I had my son enrolled in this daycare not too long ago, as i liked it initially, as time went by I didn’t feel completely confident in things as I observed certain things as I am an observant person and can over analyze, I continued to give the benefit of a doubt and I HAD to constantly ask for updates, because sometimes I wasn’t sure if he ate or just to see how he was overrall. I wouldn’t get updates from his teacher, I probably had one or two conversations with her, or just to about anyone to see what he had did or learned that day and I had to initiate conversation, granted it gets busy

I can't say enough good things about them. I had my son with them for a short time while I was attending school for my children's summer break. If I didn't live close to the coast, they would be my choice for daycare. Their staff was professional and courteous. My son very much enjoyed his time with them and he too wishes to keep going there. They are a bit higher on the price range, but it can be because of their location. Either way, they are worth the cost. I absolutely recommend them!!!!!!!!!!

I am a picky person when it comes to choose a daycare for my baby. But i'm telling you, this daycare is one of the best out there. The staff are responsible and they care about parents concerns. The food and snack are healthy here, which I barely seen in other places. They serve fresh fruits and vegetables. Dr Catherine is very welcoming and warm. The play area is safe for little ones and I specifically like the garden that kids grow their plants. The price is also fair. The only thing I wish they could improve is , if they could offer live video streaming for parents. In addition, I wish they

My daughter attended this day care from the age of 3 months to 5 years old, when she started kindergarten. She was so happy here. We were very satisfied with the level of care they provided. The facility is very well maintained, the director is very involved, and any issues are resolved swiftly. They also offer before/after school care for at least one school in the area, with transportation to/from the school. They also offer a school age summer camp program with field trips and activities each week. My daughter has attended their camp every summer and always looks forward to seeing everyone there

Below is my review of previous owners. Thank you for the response from new owners. I have actually noticed some changes, such as bilingual signage & "now hiring" hasn't been up for several months. I will check into the school as my daughter will be ready for VPK this fall. This is my second tIme writing a review for this daycare/preschool. My original review was made shortly after my daughter was removed, I removed it because I didn't feel it was fair. I will start with the positives, once the children leave the infant room the school is highly focused on routines &

My 18 month old daughter has attended this daycare for about 5 months. When we moved to winter park we visited every daycare in the area. From the first few minutes we met Fiona and toured the school I decided that was where I wanted her to be. Fiona is an amazing director, the school is clean and welcoming. She is very safety conscious and has emergency plans in place. They serve the kids great food and each classroom has a tight schedule that they stick to, which really helps my daughter stick to a routine during the week. The outdoor space is huge and they take all the kids out atleast once

My first child went here from the age of 2 until she was 4 and going into kindergarten. She attended the VPK classes. We loved this place, both parents and child. The staff have always been very friendly and kind to my daughter. They are strict on a few rules, but only in the best interest of the child. My oldest daughter, who is now 13, talks about Howell Branch Academy only in the best words. She really loved this school/daycare. I now have another daughter who is 2. I'm waiting on a space to open up so she can start here also. we took her on a walk through the classes and she wasn't wanting

I enrolled my son here over a year ago. He has loved attending this school every day since. He is well cared for by the staff and the director Fiona is amazingly attentive to each child that attends her facility. She is well organized, creates a loving and nurturing environment, and her facility is well maintained.

By far the best place to trust your child with! Secured doors, security cameras, huge play area, caring staff members and so much more! My daughter has been going here for the last 5 yrs and I've never been disappointed. I love the structure and guidelines the kids are given to help them grow as respectful young adults. By far the best childcare!!! :)
