“I've had bad experiences with daycares around this area, but definitely not at Primrose! The teachers and staff are incredibly loving and patient with my child—they always make her feel comfortable and valued. I can see how much she loves being there every day, and I’m so grateful for their care and understanding. Primrose truly is the best! We will be sad when she moves on to Kindergarten.”

“I would like to sincerely thank the kindergarten administration and the wonderful teachers for their great care and attention to the children. The level of education and interaction is truly excellent, and the teachers are very patient, kind, and attentive to each child in a special way.

My son and my daughter now loves going to kindergarten every day because of the positive, supportive, and warm environment the teachers provide. It is very clear how much effort is made to educate the children and help develop their personalities in a fun and safe way.

Many thanks and appreciation to all the teachers specially Mrs IRAM and staff for their dedication and hard work. I highly recommend this kindergarten to any parents looking for a great and trustworthy place for their children.”

“My daughter is very enthusiastic about attending her sessions at Mathnasium. The entire team is welcoming and kind, creating a positive learning environment. Mrs. Kimi is especially helpful and always goes above and beyond. We truly appreciate the dedication and encouragement they provide.”

“My daughters absolutely love getting up and going to school every day at The Learning Experience - Horizon West! The owners, administrators and teachers treat the kids like family. We've seen such growth in our girls as students and they have so much fun doing it. One of my daughters just graduated from their VPK program and she's way ahead going into kindergarten. Her teacher Miss George does such a great job preparing the kids both academically and socially for the next level. I would highly recommend our Horizon West neighbors to take a look at their programs for their youngsters. We appreciate all they've done for our girls!”

“Highly recommend! Children's Lighthouse is such a wonderful daycare/preschool. My boys have gone there for a couple years and I only have great things to say. The teachers and staff are so friendly and truly care for the kids.”

“We absolutely adore Ms Lina and Mr Chase. They made our son's transition from being home with me all the time to such a wonderful sharing and caring young man. He is now excited about going to kindergarten instead of being scared like he was when he began school. They are the best duo in Orlando in my opinion to teach VPK! I cannot give them enough praise for all their hard work and love they put into teaching their students! Thank you MsLina and Mr Chase you will forever have a piece of our hearts!”

“A few weeks ago I went to visit the school. The staff received us Very Professionally and Kindly. They gave me a tour, answered all my questions and most importantly they made my son feel welcome and important. It was a fantastic experience.

The months have flown by, and our experience with the teachers—Ms. Nancy and Ms. Ariana—has been INCREDIBILE. Thank you for your patience, dedication, love, and so much more. I also cannot leave out Ms. G, who has been exceptional with my child and with all the other children; she is a vital part of these kids' lives. Now, a word about the ladies who welcome us every day with a smile: Ms. Vicky, Ms. Thania, and Ms. Diana. THANK YOU FOR SUCH A WONDERFUL EXPERIENCE. My child attended THE BEST VPK SCHOOL. THANK YOU. I hope I haven't left anyone out. Thank you to everyone.”

“My youngest is 11 months and loves Ms. Vanessa and Ms. Aracelis! I get so many pictures throughout the day of her engaging in activities, and love seeing her grow. My son is in the Preppers class with Ms. Mila and Ms. Vianka and they are so nurturing with him. We love our time at TLE Windermere; the curriculum is great and they do so many fun events!”

“This school has been amazing for the past 4 years that my child has been there! He has Ms. Patty this year and she is the reason he wants to go there everyday, she is an extremely sweet and kind hearted person and they are lucky to have someone like her! Mrs. Heather has also been amazing there and making sure that everything and everyone is taken care of as their director!”

“Thank you so much to the entire team at My First Steps Learning Center. As a single mother with a son diagnosed with autism, I must say that the support has been complete and absolute! They don't know it, but they saved my son and me. Thank you.”

