My family loves Windmill Creek Academy! As a first time mom I stayed at home with my daughter for 1 year and I knew daycare wouldn’t be the same as being at home but they have made the transition AMAZING! Any questions I have had they responded quickly, effectively and are just overall awesome! I feel so great knowing my daughter is in such great hands! Madison at the front desk during pick up makes pick up so quick and easy. The owner Janine is sooooo friendly and even teaches music twice a week!!! My daughter is in bears with Ms. Gracin, Ms. Megan, Ms. Ittay. I call maybe one to two times a

All of my grandchildren have attended Windmill Creek Academy and I cannot say enough good things about this school. Their teachers have all been exceptional and they make learning so much fun and interesting for them. It is always kept very clean and I feel it is a great learning environment for them. I highly recommend this school.

Positive: Professionalism, Reliability, Responsiveness
Both of my boys went here for the summer vpk program. It was great for them! They were ready for kindergarten in just that short amount of time. I wish they could have attended longer. Nothing but great things to say about this place. My boys always had fun with activities and water days! Music was maybe their favorite part.

Tuition is insane even after florida VPK voucher. Then added fees for supplies even after you buy supplies at the beginning of the year. The director of the school will not answer calls or emails in regards to any questions or concerns after multiple attempts. It's a real shame becasue the teachers and staff there are great. Has such potential.

We moved to Naples when my son was 3 months old and my daughter was 3. My kids actually went to a different day care for the first week after we moved here. My daughter had been going to daycare her entire life and she hated that one. I also did not feel they were taking care of my baby. WCA had an immediate opening for my 3 year old and we jumped on the opportunity to get her in and put the baby on a waiting list based on the experience of somebody I work with. This was the best decision I could have made for my children. After just 2 days of being here, my 3 year old was back to loving school

These people are seriously good hearted people. In short I’m just going to say I was in a bad position in life and they helped me.
Not only that this is an amazing daycare. The children actually learn everything from motor skills, potty training, music, etc.
Needless to say, your child will learn good intentions as well.
Thanks for what you did for me that day ladies.

This is the best pre-school hands down. My son attended this school year 2016-2017 for VPK. I am an educator and I am so impressed with the entire program and staff. Communication is stellar. The teachers write a daily report home, there is a newsletter and teachers are personable. Every day the teachers would talk to me about my son and what he did that day, aside from the note. They really love what they do and they love the kids. It shows. The curriculum is one of a kind and truly prepared my son for Kindergarten. He is writing his first and last name, sounding out words, reading sight words

This is by far the absolute BEST preschool/daycare I've had the pleasure of experiencing. I've raised 6 children... TRUST ME when I say I have certainly had multiple schools over the years. Windmill Creek Academy not only provides a clean atmosphere; but their attention to the little details for each and every child is a breathe of fresh air! They provide detailed monthly guides for the parents to know what monthly theme, subject or activities will be presented through the month. Not to mention; they give your child daily reports, weekly homework & parental involvement! They have certainly done

My daughter was moving to Florida with her husband and my grandson. both parents are working full time and I needed to find a place for their son. As all grandparents, I wanted him in a clean, safe, child care facility. A friend recommended the Windmill Creek Academy were their daughter attended. From the moment I went to check out the facility, I was greeted by Noreen, who showed me the entire school and answered every concern I had. She was amazing! I left feeling that this is the place for my grandson! And it has been nothing but a positive experience ever since. The attention he receives from

I found the school a very good environment for my children. They learned more than most preschools teach. When taking my daughter to kindergarten, she was way more advanced educationally than the school class, due to Windmill Creek Academy's educational program. I recommend this school to anyone that wants to take their children to an above average educational center as this school.
