I had a very disappointing experience with Oak Crest Preschool, particularly with the director…read more From the beginning, I felt that my child was unfairly judged and discriminated against due to his behavior on his first day, his speech delay, and the fact that he is not yet potty trained for his age. Instead of demonstrating understanding or support, the director was condescending and dismissive. What was especially concerning was that she took it upon herself to diagnose my child as autistic based on her "20+ years of experience." I found this extremely inappropriate and unprofessional, as she is not a licensed medical professional and should not be labeling children in this way. As a parent, I was hoping for compassion, patience, and partnership in helping my child grow, especially since this was his first time attending daycare and he needed to adjust to social interactions. Instead, I left feeling judged and disheartened. I would not recommend Oak Crest Preschool to families who value inclusivity, empathy, and professional boundaries. I paid $225 for the registration and curriculum fee non-refundable, which I worked hard to afford, yet it was clear that the curriculum was never applied to support my child. After only 1 day, my child was judged without a fair chance.

Had all three of my children at this daycare at some point in time (starting in 2016) and sadly…read morecannot leave a positive review. From my experience I can say it is in a safe and convenient location and the owners daughter who was there when my last child was briefly enrolled is lovely to deal with but the actual owner and face of the facility is passive aggressive, and condescending at the very least. Every-time there was a request for anything she refused to accommodate it. For the cost it is not a deal and does not provide adequate services. My last child was attacked and this was the third time in three days, he was left with a deep scratch in his face that is now a permanent scar a year later. He also "fell" into a bookshelf that left possible fracture in his skull and permanent calcification and dent in his forehead. The doctor said it will Most likely never go away (happened 19 months ago) The first two requests on the injuries that had occurred previous to the serious one were dismissed despite my son telling me another kid hurt him. Additionally my son had a medical emergency (seizure) and requested to see footage per the doctors request and they refused to help me obtain this. Lastly to these isolated incidents, I have never felt more unwelcome in a place that I spent thousands and thousand of dollars at. We have switched to a different preschool and it is like day and night compared to Oak Crest, I didn't realize until i switched how terrible my experience over a 4 year period actually was. They really could improve how they treat staff and families and ultimately the care they provide kids.

This is our local neighborhood elementary school. My oldest son started there in K in 2007. My…read moreyoungest one is still there about to go into 4th. There are many Pros and Cons about this school as I'm sure there are with any school. Personally, we have had some ups and downs at this school that have left me feeling a bit off put by it. (But that was our personal exp) There is a mixture of teachers. Some are EXCELLENT! If you are lucky enough to get one of these thank your lucky stars. If not, hold on for a bumpy school year. The ones who really care about education and not just having a pay check are the ones that shine at this school. And sadly are not the ones usually recognized either. The office staff for the most part are wonderful! There are a few you'd like to bop on the head. Mostly helpful and polite. There is usually a volunteer in the front office helping out as well. There is a full time nurse in site who takes care of everything medically related. The school is clean, like any place in Florida there are bugs but not from dirt. They repaint it the same ole boring colours of cream and turquoise. But the district only allows for a choice between two colours. There is a gym/cafeteria/auditorium. There is a huge back PE area. Field, court and playground. All is fenced in and locked up when school is in. The only way you can get in is through the front office with an ID in hand. There is a library, which is always in need of gently used books. There is a media center and a computer lab. There is no pre-school offered but there are special needs ISD classes. Limited parking in three lots. One of them is mainly teacher parking off to the side of the school. One of front and one in the back by the car circle. You can come have lunch with your kiddo which is pretty cool and they are always looking for volunteers for various things.

Beautiful school that is kept safe and secure.

