This was the first year I have been taking my son to Ladybird in lake mary. I will not say that their teaching of my son is in anyway poor however I like to feel comfortable with the place I bring my precious children. That I must say is not how I feel. They seem to be all about the money and nothing more. I came in early one time to speak with the teacher regarding my childs progress. School starts at 9 am and I was there at 845 am to speak with the teacher. I was there until 9 am in the class room with my son and then left before school began. No big deal right? Wrong! I and was met with a 20 dollars invoice for bringing my son in early. WTF Most recently, I asked the school if my older son, who goes to bentley elementary, could ride their bus back to ladybird. I needed a little help due to the fact that Im now raising 2 boys basically by myself. Do you think they could work with me. Nope. That will be $75! per week! just for a ride from bentley to ladybird. a ride that they do everyday already. I wouldnt recommend this school to anyone unless you want to think of your kid as a business write off to them. all they care about is the money. but business is business I guess. when i find a more family friendly school, Ill follow up on this post.

My son goes to this school and from the moment he began, he has been absorbing so much information and at times surprising his dad and I. They have the Abeka curriculum and not many preschools have this. The teachers are great - Ms Lonni, Savannah, Maralyn, Valentina, and Amber. There are a few more, but I cannot remember their names. I can tell that they really enjoy the kids and work hard. Ms Brittany is the new director and I actually like her more than the old director. She is easy to talk to, personable, and knowledgeable. I noticed that one reviewer stated the A/C is cold, but I wouldnt want it any other way. The A/C keeps bacteria and germs from growing - something I learned as the daughter of a nurse. I have always seen the center clean and the smell of clean often greets me at the door in the evenings at pickup. My one critique would be that I would like them to have more variety with breakfast and lunch, and to provide more snacks for kids whose parents pick up late in the evening. It means a lot to us that our son enjoys preschool and given the experience we have had, Ladybird was a great decision.

Rated it a 5 so people could read this! I worked there at the one in lake forest and it was disgusting how some of the teachers treated the children I finally had enough reported it to head ladys daughter Lindsey and she told me it wasnt my buisness!!!! Its all about the money!!! The sad thing is one of the worst teachers now is running it so go figure they would allow that!!! You couldnt pay me to leave my kids there hell you couldnt pay me to stay there!!! Think about this when the door closes I saw what went on and if I could leave a job with decent pay and amazing hours that has to tell you something.

I like that you need a code to get through the second set of doors to visit classrooms as a security feature. They have a camera and an app that keeps you in the loop with the activities that the kids are doing which we use a lot. There are activities such as water day, soccer shots, tumbling, spirit week and book fair events, and visits from Kona Ice that the kids love. We are very protective and dont have family around so we like to take advantage of their parent nights out. I know a few parents that left and are thinking about coming back because there arent alot of preschools that compare to Ladybird.

As first time parents we were very meticulous about choosing a daycare, however Ladybird has exceeded our expectations. The staff is wonderful, warm, and very welcoming. Within the first month it seemed like every teacher would greet him by name as we walked down the hallway. The food they provide is nice & well balanced which I like. The activities/ curriculum is very educational & I believe hes grown tremendously in the short period of time hes been there.....

Teachers are great; management and corporate office have nothing to offer with it comes to having a problem. Every summer the AC is out and no parents are contacted, you ask when it will be fixed and they have no real answers. When picking up my child at the end of the day the kids have wet hair from sweating all day and again no parent contact to let us know of the problem. If it wasnt for the teachers i would go elsewhere!

Like anything in this world you get what you pay for. Yes, Ladybird are not the "cheapest" out there but when it comes to the care of my children I dont want the "cheapest", I want the best. Ladybird have been nothing but fantastic with our two children. Nowhere is perfection but I truly believe Ladybird are as good as it gets. There are plenty of "cheap day cares" out there but Ladybird are far from "day care".

The place is ok if you have no choice. The instructors are nice but management are hypocrites. They say hi and bye behind your back but dont really care much about you but your money. The A/C is always running high freezing everyone to death, bathrooms are dirty and they dont pay attention to your needs. Look elsewhere for childcare.

The director of this school is a first class biotch she does not care about the kids at all she is very fake and will smile in your face but you can see behind the facade I would not send my kids here. I want my kids somewhere that I will feel comfortable that they are getting the attention they deserve.

Great school in comparison to other traditional "day care" alternatives. Very happy up to now. School is nice, teachers are friendly and my child definitely learns a lot. Its pretty amazing actually how much my child picks up. No complaints!

We love Ladybird! They are family to us! Both of my children have attended Ladybird since they were infants. They receive the best care and are receiving the best education! I recommend them to everyone! Thank you Ladybird!
