CMS was the only school they ever knew, and during their time there, we had the joy of watching them grow--not just as students, but as individuals. Academically, they thrived. When they transitioned to middle school and later high school, they were already ahead in Math, English, and Science. More importantly, they had developed a genuine love for learning. They became well-spoken, self-confident, curious, and independent thinkers with strong problem-solving skills. CMS taught them the value of thinking outside the box--always with a strong foundation in discipline and responsibility. They also became deeply aware of the importance of caring for our planet--its environment, animals, and plants. Their social lives flourished as well; the friendships they built at CMS have become like family to us. Over the years, we were fortunate to travel across the U.S., Mexico, and Europe as part of the CMS field trips, creating unforgettable memories together. We truly loved this school and everything it offered our children and family. If you're considering CMS, we wholeheartedly encourage you to visit, meet the incredible staff, and begin building the same lasting memories for your family. It's a decision we are forever grateful for.

Would even name his toys after them while playing at home. Morning drops off were good and he was excited to go to school. Come to follow school year we had nothing but problems. My son would cry and hold on to me for dear life in the mornings. He never wanted to go to school. Dad and I have 50/50 custody, so at first, I thought he was just having attachment issues. It broke my heart to leave him, but I had to work and trusted the school to take good care of him. I started noticing very early on that he was having behavior issues in this class. Almost everyday they told me something. They would complain about him never sitting still, not wanting to participate in activities, hitting his fellow classmates. I did my part and explained to him that we can't behave that way at school and need to be nice to his fellow classmates. There was an incident where he fell and hit his ear. They called me and told me there was a minor incident, but he is fine and not crying. His grandma picked him up from school that day, so I did not see his ear till the end of the day. His ear was extremely bruised and swollen. He wouldn't even let dad, or I touch it. When dad asked to see the video of how it happened, they claimed they do not have cameras in the class, but they literally have one right above the changing table.... They started labeling my kid as the ringleader in his class and a threat to himself and his fellow classmates. Claiming he is the ONLY one to not sit still, listen, and misbehave in a class FULL OF 2 YEAR OLDS. I'm not saying my son is perfect and is always on his best behavior, for crying out he's a two year old. But to label him as a threat? My final straw with this school was this coming Thursday when I received a long email on his behavior a WHOLE DAY later from when it took place. They stated they spoke with dad since it was his day to pick him up. The email that we were sent had things on there that weren't even discussed with dad. I decided to reply piece by piece to this email addressing each bad behavior. Most of the things they told me were behaviors he doesn't even display at home. The one that stood out to me the most was that he stuck his whole arm in the toilet!!! How was he able to go into the bathroom and do that without anyone noticing? When I addressed each thing and all my concerns in the email, the director (Jacqueline) responded, using her physiology multiplication. She basically ignored everything I said and stated that his bad behavior is going to increase due to him not being in school consistently. Mind you they sent him home every time he had a runny nose even if there were no cold symptoms, dad was not comfortable leaving him there, and he had missed more days of school with his other teacher and had no issues. She then proceeded to use the excuse that the teachers can't provide their undivided attention to him, yet again in his other class the teachers weren't able to give their undivided attention due to there being other students and he had no issues... To top it all off she disclosed confidential things that were said separately by dad and I. Almost as if she was trying to start something between us. Not once did she address my concerns on the neglect. All she addressed was how I am trying to attempt to accuse the school of targeting my son. Jacqueline states that they feel there needs to be a foundation made of trust, honest communication, and follow through between the school and the parents, but if your honest communication is not to her liking, she will kick your kid out! Dad and I did our part in talking to our son and explaining to him the behaviors he needs to display at school. And with the approach they took seemed as if we didn't. She does not work with you and your situation. We put our trust in this school every day we dropped him off. Dad has multiple videos of him being neglected and teachers complaining about the kids crying and not listening. Yet all Jacueline could say was he disrespected her teachers and herself. What a joke. To know he was not being treated the way he needed to be and to be shot down when addressing these concerns is disgusting. All she cares about is collecting the money from the parents. I have spoken with multiple people who have dealt with her, and they all have nothing nice to say. Do yourself a favor and don't put your kid in this school.

