I do not like to give bad reviews, but this facility for children and parents need to be warned!…read more We toured this "school" and absolutely refused to send our children there. The facility is an old home that has been turned into a daycare. It felt cramped and looked extremely dirty. Some of the examples are: The floors and area rugs/play rugs were excessively dirty, literal dirt, leaves, hair, etc and this is where the children are expected to nap and play. We were told that the floors were cleaned and mopped twice per day but this was very clearly not the case. The bathrooms were not kept up, toilets were not flushed when there were feces in one of them and there was urine on the seat of the other bathroom. The soap in each bathroom was water based and there was nothing to dry your hands on. The outdoor "playground" had filthy broken toys. The toys looked as though they were plucked from yard sales or garbage day collections. The toys had excessive dirt, mold and even bugs on them. It was not a safe place for children to play. The staff here were friendly and the owner, Mrs. Hamilton was a very nice person. She could not, however, answer questions such as how long her 2 other teachers had been there or been teaching in general, and she could not answer what the curriculum/objective for each class was. She had referenced the finances of her business leading us to believe they are not a sustainable business, which is probably why it was so dirty and run down. As far as being a "Christian" school, we saw one cross on the wall and no pictures or books about Christianity. When we asked about the Christian aspects of the daycare, Mrs. Hamilton said they sing "church songs." Mrs. Hamilton only spends part of her day the "school" and spends the other half of her day picking children up from school to bring back to the daycare. She genuinely means well I think, but between the lack of leadership, cleanliness, safety, and curriculum, this place needs to be shut down. I do not know how this "school" has 4+ reviews online. I can't comprehend this unless relatives and friends of the owner/staff left the reviews of themselves. I do not recommend this "school" at all and would encourage parents to skip the tour and move on with your school search.

First off the staff is very friendly and personable I have never had a negative interaction with any of the staff. Second, the class sizes are really small and my son gets a lot of attention. Third, they have an app that gives you timely updates about your child. They send you daily photos and videos of your child that brightens your day. Finally this day care has advanced my son in most of his milestones. He has grown so much on the little bit amount of time he has been there.

My son attended this school from his infancy through age 2. At first, we really loved the staff and…read morethe care they provided for my child. Once he moved from the infant side to the toddler side, though, we started to have problems. My son would come home from this school with mysterious bruises and scratches and we were always told that it was from rough-housing with another kid. Then we saw that one of the teachers from this school was arrested for child abuse while at this facility and we immediately pulled our son out. Turns out that all of the marks on him were given to him by a teacher and not another student. I didn't blame Park Avenue for this at first as there will always be bad apples that slip through any screening process, but they refused to accept responsibility and even allegedly physically threatened another parent who complained of this issue. Also, don't forget that this institution is owned by Tim Davis, the former Orlando Police officer who shot and killed his own son. Every time I drive by this place, I hope to see it closed but that has yet to happen. NEVER take your child here.

My niece currently attends Kids Together. My sister and brother in law did in depth research when…read moresearching for a preschool for their daughter to attend, and they could not be happier with their experience thus far. My sister has to be one of the most OCD people when it comes to health, wellness, and cleanliness. So I know that she would not let my niece spend any amount of time in a place that she did not feel was sanitary. Secondly, kids are bound to get sick, just like us! There's no other way around it. Should I quit my job because I catch the cold my co-worker has passed around? I also find it terrible that one of your issues is "endless fundraising" to charities. There is no pressure to donate. It is completely voluntary. Furthermore, I find it appalling that you are complaining about fundraising for great causes such as "breast cancer." My sister happens to be a cancer survivor, and I've sadly lost several family members to this terrible disease. So if my niece's school wants to take one small step to finding cures for terrible diseases, then I say, more power to them! As far as contributing to the education of our youth's teachers, I completely agree with the other good reviewer. In today's economy, teachers are being let go, budgets cut, and education going on the back burner. I am more than happy to contribute to the training of the teachers who are enriching and educating the lives of our children. After all, they are our future. Also, lots of schools ask for help with supplies. So it's not out of the ordinary. And again, my sister has never felt pressured to pay for anything outside of the regular tuition. Lastly, the comment that got me the most heated when reading this awful, uneducated review, was the fact you were complaining about spending time doing an art activity with your child on the weekend. Are you kidding me? I thought most parents look forward to the weekend to be able to spend that quality time with their children. What an artistic and fun way to do this! I actually have two of my niece's artwork pieces proudly displayed on my refrigerator. She was so excited to hand deliver her artwork that she did specifically for her favorite aunt and uncle. By the time I got to the end of the review and read the complaint about teachers' gifts, I was down right annoyed. I find it nice for the preschool to offer up suggestions for those parents that want to get their children's teachers a thank you gift. I've seen several of my friends ask for teacher gift suggestions on Facebook. If someone can provide a list and make it easier, all the better! Next time you feel the need to leave a bad review of any company, I suggest you bring real disadvantages to the table, instead of these ridiculous ones. I also suggest maybe doing something fun this weekend with your children; if it doesn't take up too much time in your busy schedule!

