Author: Matthew Binkley Rating: 5/5 Date: 5/10/2024, 2:14:59 AM Review: Admin, teachers, and assistants all work hard to make sure students are safe, challenged, and welcome! ----- Author: Marlen Marin Rating: 5/5 Date: 5/9/2024, 2:00:50 AM Review: Updates 2 years later! My 2.5 yr old and 4 yr old are now together at Capstone. The teachers and staff have been so kind and loving to our family. My son is in Ms. Jeanny‚Äôs class and she takes such great care of him. I receive so much feedback from her and the staff. Communication is so important and valued when you are leaving your children under the care of others. My daughter is now in Mrs. Joanne‚Äôs class. She gets so excited over homework and loves to practice her writing. Mrs. Joanne always greets us with a beautiful warm and welcoming smile in the mornings. You can tell all the staff truly love what they do and enjoy being there every day. My little ones feel safe and loved and are thriving in such a nurturing environment. Thank you Capstone! Teacher Appreciation 2022! Our daughter started Capstone daycare at 14 months old. She is about to turn two, and my, has she grown! She is in Ms. Martha's class and is always excited to go to school. It amazes me how much she has learned since we enrolled her! We get daily reports on her progress, and the teachers are very good at communicating any needs or concerns to us. The staff is wonderful, and they continue to teach to her in Spanish, just like her abuelos. You feel the kindness and love‚Äîwhen it‚Äôs pick up time she doesn‚Äôt want to leave. They are diligent with keeping up to date with her Epi-pen and PRN meds for allergies. Our daughter has dairy, peanut, and egg allergies, but Capstone stays on top of it! They have been trained and know how to recognize symptoms, so they can act fast. I am so grateful for Ms. Martha as well as Daniela, Denise, and Genesis. These ladies are just the ones I see and talk to the most, but I know our daughter has a whole team of amazing teachers and assistants! Thank you, Capstone, for taking such great care of my little girl! ----- Author: Rachel Rating: 5/5 Date: 5/6/2024, 8:40:02 PM Review: Capstone is an amazing school. I know my kids are always safe and the small class sizes allows them to get the attention they need to succeed. ----- Author: Gabriela Carbonell Rating: 5/5 Date: 5/6/2024, 4:42:34 AM Review: We are so blessed to have Ms Martha and all of our son‚Äôs excellent teachers ‚ù§Ô∏è I love how my son names them every morning and even on the weekends (Ms. Martha, Ms. Laurie, Dani, and other names I‚Äôm still trying to understand ü§≠). He‚Äôs been learning so much!! He just turned 2 and he knows body parts in English and Spanish, animal sounds, manners, more vocabulary, soon to be potty trained, some numbers, and he loves books. I love knowing that my child is safe and loved by all Capstone family ü•∞ ----- Author: Desire Montgomery Rating: 5/5 Date: 5/1/2023, 5:15:19 PM Review: After moving to Florida in the summer of 2021, I was on a mission to find a good daycare for my son who was 3 at the time. I passed this building one day and immediately noticed the bible verse at the top front of the building and knew that's where he needed to be. After a tour and him spending one trial day there, I was sold! This was the best decision I've made! My son's first teacher here, Miss Della, was absolutely AMAZING. She loved him as much as I do, and seeing how excited he was to see her even outside of school, made my heart happy. His teacher this year, Miss Joy, is also amazing! Just recently he made the comment "I wish Miss Joy was my mommy too!" I could've taken that personally, but instead I realized just how lucky I am to have such a great teacher for my son. Someone he respects and loves enough to want to be his second mom, is a blessing to have. It feels good knowing that your child is safe and loved at the place they spend so much time outside of the home. The staff is fantastic, any worries or concerns have been communicated between us quickly and efficiently. He has learned more in just this short period of time at this school than he ever would've learned at a normal "daycare" or preschool. They are helping me grown him into a very sweet, smart, caring and compassionate little man! His potential here is limitless. Thank you SO MUCH for being such a great school for our children. ----- Author: Brandon Rating: 5/5 Date: 4/29/2022, 7:59:14 PM Review: My daughter harlyn has been going to capstone for two year.

This place is amazing I tried it once and every time I pass I have to stop and now I'm driving all the way from Baseline road to get my gyro
Capstone has been nothing but great both times we have had our children attend. Friendly and welcoming staff who go above and beyond for the safety of the children. Mrs Orn-Marie is extremely caring and passionate about her students.Thank You Mrs Orn-Marie and the entire Capstone staff for your hard work and dedication.
My son is in ms.Della’s class this year.The last couple of weeks since school started he has learned so much! He is always looking forward to going to her class , I’m amazed at how much he’s learning thank you ms Della!
My son is a preschooler in Mrs. Della's class and this is his first time in a structured learning environment. He has shown a strong interest in reading even attempting to sound out and read words on buildings. He takes initiative during homework and is proud to show me what he knows. Although my kiddo complains that he is sometimes too challenged in Mrs. Della's class he comes out high energy and ready to share what he learns despite dragging his feet some mornings. Capstone has been a great start to his learning career and I'm excited to see him grow. Thanks for what you do Mrs. Della, you really do have the best job!
In the short time that my 2-year-old daughter has been a part of Capstone Academy and Preschool, I have seen a wonderful difference in her early education and it is all thanks to Ms. Martha. I am very happy with how they have treated my daughter and I know that she is in great hands.
We love this school. Our toddler is obsessed with the caring loving team at Capstone especially her teacher Mis Britney. She is an amazing educator and the best teacher anyone could ask for. Our child is in love with her and part of everyday going to school is to reassure our toddler that yes Mis Britney will be there.
Our little girl attends Mrs. Joanne’s class. Mrs. Joanne is so sweet and caring with the kids. My daughter loves to come home and talk about her day and all the fun things the kids have done together. The school does a lot of fun things to keep the kids engaged. Right now they are working on growing a garden, last week was career day for the kids and so many other fun things. If you have questions about your child and how they are doing in school the team will always meet with you and make time to talk about your little one. I love that this school is faith based. It’s hard to find a school these days that really cares about installing great values in your children. Thank you Mrs. Joanne for all you do and making my child feel loved every day . Kendra Just an update to my daughters education experience at Capstone. She has continued to thrive at Capstone and I continue to feel so blessed we have such a fabulous school in Ocala. Mrs. Kerri and Mrs.Joy have been her teachers this year and I feel grateful everyday for them. Mrs. Genesis and Mr. Golden are also always very informative and kind at drop off and pick up. We love Capstone!
Anyone wanting safety, security, discipline and more for their children then I would highly recommend Capstone to everyone just like I did to family and friends. The staff is highly dedicated at their jobs, as they all are especially Mr D, Miss Vanessa and Mr Golden who instead of punishing the child for their misbehavior he would connect with the parents to help boost the child to correct em and help reach their highest accomplishments. I have two older children that I sent to different schools, it was totally opposite. No love and care was shown in those schools as it was in this school so I witnessed and experienced the difference with my own eyes. Like I said highly recommended!!
My daughter has been attending Capstone Academy for 3 years. We love the environment and the teachers. Ms.Della is my daughters current teacher and she provides a very structured, fun learning environment. Ms.Della teaches with so much love and patience. My daughter has learned so much while being in Ms Della's class. We are very grateful to have her as a teachers.
