So happy I found Hollywood Preschool. I have been in search of a daycare where I feel comfortable…read moreleaving my baby and this daycare has eased every concern. The facility is clean and the staff is so nice. As I am Hispanic, I love that the women taking care of the infants are all Hispanic (personal preference). I love that they immediately told me all of the things they would need to care for him and that everything should be labeled. The fact that they need several changes of clothes, bibs, sheets, towels to keep him clean is a huge comfort for me. The fact that they requested detailed info about my son and what helps soothe/ease him etc is amazing. As a mom a big concern for me is leaving my baby with a stranger all day that doesn't know what he likes/dislikes. Also the fact that they have an app to communicate and send photos/updates throughout the day is so so great. They also include formula/baby food with is a huge plus. I honestly couldn't be happier. If you need a place for your kids and the location works for you I definitely recommend you check them out. (These were the only pictures I was able to take since I wasn't going to snap pictures with the kids in them. But the same way you see the pics from the business owner is how the place looked. So clean and nice.

I wish the learning content was a little more culturally inclusive from time to time but not a huge issue. The staff have been great, Ms. B, Ms. Amy, and Ms Nancy have been especially helpful. They really go above and beyond in making the school experiences magical and fun for the kiddos. If you're looking for a place your child will learn and be safe, they are great. It's not the cheapest in the area but other than that, I would recommend.

They have a no shoe policy in the classrooms which I love because that's also our policy at home too. We bought a membership and a package and so far our 22 month old likes it.

Sunshine State Academy has been a wonderful and supportive learning environment for my child. The…read moreschool truly values academic growth, kindness, and strong communication with families. The staff is caring, organized, and always willing to help, which creates a positive and welcoming atmosphere for students. A special thank-you goes to the amazing 4th grade teacher, Mrs. Kelly.

Mrs. Kelly explains lessons clearly, challenges students to do their best, and makes learning engaging and meaningful. She also communicates well with parents and genuinely cares about each child's progress--academically and emotionally. Thanks to Mrs. Kelly's guidance and support, my child has grown more confident, responsible, and motivated to learn.

It's taken me a couple of weeks to write this review but I feel its important to share my…read moreexperience with other parents. I reached out to Irene (owner) about registering my child in her daycare because my child's previous school was pretty far from my house and I wanted to free up my driving time. She was agreeable and the daycare felt like a small family so overall I left with a good impression. The first day that my child ( 2 years old , almost three) was there , I get a call at 12 pm because he refused to nap, was "hyper" and was "jumping on the sleeping bags" they set out. Mind you , this is his first day in a new environment. She asked if I could pick him up. I complied and grabbed him because I didnt know what else to do .. I had never had a daycare request this. The second day , I get a call at 11 am that my child was "going up the slide wrong way" and that he got on top of a child chair and tried to jump from it and got hurt.. could I pick him up ? By this point , I started to think that this daycare wasnt equipped to deal with toddler behavior. They weren't willing to assist him in acclimating to the school in anyway and were quick to disrupt my workday for situations they should have been able to resolve with a little patience. By the third day , they told me that they had to hire extra help to have my child in the class and that they didnt feel it was the right place for him (only five kids in the class). When i asked why , they said he was too hyper. They gave me two weeks to find a new daycare. Simultaneously, they kept telling me daily that "he was doing so much better" and no incident was ever recorded ( he wasnt biting , hitting, being aggressive, breaking things etc). Everytime I went to pick him up he was playing with a puzzle ( quietly) or playing normally in the playground. Obviously I became distraught over this experience because I work and needed reliable child care and also because she was insinuating my child had some sort of condition for which he needed extra assistance. I took him to the pediatrician , who evaluated him and confirmed that there was absolutely nothing I needed to worry about and that it was all normal toddler behavior. I then noticed that there was a clear shortage of teachers in the schools and that the teacher in my school app was not the same one in my child's classroom ( honestly I am almost positive she was an aid and not a teacher). Overall , if you are considering this daycare , I suggest you do a trial run to see if your kid meets the owners expectations of the owner and I encourage you to reconsider if reliable child care is needed.

