morethe teachers! The teachers are wonderful and it's a shame they are not appreciated enough. Now with that being said, on to my review: 1st: the owner Larissa and her HR director, who happens to be her sister in law, are terrible. All the owner cares about is making money and does not care about the children or parents. 2nd: if you have any concerns of any kind, you the parent, will be to blame. As the owner, directors and the Admin team will find every way possible to make it the parents fault. And if you don't like their answer, then that's your problem. Which is VERY unprofessional not to mention insulting, since we as parents, are trusting the staff with our children. 3rd: the parking lot in this specific location is terrible! Parents and other drivers do not park in the parking spaces and speed through the stop signs as you try to walk your child across the parking lot. Parents even park at the stop signs and ON THE SIDEWALK. The owner does not do anything about it when you bring your concern to her about the safety of the parking lot. When I had to call the police to report drivers, she did not even care. She blamed it on "being in a shopping center". 4th: the turnover rate is absurd. When teachers leave, they do not let parents know, which is pretty sad considering our children get attached to teachers, as they spend more time with teachers than us parents. No notice or letter us given to the parents to inform them. 5th: the owner raises the tuition to make bigger and better daycares in other locations, yet the increase in tuition does not go towards the daycare your child attends...unless it's the Gardens, Wellington and newer schools. I for one, ABSOLUTELY REFUSE to pay for the budget of a new daycare that my child will not attend. When I brought this up to the director and asked to speak to Larrisa, they told me I could email her, but the tuition is the tuition and it needs to be paid. Bottom line is this: HAFH is a poorly run daycare and you are literally treated as a dollar sign to Larrisa and her team. Luckily we pulled our child out and my only regret is I did not do it sooner.

Also when you bring up concerns to management, they do not accept it and respond with a my way or the highway mentality- very argumentative, confrontational, and not healthy. Overall, the teachers are very nice but without them having support from management, their turnover will continue as well. I would highly suggest researching other daycares before using here. Do not let the "we have live webcam" option bait and switch you.

From the owner: Montessori education stands out in early childhood because it is built around how children…read morenaturally learn. Instead of a one-size-fits-all approach, each child is guided at their own pace, following their curiosity within a carefully prepared environment. This fosters independence, concentration, and a deep sense of responsibility from a very young age. Through hands-on materials and real-life activities, children don’t just memorize information—they understand it. They develop critical thinking, problem-solving skills, and emotional awareness while learning to collaborate respectfully with others. Teachers act as guides, observing and supporting each child’s unique path rather than directing every step. What makes Montessori especially powerful is that it nurtures intrinsic motivation. Children begin to take ownership of their learning, building confidence and a genuine joy for discovery. In essence, Montessori is not just about what children learn, but how they learn—truly Learning how to learn and loving it—a foundation that supports them for life.

The owner took ALL of it out of my bank account at once without any warning or notice. She did it in several withdrawals, in one day, adding up to over $1,200. It put my bank account in the negative by 400 dollars and has made me unable to pay my car payment. I get that we owed her money. But no one should have the right to steal a thousand bucks right out of someone's bank account. The owner screamed at me to "let her talk!" as I was **BEGGING** her to put the money back and telling her, with proof, that I sold stock and would have the money in two weeks. I get that she's running a business, but taking all the money out of someone's bank account is LOW. DO NOT PAY TUITION HERE WITH A DEBIT CARD!!!! *wishing me "all the best" while leaving me a voicemail threatening to "call the attorney general" about a yelp review that simply warned people not to give you access to their bank account is pretty disingenuous. *AND THEN... CALLING MY WORKPLACE AND BADMOUTHING ME TO A MANAGER? SERIOUSLY? All I did was tell people NOT TO GIVE THEIR DEBIT CARD as a payment method! I never disparaged the school itself or the teachers or the care my child received.

