What Parents Say
Fantasy Academy has highly polarized reviews. Some parents praise the caring staff, bilingual instruction, cleanliness, and safe environment, reporting satisfied children over multiple years. However, other parents report serious concerns including inadequate staff-to-child ratios, poor hygiene, lack of communication about incidents, unprofessional management, and verbal mistreatment of children.
This establishment used to be Fantasy Academy and recently changed Directors. It used to be amazing. I have taken my child here for the past year and a half. The new director, Yailyn is an awful director. She’s never there, is only there to collect a paycheck and doesn’t care about the well-being of the children at all. Very unprofessional. I have daycares that send them photos throughout the day, and this lady wouldn’t let me see the videos of an instance where they were saying my kid “ATTACKED” another kid. Yes, you saw that correctly. My 3 year old “ATTACKED” someone. Completely out of character. And how am I supposed to know how to scold him correctly if I don’t know what happened? Awful management, and she was very disrespectful to me.. not professional at all.
Horrible! I took my son out the 2nd week there. To many kids for a few teachers. The teachers can't give enough attention to the kids because they have so many! My son had a Horrible diaper rash from this place where it looked like they never changed him! I picked him up and he was soaked through his shorts with pee. Awful experience and wouldn't advise any parent to bring their child here
So where do I start. i give Mrs. Mimi a one star.. because she very unprofessional and a LIER!!! I will say her teachers deserves10 stars they always.provided exactly Care for my babies... I won't go in full details but I will say she needs to retire!!!