Wonderful teachers, students, curriculum, effective learning and a fantastic playground! Amazing…read morelarge outdoor spaces for their daily playtime, spacious indoor classes, event spaces. Healthy fresh lunches and they even provide a menu every month, and their tuition is very well priced. They have consistent fun events which gives me the opportunity to have more activities with my son as well as meeting the other parents and his classmates (which is so important!); movie nights, creative after school evening events, the cutest children's performances, holiday parties, and more. Safe environment with easy feedback and communication with staff. Right next to local parks within walking distance, I often immediately meetup with other parents of his classmates at pick up time, we can just walk to Jefferson Park in the Hollywood Lakes or Arts Park. My son was speech delayed until 4 years old and after being in this school for 2 weeks he was coming home speaking in sentences, and months later everyone was surprised he had ever even received a speech delay diagnosis...true story. He LOVES his school and friends there so much. Check out their facebook page and see all the great videos of recent events.

Do NOT send your kids here. These people are not kind Christians!!!…read more One aftercare counselor got in my son's face a screamed at him over something minor. Another counselor told me daughter " too bad you aren't doing sports 5 days a week so I wouldn't have to see you." Seriously, these people have no clue how to effectively supervise children. Forget letting the nicer staff help your kids with homework, as they can barely read English or help with 1st grade math. Favoritism is showed to those who are members of the church, which is hypocritical. Avoid avoid avoid!!!!

Carole and her staff are family to us! Our daughter has been with them for three years and has…read moregrown and developed immensely! No school could be any better. Carole is extremely knowledgeable and has tremendous expertise and an impressive educational background. She clearly understands early childhood education, children, and development. Her staff are extremely caring and they really do treat the children like their own. Trusting your young child with someone all day, every day is hard but after seeing how wonderful Carole and her staff are and how happy my daughter is I didn't have a doubt in my mind that my daughter would be loved and taken care of and would learn in a safe, developmentally appropriate environment. It is very clean and organized and the "classroom" and children's space is a completely separate space in the house dedicated just for the kids. The children are able to play outside, have plenty of space inside for different centers, and are fed meals prepared by Carole -- no junk! This is not a day care or a babysitter. This is a place where young children learn and grow. Carole has structured lessons and activities that engage the children, incorporate nature, and teach developmentally appropriate skills for the 0-3 age range. Our daughter is more than prepared for Pre-K3 and has learned so much at Busy Butterflies. We will truly miss Carole and her staff but they will always be a part of our family! If you are fortunate enough to get a seat on her waiting list or a spot in the class don't pass it up.

I'm so grateful for the Primrose management, teacher and staff…read more My son was previously in a preschool which I was very happy with, however one day we randomly received a letter that the daycare was going to abruptly close in a week. Both me and my husband are working parent and this came in as a shock and had no idea what to do. After doing some research and visited a few schools in a matter of days we decided to go with primrose. While they didn't necessarily had the space at the moment they were able to make an exception based on our situation. Is it an expensive school? Yes, very expensive to be honest. However , the level of education and care he received was unmatched. I do truly think they care about their kids and the quality is very high. As we now transition to elementary school I would highly recommend this preschool to anyone.

As a parent, there's nothing more painful than realizing that the place you trusted to care for and…read morenurture your child actually harmed her. My daughter attended Open Valleys Academy when she was just a toddler, and to this day--now 8 years old--she still talks about the trauma she experienced there. One of the most upsetting incidents involved a teacher named Luz, who was aggressive and rough with the children. My daughter was picked up by the ear--an absolutely unacceptable and abusive act. When I brought this to the attention of the principal, Cristina, she acted as if it was just a "misunderstanding" and brushed it off. There was no accountability, no investigation, no concern. Just excuses. My daughter cried almost every morning before going to that place, and at the time, I didn't understand why. I thought it was normal separation anxiety. I had no idea she was enduring such mistreatment. One day, at only 3 years old, she tried repeatedly to ask the teacher to let her use the restroom. The teacher ignored her, too "busy" to care. My daughter ended up wetting herself. Instead of compassion or understanding, the teacher humiliated her--putting a diaper on her and placing her in the baby room for the rest of the day. That act alone traumatized her. Open Valleys Academy failed my child in the most fundamental way. They did not protect her. They did not care for her. They silenced and ignored her. And the administration, especially Cristina, chose to look the other way rather than confront the cruelty happening under their own roof. No child should have to go through what my daughter went through. No parent should have to live with the guilt of unknowingly sending their child into a harmful environment. Please--if you're considering this school, look deeper. Listen to your child. Trust your gut. I wish I had.
