These are the same owners of Rainbow academy......they sold the school and locked teacher's and parents out without notice! It was a story on 8 on your side! Becare they could do this to you! Parents are without care losing their jobs because the owners just don't care about our kids and their futures! Half of them are out of money they paid in advance also! These owners are evil and non trust worthy!

This place is awesome. The facility itself is super safe. You have to ring the doorbell or use a "key" on the keypad to get inside. The teachers are amazing. My son came from a prek where he was upset about going to ...it was a battle to even get him in the car to go to school...i can only assume he was being bullied. Here they worked with him 1 on 1 to see where he was academically. He now calls this school "the better school" the teachers "better teacher " complete 360 at this school. I will have my middle child and youngest also go here.

Witnessed this program at largo Central Park. If I could give less than one star I would. Most of the children were beyond rude. I watched one child tackle 3 other children in front of the teachers with no consequences. I saw another child shove slap and grab another child which went unnoticed. The children did finally get a response from only one of the teachers when one child was trying to shove another one off the top of the big rocks. The teachers were rude to the children speaking to them like they were unintelligent which explains why the children were acting so Unruly. If my child was ever

The VPK teacher is very overwhelmed so the class is chaotic. There are a couple kids who acted out regularly and caused issues with my son. They also move the kids between rooms multiple times in just a matter of hours. My son was acting out due to this kind of environment.
I tried to talk to the Director about it but was ignored so I took him to a different school and he's been doing fantastic ever since.
They have not given me back the $153 they didn't earn for services, claiming that the handbook states that notice is required, which is does not. Under the circumstances one would think that

Our daughter went there for almost 1 year. She loved her teacher. Tonya is great person.
We never ever had any complaint from her school. Nor did she ever come back with any "scar or hurt".
She went as pre kindergartner and still remembers her classroom kids and teacher. We changed her school for kindergarten. They were never racist or bad to my child. Thats what I loved.

This school literally only has 4 teachers working there and the director tonya works vpk in the mornings. As a parent, and talking with other parents, no teachers last here because they dont like it with the way their treated. Tonya has a attitude most of the time. school is cleaned and thats the only good thing they have going for them. Dont waste your money weekly on this place.
