She is always clean. They work very well with me on feeding her breast milk, which can be a challenge at daycares. They are so loving and in tune with her needs. The owner and director are present and available to speak with me any time I've needed. The infant teacher is Wonderful!

All of the teachers have positive interactions with the children and they actually redirect the children when it comes to discipline. Many daycares say that without actually knowing how to do it let alone doing it. Also their facility is clean and they have security cameras. I know my daughter is 110% safe ----- Author: Samantha Wilkinson Rating: 5/5 Date: 3/12/2022, 1:05:35 AM Review: My daughter has been going to Elite Academy since July 2020. She absolutely loves the school, her friends and all the staff! My daughter has learned so much and beyond ready to start Kindergarten in August because of Elite!! I am so grateful for this amazing school. I know that she is in safe hands every single day. The staff goes above and beyond to make sure the kids are not only learning, but having fun while doing so. They care for these children as if these kids were their own. I highly recommend Elite Academy!! ----- Author: Kristin Pruitt Rating: 5/5 Date: 3/4/2022, 12:50:41 AM Review: My daughter has been going to elite for her entire life as she is 15 months old she absolutely loves it there ….

My boy was so miserable at his previous daycare that I decided to switch him to Elite Academy. From day one, he told me how happy he was in his new school and how he liked the team. I gave a shy little boy to Elite Academy who once struggled to learn and who used to beg me every morning not to take him to his previous daycare. Elite academy made my boy happy and implemented in him the desire to learn. After two years at Elite, my little boy started kindergarten this year. On our first parent-teacher conference, his kindergarten teacher wanted to know everything about the daycare he came from. She told me me that my son was performing extremely well for kindergarten and his daycare (Elite Academy) prepared him so well. My son scored above 90% of the kids who took the same MAP test as him worldwide at the beginning of kindergarten. Another kid from Elite is in the same school as my son, and she told me how prepared he was also. And she told me " your daycare is really doing a great job with the kids ".To make it short, Elite Academy is THE way to go. I never regretted my decision to choose Elite. Elite provides stellar education. Do not hesitate to choose Elite. Thank you to the staff. If I could give them 10 stars I would. Forever Elite.
‚≠êLOOKING FOR QUALITY CHILD CARE? LOOK NO FURTHER ‚≠ê I SEE AN EX EMPLOYEE AND HER FRIENDS HAVE SKEWED GOOGLE RATING PROCESS, I WOULD NEVER PUT MY CHILDREN IN SUB STANDARD CARE, OR SUGGEST ANYONE ELSE TO DO SO. THIS IS A GREAT DAY CARE. Recently my ex-wife moved to Winter Haven Florida with our 2 children, 2 and 4. üòê It was extremely important that I find a daycare that was safe, cost efficient, clean, and provide the proper social interaction with other children. Elite academy IS THAT PLACE. üòÄ This school has lots of clean rooms, which provides safe distance for our kids during the covid pandemic. I'm also very pleased with the teacher, children ratio. üòä Located in Winter Haven near the hospital, Elite academy, not only provides child care, but curricular based, as well, with a hint of monastery. My children are safe, happy, they are learning, acclimating with the other kids, AND THEY LEARN TO BE INDEPENDENT AND, HELPFUL AT HOME. üôÉThe owner is kind, thorough, is excellent in communicating our childern needs while in her care. ‚≠ê I 100% recommend this school.‚≠ê
Owner is very very rude I see why she always hiring I forgive u I pray u get better amen
My daughter attended for the past year and we are so happy with our experience here! The only reason we are leaving is because she will be coming to my place of work next year with me. The owner and the staff were so kind and caring. They always communicated with me and my husband about any needs or situations regarding my girl. She was happy to walk in every day and blew kisses and said bye to the staff by name when I picked her up. I can tell they truly cared for her and it showed!
Horrible communication, horrible environment Only person there that really was dedicated to kids was Ms Stephanie I would never recommended

Communication 0/10!! Think it twice before put a kid here!
This was my first time placing my son in daycare due to work, for a couple of days he wasn't happy cause all he knew was me, it took him a month to get comfortable to trust his extended family members. Elite Academy is recommended due to security reason, inviting environment, fun activities for the kids, & family friendly. Mrs.Tina is straight up honest & understanding all around. You have to have patience to be in this profession, Elite Academy shows & has that. I've chosen a great daycare for my peace of mind, I‚Äôm glad my baby boy is there. Happy Mama üêª
