The inclusion and variety of cultures that surround iLingo is one of the biggest plus for my daughter's future. Of course there are things to improve, for example food, which is more a general and cultural problem than a specific one. Something that makes me feel safe is the front desk restriction for everyone. Living where we live and thinking about safety, more is always better. ----- Author: Marco Tartaglia Rating: 5/5 Date: 5/12/2022, 1:51:28 PM Review: 100%. The best school in Orlando!

Author: Lake Nona Rating: 1/5 Date: 11/3/2024, 4:40:04 PM Review: Beware! This daycare is super Type-A not only to students but also to parents. If you like that, then give them five stars. Go to their required, obnoxious orientation before you enroll your kids. You’ll get a great example of what it will be like going there. They even scold parents there and talk down to you. Very rude. They still act like Covid is running rampant by not letting parents inside the building, making kids take off and change their shoes. It is really odd to me that you cannot go to the classrooms. What are they hiding? The administration threatens to charge you if you are late dropping off your kids in the morning. They are not flexible at all. They come off as rude to parents so I can just imagine what the kids think. I had a child enrolled there and it scarred them. They learned nothing except their inflexible rules which are hard for most kids to stick to at this age. They focused more on my kid following each type-A rule than teaching them a curriculum. My child is at another daycare in Lake Nona and it is MUCH MUCH better. Check out the other daycares in the area that have more resources. ----- Author: Elena Rating: 5/5 Date: 9/4/2024, 5:02:37 AM Review: I highly recommend iLingo Academy to any parent searching for the best preschool in the area. Before discovering iLingo through a colleague, I toured many reputable preschools, but none stood out like iLingo. From the moment I stepped inside for a tour of iLingo, I had a gut feeling that this was the right and perfect place for my child's early education. Now, nearly two years after my initial tour, both my experience as a parent and my child’s experience at iLingo have confirmed that I made the right decision. The curriculum at iLingo is excellent, and the organization, safety measures, and superb communication are all top-notch. However, what truly sets iLingo apart is the amazing people who work there. The teachers and staff go above and beyond to ensure that children succeed not only academically but also in developing crucial life skills. Day by day, I have seen my child learn, grow, develop, flourish, and be genuinely excited about school. My child expresses excitement to go to school every day and returns home with new knowledge in various areas, and that is thanks to iLingo’s caring and safe environment, surrounded by people who genuinely care about children. To summarize it - we love iLingo and as a parent, I give my unequivocal recommendation for this school. I cannot express enough gratitude to all the teachers and staff at iLingo. Your kindness, honesty, and continuous efforts for improvement are deeply appreciated. Thank you all for your hard work and your unwavering commitment to excellence. ----- Author: Shanti Raju Rating: 5/5 Date: 8/30/2024, 2:30:45 PM Review: From our very first visit to iLingo Academy, we knew it was the perfect place for our daughter's early education. The vibrant and welcoming atmosphere made her—and us—feel right at home. Now, nearly a year into her journey in the 2-school program, the growth and joy we've seen in her are beyond what we could have imagined. The teachers at iLingo are exceptional. Their dedication and passion for teaching young minds shine through in every interaction. They have nurtured not only her academic skills but also her social and emotional development. Our daughter comes home full of stories about her adventures in learning, the friends she’s made, and the new ideas that excite her imagination. The curriculum is thoughtfully designed to engage young learners at all levels and encourages them to explore their interests. The classrooms are bright and stimulating, perfectly set up to foster an environment of learning and discovery. One of the most remarkable aspects has been the school’s commitment to celebrating diversity and fostering an inclusive environment. They truly uphold the values that are important to us, and it’s evident in the respect and kindness that children show to one another. As a parent, there’s no greater joy than seeing your child excited to go to school each day. iLingo Academy has given us that joy tenfold. We are incredibly grateful to the staff and teachers for making this school year so wonderful and look forward to what the future holds at iLingo. Thank you, iLingo, for making our daughter's experience in 2-school not just educational but truly joyful! ----- Author: Melody Bostic Brown Rating: 2/5 Date: 10/29/2023, 12:05:21 AM Review: We made the decision to switch schools and enroll our child at iLingo’s VPK to expose her to other languages. Overall, our VPK experience was very much business/ client — we didn’t feel a sense of warmth or community from administrators as we had at her previous preschool. As for the curriculum, it was so-so… not that we were expecting our 4 year-old to be fluent in other languages, but honestly she learned the same counting to 10 and other key words in Spanish at her previous preschool… which did not position itself as having foreign language learning. Our iLingo experience also didn’t provide enough emphasis on the basics such as English alphabet, numbers, sight words, etc. to support us in knowing which areas to focus on to help her prep for kindergarten. While she entered kindergarten having many of the basics needed— this was the result of our independent work with her and previous preschool as opposed to emphasizing/partnering with iLingo’s VPK curriculum. ----- Author: Marylin Ramirez Rating: 5/5 Date: 8/27/2023, 11:52:06 PM Review: I can’t say enough about this school. Both of my children have attended and the curriculum is by far the best in the area. My children are learning and having fun! Management runs a tight ship which I certainly have come to appreciate. I come from a dual language background and I can not stress how important that is for my children to begin the process of learning another language at this age.

So as an Entertainer who goes in hundreds of preschools and daycares, I was absolutely Blown Away by iLingo. They are so clean, there's security is on point, their pickup and drop off is really efficient. I just can't say enough good things. As a parent you don't get to see what I get to see. I am wallpaper to these people so they don't change their behavior when I'm around. They definitely change their behavior when the parent is around. In other day cares it is not uncommon at all for me to see instructors grabbing the kids by their arms and yelling at them and just be condescending. At ilingo i see love and caring and understanding from everyone.

iLingo Academy has been an incredible experience for my family and children. To the safety of the school, caring and loving staff and teachers and the outstanding dedication and involvement from the owners I could go on and on. I recommend this school 100%, give them a try and I’m sure that without a doubt you will love it as much as my family and kids love it.

We did not even allow our child the opportunity to attend this school due to the large number of poor reviews we received from local families of current and former students at this location. After orientation and seeing the lack of organization of the front office, along with the pompous attitude exhibited by the owners during said orientation, I reached out to other moms in the area who have been to the school and they all said "the teachers were okay but the owners drove me nuts and the office is disorganized". These reviews left much to be desired of a private school in the area. Once our nanny found out we enrolled at this school, she also advised against it due to 2 current students' parents trying to desperately get them into another school. Even when touring other schools in the area, they had no positive remarks that they from other parents about iLingo.
