Author: Jim Garrett Rating: 5/5 Date: 2/22/2025, 4:48:32 AM Review: Our daughter has attended Launch for almost 2 years now in the infant/toddler classes where I attended alongside my child. We have met some of our closest friends by attending this program. The school is basically brand new and very well designed. What impresses us the most and keeps us coming back every year is the teachers. They are an amazing group of extremely qualified early childhood educators and counselors!! ----- Author: Shaara Barron Rating: 5/5 Date: 6/11/2024, 8:00:49 PM Review: Our toddler attends Launch Learning in the Older Infant program and she absolutely loves it (and so do we!). This program is truly unique, as a parent attends with the child for the younger infants and toddlers, which is what initially drew us to try it out! She is so excited to go every week and do all the activities and play. She has grown so much socially, too, being around a group of kids that she got familiar with. I love that the activities are enriching and everything is prepared and planned out, so we just show up and participate! Everything is developmentally appropriate, while also introducing new skills and challenges for her to try out. She is getting tons of experiences that she wouldn't be getting if we just stayed home and has access to all sorts of cool equipment that we don't have at home. They have activities that address all aspects of her development - speech, gross motor, social skills, problem solving - along with time for music and stories, too! I also love that I attend with her so I get ideas of activities to do at home with her. The classrooms are so clean and everything is well cared for. Another helpful aspect is the monthly parent classes, which go into conscious discipline, social emotional learning, and how it applies to raising kids. I learn so much from these and they really help me understand her little toddler mind and how to approach things with her. So glad that we found this unique program and highly recommend others to check it out! ----- Author: Sarah Lorraine Rating: 5/5 Date: 9/6/2023, 9:19:11 PM Review: We love Launch Learning Preschool! Our son had been going since he was 18 months starting in the older infant class. We have so enjoyed the wonderful teachers, the monthly parent connect meetings, and the monthly community events. I so enjoy getting to stay and learn with my son in these early education classes, and I enjoy connecting with the other moms and parents in our class. Our son has become much more confident, independent, and I feel like I’m better equipped as a parent since coming here. If you’re looking for a unique school with an opportunity for you as a parent to really be involved with your child and grow together, this is your school! ----- Author: Joshua Smith Rating: 5/5 Date: 8/1/2023, 10:16:39 PM Review: My son attended the younger infant class last year and it exceeded expectations! It was particularly helpful for a first-time parent. We are looking forward to this upcoming school year! ----- Author: Sydney Smith Rating: 5/5 Date: 3/21/2023, 11:37:54 AM Review: We have been attending Launch Learning for three months now and my son absolutely adores Ms. Colleen. The infant classes are designed to teach not only the children but the parents also. He and I both look forward to our weekly classes and bring new songs and activities home every week! This is an amazing opportunity for new parents to learn and really maximize these early years of development for your child.

Author: Sherry Romanella Rating: 5/5 Date: 2/21/2025, 4:50:57 PM Review: I have two daughters who attend Launch Learning Preschool and have attended since day 1. I can wholeheartedly recommend it. I love how the teachers partner with us as parents … and their level of care for my children. I love how much my children are learning and how much fun they have at school. I love that Conscious Discipline is employed. I love the STEM focus, the organization, and the exposure to activities in the classroom and outside. I love the sensory room. I love the parent classes. I appreciate the focus on healthy snacks. If you are familiar with Brevard County’s former Lab School . . . this is it, only even better! The facility is brand new. The playground is brand new. The people who work here create a safe environment where children and parents enjoy learning. The most important aspect to me is how the adults talk to my child, how they help with regulation skills, how they help the children resolve any conflict with one another, and how they respond when children are not able to regulate. This is the biggest difference in this school from others. My children feel loved and safe. The social emotional learning that takes place daily is incredible. Parents are valued and encouraged to be involved. I am a picky parent … and a certified educator myself. I am so thankful this school is in our community and I gladly drive past other schools to it.

