This is my second review for Bright Horizons located at 10085 Yamato Road, Boca Raton, Florida…read more There are truly not enough wonderful things I can say about Bright Horizons. As a grandparent, nothing means more to me than knowing my granddaughter is in a place where she is safe, loved, and excited to go every day. The director, Monika Zaidan, and Roxanie Rodriguez are absolutely phenomenal at what they do. They truly go above and beyond and seem to have everything running seamlessly and beautifully. Their dedication and attention to every detail is remarkable and so deeply appreciated. My granddaughter's teachers, Ms. Rana and Miss Liz, are simply extraordinary. I have never seen such incredible patience, kindness, and loving guidance with children. They have a special gift for making every child feel valued, comfortable, and excited to learn. My granddaughter has been attending for almost two years, and it has been such a joy to watch her grow, learn, and build sweet friendships there. She is a child who really thrives on structure and staying busy, and this school gives her exactly that in the most positive and engaging way. They somehow make learning feel like fun, which is such a gift at this age. Seeing her come home happy, confident, and full of stories about her day means everything to our family. I'm so grateful she has had the opportunity to be part of such a special place.

For the first time in my life I felt pampered and didn't scream out in pain. Now I see them regularly and it feels good knowing I am getting the care I need. Elaine D., Boca Raton

This C.H.O.I.C.E school is a (free) public Montessori elementary school in Delray Beach with a…read morepeace and justice component. All students are selected by lottery after their parents submit them through the CHOICE application, which is due in January of the year before. A unique thing about this school is that it is 1 of 2 public elementary schools in the entire County that accepts 3 year olds into a full-time day program. This is 1 year before VPK, and instead of a half-day program (like VPK), this is a full-day, from 8am-2pm. This is kind of incredible, as we were able to put our 3 year old into school rather than daycare, which is much preferable, as well as cost-saving. However, in order to take advantage of this, you have to submit an application while your child is 2 years old, and most parents are not thinking about applying to the school board website after being a parent for only a couple of years. 3 year olds are put in a mixed classroom of a small group of 3, 4, and 5 year old children, with a lead teacher and an assistant, in a classroom that has Montessori elements to it. All teachers here have received additional schooling in Montessori education, and many have been teaching at the school for decades (as well as having sent their own children to this school). This speaks volumes about the institution itself. We have experienced wonderful care from the teachers here. Spady's official website, like most PBC public school's sites, is confusing and lacks basic information. I knew very little about this school before applying to the program, due to the overwhelming and convoluted system that the School board administers, which is way behind the times. I would love to see a modern website with basic information about the school displayed. If you're reading this, I encourage you to write a review for your children's school, so that parent voices and experiences can shine and help fill in current gaps in information and content.

I am a parent who has always tried to support my child's school, but after a deeply troubling and…read moremishandled situation, I feel compelled to speak out. My daughter came home with visible bruising, and as a concerned parent, I reached out immediately -- emailing the principal and administration and messaging the teacher, since it was discovered on a Friday and the school was closed over the weekend. I received no response. First thing Monday morning, I went to the school in person. Principal Barbara Leon was unavailable to speak with me. I met with Ms. Michelle, who listened and said she would try to gather information. She later called me back with very few answers and oddly asked that I not speak with any other parents about the incident. We then followed up in writing with Principal Leon, as well as administrators Julia Pease and Holly Oliver, requesting records and any available footage from the day of the incident. Again, we received no response. Instead of answers, we were met with a DCF report filed against our family -- and a visit from both police and a DCF officer. We were never contacted directly by the school with any findings or follow-up about what actually happened to our daughter. Adding to our frustration, Principal Barbara Leon sent a message to other parents stating the incident had been handled -- despite never once addressing or confronting us, the actual parents of the child involved. She took time to reassure others, but gave us no communication, no transparency, and no accountability. Aside from completely neglecting the incident, the way this was handled shows a serious failure in leadership and concern for student well-being. We are left with growing concerns about what the school may be trying to hide. As parents, we deserve the truth -- and above all, our children deserve to be safe.

The staff is great but we should have known on the very first day (when the other parents and the…read moreteacher barely acknowledged us) that this was not the right school for our daughter. She was treated very badly by the girls in her class, they were very mean and excluded her without even trying to get to know her. To the staffs credit, they did make an attempt to get the girls to interact & be more inclusive but you can't turn mean kids into nice ones. I ended up pulling her out. Horrible experience here. The students are rude and clicky. The two stars is for the staff and their efforts to make it right.

Along with strong parental support, I'm sure all the students will do fine in life.

I have yet to meet any faculty or staff that are not truly committed to the students and the community. For a relatively small school, the access to quality arts, music, sports, theater and other extra curriculars is impressive. Best of all, Grandview has a true sense of community, from students and teachers to families and staff. Students regularly interact across grade levels (in class and out), and regular community events allow everyone to be involved.
