We have been with Expert Aupair for 9 years, and we are still happy…read more We had wonderful aupairs, and still in contact with some of them. I can't say the matching process is easy, it's not easy!! Matching process is a common decision of the host family and the future aupair! You need to take into account your life style, diet, activities and make sure they work for both parties! Lately after our aupair came back to her country after only 6 months with us (she was home sick), we welcomed an aupair in rematch. And We are very happy with this new aupair! She plays with our daughter all the time, always laughing. You need to see your aupair as a big sister/brother, part of the family. Not an employee! I've heard from some aupais that some families can easily take advantage of the situation. I like Expert Aupair, they always helped us along the process (especially during the rematch) , our local representative is also an amazing support! It's a small agency but I think it's better because they know the families and the aupairs. I will continue to stay with Expert Aupair and recommend this agency!

St Pete Prep has truly become a second family to me and my toddler! I immediately felt at ease when…read moremy daughter started in the 1 year old class with wonderful Ms Toni! Their communication, kindness, and genuine love for children was evident from the start. As she progressed through the 18 month to 24 month classes, each teacher ( Ms Savannah , Ms. Ashleigh, Ms. Cheryl, Ms. Olivia) treated her as if she was their own child. Ms. Shelia and Ms. Bri, whom oversee the daycare and programs, are truly some of the most authentic and kindest souls I've ever encountered. They are all one big family and the smiles they bring to my daughter's face is something I will be forever grateful for. My toddler loves going to school and has brought home so many creative and special art projects and meaningful gifts for momma and daddy on certain holidays . They bring in Santa / the Easter bunny , and provide so many unique and valuable experiences as well as life lessons to all of the kids throughout the different age groups and programs. I cannot say enough about St pete prep and the staff that make this place as special as it is.

Im only giving 4 stars because supposedly any review with 3 or less stars Doesnt show from what im…read moretold. Id give a ZERO if i could! riting this in hope that it will save the next parent the stress in which it has caused me. I recently enrolled my daughter into Daycare at St Pete Prep Learning Center in St. Petetsburg. The first day, as the front office assistant walked my daughter & i to her class, i witnessed someone else's child (approx. 3 y/o girl) sitting on the bathroom with a bare bottom & her clothes scattered on the floor. I thought it to be a tad odd but didn't say anything. I sat down with my daughter & her class so she could feel comfortable before i left. After about 15-20 minutes or so she was comfortable and i left. Welll, as i walked out i couldn't help but notice the little girl was STILL sitting on her bare bottom on the bathroom floor. Again, it was my daughters first day, i didnt want to be "that parent", the annoying one that comments on everything. So i didn't Say anything. The next day when i walked into the classroom to pick my daughter up, she was in the corner crying by herself with snot all over her face. Which tells me she had been crying for a bit. I ask the teacher what's wrong, i didn't get a straight answer. I ask again & im told she had a few diarrhea diapers & as a result had diaper rash. She stated she applied Vaseline. So i immediately put my daughter on the changing table to see because shes never reacted that way. The rash was bad enough that someone should've called me. & not just because of how the rash looked but because of how my child was acting. In addition, i should've received a call due to the diarrhea they claimed She had. She clearly was in alot of pain & didn't want to sit down because of it let alone have a diaper on. But yet when i walked in, she was sitting. No one thought to even hold my daughter, console her, let her know its going to be okay. Or thought to call me? They should've called me. Who knows how long my baby had to sit on pain. Or continue to ge her butt wiped even though she's in pain to the point of tears! That night she couldn't even wear a diaper to bed, she literally cried herself to sleep with no diaper. And she slept on a towel. I understand kids get diaper rash & it can get severe, that's overstood. My problem is i wasnt notified. I don't understand how they can be in business. How could i possibly experience this much nonesense & licensing violations in just TWO DAYS? Long story short, i reported the daycare to daycare licensing & they will be investigated. But more so, i wish i knew the mother of the little girl that was sitting on the floor. In addition, i wrote a review on the daycare's Facebook page and in response they stated "i would definitely question this persons credibility. Follow this link & Check out her arrest record. REALLY?? What kind of parent is this?" & then posted a link to a records site showing my arrest for possession of marijuana. Then hours later deactivated the page, removed the reviews option & reactivated. If that doesnt speak volumes i don't know what does. Thank you for hearing me out.

Delores Smith was a home daycare owner yeas ago and she operates in the same caring manner of her…read morecharges now as she did then. If I had not moved to Tampa the new set of grandkids would be in her school now. You cant trust just any and everyone these days with your kids but this owner has my trust. She has always had a passion for molding young minds. She deserves all the accolades she has received and I am sure in the future she and the school will earn more. Can't wait to see what new plans are in store for the Delores M Smith Academy.

As of today I have a 4th grader and 1st grader both enrolled in the school district's gifted program, and I can't help but attribute some of this to Young Achievers' hard work. Communication is top notch, and they are incredibly easy to work with, flexible, and highly responsive. It's quite apparent they genuinely care deeply for each child, and are able to accomodate many different learning and behavioral styles. They are also highly affordable and offer a VPK program, making them a well-rounded choice for parents on a budget. Again, cannot recommend them enough!

They are now 6 years, 4 years and 19 months (he currently goes to her). My two older boys still ask to go see her when picking up their little brother so that they can say hello. My 19-month-old just loves her, as soon as she opens the door to greet us, he is all smiles and is ready to go for his day. I always know that I don't have to worry about my children when they are in her care. She is the most amazing, generous and caring person and I am so thankful that she is in the childcare profession as I wouldn't want my boys going anywhere else.