So even begin enrolling my child in this Montessori daycare was truly a mission. It took months to…read morebe able to receive a call back from the director and every time I would go in person I was always told she had "just left." I was finally able to tour the center, and I loved the layout of it and the activities the children were doing, the place was very peaceful when you walked in and everything seemed very put together. However, when tours are scheduled, I feel that people are always on their best behavior. I enrolled my kids in at the last minute and decided to drop them off in the middle of their day because I was running late that day. The toddler class was fine, and my son walked in happily. But when I handed my baby over to the infant class, I was completely disappointed. The teacher for the infant class was playing Cocomelon for the kids on her phone. A real Teacher would know that any screen time before the age of 18 months has detrimental effects on a child brain, especially shows like Cocomelon, which are designed to be addicted to babies and toddlers (literally, look it up.) I spoke to the director right away and informed her that I was not comfortable leaving my son in that class because the teacher was giving the babies screen time without the knowledge of the parents. The director said that she was not aware that this was happening and that it must've been a one time thing. However, when I asked the teacher why they were watching Cocomelon and she said that she used it as a transition for them to get ready to go to the park, which makes no sense. The director of the daycare was really nice and offered a trial week, but overall, I will not be enrolling my kids here simply for the fact that the teachers are doing things behind the directors back. Had it not been for that, I would've been happy to enroll my kids into this daycare as they had a lot of good programs for the kids.

We've had our son at PreTech Academy since he was just 2 years old, and I can confidently say this…read moreschool has been an amazing experience for our family. He has gone through Pre-K2 all the way to VPK, and the growth we've seen is incredible. The teachers are truly nurturing, caring, and very engaging with the kids. They make learning fun while still focusing strongly on academics, which is very important to our family. My son can write his first and last name, is learning how to add and subtract, and is leaving VPK already writing words and understanding letter sounds (which is so important!). He's also doing very well with CVC words and scored highly on the Florida VPK assessments, which really shows how well they prepare the children for kindergarten. The staff in the front office are just as amazing they know not only my child's name, but also his siblings who don't even attend the school. That personal touch means so much. The director is always present, greeting families and knowing parents by name, which creates such a warm and welcoming environment. Another huge plus is how clean everything is. The school does an excellent job maintaining cleanliness, and my child rarely gets sick, which speaks volumes. Overall, the entire staff is warm, caring, and truly invested in the children. We are so grateful for the love, attention, and strong educational foundation our son has received here. Highly recommend!

Over the past few months, I've encountered repeated instances of misinformation, poor…read morecommunication, and a clear unwillingness to take responsibility for avoidable mistakes. When I addressed a billing error (which the school initially confirmed would be added to my tuition), I was sent an email falsely claiming I hadn't paid. When I questioned this, I was met with dismissiveness and conflicting information. I later confirmed -- through the parent group chat -- that I was misled about the nature of the email distribution. Instead of owning the error, the director chose to deflect. Even more concerning, Ms. Rodriguez has attempted to tell parents we are not allowed to discuss issues with the school in our WhatsApp group chat -- a platform completely unaffiliated with the school. This attempt to silence feedback only adds to the feeling that leadership is more focused on controlling perception than actually resolving concerns. After raising my concerns via email, I was also blocked from viewing the school's Instagram Stories -- a move that felt retaliatory and unprofessional. Additionally, despite respectfully requesting that all communication remain in writing, one of the school's owners refused and insisted on a phone call. When I declined for documentation purposes, I was dismissed and never contacted again. Another owner, the Principal of Pinecrest Glades Academy, never responded to my message at all. It also appears that Ms. Rodriguez may be attempting to downplay or hide issues from other families -- potentially due to the fact that her own child attends the school. This presents a troubling conflict of interest, especially when decisions and communication seem more focused on image management than transparency or child well-being. This is not the type of leadership I expect from an educational institution. Parents deserve accountability, open communication, and professionalism -- not censorship, avoidance, and retaliation. I'm sharing this review in the hope that Pre Tech Academy leadership begins to value the trust families place in them.
