From day one, Noelia Velez has been my go-to person, and I cannot speak highly enough of her professionalism and dedication. She is always on top of every detail regarding the school and its students, making my son feel special and supported. Whenever I have a concern or need assistance, Noelia is just a message away, ready to offer her support and guidance. The entire staff team has also been incredible, creating an environment where my son feels safe. I recommend this academy to any parent looking for a safe place for their child.

Hearing so many crazy stories. I did my research and came across MFA. I can honestly say I have no complaints. I know exactly what he eats and doesn't eat. The communication is excellent. The kids have fun while learning so much. I am glad that I found MFA. I know my son is safe and learning while having fun. ----- Author: Jolen Pena Rating: 5/5 Date: 4/7/2022, 12:06:27 PM Review: our son has been in My First Academy since he's been been 11 months old and he is now going on 4. MFA has been nothing less than Amazing!!! Being first time parents we were nervous putting him into daycare but it was one of the best decisions we've made choosing MFA. We're so happy with how smart our son is and how much he is learning everyday! All of the teachers & staff are very attentive to him & always keep us in the loop with his progress and how he is doing. It almost feels like we're family and that's a comforting feeling to have knowing our son is safe & loved. thank you MFA for all that you do day in and day out for our kiddos. <333 ----- Author: Vanessa Sanchez Rating: 5/5 Date: 4/6/2022, 7:21:12 PM Review: My first academy has been so great for my daughter. Since the very first day she started everyone knew who I was an who my child was. From day one they addressed her by name. The teachers an staff are very responsive and keep you up to date with everything that goes on. My daughter gets excited to go to school daily. If you looking for a safe an reliable school for your child this place is definitely it! ----- Author: Paola Jimenez Rating: 5/5 Date: 4/6/2022, 5:13:54 PM Review: God truly blessed us when we found My First Academy! Liam is so happy to go to school and there’s nothing better than being assured that he’s safe and well taken care of everyday. The teachers update us on what he eats, when he eats, when he naps, etc. Considering the world we’re living in, i’m glad that they make it such a safe and happy environment for my son. THANK YOU MY FIRST ACADEMY! 10/10 recommend! ❤️ ----- Author: Paola Pancorvo Rating: 5/5 Date: 9/16/2021, 3:48:24 AM Review: i enrolled my toddler earlier this year and i 100% recommend this daycare! it checked all the boxes that i was looking for in a daycare: caring staff, camera access, security, technology friendly (reports and communication are uploaded to their app daily). once my daughter got through the first week, she has been very happy going to and coming from daycare and has expanded her vocabulary tremendously! i love that the administration knows all their kids by first name, and they have so many fun activities that get parents involved! they just made this anxious parent feel that my child is safe and happy every time i drop her off!

