He was pushed off outside playground equipment from the other child and broke his collarbone. The teachers told my father upon pick up that my son was playing somewhere he should not be. For a couple weeks before the incident, he was coming home with severe bite marks, he started regressing in his potty training, and fell severely ill after being fed a bad cup. Their insurance company or school won't release the video surveillance showing the incident but the CPS agent already admitted to viewing the tape and agreeing to negligence. To my knowledge, those teachers are still employed and the child that bullied my son for weeks is still in attendance.

I am sharing my story because I want parents to be careful when putting your child under the care…read moreof this institution. It's very unfortunate that my daughter had to be the one who was hurt at only 9 months by the cartake named Wanda. My daughter had 7 sctraches all over her body. They were caused by Wanda with either her nails or jewelry. Which was inappropriate to have jewelry... wearing rings on all fingers when caring for the infant class. So unprofessional. The scratches were from her face to her arms to her pelvic to her legs. I saw only the one on her arm from the daily pictures in the tadpole app. When I called to ask Wanda consciously lied saying she came like that. That was so alarming because as any parent or caretaker or human being can imagine that any scratch will hurt and will cause a baby to cry. This is a disgraceful person. It was obvious NO GLOVES were used!!! And she did not report it. It was reported to the director and an occurrence report was done what I was further disappointed was that the next day before dropping my daughter off I wanted to make sure that Wanda was not there and she was. She should have been suspended until the true story was told. I did not drop her off. I took off and lost a days pay. I want to also point out. That day the meal report was wrong as well. items that i didn't provide my daughter were listed. God forbid she was allergic. I immediately withdrew my daughter from here. She was taken to the doctor to get it documented and the doctor was very surprised about this. My daughter is well but I don't trust daycare places any longer. I don't know what the status of her is. I am hoping she is expelled. The fact that she LIED is enough to know that this is a person that is not mentally stable. She is an abuser because she hurt my baby and lied. Pictures are attached. Others are on her face but I will not disclose.

They have planned activities for children and give updates to parents throughout the day. We had pleasure of having Miss. Irma first and Miss. Gigi second as Abdullah's teachers. My son's first school was a great experience and I will never forget the care they bestowed on my son. They were extremely nurturing and caring. Other employees we interacted was Miss. Morgan and miss.Sarah. The employees at this location work hard and address any issues. They helped my son be a nice caring boy that has well manners and is sweet to others. This school is for babies to 5 years old. It's a great option for parents who are working full time or need child help. They have full time programs and half day programs. It is a great thing for a child's development to put them in a program. I was extremely hesitant to put my son in at a young age but so happy that my husband convinced me. We loved the experience. Any one in Boynton, Delray, boca area should look at this school for an option for their young child's school option.

I don't care how many teachers they have in a room you can not watch or catch everything a child does. There are plenty of other schools around. Just move your child. I can tell you that something will happen again. That's the nature of toddlers. They don't have the words to express what they want to say, so they use their hands, feet or mouth to get across what they want to say. Maybe the child who but did it because your child would not leave this child alone or was taking toys away from the child or a million other things that can happen. Your child may be the one who is aggravating the other children. The director snd the teacher are doing all they can, I am sure. I didn't look at the date of your post but I just wanted you to know things like this happen all the time. And it's not because the teacher or the director doesn't care, because they do. But unless your child has someone follow him all day, there's no way to stop it. Perhaps they could let the child go that bit, but that's not the way to handle it. I'm sure they are/did do everything they can. Maybe get a nanny, that's the only way to stop other children from doing what toddlers do. Good luck and when he/they have the words to use, this will happen.

Our son has been enrolled at KLA Boynton Beach for over three years, starting when he was just over…read morethree months old. In the beginning, we truly loved the school. Under Miss Terri's leadership, it felt warm, consistent, and professionally run. Miss Martha, who worked with the infants, was exceptional and played a huge role in our decision to enroll. Back then, the staff felt experienced and connected to the families. Unfortunately, the school has changed significantly, especially under the new director, Dena. This past year has been the most difficult for us. Staff turnover has been constant--teachers come and go without any communication to the parents. At the beginning of the year, I met a lovely teacher at open house, only to find she was gone within a few weeks. No notice, no introduction to the new teacher--just a revolving door of unfamiliar faces. Most concerning was the lack of support during our son's potty training. We had specifically communicated, multiple times, that we needed the daily progress reports updated for medical reasons, especially so we could track bowel movements. Despite stressing the importance and necessity of this, the reports were rarely, if ever, completed accurately. It was frustrating, disappointing, and inexcusable. There's clearly a lack of training and support among the staff, and it reflects in the daily operations. Given how expensive KLA is, it simply doesn't live up to the high expectations or reputation it once had. It's a real shame, because it used to be a place we felt proud to be part of. We hope the school can take a serious look at its leadership and staffing issues, and return to the quality and care that originally set it apart. Until then, we can't recommend it to other families in good faith.

STMA is more than a school they are a family. Every staff member goes above and beyond to ensure the best for your children. Our oldest son graduated from VPK in 2019 the same year our youngest son was born. In the middle of Covid we found ourselves lost with not being able to find a early ed school for our middle son that was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes at the age of 1. After just one phone call STMA opened their doors and hearts to our middle son and welcomed him and ensured that he was given the same opportunities as every other child when other schools were not willing to grant him the same opportunity. When it came time to choosing a school for our youngest to attend there was no question as to where to enroll him. My family can never thank all of the staff at STMA enough, Any family that has the opportunity to have their children attend this school should take it with open arms, you will not regret it. Thank you again to all of the STMA Staff for the years of love, guidance and education that you have extended to our family, We are so blessed to have found you years ago when our oldest first attended your school.
