Author: Sara Cromer Rating: 5/5 Date: 2/28/2025, 3:21:35 PM Review: We are so lucky to have found Children's University for our two little ones. We are new to the area and toured many local daycares. Children's University stood out head and shoulders above the rest. First off, the school is beautiful. It is clear that a lot of love goes into maintaining the school's happy, bright, and safe environment. More importantly, the care that is given to the students is exceptional. The teachers are very hands on and have taken the time to actually get to know the kids in their classrooms. They are so kind and very, very patient. Drop off is a breeze because our kids are excited to see their teachers and friends every morning and the teachers do a great job keeping us informed about what is happening throughout the day. The director and staff are equally wonderful. They are very involved in each classroom, quick to respond to questions or concerns, and truly care about their students and the community (they hold wonderful community events and do a lot of community outreach - something we really appreciate). Our children are currently in rooms 303 and 101 and they are thriving and learning so much. We love to see the projects they bring home and look forward to reading their end-of-day reports to see what they learned. It's always difficult to be away from your kids and it can be hard to find a place that you trust to keep them safe and feel comfortable. We found that in Children's University. ----- Author: Dominique Rodriguez Rating: 5/5 Date: 2/27/2025, 11:44:06 PM Review: Our family has two children at this school. The staff know our children by name and our babies enjoy going. They tell us about their day at pick up and sing all the Spanish songs taught by Ms. Ruth. Ms. Autumn and Ms. Haleigh in 201 are the BEST! They both are passionate about the two year olds in the classroom. They work so well with our little one. They are extremely nurturing and communicate so well with our family about our child’s needs. We truly feel at ease while our baby is under their care. He has learned so much and has friends! Love 201! Ms. Wendy supports the afternoon little ones and she provides care as if she is caring for her own child. We have a child in 403 in the VPK room and although there have been some transitions of teachers, I can’t explain how thankful our family is for Ms. Dolores. When we drop off our child each morning she is greeted and given a journal entry to complete. She is reading sight words, knows numbers, about where she lives, etc and Ms. Dolores is exceptional and truly is preparing 403 for Kindergarten! Our family adores Ms. Dolores and we are thankful for her commitment to our child. The school is super safe! What attracted me most as a parent was the safety and security. The front staff are always helpful and available to answer questions and handle any concerns within a timely manner. The school and all staff are very professional and we are thankful for each person who works with our children. It doesn’t go unnoticed. ----- Author: Thelma Bernal Rating: 5/5 Date: 2/27/2025, 2:49:03 AM Review: My daughter attends CU and as a parent, I am so glad we picked a safe place where we feel cared for. Her teachers in 203, Ms. Savanna and Ms. Kelly, are amazing. They make learning fun while keeping a safe environment for the kids. My daughter felt comfortable in a short period of time and is growing in many ways day by day (academically, socially, emotionally, and developmentally). We deeply thank everyone who makes CU such a great school! ----- Author: Michelle Remy Rating: 5/5 Date: 2/24/2025, 8:10:18 PM Review: My daughter is in 302 Ms. Briana and Ms. Thelma's class. They always greet her with a smile and you can see how much the kids love them. My daughter talks about her teachers and classmates even when she's at home. She loves learning Spanish and sign language. She enjoys going to school here and always has a good day. I know she is well cared for and safe. ----- Author: Korbyn Moyer Rating: 5/5 Date: 2/10/2025, 2:47:50 PM Review: Miss.Alycha in 102 has taught two of my children now and she is an absolute gem. The comfort my children feel in her care is unmatched and as a working mom knowing my littles are cared for and genuinely enjoy their time there is priceless. Another phenomenal teacher is Miss .savanna in 203. Her nature is so calming and it’s the only reason my child enjoys that class. She truly lets each child be themselves and comes to them on their terms . She will sit with an individual child and make sure they feel safe with her. Very happy with this school and how my children respond to it . ----- Author: Paz Valle Rating: 5/5 Date: 2/10/2025, 2:40:07 PM Review: My son is currently is room 302 and he loves his school and teachers. He has learned so much this school year. As a parent is very comforting to know your child feels safe, and enjoys the time being there. Ms Briana, and Ms. Thelma always welcome each child with a smile. Classroom is always clean, organize, and kids are constantly engaged in different activities. 