St Pete Prep has truly become a second family to me and my toddler! I immediately felt at ease when…read moremy daughter started in the 1 year old class with wonderful Ms Toni! Their communication, kindness, and genuine love for children was evident from the start. As she progressed through the 18 month to 24 month classes, each teacher ( Ms Savannah , Ms. Ashleigh, Ms. Cheryl, Ms. Olivia) treated her as if she was their own child. Ms. Shelia and Ms. Bri, whom oversee the daycare and programs, are truly some of the most authentic and kindest souls I've ever encountered. They are all one big family and the smiles they bring to my daughter's face is something I will be forever grateful for. My toddler loves going to school and has brought home so many creative and special art projects and meaningful gifts for momma and daddy on certain holidays . They bring in Santa / the Easter bunny , and provide so many unique and valuable experiences as well as life lessons to all of the kids throughout the different age groups and programs. I cannot say enough about St pete prep and the staff that make this place as special as it is.

Id give a ZERO if i could! riting this in hope that it will save the next parent the stress in which it has caused me. I recently enrolled my daughter into Daycare at St Pete Prep Learning Center in St. Petetsburg. The first day, as the front office assistant walked my daughter & i to her class, i witnessed someone else's child (approx. 3 y/o girl) sitting on the bathroom with a bare bottom & her clothes scattered on the floor. I thought it to be a tad odd but didn't say anything. I sat down with my daughter & her class so she could feel comfortable before i left. After about 15-20 minutes or so she was comfortable and i left. Welll, as i walked out i couldn't help but notice the little girl was STILL sitting on her bare bottom on the bathroom floor. Again, it was my daughters first day, i didnt want to be "that parent", the annoying one that comments on everything. So i didn't Say anything. The next day when i walked into the classroom to pick my daughter up, she was in the corner crying by herself with snot all over her face. Which tells me she had been crying for a bit. I ask the teacher what's wrong, i didn't get a straight answer. I ask again & im told she had a few diarrhea diapers & as a result had diaper rash. She stated she applied Vaseline. So i immediately put my daughter on the changing table to see because shes never reacted that way. The rash was bad enough that someone should've called me. & not just because of how the rash looked but because of how my child was acting. In addition, i should've received a call due to the diarrhea they claimed She had. She clearly was in alot of pain & didn't want to sit down because of it let alone have a diaper on. But yet when i walked in, she was sitting. No one thought to even hold my daughter, console her, let her know its going to be okay. Or thought to call me? They should've called me. Who knows how long my baby had to sit on pain. Or continue to ge her butt wiped even though she's in pain to the point of tears! That night she couldn't even wear a diaper to bed, she literally cried herself to sleep with no diaper. And she slept on a towel. I understand kids get diaper rash & it can get severe, that's overstood. My problem is i wasnt notified. I don't understand how they can be in business. How could i possibly experience this much nonesense & licensing violations in just TWO DAYS? Long story short, i reported the daycare to daycare licensing & they will be investigated. But more so, i wish i knew the mother of the little girl that was sitting on the floor. In addition, i wrote a review on the daycare's Facebook page and in response they stated "i would definitely question this persons credibility. Follow this link & Check out her arrest record. REALLY?? What kind of parent is this?" & then posted a link to a records site showing my arrest for possession of marijuana. Then hours later deactivated the page, removed the reviews option & reactivated. If that doesnt speak volumes i don't know what does. Thank you for hearing me out.

The assistant director was there the first day we visited and we were very impressed, you could tell the parent's feeling were as important to her as the student's! Most importantly my granddaughter was thrilled....with the playground and we were thrilled with the kindness and the warm way everyone we met reached out to her and made her and us feel so welcome! Since she has been there the director and Assistant director have been visible and very hands on and accessible! Excellent at parent notifications and maintaining safety at the school-classrooms have keypads! Her teacher Miss Stephanie in the three year old class is exceptional! Professional, loving, caring and she is adored by her students! My granddaughter loves her and looks forward each day to going to school! A fantastic teacher. From a grandmother's perspective and that of a retired PreK teacher of 28 years I give my absolute seal of approval!

On the plus side, I think it's great for children to be exposed to different languages and cultures. Even though the director was cagey about teacher training, I know for certain that the teachers we saw are not Montessori trained. Good luck getting those types of questions answered. The classrooms themselves do not have the traditional Montessori sensory/manipulative materials. The materials were sparse generic and not traditional Montessori. There were very few books accessible and what was there was tattered and dirty. Again, Montessori inspired, at best.

Personalized tutoring available. The Head of the school Mr. Jim Zwers, Dean Sikica Feldman, Elly Lago and the rest of the Staff go beyond the ordinary to make sure all students are happy, learning and having the best school experience ever. The school is very supportive of the personal goals of each student, guiding them in that direction so they can accomplish their goals. My granddaughters have learned not only academics but social skills and athletic training with the Knights cheerleading team. The holistic approach to education of CAI is brilliant preparing these students for life becoming the best version of themselves, ready to be successful in our society and contributing as a member of a group. I highly recommend this school.

At times when My wife was leaving a message at the school she would not ever get a call back, Seemed as if you are not there talking to them eye to eye, There would not serve. I liked the play ground area, For a private school I give this place a 4 star. The only main draw back is, most of the children really do not finish high school here, they go to other places instead.

The staff and Ms. Alicia made me feel so comfortable during a time that was honestly one of the hardest for me--leaving my baby with someone else for the first time. They loved my son like he was one of their own, and watching him grow, learn, and make lifelong friends gave me complete peace of mind. Along the way, our family became part of the Victory community, and we've made friendships that will last well beyond preschool. When it was time for our younger son to start school, there wasn't even a discussion--we knew he was going to Victory. After our first experience, no other childcare center could compare. If you're looking for a place where your child will be genuinely loved and cared for, I can't recommend Victory enough. We will always be grateful for the impact they've had on our family.
