For some that might not be a good quality but I myself think is wonderful she is always honest and humbled herself if she is ever wrong.

My two sons attended StarChild since June of 2022. When I went in to pick up our kids yesterday…read more(12/21/22), I received a booboo report to sign that Ms. Zuly scratched my 3 yo's arm causing him to bleed in classroom Preschool C. He had a bandaid over it so I didn't see the extent of the damage while there. Removing his bandaid for his bath showed my husband and I both a gouged out section that is not just a scratch. It is a clear scar of a full curved thumbnail from her digging so hard and deep into his skin to draw blood and leave behind such a wound. She claims she was hugging him but that would not result in the purposefully caused laceration she has inflicted the inner portion of such a small child's forearm. I have pictures to document the physical harm and the center had camera recordings of the room. They refused to let me see the footage from what she did and what other actions she may have taken against my son. StarChild claimed they didn't have video but calling th actual camera provider proved that all plans included cloud storage. StarChild refused to provide contact information until I spoke with the regional director - Liz Reece. I left a voicemail at 8am. Then called back at 9am. I finally spoke with her at 10:19am. She then drove to the location and said she spoke with the teacher and others who may have been in the room yesterday. Ms. Zuly claimed to have no idea that she caused this injury despite it being such a deep wound to draw blood. Ms. Liz "provided coaching" and when the location director got back from vacation at the end of the next week, more "coaching" occurred. This is absolutely unacceptable. For a teacher to cause injuries to a child and for a company to then pretend that "coaching" of a few minutes was sufficient is ridiculous. The only repercussion for the teacher was that she got a letter in her file stating that she needs to build stronger relationships with parents. DCF got involved and even the worker said an injury, such as the one inflicted on my son, was not possible accidentally. If you send your child to this facility, be aware they don't care about your child or their safety.

I would never take my child back to Starchild. After touring many daycare centers near Apopka, we…read morewere excited about Starchild Apopka/Wekiva. By day 3, our daughter came home with two finger nails completely ripped off, and fingers that were very red. It was clear that she smashed her fingers during the day, but the daycare had zero incident reports or any information on what happened. Knowing our daughter, she would have screamed her head off, in pain. On day 5, we started watching the cameras more closely because our daughter refused to enter the classroom anymore. That was out of character. We noticed that she was not eating lunch, yet the teachers marked her eating the "entire lunch" even though they removed the plate full. On day 6 is when we pulled her. During nap time, I witnessed one of the teachers grab her, use force to push her onto a mat, and threw a blanket on top of her. I could see my daughter crying through the video. When I arrived 2 hours later, the rest of the kids were playing, but my daughter was still on the mat, traumatized, and still crying. If you need a quick place to start daycare, and have ZERO options, then I would say to stay away. Your kids are safer anywhere but here. There are other daycares that are cheaper, with much better quality.

We appreciate the staff. The staff not only share the years of learning with us, they share the…read morelove of children.

Light Years Ahead exceeded all my expectations and more! We recently moved to Florida and and were…read morepretty nervous about finding a school for our two-year-old. From the moment I walked in, the owners made me feel at home, which translated to the classroom. The teachers are amazing, the entire personnel is caring and loving with every single kid. They love and care for the kids as if they are their own. There was not a single day where I hesitated about bringing my son to school because I always knew that the entire staff at light years ahead would take care of him the same or better than me. Special thanks to Rodney, Maria, Miriam, Daney, and Glenda. You are all great and you all had a big part of making our move to Florida a very easy transition.

We started back in Aug 20, 2018 and my kids have enjoyed this place so much. They are 2 yr old and a 5 year old in VPK. My son has some developmental delays but their patience and care has been phenomenal. If you are looking for a loving group of ladies, who will love your kids and also a faith based environment, this is the place. It is very affordable. It is great they have the playground inside their facility, surrounded by the classrooms which makes it very safe. They keep you posted with pics of your kids enjoying their activities. We are now moving out of town and it breaks my heart but hoping we find another loving Daycare where our kids will be loved and well care for. Definitely recommend this place!

The staff here is quite peculiar. I feel that the director prioritizes the needs of the staff over…read morethose of the working parents who bring their children here. Safety does not seem to be a priority, as the front door is often left unlocked, even when there is no one at the front desk. Additionally, they suggested placing my 18-month-old child with the 3-year-olds simply because he is chubbier than the other kids in his age group, despite the fact that the 3-year-olds are significantly larger and taller than my child. Every time I pick up my son, he is wearing soiled clothes, indicating that they are not using the extra clothes I provided. Furthermore, the director has threatened to file a false report with the Department of Children and Families, claiming that I was over 30 minutes late for pick-up, which is not true. Lastly, she has failed to properly investigate the staff member responsible for placing an unknown substance in my child's diaper. She told me it was muffins but failed to explain how it got into his diaper and on his private parts. I request a diaper change record which I usually receive everyday with previous center but she claimed that they do not provide that for my 18 month old

I can tell each time I pick him up that he enjoyed his time with them. They are attentive and caring.