Author: Julie Rating: 5/5 Date: 2/7/2025, 2:22:00 PM Review: We are incredibly grateful for the exceptional care and education our son has received at My First Academy over the past two years. After starting his journey with a nanny for the first 11 months, we were fortunate to find MFA when our nanny moved away. From the moment we stepped in for a tour, we were impressed by the immaculate environment and the presence of cameras that provided us peace of mind. Our son has thrived in this nurturing setting. He took his first steps just a week after enrollment, and by the age of one, he was already singing his ABCs. Now at two, he can confidently identify his colors and communicates exceptionally well. One of the aspects we appreciate most is the attentive care provided by the staff. Our son experiences non-breathing spells, and I am deeply thankful for Ms. Noelia's swift response when it happened shortly after I dropped him off. Teachers Ms. Kenya and Ms. Griseida acted quickly to assist him, demonstrating their commitment to the children's well-being. Whether it's a fever or a minor injury, Ms. Noelia, Ms. Adu, and Ms. Jenny always keep us informed, ensuring we feel connected and reassured. Even though there is a closer MFA location to our home, the extra travel is well worth it. The genuine care and concern for our children, coupled with the cleanliness and professionalism of the facility, make this school feel like family. We are beyond happy with the dedication of the directors and teachers at My First Academy. Thank you for creating such a wonderful environment where our son can thrive! ----- Author: Joseph Oliva Rating: 1/5 Date: 2/7/2025, 12:45:20 PM Review: Both of my daughters attended this campus. What a difference a decade makes. Downhill is not even the word for how much of a regression this institution has exhibited. The whole school needs to be scrutinized, but the culture is a reflection of ownership and the directors, especially Ms.Noelia. I was told I could walk my daughter to her class on her first day during the onboarding process, the director tried to stop us due to miscommunication on their behalf, 1st traumatic red flag. There was a day we called multiple times with no response, and when someone finally picked up the phone there was no accountability, 2nd traumatic red flag. The cameras went out for a day due to construction, with no backup plan, 3rd traumatic red flag. Finally my daughter spikes a fever while in school. By the time we were notified, no care was administered until my wife suggested an ice pack to lower the fever. As she is racing their to pick up our child she checks the camera and sees our feverish daughter sitting in the middle of the classroom with children running around her with a wet sponge in a plastic bag next to her. No consolation or emotional support being administered, rather than having a surveilled nursing room, she is being “isolated” amongst her peers who she may get sick, and to make matters worse is given a safety hazard because no one could hold the sponge to her head! Her mother arrives with constructive feedback for Ms.Noelia and is rebutted with, “If you don’t like our policy you can disenroll her!”. Ma’am, we are not degree holders in childhood eduction, but anyone with common sense would no this is not how you take care of a sick child. None the less we took you advice and removed our child immediately because you are not competent enough to direct this establishment or be in the care of young lives. You are fortunate that you insulted professionals and business owners who are patient today, because your disrespect and immaturity may not be reacted to so calmly by some of the other parents if you continue with this behavior. Everyone will now know how you failed to reassure parents in their most vulnerable moment, you are despicable. At this hour I still have not received a call from the owner, Ms.Dos Santos, but no matter how our conversation does go, if one does occur, it will not motivate me to remove this review because what has occurred is inexcusable. Ladies please ask yourselves if you’re in the right field as your classrooms progressively become more empty. To whoever is reading this, this goes without saying but I’ll repeat it again for the sake of your children, “Please don’t send your kids here!”. ----- Author: Linnette Salas- Lugo Rating: 5/5 Date: 4/16/2024, 1:28:22 PM Review: My daughter loves MFA so much! She has progressed so much since starting here when she was 1. The staff is all great, attentive, and communicative. The cameras and app make sure you know every little thing going on. 10/10 recommend to everyone I know ----- Author: Durlande Garraud Rating: 5/5 Date: 5/12/2023, 8:37:37 PM Review: Putting my 4 yr-old at My First Academy was probably one of the best decisions I've ever made. His vocabulary is getting more extensive. I was hesitant at first to let go, but the fact they have a camera in the class put me at ease. The teachers are amazing!!! Miss Jessica and miss Stephanie know all the kids by name and that's reassuring; it shows they care to know the kids and they're not just a number to them (these two are usually the ones I mostly Interact with). I love the LifeCubby app; they log in everything your child does, from how much they eat to their nap time. I'm glad I found this campus and I would recommend it to anyone looking early childhood care/schooling. . 2nd year Review: My son is finishing up VPK and graduating to kindergarten, and I'm still very glad I chose My First Academy, most specifically this campus while the other one was closer to home. I wish they taught Kindergarten as well. I'm sad we won't get another with them! DO NOT HESITATE TO CHOOSE THIS SCHOOL FOR YOUR BABIES! ----- Author: Yamila M Rating: 5/5 Date: 11/9/2022, 2:10:34 AM Review: It’s an excellent school and a place where children can have fun and learn. it’s a place where your children will be very well looked after and happy.

Not only do the teachers and staff feel like family because they're so kind & caring my son is learning so much. He surprises me everyday. At first I was terrified to leave him and having the cameras helped but I trust that he's being well taken care of and taught what he needs to know. He absolutely loves his teachers. We appreciate everyone especially Ms. Katie, Ms. Batina, Ms. Jessica & Ms. Stephanie. Thank you for all that you do! - Yeleine ----- Author: Nancy Tavarez Rating: 5/5 Date: 9/15/2021, 5:46:17 PM Review: Hello, this is Nancy Tavarez, mother to Leonardo in VPK. For starters my son was never in daycare & never left in the hands to anyone whom aren't his family so enrolling him and starting him in VPK was very difficult for me. But my son coming home everyday stating how much he loved his new school, teachers and friends made everything so much easier. Also being able to have access to the cameras to ensure that my son is in great hands brings me so much comfort. Every time I come to drop off or pick up my son I am always greeted with so much respect & love! Also seeing the way the teachers treat the other children bring me so much joy. It's a wonderful thing to be able to trust another person or multiple others (teachers) with my son. Definitely makes me want to enroll my second child when the time comes. Thank you to all the wonderful staff here at My First Academy!!!!! ❤️ ----- Author: cKarina Rodriguez Rating: 5/5 Date: 9/13/2021, 6:59:31 PM Review: I was very scared to leave my son because he suffers from eplisey however the teachers in his class agreed to meet to listen to our concerns and they are all familiar. It only took my son 10 days to get use to the "school routine" he loves his school, friends ans teachers. They provide you updates on an app and even access to see them on live camera. Great place!
