My review was deleted from Google. That should tell you all you need to know about the character of…read morethe Brights Scholars administration. Bright Scholars may be a good fit for families whose children easily adapt to structured classroom expectations. However, for children who need additional support adjusting to a school environment, the experience can be very concerning. Parents should be aware that if a child struggles with sitting still, following directions immediately, or navigating a classroom setting for the first time, they may find that the school lacks the resources and training necessary to effectively support those needs. Rather than working collaboratively to help children develop these skills, families may find themselves being called to pick up their child repeatedly. What was most concerning was hearing from administration that many teachers only possess high school diplomas. This raises important questions about the level of training being provided to staff, particularly in the area of behavior management and supporting young learners with diverse developmental needs. Dr. Mia Young, given your educational background and stated expertise in Educational Leadership, professional development, and staff training, I would hope to see stronger implementation of those principles within your organization. Effective behavior management, de-escalation strategies, and developmentally appropriate interventions should be fundamental components of staff training in an early childhood setting. Unfortunately, the challenges in this area were evident during the graduation ceremony on May 30, 2026. Watching staff respond to a scholar who clearly needed additional patience, guidance, and support was disheartening. Rather than demonstrating compassion and effective behavioral strategies, the situation highlighted what appeared to be significant gaps in training and preparedness. Every child deserves an educational environment where they are supported as they learn, grow, and develop the skills necessary to succeed. Schools should not only celebrate children who naturally fit into a structured environment, but also be equipped to help those who need extra encouragement, understanding, and care along the way.

Montessori School of East Orlando is a true diamond in the rough in our local educational…read morecommunity. You won't just find a school here - you'll find a cohesive community of teachers, students, and parents that truly partner together to provide a nurturing yet rigorous educational experience. The low student to teacher ratio allows teachers to truly get to know each student and their individual strengths and needs so they can best support them where they're at. They don't only focus on teaching students academics but also support growth in necessary life skills such as time management, prioritization, social emotional skills, responsibility, and flexibility. They also have a wide array of classes outside of standard academics such as ballroom dancing, drama, Spanish, PE, and art so students have a well rounded experience. I couldn't be happier to have my daughter at MSEO and can't recommend this school enough!

We enrolled our daughter for her first year of preschool at Montessori School of East Orlando and…read morewe saw an immediate change in her ability to write her name and her interest in wanting to write more within the first month. The school brought a love and desire for learning to our child. Our daughter was very shy and struggled to communicate with anyone she didn't associate with on a constant basis and she would cry and hide if she was made the center of attention. The school's natural environment is encouraging children to come out of their shells. It's been an amazing transformation to watch her grow in confidence and learn to love doing something even if people are watching. At our daughter's first parent/teacher meeting the director/primary teacher said "She may never want to get up in front of a group and talk or perform but we will give her tools to use to be able to do it." We watched our daughter dread getting up in front of other to now excited to show off what she enjoys. It's been a beautiful transformation. I've never seen an environment where so many children of all ages love one another so much. The older kids look out for the younger ones and set an example that is exemplary. I feel so at ease that my child is getting good influences from her peers. Her classmates are encouraging to one another and rally to help a classmate in need and cheer them on The teachers and staff truly care about what's best for your child to make sure they are getting what they need and are progressing in their curriculum. They put emphasis on the process of a task over just completing it, so our daughter feels pride doing the steps that lead to the completion of the task just as much as feeling the joy of finishing something. I love that our daughter will have the same teachers for multiple years, I feel this will be invaluable to her growth because they know her and know what her capabilities are. I also love that she gets plenty of one on one time with the teachers as well. Everyone is great at communication if you reach out to them or need something, which is amazing because there is a clear and open dialog for whatever your questions or needs may be. Overall we think its a wonderful school and as a parent you can be as involved as you want to be with the many special events the parent's put on for the children. The existing parents are very welcoming to the new parents.

Equal parts fun and serious. He is good with the kids, and drives the rest real hard. Warm up was a good twenty minutes or so. This was followed by back and forth execution of various kicks one after the other on a padded floor. This was followed by practicing kicks over a standing punching bag. Only after this was one allowed a water break (which was a little different from where I train where one is allowed to take a break whenever one wanted). After this the mestre assigned kick combinations and paired everyone up. I was happy that he took me aside and focused on some of my weaknesses, and explained them to me. While he was quick to demonstrate and point out mistakes with pretty much everyone in the class at all times, he did seem to take it easy and chill out during the final singing and roda. The roda consisted of playing music from the speakers for about ten minutes or so while people got in and out of the ring. I found this different from a typical school of having live music, but I guess everyone gets to go at each other in this case. The mestre decided at some point to expound on the philosophy of martial arts and went all Keanu on me about the code of the computer residing in my head, and my head controls my limbs, and so on. He is a fun guy, and I enjoyed training under him. I was charged 15$ for a class. They accept credit cards.

She has a great personality and knows how to work well with the kiddos. Highly recommended!!
