I used Chappell Riverside for my oldest…read moredaughter in 2018 and had a great experience so I was very happy that San Marco had an opening for my newborn in July 2022. My youngest daughter started at San Marco when she was 12 weeks old. Ms Chrissy and Ms Karen in the Pandas classroom are infant whisperers! They took such good care of my little girl! Mrs Helen is an absolute Angel and both of my girls have sweet, engaging interactions with her! Ms Mina, Ms Britt and Ms Charita in the Koalas classroom are excellent with the mobile infants. They did so many cute activities with them! They did a cute keepsake painting on my daughter's First Birthday that I will cherish forever! The teachers in the Alligators and Elephants are great with the toddlers! All of the staff is very friendly and know my daughters by name. Ms Stacey, Ms Carmen and Ms Sammy the Director are all very approachable and visible for parents and families to see. The Celebration of Nations that the school did in April was a great opportunity for them to engage the school community and as parents we were able to connect with the staff and had an opportunity to see the VPK students perform. It was an interactive immersive cultural experience that myself and my family enjoyed. I would 10/10 recommend this Childcare Facility to anyone looking in the San Marco/Riverside Area. It has a great playground for the kids and the staff treat your children like family.

We've been with Steam On Learning Center since our daughter was just 3 months old, and now she's…read morealmost 3! Finding a place that felt like a second home was so important to us, and we're genuinely so grateful we found this one. Our daughter is thriving! She is happy, learning so much, and surrounded by friends. She's ahead developmentally, and they've done an amazing job keeping her engaged, challenged, and supported every step of the way. They also handle the harder parts of toddlerhood with so much patience and care, like helping her learn how to get along with others and manage big emotions. One thing that really sets Steam On Learning apart is how they communicate. They treat both parents as equals, and that means everything. My husband always feels just as involved, and that respect goes a long way. The staff is loving, responsive, and really invested in each child. Our daughter is very high-energy, and they work with us as a team to support her both at school and at home. The owner is fantastic, she is approachable, thoughtful, and always looking for ways to make learning fun. She creates such a joyful environment, and the kids love all the themed days and special activities. If you're looking for a daycare where your child will be seen, supported, and truly cared for, while also learning, growing, and having fun I can't recommend Steam On Learning enough. It's been one of the best decisions we've made for our family.

My youngest son goes to their Daycare program three days a week. The facility and teachers are…read morereally top notch. It has been a couple of months and can already see an improvement in my little one. He is used to being around other people and other kids too. They have their standard classrooms and an additional music room. The teachers are smart, encouraging and they know what they are doing. They do the best to ease you into leaving your kids with others for the first time. The first day of school they had a breakfast for the parents to ease their minds a little. They have 2, 3 and VPK programs. Like most places in Florida the their VPK program is free. The 2 and 3 year old program you have to pay, depending on how many days a week you child attends. They have a 2 day program (Tuesday & Thursday), 3 day program (Monday, Wednesday & Friday), and the 5 day program which is from Monday thru Friday. Picking and dropping your kids off is easy. You can either wait in the car line, or you can stand by the front door. They like it if you use the car line. It makes it easier and faster on the staff. I am happy we found a great facility to take my youngest. They really treat it like a kindergarten class. So they don't only play around they also teach and assess the kids.

Gosh, I love this school! If you let me, I will rave and gush about it all day. My daughter (3…read moreyears old) started out with their summer camp program and then graduated into their PreK 1 class with the other 3 and 4 year old's. Every time I walk my daughter across the campus I am FLOORED that every employee we encounter knows her name and greets her with a wide smile! St. Mark's Episcopal has hit the mark on everything I was looking for in a school: 1. The Playgrounds are awesome, well kept, and there's three different playgrounds depending on the age group. 2. Communication is lighting fast! You get *immediate* responses from the enrollment director, the teachers, and any other staff questions you may have! They also upload photos from all the fun the toddlers are having throughout the week! 3. The Community you feel is amazing. I was floored when they invited me to a party for *JUST* the parents of the kids in the class. They really want you to know other families and create a bond that lasts for years. 4. Education has been awesome. Only half of the year has gone by but me and my daughter play a game where I'll name a word and she will tell me what letter it starts with. She was unable to do this before the fall started. The lesson plans are so clever, interesting, and I'm jealous I don't get to do all the fun stuff too! 5. The classrooms doesn't look "sad." Everything is bright, polished, CLEAN, and loads of stimulating activities for the children to interact with and play with. I really feel loved, my daughter is excelling, and I get the warm and fuzzies every time I arrive. I really cannot recommend this school enough. I love you St .Mark's Episcopal!
