Excellent choice, we were comparing the other daycare facilities in the area and this was not only the best but also the one our son likes the most. The teachers are very nice and they have a lot of attention to detail. Our son is going there for a few weeks and we can see the progress in so many ways. Perhaps is the other kids who seem to be smart and with good manners, I can say better than what we saw from kids in the other daycare centers. The other reviews here are not only very old but also incorrect and unfair. This is the time when a child needs the best examples and as you can expect, there are people who are not born to be good parents and blame their failure as parents to anyone or anything. The rules are clear and both parents and children need to follow the rules given before day one. Actually, it is the parents responsibility to be the Main source of education for a child, daycare helps a lot but is not meant to fix any problematic child and bad parent. Im dissapointed to see so much hate online. A to Z is a great place and we are grateful that they have taken our son, they are flexible and very helpful. So many parents have their kids enrolled there for months or years, if you really want to know how A to Z really is, go and visit them, you will see what I mean. It was very important to have a place where our son wants to go, it is funny to see him wake-up every morning ( even on weekends ) and head to door with his backpack, ready to go to see his teachers and friends. He eats better, a lot of different foods, the homemade food is excellent, the place is very clean and they seem to like all those activities. We just dont wanted a place that can take our son, or a place that is only good for us as parents but also a place where he can learn, be happy and associate with kids that are good kids. Thank you A to Z teaches!

I had a similar experience as other parents. I went to check it out on my lunch hour. The director was at least dismissive of me and at worst RUDE. I watched the room were the 18 mo olds were, and there was this dirty, mingy, lady feeding a gorgeous little girl in a way that turned my stomach. I guess the girl was a picky eater, and may have been not hungry. This lady was just very harsh in tone towards her and complained to the director IN FRONT OF ME that the "little brat doesnt want to eat again". As my son is a bad eater as well, I got out of there as quickly as I could... This happened last year, I am now desperate enough with the daycare situation on the beach that I was going to see if they had improved, but I see they have not.... GET YOUR KIDS OUT!!!!

To begin with the owner does not seem to care for children. While i visited she was quite rude to me meanwhile telling my daughter not to play with the toys because she would make a mess???Hello is this not a child friendly place, it is in fact a daycare. The teachers were dirty and i dont mean clothes with stains I mean rotten teeth, poor hygene and terrible class. But what is expected of a daycare that the toys in the backyard are old, moldy and discolored. These same toys are being fought over by all the kids as all the toddlers were outside at the same time as the 4 year olds. I know the daycare situation on south beach can lead to desperation but before you enroll your child please spend a few hours observing.

My daughter has been here for about a month, and she is very happy, otherwise I would have notice... she is already writing her name, and love her friends and teachers. She has a lot of fun playing outside, so much, sometimes she ask me to pick her up latter... we are very happy over all... The other kids are very nice, as well as the parents... I can understand that some parents might not understand the different personalities, it might be even cultural... But have never seen lack of hygiene, deff no rotten toys or teeth or felt I wasnt welcome I stayed longer when dropping my daughter.. or pop for a visit in the middle of the day...

My daughter was there for about 2 month. the adaptation period was very hard on here, and " teachers" werent there to help. i pulled here out after i heard from my friend that she saw her at Flamingo Park all alone by herself, in tears. She didnt want to play with other kids and nobody tried to cheer her up, forget the safety. My daughter spent this 1 1/2 with my girlfriend playing with her kids, and nobody came to her to aks who she is ..and etc. She could just take her and leave and nobody would notice . Its Horrible! Please, think about your children, this place is not safe.

Whatever you do, DO NOT enroll your kids there! They treat kids like a herd of sheep. They treat parents like irreponsible people incapable of being parents. I know of a incident when a 2 year old boy was kicked out because he touched the Christmas tree! A two year old that they would place in a swing for several hours just because he was to much to deal with. They yell, literally, 2 inches away from your child s ear. I witnessed it. Is this the kind of daycare your looking for? I dont think so.
