“Our experience with Children's Academy has been absolutely wonderful.The teachers at this preschool went above and beyond to engage our daughter in a wide range of age-appropriate activities. They created a stimulating and fun learning environment that encouraged her to explore, learn, and grow. From arts and crafts to music and play, they provided a well-rounded curriculum that captivated her attention and sparked her curiosity. I loved their curriculum and the way they implemented it.What truly sets this preschool apart is its commitment to bilingual education. Our daughter is now truly bilingual, which we attribute to the school's immersive approach to teaching in both languages.Most importantly, the staff at this daycare was exceptionally attentive to our daughter's needs and helped her come out of her shell in a nurturing environment. They offered the love and support she needed to build her confidence and social skills.”

“I am sooo thankful one of my friends encouraged us to sign our little one up for VPK with the Village. This year was amazing! The attention they pour on the children, and the events throughout the year, and the amount of growth I've witnessed from my child - priceless! Don't hesitate, because this school fills up fast, and there's a reason why! It's definitely the place to be!”

“I definitely would recommend this daycare to other parents as the staff is welcoming, caring and compassionate to children and parents. I am a hands on parent and love the opportunity to go and visit my children through out the day. Ms. Wendy is very understanding. I am also grateful for the teachers Ms. Maria, Ms. Shonda and Ms. Janice for their ability to understand and work with my children's learning styles. Beyond grateful for the opportunity to have my children in such a loving facility.”

Kudos to Gus Trent ( of Plant City) for the great fun family friendly performances and master of ceremony work and Kudos to Pinellas Park for bringing such a fun event . Hope you do it again next year as I have told so many people that theymissed something special! And I even bragged to my Texas family that you put on a top notch event. Thanks for a fun event.”

“My girls have been going to Learn and Grow for the last 3 years for full time care and after school pick up. I can not recommend the school enough. They are kind and professional. Consistently updating us on our girls with pictures almost daily. The ladies truly care for our girls and the children.”

“This preschool was the best experience for my girls! They knew our kids so well! They made sure they were well taken care of and taught them more than what they needed to know before Kindergarten. Their VPK program was fantastic and the graduation was even more impressive. They were very family oriented and had many events that we attended with our kids. Even when my older daughter left, she still had holiday gifts waiting for her when we picked up my younger daughter. I couldn’t have asked for a better preschool. Great job Marie and Dawnelle!”

“This is a fantastic location - involved staff that is present so when you drop off or pickup, you are able to speak with someone in the front staff. They love kids. All necessary food and drinks are provided. We adore the kitchen staff too! Even Ms. Jamilla (probably didn’t spell it right, sorry!) knows our kids and greets them with open arms. Sometimes there are rough drop off days and the entire team, including front & kitchen staff, is willing to help out (Kaitlin, Morgan, Meghan). They are so kind. Daily summaries are in the app, and are concise but informative. They provide pictures as well if you want them. We are grateful the Lord sent us to this location when our previous daycare unexpectedly & temporarily shut its doors.”

“My son has been attending Goddard for about 3 months and we could not love it more. The entire staff is amazing and genuinely cares. They learn so much. He is 17 months and he knows Spanish, sign language, and yoga poses. It’s a beautiful thing to see. His teachers Ms Nandi and Ms Nellie go above and beyond for their students and I am so grateful for them. The owner Shekar is very involved and receives feedback well. Overall, it has been a very positive experience and we look forward to growing within Goddard.”

“Amazing child care center. My daughter has been coming here for over a year and the ladies always make us feel like family. Very personable touches on everything they do here. You can tell these ladies really care about the children as well as the amazing work they all contribute.”

“I wasn't sure about this place for my daughter's vpk class but they surprised me. She loves going to school. They always send you pics of the day threw their app. Which really helped to see what they did from day to day. I would use this daycare again if I ever needed one. Thank you so much for everything you have done for my daughter. I couldn't of picked a better place for her to attend vpk”

From the moment we walked through the doors, we felt like we were part of a warm and loving family. The staff and administrators are not just professionals; they are genuinely caring individuals who invest their hearts and souls into the well-being and development of every child.My son thrived in this nurturing environment, and it's evident that the caregivers here go above and beyond to create a stimulating and safe space for the little ones. The educational activities, creative play, and social interactions have not only prepared my son for school but have also instilled in him a love for learning and a sense of confidence that will undoubtedly stay with him throughout his life.The bond he formed with his teachers and peers is truly heartwarming, and I credit the daycare's supportive atmosphere for fostering these meaningful connections. Leaving my child in their capable hands every day was never a worry; I knew he was in the best possible care.To the entire staff and administration, thank you for being such an essential part of my son's formative years.