"My time at Canterbury has been a disappointing experience, to say the least. While the campus may…read moreseem appealing at first glance, the reality is far from the image portrayed in brochures and promotional materials. The academic programs, touted as 'comprehensive' and 'innovative,' fell short of expectations. The coursework often felt outdated, and several instructors seemed disengaged and uninterested in the success of their students. The lack of practical applications and hands-on experiences left me feeling ill-prepared for the real-world challenges in my field. The administration at Canterbury is another major drawback. Bureaucratic processes are convoluted, and getting assistance from the administrative offices is a frustrating ordeal. Whether dealing with financial aid, course registration, or housing issues, I found myself constantly running into roadblocks, and the staff's lack of responsiveness only added to the frustration. Campus facilities, while visually appealing, are poorly maintained. The promised state-of-the-art facilities turned out to be more style than substance. Broken equipment in laboratories, outdated technology in classrooms, and insufficient library resources were a constant source of frustration for many students. The lack of a cohesive and supportive community was evident throughout my time at Canterbury. The student body felt fragmented, and there was a noticeable absence of school spirit or engaging extracurricular activities. It seemed like everyone was simply going through the motions, with little enthusiasm for learning or collaboration. Career services were practically nonexistent. The so-called job placement assistance was minimal, and networking opportunities were scarce. I struggled to find support in my post-graduation job search, feeling abandoned by the institution that should have prepared me for the workforce. In conclusion, I would caution anyone considering Canterbury to thoroughly research and reconsider their options. The glossy exterior masks a reality of subpar academics, unresponsive administration, and a lackluster campus culture. I regret my decision to attend this institution and would strongly advise prospective students to explore alternative educational opportunities." Not only was the school itself a dissapointmen so were the people there the kids were rude and said hurtful things to my kid. The teachers knew about the abusive behavor and did nothing

She is kind, thoughtful, engaging and supportive of her students. Up until this point in our child's education we have never experienced such an overwhelming welcoming response from any school administrator. Her support and concern for our child's success is genuine and sincere. We look forward to seeing how her guidance improves our relationship with the school community and impacts our child's future.

As a parent who did not know what to expect from a public middle school, I have been very impressed…read morewith the quality of the teachers, the curriculum and the care they provide. My son is currently in 8th grade. He has been attending Carwise since 6th grade. It has offered him a safe and caring environment where he can learn and grow. He enjoys school and does not complain. He has been fortunate to have had the opportunity to take advanced courses and even high school level courses. This isn't something that private schools can easily offer because of the limitations of staff and class size (our experience). At Carwise he's in a classroom full of his peers taking advantage of the opportunity to take advanced classes. We have had the opportunity to meet with teachers and staff as well as nurse, the security officers, principal and counselors and they have all been very helpful and supportive. Having a son with a severe peanut allergy adds to the concerns of a parent and this school has been very good for our son and has put those concerns at ease. Our son also got involved in a team sport. It was fun and challenging. When we enrolled our son it was B rated. It has been an A rated school since. I do wish the car line moved faster. It lags and this is a minor drawback.

I was not greeted with respect as a mother of a child going to school there should be treated. I can't even imagine what goes down on those closed doors when I'm not around. I felt criticized about my race. And my son was getting hurt every day I will see bruises and scratches. He had scratched nails marks on his chest next to his neck, when I went to inform the teachers they will say something like.. he came to school like this or He scratched him self. So now this is unbelievable so I go to speck with the director Cathie and she says that she's not in-position to show me the cameras, also says that "in school kids get hurt and kids get sick" and I tell her that I'm will aware that these things happens but it's not ok for kids to come home will scratch's and bruises EVERYDAY !! Now let's talk about The employees who are taking care of our children while we're thinking their HAPPY and SAFE! Ms. Cathy and ms. D (the one year old class) they are very rude and have very bad energy. Twice already of picking my son from school they left him with a dirty diaper (pooped) That he also got a rash. They also feed my son water from the sink?! My son kept on throwing up allll day and night and they failed to inform me that we give him water from the sink, so I had to ask and they wouldn't tell me what water they was feeding him until I asked (are u guys giving my son water from the sink?) and she finally said yes and I told her all the money I'm paying u guys, you can't spend $3 dollars on baby water???!

My child went here for one week and was hit multiple times, last day I picked him up before never returning the entire right side of his face was red from being slapped and no one even knew it happened also with no incident reports. When teachers were asked they didn't see it so it must not have happened they said as if my son was lying or like I couldn't see the red mark on his face? Also they demanded we pay $300 for not letting them know 2 weeks in advance as if it was possible? If you are like me and worry about your child's safety/well being in the first place DO NOT SEND YOUR CHILD HERE! Don't listen to the old reviews they have had new owners since all the good reviews 2-3 years ago it is not the same and you should not enroll your kids here!
