I wasnt going to leave a review out of respect for being kind, but then I thought about how LITTLE respect I received when no one called me to let me know that my daughter had gotten urinated on by another child on the playground at this facility. My child has gotten harmed twice in a ONE MONTH period at this facility. If you love your child, DONT bring them here. The first time my toddler was pushed down on the playground by another kid, and her nose was bloody and bruised. She couldnt take school pictures the next week, let alone perform in a New Orleans parade with her dance team because of her bruised nose. Everyone asked me what happened and looked on in horror when I told she had gotten hurt at preschool. I let that situation slide because kids will be kids, but the last straw came when a young boy held my daughters head down on the playground and urinated on her from the neck down. I was disgusted and wondered how this could happen if teachers were watching because it takes time to do all of this. I dont know if my child was a victim of bullying and no one cared, etc. but what I do know is that supervision of your child on the playground is not top of the line here. My daughter was at a facility for 2 years before we moved to this area and came home with ONE bruise on her leg from falling down, and she had a band-aid for it. At this facility...my daughters nose was bloody when I picked her up the first time with no band-aid, etc. Her wound still had sand on it (I have pictures). Yes things do happen at daycare facilities, but there are some facilities better at watching children than others. I am going to tell the truth no matter how nice the previous reviews sound. Im currently working on a Masters degree, and working constantly, and knowing that my daughter was being harmed put even more stress on my life. Im so blessed to have her at another facility where the kids are nice, and the staff makes sure all the kids are nice and play properly with one another regardless of any differences, because that was all I wanted in the first place. I wanted her to be somewhere nice for a year so that she can graduate from preschool, but I didnt get that at Ovation, and I dont advise enrolling your child here.

DONT TAKE YOUR KIDS HERE. My daughter is ADHD and has to take medication 2 times a day while she was there the Caretakers were directly handed medication daily by myself, yet after 2.5 weeks of my daughter going there her prescription medication bottle came home without a label. I was told that my daughter had got a hold of the bottle and peeled the entire label off the bottle ( mind you my daughter doesnt touch the bottle when we are at home) but the real thing that alerted me to the horrible supervision is how can a child get into contact with prescription medication in the first place and then be left alone long enough to get the entire label off like there had never been a label on the bottle in the first place. Im sorry I have sat and tried to get an entire label off an old medication bottle and it has taken me well over 10 mins to get it off to make it look like it wasnt on the bottle in the first place so that tells me a child (regardless of who it was was unattended and with prescription meds for well over 10 mins). Then #2 They charged charges to my account and didnt inform me that i would have charges since when she was enrolled i have emails stating what i would pay to enroll her and then weekly charges not an additional charge and then to top it off they didnt tell me till 12 days after they charged it too my account. Sorry that is horrible business practices.

The facility Did not look clean. I witnessed filthy carpet, chipped wall paint that is within hands reach of a child, one of the workers McDonalds coffee cup on a window sill that was in arms reach of a child. The windows had dirty hand prints and crayon marks all over it. I saw a water stain on the ceiling above the kids washing station from a water leak.There was trash by the playground. My children do dont attend here nor will they ever. I feel that as popular as this place is the owner should provide a more sanitary facility for little ones and not once Did I see the facility owner while I was there visiting.

Need more preschools like this one on the coast. Truly one of a kind - of all the schools I checked to place my babies (oh believe me I checked them all) Ovation Learning Center was home. Mrs Brandy and her crew treated my children as though they were family and my girls really appreciated that. The curriculum and sprit the center provided more than prepared my girls for big school- I believe Ovation to be a large part of why my girls excel in school still today! Your most precious gifts are our children and they all deserve to be cared for and loved like they would be here.

My daughter has been going to school here for about a year. She has gone from being super clingy and attached to barely waving goodbye to me in the morning as shes running off to find her friends. She talks about her friends and teachers at home. She sings songs and "writes" (shes 3). These women take the time to calm her on her bad mornings and encourage her interact and learn. This is NOT just a daycare. This is NOT a glorified babysitter. This is a school that kids are excited to attend.

Working with Brandy, I have seen the passion she radiates when it comes to working with kids, teaching, and spreading her love for the arts. In school systems today, I feel like the arts are often some of the least prioritised aspects in education despite being super important for everyone. Because of this, Ovation Learning Center is really an asset to our community. I love that Ovation Learning Center is cultivating talent and creativity by encouraging these young children!

I have never wanted to leave my child in a daycare-style facility. Never. However, after meeting the owner, seeing the care she has put into the facility itself, and talking to others who have been here, I can say with all honesty that I cant wait for my children to enter the doors of the Ovation Learning Center. Thrilled Gulfport has such a wonderful and safe place for children to be when they cannot be at home.

Ovation teaches our children to "Think outside the box"... My son has been going to Ovation for almost a year, and has soaked in so much! Ovation has so much to offer to our little ones, and I would recommend this school to anyone! Attached is a picture of my little one at "Fiddle Dee", one of the many curricular activities Ovation offers!

Love, Love, Love this place.. I wouldnt want my children any where else. Its more than a school. There love and compassion for children is awesome. My daughter is a pre teen now and the wonderful memories and talented and knowledgeable staff have helped mold her into the remarkable young lady she is grown into. ❤️❤️i