100% recommended this daycare/preschool. ----- Author: Diana Morales Rating: 5/5 Date: 2/6/2025, 11:45:33 PM Review: Children’s University Daycare in Port St. Lucie is truly an amazing place for kids! The teachers are wonderful—they genuinely care about the children and create a warm, nurturing environment. They are incredibly sweet, patient, and dedicated to making sure each child feels safe and happy. The daycare itself is very clean, well-organized, and beautifully designed, making it a comfortable and inviting space for little ones. The entire staff is friendly, professional, and always attentive to the children’s needs. One of the standout qualities of this daycare is the excellent communication between teachers, the principal, and parents. They keep parents informed and involved, which creates a strong sense of trust and community. My son is in Room 401, and I can’t say enough great things about his teachers—they are simply amazing! And my son loves them specially Mr P….I highly recommend Children’s University Daycare to any parent looking for a safe, loving, and well-managed place for their child. ----- Author: Victor Calvillo Rating: 5/5 Date: 2/28/2024, 3:45:09 PM Review: Mrs Millie Classroom 202 I am very grateful for your loving care you give my son. It’s a very good feeling when I drop off my son and he looks more than happy to be there. I appreciate your hard work and time you give him. I am at ease through my time at work knowing he is being taken care of the way I would take care of him and also being in a safe place. Thank you so much for everything! ----- Author: Claude Roger Jeanniton Rating: 5/5 Date: 2/9/2024, 2:44:07 AM Review: Children’s University is a great school. I am grateful for all the effort they have put into keeping the school safe. The staff is always kind and helpful. I am especially grateful for Ms. Tonya from room 303. She has been an amazing teacher to my son. She truly cares about her students, and always addresses our concerns and questions. She creates a fun and engaging learning environment for the kids. This school comes highly recommended. ----- Author: Lauren Chalmers Rating: 5/5 Date: 2/6/2024, 8:40:48 PM Review: I am absolutely thrilled to share my glowing review of the exceptional daycare and the outstanding teachers, Katelyn and Tonya of classroom 303 and Jasmyn and Adriana of classroom 104. As a parent, finding a safe and nurturing environment for my child is of paramount importance to me, and I can confidently say that our experience at this daycare has surpassed all expectations. From the moment we walked through the doors, we were greeted with warmth and genuine care. The facility itself is well-maintained, clean, and fully equipped to cater to the developmental needs of children. It is clear that a lot of thought and effort have gone into creating an environment that is stimulating, educational, and fun. Now, let me tell you about Katelyn, Tonya, Jasmyn, and Adriana- four remarkable educators who have become an integral part of my child's journey. These teachers are simply outstanding; they possess not only an immense amount of knowledge and expertise but also an undeniable passion for their work. It is evident in the way they interact with the children, leading by example and showing immense patience, kindness, and understanding. Katelyn, Tonya, Jasmyn, and Adriana create a classroom atmosphere that is brimming with positivity and enthusiasm. They foster a sense of belonging and acceptance, allowing each child to develop their unique talents and skills. Through play-based learning, hands-on activities, and creative projects, they go above and beyond in ensuring that every child receives ample opportunities to explore, grow, and flourish. What impresses me most about Katelyn, Tonya, Jasmyn, and Adriana is their exceptional ability to tailor their teaching methods to meet the individual needs of each child. They take the time to understand their students' strengths, weaknesses, and interests, using this knowledge to create personalized learning plans. Their dedication extends beyond the classroom as well, as they actively communicate with parents, providing regular updates on progress and offering valuable insights. Furthermore, the daycare as a whole fosters a strong sense of community and parental involvement. Regular parent-teacher meetings, open communication channels, and exciting events provide ample opportunities for parents to actively engage in their child's learning journey. In conclusion, I am incredibly grateful to have found this exceptional daycare and the incredible teachers that work with my children as well as the director, Brandi, and all of the supporting staff. Their passion, dedication, and unwavering commitment to providing an exceptional early childhood education experience make this establishment truly exceptional. I wholeheartedly recommend this daycare to any parent who is seeking a safe, loving, and enriching environment for their child. Kudos to the entire team for their outstanding work!

