Our son was one of the first children at this location when it opened. In those first few years we…read moreabsolutely loved the tight knit community and attention to detail the staff and directors offered. However as we now enter our child's third year at the school with numerous staff and leadership turnover we utilize this school more out of convenience than personal choice. There have been several instances of miscommunication from leadership with our family. Even more concerning, is the notable leadership turnover in such a short period of time. Unfortunately there is not a standard practice in place for routine class transitions which allow children of the same age an equal opportunity to access all learning tools which the school prides itself on. It's extremely disappointing to see such obvious stagnation and regression in our child's classroom engagement and learning for what appears to be the sake of appeasing incoming families on waitlists or special circumstances. I do hope moving forward the school is able to put in place more concrete class groupings so that all children are afforded an equal opportunity to engage and excel in their pivotal early learning years with the developmentally appropriate materials and tools the school has to offer.

This school is the worst place to put a child that is autistic. My son is on the spectrum which…read morecomes with ADHD and meltdowns and aggression. That is normal for kids on the spectrum. The aggression stems from them not knowing how to use their words. He had behavioral therapists there with him everyday and he was only at this school for four days before they kicked out a special needs child! A normal non special needs child takes a week to transition to a new place....a child on the spectrum takes at least two weeks maybe three. The owner did not allow that. The teachers have no training on how to handle and teach a child on the spectrum at all. The owner also LIED and said the behavioral therapists sat and let my son hit and kick the teacher and they ignored it. TOTAL LIES!! I have the proof from the notes that they have to put in every week from the sessions. So the owner lied to me, the teacher lied also. I called the ADA and was told what they did violated the ADA act and to file a complaint. I have filed a complaint with the ADA. This place needs to be shut down for good. They are horrible. They also wanna charge almost $1200 a month you have to pay on the 1st of every month and they don't provide lunch, you have to provide lunch for your child and they wanna charge that much. Basically a daycare for rich snobby people!

They did seem to be understaffed, the woman that was running the class had to simultaneously work check in for everyone. There were multiple waivers that required downloading an app which was kind of a pain as well. If they just had one more person to help people check in and then the woman running the class could explain how to find our mats I think that would work a lot smoother.

Suddenly, for no knowable reason whatsoever, my leg just locked up and wouldn't bend or straighten. Oh, and it hurt like hizzle. Heartland Rehab in Riverside saved my life! Or my leg. Either/or! Both! I was prescribed one month of physical therapy to fix my bum leg, and fix it they did. Before I started PT someone told me how nice PT could be... you get messaged, people fawn all over you, making your problems their problems. For one little hour you don't have to worry about things while these wonderful therapists worry for you. I had Ronata as my therapist and she was great. She taught me all kinds of exercises to strengthen my knee, she told me jokes, she gave my knee some amazing massages [best part about PT, hands down] AND she even prescribed me to have my husband give me massages every night. HA! Take that husband. It is a prescription. You have to do it! The facilities are nice with a view of the St. Johns River. You can continue to use their gym even after your PT is over for a membership fee, if you so please. I haven't tried that myself, already being a member of the YMCA, but I think it would be a great choice for someone recovering from an injury.
