My family and I were very disappointed with our experience when trying to schedule a school tour…read more As Deaf parents, we simply asked The First Academy to provide an American Sign Language (ASL) interpreter so we could fully understand the information being shared during the tour. Despite multiple emails and opportunities to reconsider, the school declined to provide an interpreter. Instead, we were told to rely on written communication, tablets, and "extra time," which are not effective or equitable substitutes for real-time ASL access. This does not provide meaningful communication for Deaf adults, especially during an important process like evaluating a potential school for our children. We were also told we could "bring our own interpreter," which shifts the burden of accessibility onto families rather than meeting basic inclusion standards. We left the interaction feeling that the school was not prepared to support the communication needs of Deaf parents. Accessibility should not be optional, and it should not depend on families paying out-of-pocket to participate. I hope the school takes this feedback seriously and re-evaluates its approach to serving Deaf and hard-of-hearing families in the future.

My kids were both born in Florida, and our family has moved around quite a bit, so we've seen different school environments. That said, Windermere Prep has been much more than just a school for our family it has truly been an experience. The campus is beautiful. The classrooms and teachers are nurturing, and the school offers strong academic programs, including the IB curriculum. My children have also had opportunities to participate in international trips and other experiences that helped them grow beyond the classroom. At the same time, like any school, students still need to take responsibility for their own studying and effort. I've found several administrators and teachers including Mr. Villatico, Dr Fouche, Mr Muenker, Ms. Gemma very supportive and easy to work with. When concerns are raised, the school does respond and work toward solutions. We are proud to be Lakers.

My advice to anyone is stay away .

She has undoubtedly gone above and beyond dedicating herself to early childhood education for over 20 years. Her passion and compassion along with her genuine love for all the little ones is undeniable! Our son has attended the school for almost 3 years now. We feel so blessed that his first experience with formal education has been at Growing Minds. The teachers follow Mrs. Ansari's vision and have worked alongside her for years, (which is so rare nowadays) and makes such a difference! Being a Montessori School, our son has consistently had the same teacher: Mrs. Carattini. We could not be more grateful for how loving, patient, gentle, nurturing and caring she is. The result is, our son, along with his little peers' flourish into confident, independent, curious children who have undoubtedly been positively impacted by a unique, positive learning environment. Montessori education makes a world of a difference and challenges students to remain true to who they are while cultivating a genuine love for learning. I could not recommend Growing Minds Montessori School more highly to anyone who is looking for a solid educational foundation as well as a loving, nurturing environment for their child. It was the best decision of our lives, and it will be yours too!

I should have never left my child here, on the first day of a school no one was even there, and the teacher who finally showed up was struggling to even get inside. There was nothing to welcome the kids it was dark and cold and very underwhelming. My son went here for about 2 months, he would bring home worksheets of the same material for several days at a time. If I am expected to pay private school fees I also expect my son to have an actual book not a copy of a worksheet. I knew this was not the right school for us when we he brought home a work sheet with a misspelled word, how is it possible to trace words incorrectly. How can a kindergarten teacher be responsible for teaching my child when they see no issue with 'Airplain'? My true disdain for this child camp is that my son still talks about the harsh treatment the kids received for mistakes. At no point should a kindergartener have to hold themselves up against a wall while squatting with their arms extended, this is unacceptable!! I sent my child to learn not to be traumatized, 2 years later and he still is telling my horror stories of the time he spent at this child camp because obviously it's not a school by a long shot. I am highly skeptical of all the other 5 star comments, this school is extremely sketchy. My son is now in a charter school and excelling no thanks to his time at the child camp.

The Montessori teaching and experience was very engaging for my son, and he learned to read and do math exceeding expectations at his grade level. In addition, he grew extensively emotionally and socially as well. I believe Enlighten, due to its smaller class sizes, has the ability to focus on the students needs which was definitely a game changer for my son.
