The new director is a god sent and I love my sons teachers, they are amazing and show my son so much love and support. Which is what I always worry about when im not present.

I love being able to view a livestream of her classroom anytime through their app, and getting daily updates and photos of her day. I also love that they make sure there are books for kids to access any time in every classroom. They have a great outdoor area and indoor gym too. Attending La Petite North Port is a wonderful experience for our family.

Everything about Accel is absolute love. From their dedicated and compassionate teachers (and Ms…read more Tiffany!), to the curriculum and engaging activities with the children. Ms. Faye is beyond remarkable with our child, and when we have to advance to the next class it will be a gloomy day. I recommend this academy 10/10, for their safety protocols in place, conscientious efforts to keep children healthy and proactive approach for behavior. I will be disappointed when we leave, but happy to know our absence frees up a space for another child to enjoy the amazing beginnings they'll receive here.

The Starfish Academy needs to be shut down and reviewed for ethical violations. My experience has…read morebeen horrific and it has given me an alarming concerning for the families who bring their children to Starfish Academy. I removed my child from enrollment multiple times (as her attendance is a violation of our families Parenting Plan), yet the facility is so desperate for headcount that they allow for her to be dropped off by her father, despite multiple attorneys, judges, and even a mother requesting for this to stop. Their staff has been absent upon check ins and front desk unaccountable. There are dangerous play spaces that lack cleanliness, and don't even have sunshades to protect against the Florida sun. The rooms that have no windows and smell of fecal matter. Also, they have unaccounted for adults "work with' children, blurring the line between mental health facility and daycare. My child was injured multiple times, and even with fever without the school notifying me. I would think twice about this facility as it is unsafe and I've personally found it to be functioning without ethics.

We feel so grateful to have found The Starfish Academy! We toured most of the preschools in the…read morearea from North Port to Sarasota. As first time parents, we had extremely high standards for our child's first school experience. Most of the schools were very underwhelming, with crowded classrooms and not the cleanest of environments. After we toured Starfish, I couldn't wait to ask for an application. The class sizes are perfect, small, tailored so you know your child is getting the one on one attention they need and deserve. The teachers are so, so warm and inviting. They made us feel like home. The school is extremely clean, organized and we especially loved their montessori style learning centers. Our son receives speech and occupational therapy which they have on site. No longer did we have to pick him up early from school to run around trying to get to all of his appointments. His therapists are literal angels! The amount of progress he has made since starting at this school is something we could have only dreamed of. You can tell that every team member is truly invested in the children's growth. They don't bat an eye at helping with potty training, trouble with naps, picky eating etc. They have always been more than willing to help with anything we suggest and with open arms and a smile. We cannot recommend the Starfish Academy enough. It's exceeded all of our expectations and more

They are very responsive on the app and that's my favorite thing because it gives me peace of mind.

It seems multipul times a year they overcharge me and refuse to remedy the situation. My child gets descriminated against for arguing with management. Yes it is very true as another reviewer posted about refusing to take children on the first day of the week with payment causing me to miss work. This payment discrepancy was also a result of them hiking the price on me the week before and me not having enough. I brought money and my child Monday and was refused. They are total scumbags and take zero resoncibility for anything.
