We soon started realizing mistreatment from the Director Shannon. She is not a very nice lady at all even though she puts on that she is. I had concerns about how the children played due to my child being hurt on multiple occasions, we was disregarded. When we tried bringing it up again she sent us out her office! Soon after that incident she stop my husband when dropping off my child to tell him that she would basically unenroll my 2 YEAR OLD if he was late again . We’ve never been late due to my husband work commitments, so that made us question was other families being treated this way too? So I decided to ask other parents and learned that we was not the ONLY ONES. Even learned that employees was being treated improperly as well ! Shannon manipulates families and treats them like were beneath her. Makes me wish I paid for camera access to see how she treated our child . I soon unenrolled her cause our family deserves better & so does other families. If your ever considering a Lady Bird ask who the director is before touring . Beware of Shannon . ----- Author: Evelynda Gardiner Rating: 5/5 Date: 9/15/2022, 4:19:37 AM Review: Ladybird Academy of Ocoee was the right choice for my son and everyday he attends he has a great time and we only signed up in July this year. The cost, security of coming in and out the building, access to my son’s classroom via cameras to watch him at any time and updates sent throughout the day about what and how he ate and diaper changes; I can say I am more than pleased with the service I have been provided! Ms. Sonia is the sweetest lead teacher and truly cares about the kids in her class. I personally, have observed Ms. Sonia teaching my son to color, sing nursey rhythms and doing educational assignments! My son was used as a paper body cut assignment and they decorated it with his outfit that day (so cool to see that displayed in the class!). My son comes home singing “Old McDonald” and the last two weeks his words improved and that is all too Ladybird Academy of Ocoee as I walked in picking him up and the class was singing that song. The teachers are wonderful and patient with the kids. Kids eat on time whether it is snack or lunch, and naptime is always consistent for the two hours. The kids go outside daily unless weather is not permitting, and they have splash pad days in the summer onsite and they sent pictures! I watch the cameras a lot as I work remote but cannot have any distractions or interruptions, so this review is everything I personally observed or experienced when I drop off or pick up my son. This location is wonderful, and Mrs. Shannon is such a nice director and so is her team. The teachers are all professionals and work together to keep the day moving smoothly. I have observed rotating breaks with teachers or teachers supporting one another if they need to step out to the restroom and when I mean support a rotating team member step in, so they are always staffed to support the kids. Personally, this is what I like to see, a village team for all kids so they are successful thru the day! I highly recommend Ladybird of Ocoee, don’t always trust everything you read as most people who write reviews are disgruntled in some way so I hope my review gives a more realistic and positive perspective on this location. ----- Author: Justine McKnight Rating: 1/5 Date: 9/14/2022, 6:00:35 PM Review: My son has been going to this school for only a few months . He first started in the Early twos class which he loved so much that he would be so excited to go to school every morning. All of that excitement changed when my son transitioned into the older twos class . Dropping my son off became a little more sketchy when he would hold me tight/whine during drop offs. That made me worry , so I started paying close attention to the cameras in my sons class to see what was going on throughout the day . And while watching cameras I have seen my son repeatedly get hit with toys/ hands in his face by classmates which I felt was not okay especially if he did not give them a reason to do so . As there are other things that I did not agree with and were against my beliefs . As a concerned mother I have expressed my concerns to the Director Shannon , to only get told that she could not do anything as far as switching his class and that kids play that way (I understand kids are going to be kids but to repeatedly get hit every day at school with no actions from staff or directors , that is not okay . ) She was informed that if there could not be any changes that we would take further actions. So she ignored my concerns and focused on us taking further actions which resulted in her stating that since her school is not a good fit for my son she would part ways with us .So she unenrolled my child at her own pleasure leaving me without childcare for my son . Its sad because God forbid if something severe would have happened to my son face , I feel I would have gotten a better response , but why not stop it before it gets worst!? I will be taking further actions because this is not okay . Months later and the owner is just replying to this review .. however you’re blaming my son for the initiation when the director stated she did not know what date and time my son was hit , as I was monitoring the cameras and had to reach out to the school myself just for no actions from staff . If i knew my son was the cause I wouldnt have made this an issue . ALSO one of your staff members notified me that my son was being hit constantly by students which also lead me to monitor cameras closely . And the only phone call you all received was to take further actions to speak to DCF to take a deeper look into the situation if you all were not to handle the situation yourself, you all took it as a threat because obviously you all are doing something wrong at this location and that’s why you resulted in kicking my son out ! I DO NOT RECOMMEND! My son is in better care ,God bless !

