My daughter loved coming here. The teachers had worked worked her adjusting to being in daycare when she first arrived as well . All of the staff are very nice and attentive to all the children. They do so many activities with the children as well. The facility is really clean and full of color. I would recommend this daycare to anyone in the area. My daughter really enjoyed her time here at this daycare she made a ton of memories there. Highly recommend.
The Academy staff loved on our daughter and taught her many things. She was well cared during her time here. The facility is always clean and the children are always actively engaged. I was always surprised by the creativity and thoughtfulness of the staff with art projects and science projects. Even more, their outdoor play structures are well maintained and used often. The leadership team of Ms Lisa and Ms Summer communicated with us exceptionally well. The owner of the Academy is kind hearted and clearly loves this Academy. We were sad to say goodbye due to some family changes, but we heartily recommend this Academy to any family looking for high quality childcare in the Ft Walton Beach area.
Our son (first child) started at the center in 2016. He was 12 weeks old and I was extremely nervous leaving him to go back to work. From day one they made me feel comfortable. The communication has been amazing. I truly love the employees at this center that have started with us since he was 12 weeks. I am a nurse so infection control and CPR certifications were a must for me. They work hard to keep the center clean and organized. Our daughter also started at the center in 2017 at 6 weeks old. They have been in the baby, one year old, and two year old room. I truly trust the current staff and love the recent changes they have made. I have no doubt that my children are well loved!
My daughter has been in this center for over 2yrs. She started in the nursery, moved to the 1yr old room, and is now in the 2yr old room. We have always enjoyed this center, with the changes and upgrades that have been made the last few months we are loving it even more!!! The staff no matter which classroom throughout the school address my daughter by name, and makes her feel welcome. This isn’t just a “daycare” that they watch your kids so you can work. It’s more like a learning center in your families living room.
We have had our daughter enrolled her since September 2017. She started in the 1 yr room when she 2 months shy of turning 2. Those couple months were pretty rough for us as she was ahead of the other (closer to 1 vs closer to 2) kids in the classroom. There is quite a big difference between 1 and 2 and the providers in the room had a hard time managing that difference I think. The director at the time initially placed blame on us for the situation without realizing the issues the providers were having in managing the classroom. She was however very patient with the situation and worked with us and the providers to fix the problems. There were other management issues that were highlighted through this process at least from my point of view and whether it was related to these issues or not, that director left the center. She was replaced by a experienced manager from the main center and Lisa has been wonderful! The center used to feel a bit like a collection of babysitters rather than full daycare providers and Lisa has turned that all around. She is a very experienced manager and teacher and the center has really benefitted form her direction. I have had great talks with her as well as a brief introduction and talk with one of the owners and they are very focused on ensuring the changes they have made in processes and staff are all focused on the care, safety, and development of the kids in attendance. My daughter is excited to go to "school" and see her teachers, Cayleigh, Mia, and Summer and really enjoys playing with her friends there. Her attendance had a bumpy beginning, but were pleased with the center now overall and will continue her attendance there.
