teachers are honestly horrible, the kids need more supervision from the teachers themselves.

My daughter De'Nyjah Oliver loved this school before and after care program

LAST Friday DTA Academy bus driver came out of Deltona Lakes Elementary and did not stop at stop sign before taking a right on Adelia. At Elkcam and Providence intersection the driver blew threw a yellow light, which was actually red for most of bus going through intersection. Called DTA and only got voice mail. Parents beware if this driver/company is transporting your child before or after school.

This place is a joke!!!. They have 2 year olds mixed with one year olds, 2year olds mixed with 3 and 4 year olds, 5+ all mixed together, and not mention the special needs children who don’t get the proper care they need. I wouldn’t recommend this daycare to anyone to send your child or to work. I worked here and couldn’t even speak to the owner(Heather) regarding any issues she just comes to pick up her money every week . They do not follow the ratio for kids per teacher. I have photos of overly packed classrooms with only myself in attendance. They are notified when DCF is coming so that’s about the only time rules are followed. They will send teachers home to save money because that is all they care about. Kids are constantly left unattended when they could just have people on the clock. Yell at a child for running out of a room that a adult wasn’t even in it’s ridiculous!! The director Chrissy is a teacher that didn’t want to be a director so she chooses to let the place be complete chaos instead. There’s plenty of empty rooms and space all they have to do is put people on the clock and hire a director with experience. The teachers are great but there’s only so much they can do when the owner(heather) and the director (chrissy) insists on doing things their way (wrong). I’ve made multiple complaints and hopefully something will be done about it! I’ve spoken to someone at the other location sunshine academy owned by the same owner and apparently it’s just as bad. I’m just glad I had a positive impact on the kids while I was there :(

Watched a teacher smack a kid there for having a meltdown after talking about how horrible a child he is right in front of him

I have been waiting for a refund for now 3 weeks, people that work at that center have absolutely no clue. There is absolutely NO WAY to speak to the owner of the center. Apparently once you with draw the child from that location the parent is not allowed at the center.... Per Ms JoAnne 06.14.2022. They had ZERO problems taking a month in advance payment HOWEVER they do NOT want to give it up. The acting director is just a vpk teacher not director certified, so another word ZERO office personal. This was the first daycare I put my child in however the experience only lasted 2 weeks because it was not a good fit, and this has become the WORST Nightmare trying to get what is rightfully mine .

My daughter went here for 2 years and at first it was great. They changed hands recently staff wise and it’s been down hill since. My daughter was coming home with lice almost everyday and they kept indicating it was coming from my home and had nothing to do to do with them. You would think if it came from our house me and my other kids would have it as well and we didn’t. I would pull full grown bugs out of her hair daily after school! Since we have moved, guess what’s disappeared, the lice!! Not to mention it smelled like baby pee every morning dropping her off. They need more staff to help take care of the children. Possibly address the issues at hand instead of dismissing them.
