They are even going to pick him up from school and bring him to Bizzy Bee at no additional charge.

The environment is clean, caring and loving. Could not ask for anything more.

My daughter is always well fed and cared for, and she genuinely enjoys coming in and seeing the kind staff at this school.

I don't know her name in 4 months never laid eyes on her. they wouldn't let me bring a water or anything for him. i packed a small blanket for him and after 4 months they told me I couldn't pack that for him and that it needs to be a stuffy. so the next day i bring in a stuffy and she says "is this for show and tell tomorrow" i said "no its his stuffy since you said he couldn't have a blanket " she said "well this had to stay here all week or go home" which seems ridiculous. They said "well don't have room for a blanket" like what?? it fits in his backpack. His dad dropped him off Monday morning (we are separated) and I was going to pick him up Monday afternoon to start my week and so he brought my sons blanket because that's how we trade off and they said "ok well do it just this once". Also she told me he had some "anger management problems" come to find out my 2 year old had gotten stung by a bee and they didn't even notice. I caught two of the staff members aggressively talking to and treating the kids. Also the door is basically always unlocked when I come. "Number one academic preschool in the country" yeah right

This school and its staff have been an absolute blessing for my son and family. We have been…read moreattending this school since 2021 when my son was 2. He just graduated VPK last week, and it brought me to tears knowing our time here was over. Ms. Vanessa was his teacher when he was 2 and she followed his class up to VPK. She has grown so much in her teaching career and as a person and I'm so thankful for her patience with the kids. My son had the tendency to act out some days (as all toddlers do) and she handled it and him beautifully. Ms. Vanessa sends photos of your child every day so you can always see what they're doing and learning. Which is nice because you don't have to worry about what your child is doing. Ms. Maria also started as a teacher and has moved up to being one of the best directors there. She was always so excited to see us every single morning. She would hug and love my child as if he was her own. Watching her work so hard to earn her director title was inspiring. I watched her as all the children would run and hug her when she entered a room. She loves this job. Period. Ms. Mavis, one of the other directors is so calm and caring for each of the kids across all the rooms. She reached out and let us know how our son was doing frequently and her demeanor around the kids was always that of a loving mother and friend. She was firm enough with the kids to keep the ship afloat. She has since moved on from Kinderhouse but she visits and helps out frequently and like Ms. Maria, was always so excited to see every child walk through those doors each and every day. It takes a lot to run a daycare and to maintain a clean, happy, loving environment for kids. Any parent who says otherwise about this place is quite literally delusional and probably has a personal issue. If you want your child to be loved, taken care of, and most importantly you want a great education for them, you'll send them to Kinderhouse Preschool!

My son has been at Kinderhouse Preschool since he turned 2 -- and I have watched him blossom. Achieving a 5 star ranking is no small feat -- as a VPK and School Readiness provider, Kinderhouse Preschool MUST comply with high standards set out by the Florida Legislature. I have a Masters from Georgetown in Education & Social Public Policy -- and I have been profoundly satisfied with this school. Early Learning as a system is one of the hardest vocations and businesses with the TIGHTEST margins -- with the cost of living rising, and Sarasota overall ties the cost of childcare in Miami now, Kinderhouse Preschool has tried to keep things as affordable as possible. Treat our teachers as the heroes they are, willing to watch and teach our babies and keep them safe while I work.