“I absolutely love this school, so much is offered and the Director Mrs. Bianca and the assistant Director Mrs. Queena including my son’s teacher Ms.Jalaysa are all so wonderful communication top tier and very well structured . Everything you can hope for is provided here for your child’s growth , and development and education Thank you all so much ❤️”

“Goddard WG is a great school. I really like the environment, the curriculum and the community for my child. It prepared my child very well for kindergarten in every aspect. I definitely recommend the school.”

“Both of my children loved coming here for VPK. The staff are absolutely incredible and you can tell they love the kids and the kids love them! The school is small so you don’t have to worry about it being too overwhelming. I always recommend Little Fishes to my friends and neighbors when they’re looking for a preschool for their littles!”

“My daughter just started daycare here 2 weeks ago and it's her 1st time in daycare and I just want to applaud this staff because not only do they make her so comfortable but they provide her with 1 on 1 care! Im so grateful to have found this school because as a young 1st time mom I have had so much anxiety about putting my trust into a schools hands but this has showed me God pointed me in the right direction! The director and assistant director are so kind and caring my baby loves her teachers and i just wanted to express my gratitude to this school! My baby has shown such a improvement in just these last 2 weeks!”

“My 7-year-old attended VPK here, and I couldn’t be more thankful. He learned so much and loved going every single day. He’s now thriving in school thanks to the strong foundation he built here. Ms.Paula was his Teacher. Taiven Mom!”

“We love Star Child Wekiva. We have gotten to know the staff and love them. I have 3 kids who attend this school and have been coming since they were babies. One is now in Kindergarten here. They take safety seriously which I appreciate. The curriculum is advanced my kids are ahead of most kids their age who do not attend this school.”

“We searched for a daycare in Apopka for a long time until my mom found this place. Excellent service.. you truly find care here. The director is great and very approachable. The staff is kind and welcoming. My child attended this daycare for a few months this year before we moved, and to this day we still haven’t been able to find a place like it”

“My son started at this center when he was an infant and is now in the toddler area I love how all the teachers have taken such good care of him he has loved every one of them and the way they have cared for him. I get updates constantly throughout the day with what he’s up to and get so many photos and videos which is my favorite! Thank you all for taking such good care of my baby! I am so grateful for this staff.”

“This daycare has been so helpful and accommodating. My baby cousin was in foster care in Pa. We couldn't take her to Fl until we had day care set up. Usually you are on a waiting list for months. I contacted Shannon since my oldest son had gone here in the past. She was so understanding and got us in right away! My baby girl is thriving, she loves to go and see the other babies. My 2 year old son is there now and his language has improved tremendously! I trust my children to there care, and that should tell you everything.”

“I could not possibly say enough about our experience at Kiddie Academy. My daughter has been enrolled for about 8 months. It is really difficult to send your child to daycare, especially when you are used to being with them all day. Kiddie Academy makes it so much easier. They treat her exactly how I want those that care for my child to treat her. She is so loved there. Every teacher she has had is so kind. My daughter is so happy to go to school every day. Any small problem that has come up, Ashley and the staff have addressed immediately. We are very grateful to be a part of the Kiddie Academy family.”

“We are so grateful for the support from Leighann and the team at Bright Horizons Winter Garden during our transition from Atlanta. Leighann’s communication and dedication have been incredible, and our son loves his teachers, Ms. Melissa and Ms. Lilly. Bright Horizons truly feels like family, and it’s because of caring people like them. Highly recommend!”

“My son has been going to DPA for over a year and we love it! The staff is family at this point, especially Ms. Bobbie! He has learned so much and made many friends being there! I recommend this location to all my close mom friends!”

“My child has been going there since January 2022. The staff are welcoming, professional and family oriented. A safe place for children to receive a quality education. My child loves it! A very clean and sanitize school. Highly recommended!”