Do not listen to the illiterate person who wrote the review below. If you read through her horrible…read morereview and notice all the grammar and spelling mistakes, it completely discounts her ability to professionally rate a school. I will address some of her issues before I tell you how amazing this school is... So-called disadvantage #1: First of all, a 2 year old's bowel movements are unpredictable, if the toddler cannot tell the teacher he has pooped, it may take a few minutes for her to notice it.. Secondly, the sickness that your child was experiencing is a normal part of the child getting his immune system prepared for the rest of his life. It is unavoidable for children to be well when around other children but it helps prepare them for society and future illnesses. And FINGER is spelled F-I-N-G-E-R... your toddler may have learned that already from his Kids Together, go ask him. You must've forgotten to add to the advantages the part that your 2yr old was sitting down independently reading a book,which is amazing. So-called disadvantage #2 I have never once been specifically ASKED to sponsor a teacher for training. There is a generic request sent out to parents that would like to voluntarily participate. There is no pressure, no guilt.. just the ability to educate teachers to assist in educating your child. Personally you should have attended these classes and benefited from the English/writing classes. The ADVANTAGE is that the teachers are more prepared and it helps keep the costs of running the daycare down so your tuition is reasonable and the teachers can get paid more. So-called disadvantage #3 This disadvantage infuriated me.. this is what is wrong with our society. LAZY parents who do not want to invest time in educating or even spending time with their child. And I quote: "I did not see any reason that I have to spend time to do art work from the daycare on weekend, just because my child is too young to do anything" No child is ever too young to do artwork and it saddens me that you feel you should not help them on the weekend. It's selfish and pathetic. The teachers are trying to create an environment for parents to do something fun with their children and show all their friends what they created. Imagine how proud your child would be to walk in and talk about the amazing artwork he got to make with his mom/dad this weekend.. instead you probably just sat him in front of the TV all weekend because you needed some time to yourself. So-called disadvantage #4 I believe the list that was sent out was help the parents that CHOOSE to give gifts out. There were no requirements, no judging.. only voluntary. So-called disadvantage #5 First of all, this school hasn't even been open for 10years. Secondly the retention rate of ANY school (including the one your child currently attends), will always be low because of salary and the stress from watching 12 children all day. Clearly you cannot handle watching one child on the weekend because you are complaining about spending time doing art work with him.. Now, that I have disputed all of your disadvantages, let me tell everyone else some of the advantages you forgot to mention... #1 - This school has an amazing security system set up in which the parents must enter the clean and welcoming lobby and enter a password specific to each family. Only then can you gain access to the children and their classroom. I have yet to enter the lobby without a front desk manager, who always has a warm smile for me and my child. (They always know her name too.) #2 - Art work of the children are displayed EVERYWHERE! My child loves running to her room and seeing her friends and her artwork. She is so proud of it and happy to show me what she did. #3 - This childcare is Gold Seal Accredited from the department of children and families. They have a NAC accreditation as well which is something every parent should look for in their childcare, regardless if they attend this one or not. http://dcfsanswrite.stat... Also, if you look at the reports on the provider page, you will see almost perfect Inspections from the department of children and families. If you go to their website and look at the 'honors section' you will see other awards they have received throughout the community. #4 - The children are REQUIRED to wash their hands when they enter the classroom. This was amazing for me to see because it enforces health and general cleanliness of the children and the room. #5 - Their disciplining involves redirection instead of punishment. I don't know about you, but I prefer this method when someone else is left with my child. #6 - My daughter has LOVED all of her teachers. #7 - Flexible days #8 - Big kid cafeteria! I've reached my word max but I love this school and so does my child, highly recommend this school and happy that the previously negative reviewer has left.
