Below is my review of previous owners. Thank you for the response from new owners. I have actually…read morenoticed some changes, such as bilingual signage & "now hiring" hasn't been up for several months. I will check into the school as my daughter will be ready for VPK this fall. This is my second tIme writing a review for this daycare/preschool. My original review was made shortly after my daughter was removed, I removed it because I didn't feel it was fair. I will start with the positives, once the children leave the infant room the school is highly focused on routines & learning (could also be a negative). When my daughter started at her new preschool that has accredited teachers & nationwide locations, I was told that she was too advanced for the younger 2's & would need to be moved up should I choose to stay. My daughter loved being dropped of when she waS in the infant room, Ms. Luz was the highlight of her day. We had behavioral issues shortly after being moved to the 1's room with my daughter, which I believe was due to the strict routines which in most cases helps children, but not always. One teacher absolutely loved her, while the older teacher constantly had issues. When she was 1 & a half she was moved to the 2's as a solution to her behavior. Within a short period of time I started receiving calls to pick her up because "they didn't have the resources to deal with hEr". I'll add that I live near by & pass everyday to drop my older child at school, they are constantly hiring. The calls started happening weekly, I couldn't keep leaving work because she was over tired & having a melt down instead just letting tHe kid lay down 30 minutes before schedule. I went to pick her up one day & she was left in the foyer area between the 2 rooms, crying since they called (45 mins) another time she was left in the high chair. At this point I was honest & advised Fiona that I may need to remove her & asked what would be ample notice for the school? She indicated 2 weeks. Within a couple of weeks I started getting calls every other day. The 2nd week she called me at work & said I needed to pick her up indefinitely. So I had already paid, because they require you to pay a head & I was given no notice that I no longer had child care. I just felt that a business with that many years experience should handle things better. It's not a bad school, my daughter was kept alive, very few incidents of getting hurt & as I stated early she is advanced fOr her age.

My 18 month old daughter has attended this daycare for about 5 months. When we moved to winter park…read morewe visited every daycare in the area. From the first few minutes we met Fiona and toured the school I decided that was where I wanted her to be. Fiona is an amazing director, the school is clean and welcoming. She is very safety conscious and has emergency plans in place. They serve the kids great food and each classroom has a tight schedule that they stick to, which really helps my daughter stick to a routine during the week. The outdoor space is huge and they take all the kids out atleast once a day. Fiona is very attentive and it is visible that she loves her job. I never worry about my daughter while she is there and anytime that I had, Fiona quickly made those fears go away. If you are searching for a daycare for your child look no further, you will not be disappointed.

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.

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.

If your child is a perfect little angel, you should have no problem enrolling them in this…read more"learning center" that is headed up by an old woman who should have been let go from her position 20 years ago. But, if you have a child like mine, who tried his best to make all the right choices everyday, but was not always successful, just know the director will not make big accommodations for your child, but she will make sure your tuition check gets cashed every week. We were enrolled in this Kindercare location for approximately 6 months before we removed him. He was 4 and a half when he started, and we paid the full-time tuition cost, plus the full-time cost of tuition for his infant sister. The infant room teachers were great, of course. But the transition with rest of the staff did not come easy. Our son's teacher could not physically keep up with any of the kids. She was grossly overweight with bad knees. She was sitting and yelling at the children most of the time when we saw her. The director is also an old woman who probably should've retired years ago. She has a very troubled adult son, and she had no problem sharing details about his life with us, seemingly comparing our son to her own. As the months dragged on, we had meetings with her, and I would get phone calls at least 2 or 3 times a week because this seemingly "experienced" teaching staff could not handle my child's meltdowns. Like they've never had a child meltdown before? They couldn't have put him in a safe spot by himself until he cooled down? It got to the point where the director told me what time I needed to drop him off in the morning because she had to have certain teachers available. I didn't realize this director was my new boss to dictate my work schedule as well. But they also told me on certain days I would need to pick him up if they were having an inspection and they did not want him there. But they still had no problem collecting my check every week, with no payment adjustment if I did need to pick him up early for their own personal reasons. Near the end of our 6 months it felt like no one was trying to include him in any activities with the rest of the kids anymore. He would tell us he was by himself all day, or next to the large, loud teacher most of the time. Most of his behavior issues boiled down how tired he got during the day and he would cry and yell in frustration over small things, and he kicked the chairs in the classroom. According to the director, this behavior was enough for two "teachers" to allegedly quit because of my 4 year old. The cherry on top from his teacher was the day of VPK graduation, and she told me he had a rough day. So much so, she wasn't sure that he should even be allowed to join the ceremony with the rest of his classmates. That took me by such surprise, the class practiced their ceremony, they had robes, everything, and this woman told me a few hours before that she didn't think he should be allowed to join in. What was supposed to be a happy day, made me so upset leading up to when we chose to come anyway. But the nail in the coffin came during the summer session when the director told us in an in-person conversation that she was "waiting for all the kids in his class to turn 5 before they went on a field trip." Great, we thought - he will love to go on his first field trip. She even sent out a reminder in the app of the "vpk field trip." The day before the field trip she told us our son would not be allowed to go, even though we consented to it. She did not trust him on a bus. He was singled out for her own personal fears of what he "might" do to jeopardize the safety of others. She had no real way of knowing that our child or any other child would obey basic safety rules, but those kids were allowed to go. When I finally expressed all of my frustrations with her through email, that same afternoon she decided to embarrass herself and my family by yelling at us (with other families around) in the school parking lot. She essentially told us what bad parents we are and if he did go on the field trip and something did happen, she would call the Department of Children and Families. This behavior by her was enough to send me over the edge to report her to her higher management and dis -enroll our kids as soon as possible. I'm shocked she's still there. She started sweet, but deep down she is not a good person to families that might have it a little tougher than some. Of all people, she should have understood.