Please do not bring your child here!…read more They sent my 6month old baby home with the wrong pacifier on day two at this facility. My child then came down with hand, foot, and mouth on day three of daycare. The director(Jhai) lied to me about any other kids having the virus. It was their fault for not ensuring my child used the right pacifier. Due to their negligence my child was forced to stay home the remainder of the week while I still paid the full weekly rate. Send your kid somewhere else. Don't believe a word the director says because she makes promises and gets amnesia when it's actually time to deliver. The director told me told me, I would get a discount based off my employer and actually quoted me what to pay. Then had the audacity to tell me all of the on-time payments I made were late. When we reviewed all of my payments with my credit card statements it was discovered they were all on-time and in the correct amount but she still acted like she was doing me a favor. Stay away from this place!!!!!!!

Quick Reference:…read more Pros: - Sanitation and child health taken seriously - Regular handwashing, bootie shoe coverings, and glove wearing (long before COVID-19, y'all) - Safe feeding, meaning bottles only made at home and labeled with date, contents, and kid's name - Good ratio of teachers to babies (1:4, sometimes 1:3) - Good activities, even for bitty babies, sensory exercises, tummy time - Pay weekly, or pay monthly. Monthly gets you a discount! - Teachers and staff clearly care a lot about kids Cons: - Morning traffic in the area can be... frustrating. There's a Comcast back in the industrial park, and an Altec Roofing, so if you get there at just the wrong time in the morning, you might have to survive the flood of vans and trucks. - That's basically all the Cons. For the longer story: Our baby boy was due in September 2019, and my husband and I were slacking on getting childcare arranged so we finally started looking at places in October (I know, please don't judge us). We live in Martin County, but we both work in West Palm Beach, so we were looking for something at either end of our commute.We started with Martin County so we would have a short drive to drop BB off in the morning, or if we needed to drop him off but didn't need to go to WPB, but it has almost N O T H I N G worth looking into for an infant. They're either for 12mo+, full, too expensive, or some combination of, up to and including, all three. Village Boulevard KinderCare had been on the radar from the start, as it's about 15 minutes drive from both our workplaces (in good weather, with no traffic, and if the Traffic Light Goddess smiles on you; 20-30 under normal conditions) and though there weren't many Google reviews (and no Yelp reviews at the time), what was there was extremely positive. Hubs and I called the center, and to our delight, it was a direct line in! No IVR-press-1-to-speak-to-another-robot! We made an appointment to come in and take a look around the next day during Universal Nap Time. We brought 3-week-old BB with us, and he charmed everyone (as is only proper for any brand new baby; they're all adorable af). Jhai, the center director, and Angela, the assistant director, were both a joy to meet. They take infant and child health seriously in this place. Since we had a bitty baby, one of us stayed in the foyer area with him while the other was shown all the things in the infant room, and then we switched. Whoever was going in the room had to put on booties to cover their shoes so the floor didn't get dirt and germs from outside tracked in. The teachers in the infant room wear those booties all day long, warm up bottles and food while wearing gloves, and they do diaper changes with gloves and a new cover paper (like at the doctor's office!) for every change. This was standard, even before COVID-19 became a thing. After that, restrictions on entry to areas beyond the foyer were put in place, and then restrictions on entry to the building, plus PPE for staff. Speaking of bottles, they send home bottle labels because they practice safe feeding, and the only one to make the bottles is the baby's parent/guardian. That way, your baby doesn't get someone else's formula or breastmilk by accident. Speaking of breastmilk, those labels are RED instead of white, so it's absolutely clear that there's a difference. We've been bringing our baby here since he was 8 weeks old. He's nearly 7 months old, now, and we still just love bringing him here. When he starts school in a few years, it's up in Martin Co. I'm not looking forward to his last day at VBKC. We've been working from home now for about three weeks because of the pandemic, so BB hasn't seen them since then. They're keeping his spot open and listing us as drop-in until things settle down. I can't express how much that helps us. Though our family isn't in need of daily care, there are a *lot* of essential workers out there who do, and these guys are awesome for supporting them. We can't wait to go back!
