I highly recommend this school. Their curriculum is top notch and every single one of the staff members from front desk to teaching staff to administrators are so kind and nurturing. You can really tell they absolutely love their job and love the kids. My daughter has learned so much in one year. Way more than she did two years prior at other schools. Highly recommend. read more

Has so many issues and I pray things change but very uncomfortable with so many things there that defeated any resemblance of an educational and promoted lack of value. I pulled my son. They are hideous. Run! Run! Run! read more

I feel compelled to share my experience at Get Ready, Set Grow Academy as a word of caution for potential JOB SEEKERS . Unfortunately, my time there left much to be desired, and I believe it's important for others to be aware of what they might encounter. I strongly discourage anyone from considering employment at this academy. My role was quite different from what I had anticipated and was seemingly disconnected from the original job description. Initially brought in as a Maintenance Technician, my responsibilities primarily centered around tasks such as child supervision, front dest,gate security, and property decoration. I found myself functioning more like an errand boy for the assistant director, who bombarded me with phone calls throughout the day to do things for her which were non maintenance related. Furthermore, my interactions with the other maintenance colleague were far from pleasant. His inconsistent moods and unprofessional behavior created a challenging work environment. It felt like working with a co-worker who had unpredictable mood swings, which significantly impacted team dynamics. After almost 90 days, I was unexpectedly let go via a text message from the executive director, an approach I found unprofessional and disheartening. To sum up, my experience at Get Ready, Set Grow Academy was disappointing due to the significant role mismatch, the nature of tasks, and the challenging work environment. I share this to ensure others are well-informed when considering employment opportunities here. read more

This was the worse experience for my 5 year old child and my self: Experience 1) When my child would finish his work early and correctly (on all occasions) he would go over to play with the toys and get screamed at for leaving his seat. When I asked my child about this, the response was "they have so many cool toys but we are not allowed to ever play with them and I was finished with my work for a while". If you look closely at the toys in the hallways and rooms you would have found a layer of dust on them all. However after this review I am sure they will clean them. Experience 2) I went to school early to discuss a few things my son was telling me, kids being screamed at, spanked, put in the corner. When I arrived I walked in on a teacher tutoring a child before class on how to write properly/hold a pencil. Not sure exactly what she was teaching, because when I walked in I caught her slamming the child's hand that had the pencil in it on the table, screaming at him "LIKE THIS!". Experience 3) The principle wanted to put my child in a weighted vest because he kept getting out of his seat and suggested we put him on medication. When asking our child why he was getting up, his response " I finished my work and wanted to play with all these great toys" . Yes I confirmed with the teacher he did complete his work. And yes, there are nice looking toys everywhere, but have dust as they are not used! We proceeded to have our child tested as we had concerns as this was our first child. What all the test results came back was our child was highly advanced. Now our child is in a much better school doing fantastic, has skipped a grade level and looks forward going to school every day. However it took a year for our child to get over the fear of school, I was afraid the trauma they put our child through would not be reversible, it too read more

Everthing revolves about money and how they can squeeze more money out of parents. Zero concern for actually teaching and the wellbeing of kids. Stay away, many other options in the area! don't be fooled by the looks if it. read more

We are very happy with this preschool for our son. We toured a few in the area before committing and were truly blown away by the environment, curriculum and staff at GRSG. After touring quite a few preschools, we felt no others could compare. The atmosphere and decor, the staff, the enrichment options, security and teacher/student ratio are A+. My son has been attending for a few months now and we have seen many positive changes already in him. We also love being able to check the app to get pictures and updates while he's in school. The staff seems to truly care about teaching and preparing them for a school setting. read more

This was a great daycare that my son absolutely adored. But their entire response to the COVID-19 pandemic has been horrific. I am an essential healthcare worker and they literally closed the close at 8 am on a Thursday with zero warning and I was left struggling for daycare. They have not reimbursed us one penny during their 8 weeks of shutdown. And further, his teacher tested positive and they shut down another 2 weeks, but still insisted on taking full tuition. Every child there is just a dollar sign to them. Do NOT send your child here. read more

Great environment for our kids to flourish ! The teachers and staff are wonderful and very attentive with a strong focus on learning and growth ! Great stepping stone for the next chapter in our kids journey! read more

I toured and signed up with  Get Ready Set Grow Academy   and thought it would be a good facility to send my child to. It seemed well organized and had a lot to offer.  Five  months before my child's enrollment was supposed to start they started deducting payments from my account.  This was when Covid lockdowns started and their school was actually closed.  I told them I was willing to give up the reserved spot for August if they would stop deducting money and having me pay for school that had not started yet. They said it was an iron clad contract "good luck trying to get out of it,no one has". I even expressed concerns about my child's underlying health issues and it did not matter.   They want me to pay for school that my child had never attended or seen.  Health issue concerns  during the pandemic did not matter.  It was clear that they are just looking out for their bottom line and not about the health or safety of the kids.  This was confirmed with the negative news stories that have been published in the recent weeks about them.  All that glitters isn't gold. read more

