Fantastic place for your child. Teachers and school Director are so warm, transparent and professional. They made me feel that my child is very well taken care of and in excellent hands. I was hesitant at first to leave my 10 month old but after the first day of anxiety I never doubted the care and love he's getting. In my experience the infant staff is amazing as well as the receptionist. You can truly feel that everyone cares for your baby as their own. I enjoyed the daily pictures and report of daycare activities they have. Highly recommend this preschool.

The teachers here go out of their way to make the children feel welcomed, valued and appreciated. My child comes home every day with the biggest smile on her face. So many congratulate me on how well behaved and smart my child is, but I have to also give credit to a school that prioritizes structure, education, and social engagement between the children. Everything is built in the interest of the children and their growth.

Wow! I am so happy I chose this daycare! I had to go back to work after 12 weeks with my first child and I was very nervous to put her in daycare. I am so happy I trusted Nanas Preschool with caring for my baby. The teachers are amazing and they do so many cool sensory and learning activities with the babies. But most importantly my daughter loves her teachers Mrs. Paula, Mrs. Adriana, and Mrs. Astrit. My daughter is so excited to see them every morning! I hate leaving her all day, but I can't thank her teachers enough for caring for, loving , allowing to explore, and teaching my daughter

5 for management. 3 for everyday experience.
Summer camp at Nana's was fine, but with the beginning of the school year a nightmare started.
Complains and negative comments began every day. Some of complains from one teacher were reasonable though, I really appreciated her work on important issues that mattered, I took it seriously and cooperated.
But besides reasonable things I heard a lot of negative nonconstructive and sometimes even nonsense comments from another teacher that just puzzled me. for example, she complained that 3 year old child "wanted just to play all the time"

Ms. Batya- please check with your director Ms. Terry as she called me back apologizing for the charge of $150 for tuition on 8/17 and refunded it immediately. I spoke with Ms Natalia first at your front desk and she gave the message. I left Nana's the end of July. If crying for mommy is a red flag at 2 years old to Nana's so be it but I was not going to stay at your school to receive services?? from someone who did not even know where your school was located or anything about your preschool. Seems very odd. I did sit down in a meeting explaining my concerns and why my daughter wasn&apos

The best decision i ever made for my 5yrs old son was putting him at NANA'S for their wonderful VPK program .
He has been there for 7 weeks and has learn more than the whole year he was at his old preschool , he has not only has improve academically but also socially is more than ready to star his kindergarten.
Thank you so much to the wonderful principal that does a great job keeping up with us parents and with the fantastic staff and teacher that do a great job not only taking care of our kinds with love and kindness but also having the best academic curriculum.
Thank you so much again

Registered at new school/location. Director has very high standards, extremely professional, always smiling, amazingly enthusiastic and very knowledgeable. I was blown away by the experience under her belt. We toured the entire school although under construction. I see her vision. We also met the owner and everybody was getting their hands dirty helping put cots together for their students.
I'm a teacher and the curriculum is exactly what I want my daughter to learn from. She's 2.5 years old, however early skill sets are very important. You must all register. Truly.

Both of my daughters absolutely love Nana's. I can't emphasize enough how happy me and my wife are with the program, the place is super clean and has incredible facilities. It's a great place to send your kids to. Theyvare very education focused, I love how every week something new is gong on in terms, international weeks, career weeks. I know kids are little and they have to play to so there's plenty of that as well. Food is good, you can purchase meals for the week. Teachers seem very professional and nice. Very happy with our choice as we have been to many day cares/kindergartens

I could not be happier with Nana's Preschool. The location is very convenient and my daughter gets so excited every morning to go there. The teachers are very dedicated to the children and my daughter has learnt so much! Also, I love their play space indoors and their outdoor playground. If you're looking for a place where your children will be loved and learn a lot, this is the one! Thank you Nana's Preschool!

My daughter has been in this school for a year. I always though the school was a little to large for such young kids (my daughter started at two), but since she was adapting well to it I decided to stay. It always seemed as the parent-teacher relationships were a little distant, in over a year I've had 1 parent-teacher official meeting and it was a power point presentation by the principal.
The real issue began this year with a teacher named Ma. Paulina, I started receiving calls "please pick her up we can't handle her". They suggested I go with a therapist and followed advised

Don't pay attention to the negative reviews. There are people who will complain about EVERYTHING short of their ideals of perfection! My 2 year old is my second child to attend Nanas, and we are thrilled, once again! The school is very academic, but also incredibly age appropriate. My daughter, who was INCREDIBLY clingy is thriving there, and is even potty trained (at school only). They are loving, caring, and yes, they do have high expectations of both the children and parents. The new facility is gorgeous and the atmosphere is fun and caring. I love how both of my girls have thrived at Nana

I have never faced such a horrible attitude towards parents and their kids!! My daughter started this daycare at 2 years old after spending most of the time with her grandmother at home. We are both working parents and have to spend long hours at work,that's why we decided that we need to start a daycare so that our daughter will socialize more and become more independent. We liked the place and people seemed nice the first day - of course as they need to enroll you and take your money! After they were done with the process they got mean. They would not smile or say hi anymore they would see

My son has been going to Nana's for the past three years and he loves it! He actually gets very upset on weekends when there is no school. The teachers are all very friendly and they seem to be genuinely interested in the children. The women in the office are all fantastic! I would have given 5 stars but one thing is holding me back.....because most of the teachers first language is Spanish, there are times when my son comes home saying some words in English improperly so I have to correct him which causes confusion for him. Other than that, Nana's is great!

I can proudly say that i have had the best luck in finding this school as soon as i did. when i first moved to Aventura the first thing my husband and i worried about was where our kids would go to school.... luckily i was referred to Nanas from a friend of ours in the area. Her daughter had gone there and she spoke very highly of the school and more importantly the director.
At the time my daughter were 20 and 36 months. I called the same day to make an appointment to visit the school and i was warmly given a tour of the school the next day. feeling very comfortable with the staff and the environment
