We've been driving our kids 20 minutes from Palm Beach Gardens to ABC Montessori of Jupiter Farms…read morefor the past 2 years. Mrs. Michelle runs a solid school, with Mrs. Nancy greeting kids at drop-off and Miss Serena handling the day-to-day operations. My kids talk about Miss Jessica and Mrs. Beth all the time, and it's clear the teachers here genuinely care about their students. The school mixes different age groups and rotates kids through various classes throughout the day. They spend a good amount of time outside, which was important to us, and incorporate monthly themes into their learning. Both our kids are testing above grade level in reading and math, but they're learning it all through activities that keep them engaged. We actually wish Mrs. Michelle would open an elementary school - we'd definitely send our older daughter there. If you're looking for quality education and care in the area, this place is worth checking out. I've seen some reviews where people haven't had a good experience, but honestly, we've never had any issues with the school. The staff has always been transparent with us, and Mrs. Michelle and the teachers genuinely care about what they do.

I had a bad experience here so many unanswered questions to why they never called me why my…read moredaughter saying they push and pulled her in the room ( they have no cameras to show me otherwise ) and why they wouldn't pick up the phone 3 times I called when my child was in distress from being sick and the loud noises crying and them gaslighting her in a corner they NEVER called me only send something on dojo. Never.DOJO is not a means to contact a parent ever in urgency or emergencies . I signed for my means to call me in urgencies I never signed dojo ever . Even with that said if I didn't answer on dojo your next means would be to contact her father which you didn't . I am sad because it was 3 days only but now have they ruined both our first experiences to going to school and future with trusting others with my child. That is all I am going to say ... hope they get the help they need to be more loving and attentive to children especially when children are sick . She threw up 5 times when I got her from sick and stress and was diagnosed with rhino virus hours later . If you had checked her tempature you would have known the loud noises were loud and she was sick and it probably magnified it . But there is still no reason to keep saying we don't hear anything in a video where I can hear loud noises nor is it ok to NOT call a parent when a child is in distress when you knew I said call me anytime like you did the day before and that I live close by and a stay at home mom . You chose not to call me but to email me disturbing to me photos of my child in distress and then I'm rushing there and not once but 3 times no one answers . Does this seem ok ? Why didn't you use the proclaimed calming corner you said you have in your handbook when she was crying because of the sounds and or sickness ? This doesn't make any sense to me . Why didn't the director or the front desk take her out of the room somewhere quiet access her and call me ? Exactly . Ps I tested my child since you said all this stuff about her and she scored above for her age developmentally she is very smart and educated. This is a daycare this is not a Montessori by any means from my experience .

My child then came down with hand, foot, and mouth on day three of daycare. The director(Jhai) lied to me about any other kids having the virus. It was their fault for not ensuring my child used the right pacifier. Due to their negligence my child was forced to stay home the remainder of the week while I still paid the full weekly rate. Send your kid somewhere else. Don't believe a word the director says because she makes promises and gets amnesia when it's actually time to deliver. The director told me told me, I would get a discount based off my employer and actually quoted me what to pay. Then had the audacity to tell me all of the on-time payments I made were late. When we reviewed all of my payments with my credit card statements it was discovered they were all on-time and in the correct amount but she still acted like she was doing me a favor. Stay away from this place!!!!!!!

