Both my sons went there. They were safe and happy. That is what matters…read more I felt welcome in all their classrooms and felt comfortable discussing any concerns with the teachers.

Good morning. I would like to share the letter that I forwarded to the Saint Johns school district…read moreso maybe one day things can change: "Good morning, we live in Ponte Vedra Beach exactly 2 miles from Ocean Palms Elementary School but to not lose my job (no after care) we were obligated to move her to Flagler Charter School and now I'm driving around 30 minutes to my daughter to go to school with after care available. We've tried all the private schools around our home without spots. Nicole was adapting well and loving the school and the After care and school administrators didn't bother even to answer Yes or No after 6 months trying waitlist and several phone calls and e-mails. The last time Ms Kim LaMondie answered "At this time we are on a waitlist. We will be sure to put Nicole on the list. I will reach out to you as soon as we open our waitlist." was on Jan/23/2023 and since then we didn't have any responses after several times trying contact. So, to not lose my job I was obligated to change my daughter to somewhere with after care. Now we drive very far every day for school. I don't think this is fair to us and our daughter always cries missing her neighborhood friends and the school - It looks like we are out of the social neighborhood now even though we live right there. We hope this situation can change because we are very unhappy to not be able to study around our home and to be excluded from the social around there for this reason. We hope Nicole can study again on Ocean Palms too."

We decided to put our little one into a daycare/school when he was about to turn 4…read more We looked around the beaches area for somewhere, checking out daycare options including several of the churches. Every one seemed average, and just like the rest. When we got to the Red School House, and took a quick tour, we were instantly aware of some, "above and beyond", going on. In the class our little one was going to be in, there were two tables full of very attentive boys and girls doing actual school work! Instantly we knew this was the place. Come to find out we had several friends/ and clients that rave about the school. The entire experience can be summed up into an observation that I made during the Christmas sing along. The staff was very into the whole process. Ambitiously singing in front of several dozen parents and relatives takes a lot of posture, but imagine the dedication it took for them to teach all of those songs to the kids. Our little one has been singing Holiday songs all month long. But the thing that got me was one of the children came late. As he walked up, one of the teachers while in mid song called his name, gave him a quick hug, and said, "I love you", in a very genuine way, then went right back into it. THAT.... is the type of people I want my child around.

We are beyond grateful to be part of the Collage Day School family…read more It truly feels like a utopia for any parent looking for a structured, nurturing, and enriching environment for their child. We love Ms. Veronica, she was the teacher for this school year and the lower level grade teachers prior year.. Ms. Natalie and Ms. Lexi are wonderful too. What a blessing it has been for us to have our daughter here. Let's not forget the school Nurse, Ms. Chelsea. Thank you to all staff for making this an unforgettable experience for our child and the peace of mind knowing our child is in good hands. The Rudd Family

I called to inquire about enrolling my 3-year-old daughter in the summer camp program. I explained…read morethat she primary speaks Spanish at home but can also communicate in English, and she occasionally have a number one accident if she becomes distracted while playing- which is very normal for her age. Unfortunately, my conversation with Ms. Jammie was very disappointing. Before I could even fully explain, I was told in a rather rude and dismissive manner that they "don't have the manpower" to change children, that my daughter would need to be fully potty trained, and that she must be able to completely undress and dress herself independently to attend camp. To clarify, I was never asking anyone to "change" my child. I was simply asking if whether staff could occasionally remind her to use the potty. I was honestly surprised by the lack of patience and understanding toward a 3-year-old child. Many children this age still need reminders and occasional assistance, especially in a new environment. What made the interaction even more frustrating is that this program charges a significant amount of money for a 6-hour day, yet there seems to be very little flexibility, compassion or developmental understanding for children this young. As a parent, I left the conversation feeling judged and unwelcome. The tone and delivery were unnecessarily harsh, and it did not feel like a supportive or child-friendly interaction. Families with young children deserve to be treated with kindness and respect when asking normal developmental questions.
