Background - baby No. 1 started at TLE with the previous owners and was there for 9 months. Mr. William and his team took over about 1 month before baby No. 1 moved to a daycare closer to home. In that short month, we had already seen an improvement with the change of ownership. I can't say enough about how much this daycare has improved since the new owners took over. The difference is night and day. Mr. William was very welcoming the moment we reached out about baby No. 2. It was like we had never left. They make you feel like family. I love that they decorate for the holidays. This year baby No. 2 got a little gift for Easter that was age appropriate. It's clear that Mr. William and his team have brought a real passion for early childhood education and a commitment to excellence.

They love going to school. These kiddos are always happy, smiling and in all around much better moods. This place has really helped turn them around and make learning fun. It's a very positive atmosphere and they love it! When we go at different times of the day, it's always clean and staff is always smiling and happy to help. They have much healthier and quality food options, than I have seen everywhere (not unprocessed/ packaged food). My son had a particularly hard time at a previous daycare. He had daily behavioral issues, would try to escape, and all around just seemed maybe bored/ unhappy. Here he is like a whole other person. They've even been taking the time, to help get him potty trained; so, he can move up in classes where he should be. He says good morning, hi, bye, have a good day, and hugs everyone in his class when he leaves and gets to school. They are just truly great with them and are doing wonderful things with these kiddos! Would absolutely highly recommend this place!

It was our top choice from the very beginning, and although we had to spend some time on the waitlist, it was absolutely worth it. Once our son turned one, we finally got a spot. We've been thrilled ever since. The teachers are incredible, friendly, attentive, and truly passionate about what they do. The curriculum is a great balance between learning and play. Also, they provide nutritious meals and snacks, which makes our lives so much easier. The daycare also hosts events throughout the year that are always fun and thoughtfully planned -- it really feels like a community. And now, we are super excited that Baby No. 2 is officially off the waitlist and will be joining soon! We couldn't ask for a better environment for our children to grow, learn, and be loved.

I have been nothing but beyond impressed. To say the very least. I could go on and on about specifics, but I don't want to waste too much time. Some of the key mind blowing facts that contribute to my belief in how amazing this daycare is are: Notifications each and every time your child opens or closes their eyes/takes a bite or sip of anything/used the restroom. They post you pictures (if you allow them) and videos so you can see how your children interact and how they are feeling that day. They really get to know your kids on a personal level. My kids have grown so much in the few months they have been in this school. I'm so very impressed and thankful to have found this school.

I have to say I am thoroughly impressed with this daycare. When we first moved to Oviedo I toured a…read morelot of places and although they all seem nice on the surface when you start reading reviews and talking to people who worked there the truth is scary. With Godard Oviedo what you see is what you get and they practice what they preach. Aside from the personal narratives of the people who recommended it I witnessed with my own eyes when we were on tour how caring the staff is of each and every child including the director Scott who picked up a kid who seemed visibly upset when we passed by him and comforted him as if it were his own child. The ladies at the front desk know each kid and parent and treat them with concern and affection. They are always kind and cheerful. Since my toddler began going there I have seen drastic improvement in areas of language, creativity, fine motor skills, and most importantly sleep. She no longer needs to be rocked to sleep. Best part is she also is starting to potty train thanks to her teachers. The love and care for our little ones is obvious and it extends to how well taken care of the facilities are. The location is fairly new and all of the spaces look it. Everything is cleaned and sanitized regularly. They even remain open during Covid and have maintained a standard of health. The one thing parents should know is that they do not serve lunch here but you can opt into a catered meal service. They also don't have a a microwave so the kids lunch has to be shelf or temp stable from early morning drop off until the afternoon. They do not have cameras in the classrooms for parents to log into but you do get pictures and sometimes videos throughout the day in an app and you get a daily report.

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.

I didn't just want somewhere my child would be "watched"--I wanted somewhere that would actively nurture emotional intelligence and provide my child with the tools to excel in life. I'm thrilled to say that Kiddie Academy of Oviedo has surpassed my expectations in every way. The staff at Kiddie Academy of Oviedo truly understands each child and their unique needs. They are very intentional with every relationship, ensuring each child feels supported, encouraged, and understood. I feel like my child is genuinely seen here, and that is such a relief to me. One of the best aspects of Kiddie Academy of Oviedo is the communication system. It's incredibly user-friendly and transparent. I can check in regularly throughout the day and see how my child is doing through live updates and photos of activities. I get daily, detailed reports that cover everything--from how my child's morning went when they arrived to their eating habits, accomplishments, and the activities they participated in. I even get specifics on their nap times and what meals they ate, down to the portion sizes. This has been invaluable in helping me understand my child's nutrition and overall well-being. The teachers are fantastic--attentive, proactive, and clearly dedicated to giving the children a structured yet caring environment. They put a lot of thought into the activities they plan, and I can see the positive impact on my child's growth every day. The director is also wonderful--attentive and hands-on, she makes an effort to connect with every child and parent, which adds a personalized touch to the whole experience. I recommend Kiddie Academy of Oviedo 100% to any parent going through the transition of leaving their child in someone else's care. It's a place where I feel confident that my child is not just cared for, but genuinely encouraged to grow, learn, and begin to spread their wings.
