Just wanted to follow up on my initial review of MKA 5 years ago…read more I've had many people reach out to me with similar stories. The center has had high turnover for teachers. The director at the time told me that my then 4/5 year old son was difficult, impossible to deal with, didn't listen, and would do poorly in public school. They refused to give him additional work to do in Pre-K, saying they could only give him the same items that the other children had; he was constantly finishing work before others and was bored. MKA kicked him out 3 weeks before Pre-K graduation, so his academic career did not have a qualifying Pre-K certificate. He was diagnosed with severe ADHD when he began kindergarten. With the right medication, and taking karate daily, my son grew leaps and bounds. His teachers in elementary school were all aghast that he was kicked out of Pre-K since they could see he was just bouncier than other kids. He just began his last year of elementary school, and is a 2nd Dan black belt in karate. He is consistently on honor roll, and is an all around happy guy. Just beware that some centers really do not have the time or patience necessary for kids. If my son was one who didn't have ADHD, then he may have done well at MKW.

Selecting a daycare/ early child development center for your kids is one of the hardest choices we…read moremake as a parent. As a mom I always had a picture in my head of what they would be like and I can say Children's Lighthouse is that place. We actually kept our first daughter home for two years with a nanny because we couldn't find a place that was right for her and right for me as a parent. I needed to know that I was leaving my children for the day in the hands of not just employees of a daycare, but in the hands of people that truly love them. Of the 35+ employees every single one of them knows my girls name and they both run to any one of them to get a hug and say hello, it makes my heart so happy. It's like they are going to play and learn with family for the day while I'm at work which is all I could ever hope for. In addition to the amazing staff and facility the education and growth they experience is unlike anything. It is not organized chaos like I have seen at other places they spend time teaching children at every single age. They have outdoor play areas specific to needs for that age group allowing for safe outdoor time even for the babies as young as 8 weeks. They are directly across the street from Southwest aquatics and have a partnership that allows your child take safety and swim lessons during the school day (additional cost through the aquatics center of course). The summer program includes weekly bounce, kona ice trucks and career guests; it makes me jealous that I have to go to work and cant stay everyday in the summer. I could honestly go on forever on everything that is great about this place. Go, do a tour and you will see exactly what I am talking about. Thank You Children's Lighthouse Winter Garden- Mindy

What I love about this YMCA location is that there is ample equipment and I am able to get a productive workout complete. So far all machines that I have used are in great working condition. Other members too are able to get their workout done with ease unlike other locations where people are on their phone, taking up the machines and not actually using them efficiently. I have gone early morning around 7 AM and I have also gone in the evenings around 7/8 PM. I have not taken any classes yet, but will soon explore some. My only one complaint is that I have unable to use the sauna due to it being out of order. Hopefully, they're able to repair it soon. I have also heard and read in other reviews that it is frequently being repaired. Hopefully that gets resolved soon.

One minute actually working out. The irony is a foot to the right of the is a sign that states basically TRAIN or GET OFF THE MACHINE. Typically, these are the same people who never wipe the machines down either. It is extremely disappointing place to say the least. Worse of all NO ONE DOES ANYTHING ABOUT IT. "Thou shall not steal" is one of the commandments writen yet when it comes to time, apparently, "steal away" is the theme.

StarChild Academy Winter Garden (SCAWG) is a great option for preschool; however, I strongly…read morecaution against enrolling your child in the elementary school. The overall positives of the school are cultural diversity among the staff and student body, a family feel, and friendly, caring faculty and staff, as well as building updates on the preschool side. Preschool Pros: curriculum Preschool Cons: Teacher retention; on average, children go through at least 2 lead teachers a year, and it's a revolving door for assistants. When our children were attending SCAWG, it was advertised as an advanced curriculum school; it's not. We withdrew our youngest child first because it's easiest to succeed in surrounding charter schools' lotteries when entering kindergarten. Youngest attended from age 2.5 - 5 (VPK). Youngest is testing above grade level in ELA (was even promoted to grade 1 phonics class at new school) on Florida's statewide standardized assessments (F.A.S.T); however, Math results were below grade level. Elementary School Pros: N/A Elementary School Cons: no technology in classrooms, teacher retention, no behavioral specialist, inadequate disciplinary action, unrealistic amount of at-home supplementing, ineffective curriculum, no positive reinforcements for academic achievement, no standardized test prep, combined 4th and 5th grade class Oldest attended from age 3-9 (grade 3.5; we withdrew after mid-year). For context, in kindergarten, first, and second grade, the oldest had all A's with 1 B for the whole school year. Q1 of third grade all A's, one B, Q2 of third grade all A's, one B. Oldest tested at grade level in ELA on F.A.S.T and below grade level in Math. At SCAWG, they introduce concepts and move on quickly without allowing the child adequate time to practice or retain what they've learned. While every institution has its pros and cons, we're most disappointed by what we now realize is a horrible curriculum and questionable teaching styles. There are better elementary school options in the area than SCAWG, and I urge you to exhaust them. SCAWG Elementary turned out to be a colossal waste of money for us - it shouldn't have to be for you, too.
