Apopka Child Academy

Kids have literally been going here since they were babies...the staff is amazing, they're so supportive when it comes to your child's needs and education. Now my kids are in big school and doing so well because of the teachers that they had.

Was easy to get our kids in and staff were good to my infant except the infant room while my son was in there the teachers only knew portugués when it came to picking him up and they knew no English which made communication hard. They do have one English speaking teacher in the infant room that I’ve noticed only in mornings but it made me question how they get circle time, reading , math and other things done with my infant if the teachers didn’t know English. My other son who’s in VPK attended for only 3 weeks and had trouble adjusting/ transitioning and he seemed to always have a write up everyday to where I felt they wrote him up to just have a reason to kick him out . He was about to start speech and occupational therapy the following week but Mrs Amanda had a talk with mom in a meeting to where Mrs Amanda said it would be his last week so yes , he got kicked out ( mom had to let him stay home the rest of the week , we weren’t going to let him finish the week and end up having to get him an hour later due to “ behavior “ ) . We got a warning about him being kicked out if he didn’t improve since it wouldn’t be a “ good fit “ for him . The daycare called mom to pick him up by 8am ( she dropped them off by 6:45) and no exceptions since my son was causing a disturbance and crying so she had to leave a job she just started & we withdrawal our infant because in our eyes if one son isn’t excepted then we weren’t going to have his brother stay . I can say they aren’t patient with kids who have trouble adjusting to change. front lady did mention my 4 year olds teacher was patient of him but he took to much attention off of the other kids and the new year was going to start and they felt he wasn’t going to be a good fit. It hurt me to see my son not accepted . The day my son had a huge outburst and we had to pick him up we noticed the cause may have been from a blue backpack we just got for him and it seemed like someone from class cut the strap off ( my son would never dare to cut his favorite bluet character items ) and when we asked staff they said the teacher stayed “he pulled it and the straps pulled off from pulling it from the hooks “ ( I tried to pull it and I couldn’t even break the strap ). So there was allot of covering up it seemed . Fast forward to today, my son has been 2 months into speech and my son has improved and talk sentences and his new school he just started he has no issues with and adjusted great without crying his eyes out unlike with this school! My son has level one autism and we explained that to his new daycare he’s in now and they assured me they are certified to work with kids with disabilities and they don’t discriminate . All my son needed was a school to understand him and believe in him. Trust your kids when they act up , kids pick up vibes more then adults can . If your kid is normal then yes , this school would be good for your kid since it’s easier for their staff to deal with kids who are up to learning level.

The owner and staff here is amazing. They gave me peace of mind leaving my daughter with them daily. Special thanks to Ms. Mary, she made my daughter's transition to ACA seamless. I also appreciate Ms. Amanda, Maria and Ms. Trice, for always being genuinely kind. Much blessings to you all. Thank you!!

Impressive teachers and friendly staff. My child enjoys going to preschool here. She has learned a lot. She sings almost constantly and I can tell she's getting a good education. The playground offers many choices and has helped her mobility. We're very happy here.

I just love how my daughter loves her teachers and school. The staff is very friendly, and the program itself is very creative and engaging. I would definitely recommend this center to anyone and everybody! Keep up the good work apopka child academy!!!!!
