Not a good choice if you have a strong willed child that has never attended daycare or school before.

This place is not what I thought it was when I put my kids in here.(they are no longer there) its so much from Mrs Odom when I told her something that concern my kids and when my child come home telling me that another child was making fun of her (from what I told Mrs Odom) my child said the girl that was doing it that her mom work there. But my point is there is no confidentiality at all!! I will be reporting them.but beware of the front office staff!!!!

My daughter attended Melina's for VPK. She had a wonderful experience and loved her teacher (Mrs. Bass) very much!

My family has been bringing their children to Malena's for 10+ years now. So, obviously when I had my first baby five months ago I immediately enrolled her at the Pine Forest location. I couldn't be happier with the infant teachers. They listen to and fulfill any and all requests. My daughter is kept on a very consistent schedule, which is super important to me. Her teachers are kind and love her like she's one of their own. My little one always comes home fed, clean, rested, and happy.
Ms. Malena is known for running a tight ship. She may seem strict sometimes, but it's always for good reason

The teacher's and staff are world class! The teacher's treat all the children as their own and have a genuine interest in seeing them succeed. My son went there for two years and I never had one bad experience. The only con I have is the parking can get aggravating due to its small size but the staff manage the traffic flow very well. I highly suggest this place for all families!

My son attended this school for their summer camp program. It was over priced and the front office person was lethargic and unprofessional. They issued my son a cheap & ugly plain white "summer camp" T-shirt that was two sizes too big. The overall attitude is that they are doing you a "favor" by watching your child. If it is in your budget to spend 130-150$ a week for a summer camp, I suggest you go to La Petite Academy. This school is a waste of your money. I am telling everyone I know to stay far, far away.

My family could not be happier than we are at Malena's. The staff at Malena's has seen our children grow from the infant room all the way through VPK and continues to care for them in the after school program. All of the teachers and staff members have been wonderful and caring toward them. They give them structure, a great learning environment and individual attention every day. Malena is professional, caring, and goes out of her way to provide a safe learning environment for all her students. I recommend Malena's to anyone looking for a great school for their children.

My daughter is attending Pre-K at Malena's and she loves her teachers. The teaching staff is friendly and caring to the students. Parent participation is encouraged and the learning materials are fun and energetic. However the facility needs expanding and the parking is unacceptable. The owner has an opportunity to have one of the best childcare operations in Pensacola if she will invest in improvements to the facilities and parking area. Maybe additional areas to park or better organized pick up/drop off routines. I would certainly recommend Malena's to friends and family alike.

I have had two granddaughters in Malena's and could not praise this school more. The staff is so caring about the students. The granddaughter that has already gone on to kindergarten is excelling because of what she learned in VPK. Her teacher said that she can tell when a child is coming from Malena's. Mrs. Gaddy and Mrs. Baker have been both of the girls teachers and they are above and beyond wonderful. How lucky we would be that Mrs. Baker would be the teacher of our left handed child as she is left handed herself. We have truly been blessed by these two teachers.

The staff overall is very kind, and genually interested in the welfare of your child. The owner on the hand is unprofessional, uncompromising, and just plain rude. My wife and I made the decision to breast feed my child. Since his two month check up, my son has been in the 90th percentile for weight, so the doctor wanted us to watch his feeding and curb on some intake.
My wife would pump 4-5 oz, and deliver it to the center. According to the owner, this was not enough. Once presented with a note from our Doctor, she still did not understand us. At one point, they gave my child water.
