Starting Ahead Academy

Are you ready to see your child thrive in a nurturing, loving, and academically rich environment? Look no further than Starting Ahead Academy! This extraordinary school has been a transformative experience for my children, and the dedicated staff truly cares about every student’s growth and success. My son is now in his final year at SAA, and it’s amazing to reflect on his journey. From when he first started at just 1.5 years old, he has blossomed into a confident learner. He went from being a quiet little one to mastering his ABCs, colors, and numbers in no time. Now, he’s writing and learning words – and preparing to head to kindergarten with a strong foundation for success. Starting Ahead Academy is more than just a preschool – it’s a place where children are set up for excellence in elementary school and beyond. I’m forever grateful to the incredible staff at SAA for their unwavering patience, support, and dedication. A huge thank you to Alexandra and her team for keeping us parents engaged and for their passionate commitment to preparing our kids for a bright future.

I visited and interviewed almost all the learning centers in the area before choosing Starting Ahead Academy. As an elementary school teacher, I was looking for a curriculum that stimulated my child's mind academically and creatively. As a parent, I was looking for a safe and loving environment. On our tour, I was very impressed with the facilities, staff and the owner's ability to address all of my questions. Since my three year old started, she has learned so much. Her letter and number recognition are great and her vocabulary has really expanded. My daughter also has a food allergy which the staff handles with incredible detail. I am beyond thrilled with the our experience at Starting Ahead Academy. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a caring educational center.

My son has been with Starting Ahead for just under a year now. He is enthusiastic about attending every morning and loves his peers. As a 3 year old, that is pretty hard to find, when attending school. I have 3 daughters as well and they went to a more well known school and our experience was much less satisfactory. As a parent we find Mrs. Diaz, the Director, and all of her staff to be very caring, loving and incredibly attentive to my child's needs. They are extremely talented with children and very well experienced. In fact, I changed my work schedule when my wife was hired for another position that would make her unable to take him to the Academy. That is how far I will go to say that this institution deserves a 5 star rating and this review.

Starting Ahead is an amazing school! I highly recommend this school to any parent looking for a learning center for their child. Alexandra is an incredible director who goes above and beyond for her students and most importantly she makes the parents feel secure and confident that their kids are well taken cared of. The teachers in this center are amazing and they work together as a team. My son was soooo loved and also learned so much! They did a superb job preparing him for Kindergarten! I love Alex, Andrea, and Rosa! They are the best!! I will be forever grateful for the wonderful work they did with my son!! Starting Ahead Academy rocks!!!!!!!!

I moved back to Miami last August after being away for 10 years. I had such an awesome experience with my 6 year old day care up north that I was really worried when I moved and had no place for my 1 year old at that time. As a mother one always worry who will be watching your child. I stopped by Starting Ahead Academy and met the owner and one of the teachers. They were like angels, I felt a great vibe and the school was set up in a way that I knew the director would be able to see all the children. Being a kindergarten teacher I saw what was going on in the pre-k room and those kids were taught correctly and that made me feel 10 times better. I know that my 18 month old has still won't be in kindergarten for another 3 years but I know that she will be more than ready when is her turn. Being greeted every morning with a smile and my daughter not having a melt down when I leave her, lets me know they are taking good care of her and she loves to be there. I would recommend this academy because it is not a daycare, your children as little as mine is are learning...she knows how to hold a crayon correctly and its learning many things. Thank you again Alexandra for allowing me to bring Valeria and loving her that much. You make it easier to go to work and not be worried!!!! I know God put you guys in my path for an easier transition :)
