But everything has changed since new owner came. She absolutely loves it and does not want to stay home over the weekend. She became so mature and learned so many skills there that I can not believe that she is 4. It's always clean and nice, teachers always nice and know everything what's going on with your kid. We moved to another area now and it's long driving now BUT for next 2 years we choose our child to be happy in this place

Earth Angel Preschool and Karen Leonetti are wonderful! The preschool is on Siesta Key, set in a…read morebeautiful, lush paradise. The kids do organic gardening, have a weekly organic farmer's market, and have no idea how much they are learning as they play, play, play. The preschool is strong in sensory integration, which means that Karen's curriculum uses a lot of body-centered activities to stimulate the brain. (i.e. upper body movement, tactile activities, and vestibular like spinning and jumping) This is good for all kids, but especially good for active or attention deficit types. One of my concerns when I sent my then-three-year-old was continuing a strong sense of family and place for her. I didn't want a school that required her to fit into a peg or become a number in a sea of faces. Karen's school became a second home for all of us-- when I had parenting problems or discipline questions, Karen spent time talking me through loving, but firm, tactics. And the kids all 'studied' empathy-- at a school event when a kid got hurt, all the kids came running to help. One got an ice pack, one got mommy, and another rubbed the injured child's back. Amazing to watch. As my daughter got older, I worried about her academic readiness. But even though the academic side is embedded within the play structure of the school day, and not immediately obvious, they are learning. My kindergartener is now reading at a second grade level and LOVES school-- including math and science and she didn't get that from me. I credit Karen. In fact, my only complaint is that my second daughter can't go until she's potty-trained.

Manatee Community College (Now State College of Florida) hasn't been the most amazing experience…read morefor me. I guess it's just your average community college. It seems as if a majority of the "professors" aren't that good. So you have to really utilize ratemyprofessor.com and talking to people to find the good professors. The administrative staff is very difficult to deal with as well. It seems as if the student is the one that always ends up having to do the job of the person that is supposed to help you. So when I applied to University of South Florida, it was a blessing to see people actually doing their jobs. In terms of service, I would give this school 0 stars but it's worth the frustraition if you want to save some money. Just try and get out of there ASAP because I've been there 4 years and I am just about done. I have been lucky enough to have good teachers to help me get this far though.

We couldn't be happier with our experience. Ms. Betty has been an incredible teacher. She creates such a warm, nurturing, and supportive environment where every child is encouraged to learn, explore, and grow at their own pace. It's amazing to see how much confidence, independence, and curiosity our daughter has developed under her guidance. The classroom truly feels like a second home. The Montessori approach has fostered a genuine love of learning, and we've always appreciated the caring staff, welcoming atmosphere, and strong sense of community at the LWR campus. We are so grateful for the positive impact this school has had on our daughter and our family. We highly recommend it to anyone looking for a place where children are truly seen, supported, and inspired to thrive.
