The IAs ride the bus at this school, but are rewarded with coffee, hot chocolate, and donuts around vacas. This school has Headstart, pre k VE, AND a huge ESE building with all elementary ages catered to. The programs are new and up to date with equipment and knowledge. Very cool playground for the intermediate grades that adds a great amount of exercise. I have never seen such a dedicated cafeteria staff! Rock on, Northwest!

Basinger is raising the school grade with her unmatched, unwavering tenacity. (Complete with so many smiles!) So, just try to filter bout 90% of the advice and reviews you receive about ANYTHING. Life is too subjective to take someone else's experience and assume it would be yours as well. Proud to be a Gator Family.

Staff relentlessly denies any fault regardless of evidence proving otherwise. Director has no remorse or accountability for actions of staff stating "what do you want me to do". Overall terrible experience. VPK staff and classrooms on the other hand; fantastic. Caring, work on individual needs with each child, play centered learning, very communicative. Would not send children under four.

EXCELLENT! I love their communication app and how they actually care about your child.

This is all a parent really wants when it comes to their child. I love Care-A-Lot Preschool and I am so happy to have found them. Most days he walks right in, no problem, not even a wave :) A huge bonus is the papers that come home everyday telling you what they ate ETC. Very helpful when trying to watch out for allergic reactions. I am so happy there!

Graduation, plays, concerts etc. are either in the cafeteria or outside. Cafeteria is nice but many people end up standing. Not enough seats. Too bad our anti-educational governor Slick Rick Scott can't send some money this way to ensure all schools have adequate facilities for the students, faculty, and visitors/parents. Aside from not having an auditorium Moon Lake Elementary School is top notch.

I was a stay at home mom for 3 years, so leaving her for the first time was sooo hard. But everyone made me feel comfortable and her teacher Ms. Rosie is the absolute best!
