How embarrassing for our kids who move to another state that did teach cursive. They will be behind and laughed at. I voted to raise my property taxes for education. Big mistake, I feel swindled.

Good morning. I would like to share the letter that I forwarded to the Saint Johns school district…read moreso maybe one day things can change: "Good morning, we live in Ponte Vedra Beach exactly 2 miles from Ocean Palms Elementary School but to not lose my job (no after care) we were obligated to move her to Flagler Charter School and now I'm driving around 30 minutes to my daughter to go to school with after care available. We've tried all the private schools around our home without spots. Nicole was adapting well and loving the school and the After care and school administrators didn't bother even to answer Yes or No after 6 months trying waitlist and several phone calls and e-mails. The last time Ms Kim LaMondie answered "At this time we are on a waitlist. We will be sure to put Nicole on the list. I will reach out to you as soon as we open our waitlist." was on Jan/23/2023 and since then we didn't have any responses after several times trying contact. So, to not lose my job I was obligated to change my daughter to somewhere with after care. Now we drive very far every day for school. I don't think this is fair to us and our daughter always cries missing her neighborhood friends and the school - It looks like we are out of the social neighborhood now even though we live right there. We hope this situation can change because we are very unhappy to not be able to study around our home and to be excluded from the social around there for this reason. We hope Nicole can study again on Ocean Palms too."

I called to inquire about enrolling my 3-year-old daughter in the summer camp program. I explained…read morethat she primary speaks Spanish at home but can also communicate in English, and she occasionally have a number one accident if she becomes distracted while playing- which is very normal for her age. Unfortunately, my conversation with Ms. Jammie was very disappointing. Before I could even fully explain, I was told in a rather rude and dismissive manner that they "don't have the manpower" to change children, that my daughter would need to be fully potty trained, and that she must be able to completely undress and dress herself independently to attend camp. To clarify, I was never asking anyone to "change" my child. I was simply asking if whether staff could occasionally remind her to use the potty. I was honestly surprised by the lack of patience and understanding toward a 3-year-old child. Many children this age still need reminders and occasional assistance, especially in a new environment. What made the interaction even more frustrating is that this program charges a significant amount of money for a 6-hour day, yet there seems to be very little flexibility, compassion or developmental understanding for children this young. As a parent, I left the conversation feeling judged and unwelcome. The tone and delivery were unnecessarily harsh, and it did not feel like a supportive or child-friendly interaction. Families with young children deserve to be treated with kindness and respect when asking normal developmental questions.

I decided to enroll my daughter in Creative Minds for before and after school care when I moved to…read morethe Bartram Park area. They are heads above the competition in the area. They were the only child care provider in the area that provides breakfast, drives the children to the elementary school, picks them up when school is over and feeds them a small meal instead of a snack when they arrive in the afternoons. The woman who runs the place is a nurse. A different daycare I visited actually told me that an example of their snacks was saltine crackers with water or lemonade. I couldn't believe it. When your child eats lunch around 11am and you work downtown and can't pick her up until 6pm, that is too long to go without something more substantial than saltines and water. I've never had any issues with payments either. Amd pricing is reasonable.

Mrs Felicia a VPK teacher at this school thinks it's ok to sit my 4 year old at the table alone for 3 hours because he refused to complete a worksheet and also makes rude comments in front of the kids like " come and get your kids because they are all horrible " .this center falls very short of a Christian to say the very least they are NOT nice people... if you take the tour and are considering this school... ask for corporate contact information before hand and see what answer you get.

They had a new baby brother, and then he passed away at 8 weeks. Needless to say, the transition has been tough. Never ONCE have I thought in a million years that they weren't having a great time at school and engaging and interacting in a fun way. Never once have I thought their anxiety was anything other than the awful changes in our household. Every teacher and administrator in there knows of the special challenges my family has been facing and goes ABOVE AND BEYOND to help my sons transition each day. They're doing so well there, and I can tell how much they're learning when they come home each day. I am so, so grateful for all the ladies at TLE Old St Augustine. I don't know how we'd be getting through this tough time without their love and support for my children and our family. Aside from the gut-wrenching part of my review, I toured several day care facilities that had received good word-of-mouth among my extensive Mommy network and I just got the good vibes when I set foot in this one. I knew if I got good vibes, my boys would too. It's clean, the staff is excellent (I *believe* I was told that all teachers there have at least an associate's degree, and many have their bachelor's), there is ample outdoor play as well as arts and crafts and "free play" in the classroom, as well as more advanced technology training on computers and with their L.E.A.P. system (which is believe is what they call their proprietary curriculum--they have a proprietary curriculum, but I may be mixing up what it's called). If all you want is the least expensive child care you can find, it's not for you. It's expensive, but it's not *that* much more expensive than any day care, and your children are actually learning. I wanted a learning center, not a daycare. With the app, you can check in with your kids on your phone, see what they're doing, what they ate for lunch, how long they napped, etc. I love the pictures that the staff sends of them having fun. What the other reviewer said about the part time option being expensive, while i can't verify the numbers, is generally true. . .part-time isn't that much cheaper than full time, and I can understand why. They still have to provide staff, so their overhead is the same if some students opt not to come all the time (they still have to hold that "spot" and increase their staff if the teacher-student ratio of 15:1--for 3-year-olds--or whatever it is, goes over). You're using as much of their resources if you come part-time as if you come full-time. Part-time day care, outside of a private babysitter or nanny-sharing, just doesn't exist. They're not different than anyone else in this regard. Furthermore, they are actually following a curriculum. . .they don't like children to miss or come part-time because they're actually learning and they want to build on previous lessons, etc. They don't even like you to drop off after 11 AM for the same reason, they want them there to participate in the structured day of learning they have in store for them. The center will give you a tuition waiver for one week of vacation as year, however, so you can get a little break there.

The team is fantastic. Their love for what they do is very evident. We appreciate all that they do…read moreeveryday.
