My daughter was so happy when we first switched her from another center- she begged me to come everyday! She was only going twice a week, she's 2 1/2. Made from scratch meals everyday. No corn dogs, macaroni & cheese or chicken nuggets here! All kid friendly meals- made with fresh ingredients by the co-owner/ director, Jim, who was a chef in his former career. Video surveillance from home so you can "spy"....Truly a smooth move here in Ocala.

I would not recommend Carousel Early Learning Center. They just only care about numbers and money…read more They don't care about their employees or the kids. They will sugar coat everything. The owner will take a kid in his office, if the kid accidentlley says a swear word, or does something bad, and yells at them, and gives them a red star for the day. They have one teacher for a lot of kids, like 1 to 15 and for babies 1 to 8. And they always switch teachers.

Today was a bittersweet last day for our 3 Year Old from Kinderoo Academy which I would HIGHLY…read morerecommend to anyone who has a child that needs a quiet, safe, and supportive place to develop. Our little one arrived a year ago struggling with behavioral issues, biting, patience, temper... you know, terrible twos continued to terrible threes. We were just struggling to find a place that would help us help her- and that (and more) is what we found at Kinderoo. This team, Miss Marta, Miss M, I can't even begin to name all of them because it REALLY was a team effort; thank you to the entire staff of Kinderoo who poured their hearts into our little one until there was no space for anger, or aggression. They have been patient beyond all reason, and worked with her directly and helped us extend that home. She's a year older and we have made the very difficult decision to transition to a school closer to home- but we are so so grateful for the compassionate care, and emotional intelligence our little one learned while at Kinderoo. If you are looking for a quiet, reassuring, personal development space for your little one, my husband and I are so grateful, and so happy with the support of the Kinderoo family. Highly recommend.

This daycare is different ! I would never trust another daycare but this one for my daughter , she loves school , doesn't go in crying , I have camera access to watch her all day , I don't walk in and hear teachers yelling at kids , she has healthy food for breakfast , lunch and snack that are actual portions to make her full. All of the staff have been amazing from day one ! If you're looking for a safe daycare I would recommend them any day.