I could not recommend a better learning environment. My child just graduated and I am beyond pleased with her academic experience. The teachers are loving and truly cared for my child like their own. I have another child still enrolled in the school and they are thriving as well. I noticed a few reviews that do not justify the experience I received. The entire staff was always welcoming and very involved. Set up a tour and I promise you will not be disappointed! read more

I LOVE Get Ready Set Grow Academy! The staff is caring and the environment is absolutely beautiful! My son is learning so much and is so happy to go to "big school" everyday! He is busy learning and having fun the moment he steps into his classroom! Administration is always helpful and very quick to respond to calls. I am very very happy that I send my son to GRSG! read more

I could could not agree with Rich more. Every single word he wrote is true. This school is run by a bunch of angry, unprofessional people who don't even like kids (or people in general for that matter). Ms. Sue yells at both kids and parents, she gets physical too (I witnessed her grabbing my son by shoulders and shaking him!!!!). My son is traumatized by something that happened at school, and now is crying every time we get close to the school. I am trying to pull my kids out of this school, but these people are not about solving problems amiably. They called police on us today, and we were ejected from the school!!!! And Ms. Sue (director) was laughing as we were leaving! ABSOLUTELY unacceptable! read more

A complete waste of money!!! Do not be fooled by the murals, decor, or toys. Your child will learn nothing and the administration is horrible!! The manager at Publix cares more about your kid!!! read more

This school is a total waste of money. Beautiful interior but horrible staff. The director is rude and not even the least bit nurturing. The owner will walk past you and not even speak. This place does not care about children, all they care about is money. Staff and teachers are incompetent and should not be working in the childcare field. The director Sue is a know it all and is insensitive to the needs of children.. This place is about making money that's all! Keep your kids away from this hell hole. read more

Perhaps the finest preschool in Florida. Unique campus and facility designed for the age group it services. Academically and personal health oriented providing each child with an exceptional amount of attention with its 1 to 5 coverage ratios and well staffed administrative offices. Seasonal decors with historical and geographic themes constantly changing the environment to suit the period are just one of the many unique elements of this extraordinary school.It doesn't get any better than this. Like anything at this quality level its fees are higher than its competitive brethren but, for those who can, it's a must for your preschooler. I wrote this review in response to some reviews by parents who clearly rationalized the their decision to be frugal with their preschooler's education at the expense of giving the school an unearned negative comment. One visit to this school is the best response to any questions one might have about which preschool your child should attend. read more

GET RIPPED OFF, STOP GROW!!! I'm writing this for all the hardworking parents who desire higher quality of education for their children. More expensive is not always better!!! My experience with this facility was very unpleasant. The teachers that I encountered with were not qualified. My son's teacher did know how to spell the simplest words while I was in the class. When my son's class was changed due to that issue, to my surprise the second teacher was harsh, rude and unfriendly and disrespectful to my poor innocent 3 year old. My son's self-confidence suffered tremendously as a result. We were lucky able to realize it soon enough and withdrew him from the program before the end of school year. The owner, Mr. Joe has no teaching educational background and all he cares about is find a way to milk every dollar out of you. My son has recovered from that horrible experience and is off to a new start for this academic year but I urge you parents not to fall for the looks of this facility...I wish I could have known all of this prior and avoided this unpleasant experience for our family especially my little son. read more

I had the worst experience at this school. The staff is cold and extremely rude. I experienced a teacher sleeping with my ex husband. I spoke to the school about this being a conflict and they totally tried to say I was lying. Well the teacher then had a child by my ex husband they wouldn't deny it and I was never given an apology. Then the school kicked out my son for having number two accidents even after a doctor wrote them a letter stating he was in medical care to try and solve the issues. We had paid up front and they would not refund the money. The teachers are not kind and warm. They director is the devil. I couldn't even imagine her choosing a job with kids bc she is such a cold woman. read more

Our three children have been through the program at GRSG over the last 10 years. Our experience has been nothing but positive. The teachers all care and love the kids very much. My suggestion would be to contact the admissions teams at any of our local fine public and private schools. The feedback we received when looking at options for Kindergarten was the program at GRSG does a great job preparing the kids. The program is not cheap and it is a for profit business. Rude, and a waste of time it is not! read more

I agree with Mary B's post. Stay away from this school. The staff is beyond rude. They don't care about the children, they only care about money. My child didn't learn anything there. And beware, the after school enrichment classes are nothing more than an extra 45 minututes of babysitting. The only thing that this school has to offer is nice decor. Stay away, please read more
