The campus is like a postcard, the teachers amazingly knowledgeable, kind, and professional, yet loving with the kids. The staff is magnificent. After the hurricane the school leadership, Mr. Salvo, acted superbly addressing safety, way ahead, and communicating with the parents how the response to the hurricane as a family was going as well as weaving the way ahead for the school insofar plans, strategy, and future. The Father and reverend at the church are warm and embracing all the faiths attending the school. We attend every chapel with our son. The teachers are always responsive, and the events are always very appropriate and joyful. Now our son will be learning the violin, and we are excited to see his progress. Being part of the St Mary's family gives us peace and warmth of heart. Academically superior.

Our family has been truly blessed by our experience at Ruskin Christian School over the past four…read moreyears. From the very beginning, we knew this was more than just a school--it's a Christ-centered community that genuinely invests in the hearts and minds of its students. The teachers and staff at Ruskin Christian go above and beyond to create an environment rooted in love, grace, and biblical truth. They not only teach with excellence but also lead by example, guiding our child in both academic achievement and spiritual growth. Every lesson, every prayer, and every chapel service is intentionally designed to point students toward Christ. We've watched our child grow in knowledge, confidence, and most importantly, in faith. The school's commitment to integrating biblical values into every subject and every activity has helped build a strong spiritual foundation that will last a lifetime. The communication and partnership between the school and parents have been exceptional. We've always felt supported, heard, and part of a larger mission to raise up the next generation of Christ-followers. After four wonderful years at Ruskin Christian School, we can honestly say it has shaped our child in all the right ways--spiritually, academically, and personally. We are so thankful for the lasting impact this school has had on our family, and we wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone looking for a place where their child will be known, loved, and challenged in all the best ways.

The teachers who made it great are all gone, and with them went the school spirit. There are no legitimate sports, as there are so few upper school kids, they have to incorporate lower school, even for basketball and football, where they are grossly undersized. Probably most telling is the number of board members, including board presidents, who pulled their kids and left the school.

Mr. J, the owner, is always around too, making sure that the kids are all happy and healthy and jumping in when the teachers need help. The whole place is sparkling clean. The food they serve makes ME want to eat lunch here. You can really tell that all of the teachers really love what they do and genuinely care about their students. The pricing is great as well. Highly, highly recommend!!!!

I wasn't just a parent who drops off and picks up I saw within as a worker and as a parent before kids cove became kids cove there was also Little Giants off Big Bend and Kids Cove Academy are probably the top two in the Riverview area & everything else is pretty average. I can say this because I either sent my children there or I worked there in the past ( five years ago or so) so I don't know how other child centers are now, but I want to compliment these two centers.

Update: This has continued to be a very unfortunate situation completely mishandled by the staff. They have now hidden experiences shared by community members including parents. Recently my child was subjected to racially insensitive comments. When this was bought to the attention of administrators it was treated as a matter of court law rather than Christian decency, kindness, and understanding. Instead my child's experience was reduced to hearsay and I was called aggressive while advocating for my daughter. The lack of accountability and knowledge on how to handle and identity this behavior from leadership is unfortunate They have kept almost all recent positive ones including from current and/ or former employees of the center. The extent this establishment is wiling to go to protect questionable behavior speaks volumes of all those who support it.

As respectfully as I can, I urge you to choose another facility. Here are a few examples: We were instructed to always tell the parents that their child had a good day- even if they had a terrible day. We were told that "if it was bad enough to tell them, we would have called". I did not agree with that policy, nor did I follow it. I am glad to have had a comfortable relationship with the parents of my kids in my class, so I would always tell them the truth about their child's day. There have also been some licensing concerns that have gone ignored by the directors and owner. One specific instance was during our afternoon nap, we would combine a couple of rooms. We were always over-ratio, with more kids than allowed with the amount of adults we had. When licensing pointed that out, we asked our director about it later and suggested breaking our nap into a couple rooms instead of one. Our director then told us that we wouldn't do that, instead if licensing came again, we would just "pull a few kids into the common area" before they came back to check our room. That is a clear example of the director putting her own convenience in place of the safety of the children. I have personally witnessed the director lying to parents about what we do and don't do... We did not clean our toys daily or weekly like my director informed the parents. In fact, the only time I pulled out all of my toys and thoroughly washed them was after my class had a couple Covid cases. In addition to those things, we constantly had ants crawling everywhere. On the countertops, on the high chair trays, and on the floor. We brought it to our director's attention many times, but nothing was done. My director also lied about contacting parents when she said she had. We had a student who was out for a couple days, so we asked the director about him. (We LOVED those kids like our own and we were worried!) She then told us that she would contact his parents and ask for us. Another week went by, and the child finally returned. We asked mom where they had been, since our director told us she never got an answer after reaching out "multiple times". On the contrary, the student's mom told us that she never received a call or text from our director. While my coworkers and I were always loving and compassionate, I do not think that we were able to make up for the systematic downfalls of this school. I want the best for your children, ad in my opinion, Seaborn Beach Park will not be anywhere near the best.