The facility is safe, clean, and very organized. I love the Montessori setup too! My toddler has grown so much in this last year since attending. Everyone is so warm and friendly - from the staff to the beautiful families who attend. Our experience in the parent/child class has been invaluable; my toddler has grown so much in his vocabulary and social skills. He has broken out of his more reserved shell and will sing and dance in front of the whole class. He loves his teachers so much and is so comfortable. We re-enrolled with the school for the transitional 3 year old program - and I couldn’t be more excited. I never thought I would ever be able to feel comfortable dropping my sweet child off anywhere…but this school truly makes you feel like you are family. In addition to the classroom time, they hold monthly meetings to get the parents together and teach us very helpful skills in how to handle difficult situations and emotions with our children using the Conscious Discipline methodology. This philosophy has opened up my eyes to a whole new world….and learning this truly changes how you interact with not only your children, but everybody around you. I have toured other schools who use the traditional “authoritative” approach with the children and I can tell you….The conscious discipline method is not only more effective, but it makes you feel good knowing your little ones are being treated like human beings with thoughts and feelings instead of being “talked down to”. Honestly, I could go on and on and on, but this school has exceeded my expectations and I couldn’t recommend them enough!!! ----- Author: Jamie Jones Rating: 5/5 Date: 10/10/2023, 3:46:22 PM Review: We are so glad to of found Launch Learning Preschool, and joined the LLP family. Our three year old had not been to any drop off programs prior to starting, so it was a bit of an adjustment. They welcomed him with open arms and did their best to comfort as well as accommodate him. Each of the teachers have a true passion for what they do, and it shows. We absolutely adore Ms. Kailey, and Ms. Stephanie, and my son looks forward to each day in their classroom with his peers. They create weekly curriculums to help each child grow and develop their skills that will further prepare them for grade school. The education isn’t just provided to the students, but also the parents to help further aid their children both inside the classroom and out. I can’t say enough good things about Launch Learning Preschool, and my youngest will eventually be a student there as well. We will continue to recommend them to anyone seeking a creative, inclusive, heartfelt, and trustworthy preschool. Thank you Launch Learning for being a phenomenal safe learning space for this mama to send her babies!

Author: Paloma Mendoza Rating: 5/5 Date: 2/21/2025, 12:22:03 PM Review: Launch Learning is a unique learning environment for students and parents alike. Children are taught through mindful play-based learning, ranging from infants through VPK. The curriculum is often catered to the needs presented by the children, rather than a “standard”. Parents are guided and supported with monthly lessons from the educators using Conscious Discipline techniques. We are provided with endless resources on how to build resilient and healthy parent-child relationships. ----- Author: Nike Adamo Rating: 5/5 Date: 5/16/2024, 8:07:55 PM Review: Highly recommend this school.

Love this school- my son started last fall and I have zero worries about his care or safety. It's a small- local run facility without corporate regulations. But run with kids in mind. and I am grateful that Ms. Johanna opened this gem. She truly built a great team. They are supportive of the kids and of the families. 1000% recommend.

Enrolling my son at this school has been one of the best decisions we have ever made for him! He has now been attending for 1.5 years and the growth I have seen is incredible, both in him and us as parents. The staff focuses on the entire family, not just the students. We meet each month and are able to connect with other families, chat with the teachers, and learn about the conscious discipline methods for handling different situations. All the while, my now 3 year old is learning in school through intentional play. I have met some of my closest friends through this school. It may sound cheesy, but it really does feel like a family where we are all working together towards the same goal.

My husband and I had our daughter this last March. We always knew that we wanted to start her education early in life. I myself am a new mom and I always wanted to find a mom group that I was able to connect with and be on the same stage of baby life. One day I was researching on Google and found launch learning in our area. I realized that they provided everything that I wanted with having my baby learn and being able to meet new parents. We went and took a tour and absolutely fell in love with everything and everyone. The great thing I love about Launch is that my daughter moves up with her class and hopefully will keep her friends for a lifetime.
This preschool feels like home. We’ve been a part of the school family for 2 years now. The parent connect classes are an amazing opportunity for families to learn and grow together. The staff is wonderful. I know my child is safe and loved when he’s at school. We LOVE LLP!

My toddler just finished his first year at Launch and can’t wait to go back in the fall. We love the entire staff and are immensely grateful to have found such a kind and inclusive community for my shy guy.