Quick Reference:…read more Pros: - Sanitation and child health taken seriously - Regular handwashing, bootie shoe coverings, and glove wearing (long before COVID-19, y'all) - Safe feeding, meaning bottles only made at home and labeled with date, contents, and kid's name - Good ratio of teachers to babies (1:4, sometimes 1:3) - Good activities, even for bitty babies, sensory exercises, tummy time - Pay weekly, or pay monthly. Monthly gets you a discount! - Teachers and staff clearly care a lot about kids Cons: - Morning traffic in the area can be... frustrating. There's a Comcast back in the industrial park, and an Altec Roofing, so if you get there at just the wrong time in the morning, you might have to survive the flood of vans and trucks. - That's basically all the Cons. For the longer story: Our baby boy was due in September 2019, and my husband and I were slacking on getting childcare arranged so we finally started looking at places in October (I know, please don't judge us). We live in Martin County, but we both work in West Palm Beach, so we were looking for something at either end of our commute.We started with Martin County so we would have a short drive to drop BB off in the morning, or if we needed to drop him off but didn't need to go to WPB, but it has almost N O T H I N G worth looking into for an infant. They're either for 12mo+, full, too expensive, or some combination of, up to and including, all three. Village Boulevard KinderCare had been on the radar from the start, as it's about 15 minutes drive from both our workplaces (in good weather, with no traffic, and if the Traffic Light Goddess smiles on you; 20-30 under normal conditions) and though there weren't many Google reviews (and no Yelp reviews at the time), what was there was extremely positive. Hubs and I called the center, and to our delight, it was a direct line in! No IVR-press-1-to-speak-to-another-robot! We made an appointment to come in and take a look around the next day during Universal Nap Time. We brought 3-week-old BB with us, and he charmed everyone (as is only proper for any brand new baby; they're all adorable af). Jhai, the center director, and Angela, the assistant director, were both a joy to meet. They take infant and child health seriously in this place. Since we had a bitty baby, one of us stayed in the foyer area with him while the other was shown all the things in the infant room, and then we switched. Whoever was going in the room had to put on booties to cover their shoes so the floor didn't get dirt and germs from outside tracked in. The teachers in the infant room wear those booties all day long, warm up bottles and food while wearing gloves, and they do diaper changes with gloves and a new cover paper (like at the doctor's office!) for every change. This was standard, even before COVID-19 became a thing. After that, restrictions on entry to areas beyond the foyer were put in place, and then restrictions on entry to the building, plus PPE for staff. Speaking of bottles, they send home bottle labels because they practice safe feeding, and the only one to make the bottles is the baby's parent/guardian. That way, your baby doesn't get someone else's formula or breastmilk by accident. Speaking of breastmilk, those labels are RED instead of white, so it's absolutely clear that there's a difference. We've been bringing our baby here since he was 8 weeks old. He's nearly 7 months old, now, and we still just love bringing him here. When he starts school in a few years, it's up in Martin Co. I'm not looking forward to his last day at VBKC. We've been working from home now for about three weeks because of the pandemic, so BB hasn't seen them since then. They're keeping his spot open and listing us as drop-in until things settle down. I can't express how much that helps us. Though our family isn't in need of daily care, there are a *lot* of essential workers out there who do, and these guys are awesome for supporting them. We can't wait to go back!

Christina is extremely knowledgeable, compassionate, attentive to your child's needs and makes each of her clients truly feel like family. My step-daughter truly loved visiting "Miss Christina" on Saturdays. She knew she was visiting an office and working with staff who met her exactly where she was on that particular day. Christina and her team worked so hard to ensure speech therapy was fun, exciting, creative and something to look forward to. The team focused on each child's specific interests to incorporate into each session. The Palm Beach Gardens community is so lucky to have Christina's practice and expertise in the area!

Pros: ~ the instructors show a clear passion for surfing and it's contagious ~ the staff quite obviously loves being around children ~ my daughter learned a lot today; more than I expected Cons: ~ no sense of (or system in place for detecting) dangerous weather conditions. While my phone was alerting me of multiple lightning strikes within a 5 mile radius, these guys had no clue! I'm ok with them just being watchful for lightning beyond 10 miles. But 4.1 miles - come on Aloha. Nature doesn't work for you. ~ seriously unprofessional attire. Seriously, do a bunch of young children need to see your bare jiggly asses? One staff member was wearing a distasteful thong on the beach. Use some basic common sense and show a morsel or respect in a children's camp setting. Can't believe i even have to say this. ~ inconsistent supervision. One child floated way out on a board before he was noticed, some kids were burying an instructor, some were wandering around, some were playing in the water, and others were on boards. There was no real system for knowing who's where/with whom and if a child walked away or were taken, I suspect a long time would pass before it would be noticed. No wrist bands, no head counts, no accountability. This is a low-security camp. Not sure it's a good idea in 2019. ~ low instructor to camper ration = bullies can run rampant. There's always that one kid. And he's there now. Much bigger than the rest, singing inappropriate songs, dumping sand on kids' heads, dragging kids into the water that clearly don't want to be dragged, saying vile things. But he's mostly ignored and he just does whatever TF he wants. Maybe if you had more instructors for such large groups, you'd have a better handle on them. If these issues are addressed, i will be delighted to change my review. For now, it stands unfiltered.