Author: Katie Parada Rating: 5/5 Date: 1/3/2024, 10:09:07 PM Review: We love Children’s University! Our child has learned and developed so much from their curriculum. We are also very satisfied with the communication of staff and appreciate the cleanliness of the facility. Definitely recommend! ----- Author: Lindsay Lopez Rating: 1/5 Date: 12/29/2023, 1:27:17 PM Review: We did our second tour at Children's University…. Which was anything but impressive. They put on a great visual presenation but their “curriculum” is great a place if you just need a babysitter. Our first visit we did during nap time so all was wonderful except any question I asked they did not have an answer for. Went for a second tour during their 10:30am tour. The class we were looking into was the 1 year old room. As we apprioached the 2 adults were sitting on the floor talking to each other while the children were blanklessly staring at an iPad. I asked what they were doing I was told they were doing “music and movement” AKA watching Ms. Rachel doing doing farm animal sounds (all while being told it had to do with their winter theme). I asked how much screen time they receive then was told none till I mentioned Ms. Rachel was literally playing. Don't get me wrong Ms. Rachel can definitely be incorporated into music and movemment but it would be helpful if the children had some sort of music instrument, a song playing, and the adults actually moving and interacting with the students instead of sitting around talking to each other. They also said that Ms. Rachel is part of their language curriculum. I was then informed that their Spanish class is on the iPad too… I requested a schedule of class routines (for the second time) and was told that they don't have one…. I can stream Ms. Rachel at home for free and not for $255/week. When asked about their sensory integration activities it was a VERY broad answer and the answers were not age appropriate for a 1 year old. I am a speech and language therapist with sensory integration training, I do have a high understanding of sensory integration play. The program on the outside looks like an amazing program but once you ask specific questions you get met with blank stares…. ----- Author: Tia Trotta Rating: 5/5 Date: 9/7/2023, 2:09:12 AM Review: My two year old son loves going to school here. We are so happy that we found this school and made the switch. The curriculum, cleanliness, director, communication, and the rest of the staff are absolutely amazing. We also cannot say enough good things about his teacher, Ms Tonya! Thank you Children’s University! ----- Author: Stephen Cochran Rating: 5/5 Date: 11/21/2022, 12:01:52 AM Review: I have 5 kids and have taken them to numerous daycares and Children’s University is by far the best. We love Children’s university. My son has been at CU for close to a year now. He is learning so much from the curriculum they teach him. He loves his teachers and the rest of the staff at CU. They are very professional and loving with the kids there. ----- Author: Amanda Pacheco Rating: 3/5 Date: 11/11/2022, 3:01:44 PM Review: If you do not bring your child to there curriculum based childcare by 9am they will send your child home. I have three children and never have I experienced this rule. They will let you know it is your fault for not knowing this because it says “Must be here by 9” in the handbook. They didn’t fail to write the $1 a minute charge if you pick up your child after six. Teachers are very sweet but there really is no code of conduct and you will have to suffer the consequences of that. One minute the teachers sign in the students the next minute lady at the front is telling you it’s your responsibility “it’s in the handbook”. My daughter has attended that school for three weeks and the first time she was 18 mins late. So this week is her third week and my daughter went to school for two days because this hurricane came. On Friday this week which was Veterans Day and school ends at 12 I brought my daughter in 2 MINS after nine accidentally so she can be with her piers and get out. They gave me a hard time and I just left with my daughter because the stress over two minutes was not worth it for me even if I paid the full price $190 for that week. I think parents should definitely be aware of this rule first thing especially if they do not make accommodations on there pricing for such rules.

Our son started this week and I don’t know if it’s luck or just what seems more individualized attention to the children but he hasn’t cried at all at drop off and he’s always happy when we pick him up. Both of his teachers seem very caring and Ms. Santana is super sweet. Coming from another school, we thought the transition would be harder but it’s been easy so far.

We started our son at children’s University this summer after him only being home with us. We thought it was going to be a very difficult transition. We were so happy to have Miss Savannah as his teacher. She is kind, patient and loving and made our son feel comfortable while he was away from home for the first time. She also made us feel the same. The school is clean and well organized.

Our daughter has been at this place for the past 5 months and has enjoyed her journey as well as she has learned and developed a lot ever since she started. Ms. Savanna and Ms. Kelly have done so much not only for our daughter but the equal treatment, care and education they do for all of the kids. Would strongly recommend this institution and shout out to room 203. Thanks for your all your hard work and please keep it up.
