The care for kids ages 12-23 months is lacking. Diapers are not being changed as often as they should so my baby comes home with rashes all the time. They feed 12-23 months high sugary cereals, hotdogs, corn dogs, pizza, cake, etc. Not impressed with the care we received here... Do your research and ensure you voice out your issues.

I absolutely love this place. My daughter has been attending this school and I couldn't be more pleased. The teachers/staff are so caring and supportive. My daughter absolutely loves going there everyday and I can sense the deep care that all the teachers have for her. Thank you to the entire team!

This is the most amazing preschool! Their staff are professional, kind and patience, and have been there for years. They really care about the children, including their education, diet, and overall well-being. Their seasonal camps are incredible and the kids have the best time. We absolutely LOVE Intercoastal Kids!!

My child has been attending this daycare for almost a year and we are very happy with the center and the staff. My son is happy and loves coming to school. The teachers and staff are all friendly and welcoming. I love how much time the kids spend outside. The holiday and birthday celebrations are always really fun.This place is low tech so there’s no app with hourly updates which I personally prefer but I know for some people that can be really important.There is some staff turnover which I believe you’ll see at any daycare but they have several teachers that have been there since we started that have been at the school for years.Overall I feel very satisfied with my child’s care at Intercoastal Kids.

Earlier reviews are from previous ownership. My 3 year old started here in August and she LOVES it. They get a LOT of outside time. They are outside at least 3 times a day which I love. The Staff is WONDERFUL. My daughter has Ms. Veronica who is fantastic and so fun! She's always engaging with them thru stories, games, dance (they dance everyday) and art. All the Staff and new owner, Marisol, are super nice, happy and caring people. What's really cool is just about every week or two there's an event, field trip (these are optional) and/or theme. The Staff go all out and decorate the building and classrooms. And the Staff dress up for them too. A few weeks ago they took a field trip to the main library. Last week they did a Bear Hunt event on the playground. This week they took the kids to Catty Shack Wildlife Sanctuary. And every day, Veronica and the teachers fill out a report sheet for the day for the parent that says what their child had for lunch, how long they slept and who they played with etc. Carmen always comes home happy with nothing but good things to say. This place is truly a gem!

My children have been going to Intercoastal kids for over a year now and I am more than satisfied with the staff and the programs Intercoastal Kids offer. Children are provided with creative crafts and really educational field trips. The staff is always friendly and I witness on a daily basis the care they give the other children. They helped me successfully potty train both my girls. Intercoastal kids is a high recommendation from me! Ms. Eliza and Ms. Jasmine are amazing!

I wasn't going to write a review until my daughter just hit me with shocking news at the doctors. It's been about 7 months since she attended this daycare. We had her enrolled there for over two years until she was old enough to enroll in Kindergarten. Recently I was at the doctors with my daughter for a checkup and they pricked her finger for a blood test she said "ouch that hurt almost as bad as when Ms. Ira used to bend my fingers back when she was mad at me". My child has no reason to make this story up. My heart sunk because what actions do I take 7 months after the fact? I believe her because Ms. Ira was the only teacher that was very vocal about her dislike for my child. I also have a major complaint towards how they run their summer camp. My daughter is an adopted child her birth parents are local and so I am very strict on knowing where my child is at .. They took her on a field trip to "pump it up" and last minute changed the destination to Bowling without notice to the parents. I was very angry and did confront the owners about this incident.Ms. Eliza and Ms. Jessica were the best part of this center. They are the only part I don't regret. They taught my daughter a lot. But the cons of this place outweigh the pros.

I’ve sent my children to this school for almost two and a half years till we moved to California. While my children attended this school, there was many activities and fun things to do. When they were there, they learned many school related things such as their alphabets, numbers up to twenty, and etc. This is one of the best schools I have sent my children too and I don’t regret it!Sincerely, John clad

Leaving flyers on windshields in Florida is a terrible idea. The flyers melt and get stuck to the windshield and it's hard to get rid of it. Stop doing it.

I've sent my children to this preschool for almost four years. One of the reasons that I suggest you send your child there is because of the amazing staff. After having a daughter and a son attend this school, I can honestly tell you it is value for the dollar. The food was great they serve fruits and vegetables daily and the activities were spot on for my kids early learning. Plus the staff treats you with so much respect and is extremely loving towards the kids. I really love that they post on Facebook all the school pictures of their events and communication.

We found this place when we were desperate to place our daughter in VPK. We ended up putting her and her brother into daycare full time about a year ago. We have been with them for over a year now and we couldn't love this place more. Our children have done so well here. My daughter absolutely loved her class and made a ton of friends before she went to kindergarten. She learned a lot and her teachers were amazing. The activities and field trips were always fun and I never had to worry about anything. My son has grown up so much since being there. He loves his teachers and the class he is in. At 18 months old he has a huge vocabulary thanks to the individual attention they give him. I would tell anyone that asked how much I love this school. We are so sad that we will be leaving at the end of this month as we are moving. They have become like family and I am thankful every day that we found them. For all of the negative reviews, I would suggest give them a chance. It's worth it.

I had to re-potty train my child. They just put them In front of the tv all day. The staff is very unprofessional. I could go into details but I would end up writing a book.

My Children have been going to Intercostal for two weeks now. I looked at them as an option a few months back because my husbands son went there as a young child. After reading the reviews I said NO WAY! That was a big mistake to not get my own opinion. after a few more months of stressful child care I started looking again.I ran into a friend who had her daughter at intercostal and LOVED IT. I decided, what the hey... and looked for myself.After these two weeks, I still cant believe how easy it is to work with this place. Drop off is super simple and only takes a few minutes. They serve lunch for the kids, and my children never come home "STARVING" like they did in the past. (They don't even have a microwave, and all fruits and veggies are fresh.) They are happy, tired at the end of the day, and learning rapidly. My daughter is loving VPK and brings home new learning sheets everyday. My Son get TONS of attention from all of the staff, and they even make an effort to let my two children spend time together even though in separate classes.Paying is easy, and technology is up to date and easy to use. I can even see my kids anytime I want to on the computer.Even the price for the child care is reasonable and affordable.Everyone has their own story, Ms. Jasmine is very passionate about education and everyone following rules for the betterment of the kids.They even remembered my nine year old stepson from when he was 2 years old!For the record, I have had a lot tough experiences with my children and child care. Since I have started with child care, it has been very stressful and a pure "TASK" at everything. So far I am VERY happy with Intercostal and Grateful for their investment in my children. VPK kids came home with a full sized Clifford book on the first day of school, and all the kids got a full sized Clifford doll after the first week. NO CHARGE.. I don't know any childcare that would make an investment like that. 4 stars now because I just started. In a few months I will rate again. 5 Stars will be earned if they maintain my expectations.