“We are so thankful for everyone at O2B Kids for the love, care, and support they have shown our son, Azai. He is in Sophomore B, and we truly could not have asked for a better experience.
From day one of Azai starting at O2B Kids, we immediately began seeing positive results. He became more social, engaged, confident, and excited to learn. Watching his growth and development has truly been amazing, and we know it is because of the incredible environment and staff who genuinely care about the children.
Miss Veronica is absolutely amazing. Her patience, kindness, dedication, and genuine love for the children shine through every single day. She creates such a warm, safe, and nurturing environment, and it gives us so much peace knowing Azai is in such caring hands. You can tell she truly cares about each child’s growth, happiness, and well-being.
We also want to give a special thank you to Kayla and the entire staff for always being welcoming, attentive, and supportive. From the moment we walk through the doors, we are greeted with kindness and positivity. The communication, professionalism, and care from everyone at the center have meant so much to our family.
We have seen Azai grow socially, emotionally, and academically during his time there, and we are incredibly grateful for the role O2B Kids has played in his development. Thank you all for treating our son with so much love and care. We appreciate each and every one of you more than words can express!”

“Happy Faces is amazing! It is clean, the staff is friendly and engaging, and our kids love going there to play and learn. Ms Sarah is especially awesome! Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for daycare, preschool, VPK, or before/after school care for their children.”

“My daughter has been attending great beginnings since kindergarten, she’s now in fourth. My son is in first. And in a few years, my youngest will start attending as well. The teachers and administration here are amazing. They care about the students academic success and will encourage them above their grade level. They instill the right moral and values that the students in public school lack. And to top it off, they treat everyone as extended family. Would highly recommended !!”

“My family moved from out of state in December of 2021, but prior to our move we toured and researched NUMEROUS pre-k programs months in advance. We decided Cranium Academy of Winter Garden was the right choice then and as the twins are finishing up this school year, we still feel this was the right fit. We have been extremely happy with our first school experience in Florida. Since the mask mandates have been lifted and I have been inside the school, I am very happy to see a healthy environment amongst the staff and students. The front door staff warmly greets all parents and students by name with a smile and the teachers all say hi and give high fives to the kids. I absolutely love that I can walk my kids directly to their classroom at drop off. It makes a difference to make eye contact with their teacher. I also receive pics and updates on all activities and learning that takes place. I also have been able to directly message the teacher with any concerns I have and vice versa. They are very well-rounded in the things offered both part of the school day, before and after. My twins spend an extended day there and if they are picked up before 5pm they get upset because they love school so much! As a parent first and someone with a teaching background, what became the deciding factor in the decision to send our twins to Cranium Academy of Winter Garden was their ability to assess and meet the specific needs of the individual. My daughter is more of an average learner but my son is quite advanced. There are programs and adjustments that have and will continue to be made so that both will learn, thrive and grow at their own pace with no cap on what they can learn. Their potential is met individually. Myself like anyone reading this can look at prior reviews with a negative comment or rating, as did I and make a quick decision based on that, but I am writing this in May of 2022 and I am speaking of the current school year. For all the reasons mentioned above, our twins will be attending for years to come. I know on a variety of levels this will be the best education for them. If you are looking for a quality school with a strong focus on academics done in a way that is engaging, Cranium Academy really is the place you should look into. I know my husband, myself and twins are all happy we made this decision.”

“Brittney and Autumn are truly so amazing and welcoming! As a mom you want a location you can feel comfortable and know your child is going to be truly cared for. As nervous as I was it went away quickly once I realized how they were and how much Jax would run to the doors and never cry to leave me ! He’s learning so much and I love how much learning activities they do! 100% recommend this location!!!!!”

“OELA is the best I have 3 children there and they love it and I love it. The owner and staff are very respectful. They take good care of my children my son been there 4 years going on 5 never had any problem..”

“It’s about to be a year that my son has been going to Ingenuity. I was a little hesitant to take him so young but everyone has been wonderful from the very beginning. Throughout his time there, he has learned to walk and talk which I am grateful for Ms. Kathy, Ms. Loriselida, Ms. Lines, Ms. Livia and the staff with their help with his milestones.”
