Schools in Lakewood Ranch, FL

“Hands down best daycare/preschool around. I love how they keep me updated on my child throughout the day by getting multiple pictures of my daughter having fun and learning and what she has eaten. Our daughter started here in April after having a bad experience at our previous childcare facility . Enrolling our toddler at The Learning Experience has been the best decision my family has ever made. All of the teachers and staff have been so comforting and nurturing and can really tell that they love their job. As a first time mom this brings me so much reassurance and happiness to know my child is well taken care of and loved. Ms. Lee, Ms. Sandy,Ms. Liz, Ms. Crystal and Ms. Staci thank you so much for helping my little girl get adjusted to a new center and building her self esteem back up. Although are time at The Learning Experience is just beginning it has been the nothing short of amazing. My daughter went from crying and begging me to not take her to “school” to begging me to take her to “school”.”

“Our son went to Kiddie Academy for a short period of time and we loved it! A nice and clean facility with friendly and attentive staff. One of my favorite things was getting picture updates of our son everyday!! Really the only downside was the cost of tuition. It's rather high for most, and unfortunately, we had to enroll our son in a different daycare because of that. But we greatly miss the academy and would love to return sometime in the future!”

“As a parent, choosing the right preschool for your child is pivotal. I am thrilled to share our positive experience at The Goddard School, which has exceeded our expectations in fostering our child’s growth in numerous key areas.Social and Emotional Development:Since enrolling, I’ve observed significant strides in my child’s social and emotional development. Initially shy, they now eagerly look forward to school days The teachers use thoughtful activities that promote sharing, empathy, and self-expression, which helped my child develop strong interpersonal skills and emotional resilience.STEAM Curriculum:The Goddard School’s STEAM curricular is another area where our expectations were surpassed. The hands-on, integrated approach to science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics has sparked a love of learning in my child. For instance, a recent project on simple objects not only taught them the basics of physics but also encouraged critical thinking and problem-solving skills.Teachers’ Attention and Discipline:The full attention that teachers give to each child is remarkable. They are adept at recognizing each child’s needs and adapting their approach accordingly, ensuring that no child feels overlooked. This individual attention has been crucial in reinforcing healthy, positive habits and discipline. The structured routine at The Goddard School has taught my child the importance of time management and responsibility, invaluable skills that extend beyond the classroom.Friendliness of Staff and Teachers:The warmth and professionalism of the staff and teachers have been consistently impressive. They are not only approachable and responsive but also genuinely invested in each child’s well-being and development. For example, during daily reports and parent-teacher meetings, they provide detailed insights into my child’s progress, strengths, and areas for improvement, demonstrating their commitment and care.Conclusion:Choosing The Goddard School for our child’s early education was one of the best decisions we could have made. The school’s emphasis on social-emotional learning, robust STEAM curriculum, and the exceptional staff have played a crucial role in our child’s development. I highly recommend The Goddard School to any parent looking for a comprehensive, caring, and dynamic educational environment for their child.”
