I have nothing but positive things to say about Wendy and the staff that she has put together. Should you have a child on the spectrum this is a great choice! They even come out to your home to work with you and Wendy holds workshops to help teach you how to help your own child rather than have others do the work for you for a few hours a day. Most of the work happens at home and they definitely make you feel prepared to take on any challenge your child may have. Definitely highly recommend this program! Had my son not aged out and began Kindergarten I would still have him there.

Ms. Yessi, his speech therapist, has been patient, encouraging, and extremely skilled at helping him find his voice with confidence. We have been receiving feedback from school and family on his ability to hold conversations and maintain eye contact--something we once thought would never happen. Our son struggled with transitions, but when Ms. Tiffany, his Occupational therapist, entered his life, everything changed. She has played a vital role in helping him manage sensory sensitivities, improve hand strength, and develop coordination in and out of school. She meets him where he is, turning therapy into play, and celebrates every win, big or small, with us. Thanks to her, daily routines have become more manageable, and he is thriving both at school and at home. His ABA and teachers have been able to turn challenges into achievable goals with Ivy and her team. We are very lucky to have them on our journey and wholeheartedly recommend them to any family walking this path.

PARENTS BEWARE!!! PLEASE READ: Azul Therapy LIED to my face…read moreabout ins coverage, they made a Medicaid recipient pay about $700 out of pocket, they have completely held my son back by only giving him the BARE MINIMUM in scheduling for an entire year of his life. When they KNOW that early intervention is crucial. I began bringing my (undiagnosed) son here 5/2022 after his daycare did a couple of evaluations and he scored poorly on every section. When the CERTIFIED personnel at Azul evaluated him, both OT/ST recommended that he visit 3x per week. I agreed. At this point, my son only said "mom" and some letters (not regularly, most days he is nonverbal.) He needed assistance with eating and was very hesitant about doing things he should be used to for his age. They reached out some days later and said that the insurance would ONLY cover one hour of ST and one hour of OT. I thought it was strange and should have followed my gut then. I asked, should I call them and see if I can explain the situation to them? I was told "no" by Azul. "It would be a waste of time, they don't care." I trusted Azul. 6 months later, after Azul did their re-evaluation to send to his ins, they told me that they had bad news. That my son's insurance cut OT by HALF, but if I wanted to continue the full hour I could pay out of pocket... that "that's what many parents do." I did, because I know my son needs the help of "professionals". Fast forward 6 more months... "I'm sorry, the insurance cut ST by HALF... I'm so sorry you have to pay out of pocket because we see that he really actually needs the help." I finally decided to call the ins company because my son is almost 4 years old now, and has only slightly improved in OT but has not improved in speech this entire year with Azul. They tell me he is ENTITLED to 3:30 hours of OT and 1:45 hours of ST (that's for everyone that has Molina) that the cover whatever the OFFICE tells them. I can no longer trust this "practice" and will be reporting them to the Dept of Health. Who knows what scheme they are running and how many families they've done this to as they celebrate 8 years of money grabbing, instead of giving children the adequate amount of time to progress faster. If Betty and Claudia read this, I really hope you were truly unaware and that this is coming from administration. We loved and trusted y'all. I am so hurt and angry, and my son will never get this wasted year back.

A good community center offers varied opportunities for its residents of all ages. A shining example of a great community center is the Pinecrest Community Center across from Pine Crest Library. I was able to check out the Pinecrest Community center during the Pinecrest Farmers Market. Overflow parking for the market is behind the community center and library. The Pinecrest Community Center offers many free and low cost programs for all residents. These include personal enrichment programs, social activities, creative activities, active recreation, STEAM, arts, health, camps, and fitness programs. The community center gym is a popular destination for fitness enthusiasts. There is cardio and strength training equipment, stretch zone, locker rooms with showers, and personal trainers and fitness classes. The community center also has an indoor play zone for children and families and spaces that can be rented for private events. Outside the center is a shade covered playground and paved walkways for exercise. There is also a cafe called Elia Pinecrest that anyone can visit for dine in and take out. You can register for classes and upcoming events online and follow the community center on social media for event news. There are volunteer opportunities too. If you want to be active, make friends, and learn new things, the Pinecrest Community Center has just the right program for all ages. It kind of makes me wish I lived in Pinecrest.

As a public school educator myself, I knew what resources, services, and curriculum were available to my son if he were to be enrolled in a public school. I knew it would not fit his needs. I found Great Heights at the right moment and have never looked back. The one thing that every parent I know with a special needs child looks for in a school is that the child is well taken care of and loved no matter their disability. This school meets those expectations to the fullest. Great Heights has a great academic program tailored to each individual child and a low student to teacher ratio. I have always felt comfortable sending my son there. The director, Khia Lopez, pours her heart and soul into her students and their education. I highly recommend this school!!!

Pros: dollar for dollar, it's the best deal in Miami as far as summer camps go if you divide the payment by the amount of weeks it lasts. Lunch and snacks, 1 hr swimming class daily, lots of fun and sports related activities, field trips plus morning and after care included. Cons: you have to pay camp in full around spring break time as there are a lot of kids that go to this camp. But with that being said, all the activities and field trips are very well organized. Most of the CITs and Jr Counselors are a little clueless (especially in the office) so if you need to stray from their routine by picking up early or anything, then you see the behind the curtain of organization. My kids have gone the last 2 summers and are very happy. The staff in general are very accommodating with needs as grouping children goes. They give a lot of flexibility with that. Overall, I am very happy with Belen Summer Camp.

I can say if you ask 10 people from Miami if they know Belen any age would say yes. But back to the question why is Christ the center of this school it's because like our new dean of mission and formation said the goal of Belen is to create men of Christ and that will become saints. And the term saints is somebody who is with god in heaven. But overall if you want your kid to get a great education and grow closer to god chose Belen
