My family and I were very disappointed with our experience when trying to schedule a school tour…read more As Deaf parents, we simply asked The First Academy to provide an American Sign Language (ASL) interpreter so we could fully understand the information being shared during the tour. Despite multiple emails and opportunities to reconsider, the school declined to provide an interpreter. Instead, we were told to rely on written communication, tablets, and "extra time," which are not effective or equitable substitutes for real-time ASL access. This does not provide meaningful communication for Deaf adults, especially during an important process like evaluating a potential school for our children. We were also told we could "bring our own interpreter," which shifts the burden of accessibility onto families rather than meeting basic inclusion standards. We left the interaction feeling that the school was not prepared to support the communication needs of Deaf parents. Accessibility should not be optional, and it should not depend on families paying out-of-pocket to participate. I hope the school takes this feedback seriously and re-evaluates its approach to serving Deaf and hard-of-hearing families in the future.

I had both of my kids going to Piaget.

Then I enrolled my daughter there, also a great experience, she learnt and I cannot say I have ever had a problem with the school or the school principles. Both of them loved the school. Really recommend.

I feel like the worst parent in the world for taking my child here at all. If your the parent with the autistic child there, they are hitting him I saw it with my own eyes (no I can not prove it bc the cameras are broken and fuzzy so you cant see what happened so they will get away with it now) . My biggest mistake was sending Mrs. Judy and email. If I could go through this process I would have called Florida Department of Children's and Families First and reported this incident there. Please if you love your children you will not take your child to this facility. if you have a child in there get them out. if you have no choose but to stay when something happens repot it to FLORIDA DEPARTMENT OF CHILDREN AND FAMILIES FIRST do not give miss Jude a chance to alter footage and corroborate stories. Also Mrs. Judy who was to report the incident immediately was slow to report the incident to the proper authorities. Do not trust her to do the right thing.

I truly appreciate the staff and the exceptional care they provide for the children. Their…read morededication to creating exciting, engaging, and above-and-beyond development and family activities is remarkable.