I am reaching out to share some concerns regarding my child’s experience in the Caterpillar Class under Ms Anna supervision. Since my child has been attending , I have noticed a significant change in their behavior, which has raised concerns about the classroom environment. After reviewing classroom footage and observing interactions, I am troubled by what appears to be a lack of engagement and support from Miss Ann. It seems that she struggles to connect with the children in a meaningful way, which is crucial for their development at this stage. Additionally, based on my observations, there have been times when the student-to-teacher ratio does not align with Florida state regulations. As a parent, my priority is ensuring that my child is in a nurturing, well-structured, and developmentally appropriate environment. I would appreciate the opportunity to discuss these concerns further and understand what measures can be taken to improve the classroom experience. Please let me know a convenient time when we can meet or speak.I value the work your team does and want to collaborate in ensuring the best possible experience for all children in the Caterpillar Class. I look forward to your response.
The staff at Lady Bird Academy Ocoee is the best! The entire family went to the VPK prom this past Friday, and we all enjoyed every minute of it! The way each team member worked together to pull this off, was simply amazing!
Happy to choose lady bird academy in Ocoee for vpk for my daughter.She really learn how to write her name,an count.Best decision ever üòÄ. I really recommend this school for anyone that is considering putting their kid in vpk.
I was weary at first about putting my son in this school because of the ratings, but I realized they were all super old. My son has been here since May and now it’s Nov he has excelled at this school. He has a lot of independence is taught to play with others. The staff uses the bright wheel app so I can communicate all day. I also pay so I can watch my son on the app. As a first time mom I DREADED the thought of putting my baby in daycare but I can honestly say this has been a great experience. His last school was also a ladybird but it was far and I felt like the staff wasn’t diverse enough. I don’t speak Spanish so I wasn’t able to communicate with his teachers without someone there to interpret for me which I thought wasn’t a big deal until I didn’t have to do it anymore. Being able to have a personal relationship with your child’s teacher is super important and I can say all the staff I have met so far have been great.
Horrible I enrollment my daughter and she stay for 3 hr and director call saying we need to evaluate my child, 1 teacher 12 student and teacher look like she doesn't even care my child had a wet tee on when I pick he up,horribly experienced for a child who never attend school also don't forget about the cost of the tee $60 for 2
I couldn’t be happier with Ladybird. Both of my sons currently attend and everyone always treats them so well and they are always so happy to go to daycare. All of the faculty and staff always accommodate and are so helpful answering all of me and my wife’s questions. This is our 3rd daycare due to previous ones not feeling like the right fit but Ladybird exceeds all expectations. The children are always doing activities, learning, dancing, playing, working on arts and crafts, and so much more. Other daycares we’ve seen them put up an iPad for the kids to watch which was surprising and this is never the case at Ladybird. The teachers are always actively engaged with all the children. I have 0 complaints and highly recommend this daycare.
My 4 year old son has been going to ladybird for a year and now my 5 month old son has been attending for over a month. LadyBird allows us comfort and piece of mind. Every single faculty member goes above and beyond. I’ve had my children go through 4 rooms total and every teacher has always gone above and beyond. My kids are always so happy to attend school which takes so much guilt off me. Ms. Wendy, Ms. Sherin, Ms. Gissel, Ms. Rashida, all the girls in the infant room, and I could list so many more, all go above and beyond with both our boys. Ms. Shanon the director has always been accommodating at any minute of the day. She’s listened to our concerns anytime they come up. She’s helped find placement for our older son. She’s always available to sit down and answer me and my wife’s list of questions. This is the last semester our children will be attending this daycare (due to VPK and finding time in our schedule to keep our infant home) and we couldn’t be sadder about leaving! This daycare has felt like family. I only have positive feedback for this program and couldn’t be more grateful that I found such a great place to leave my children.
Where do I begin? This place was a great starting point and foundation for our son's start in school. They have a great system filled with communication, visibility, and transparency. Our son has been developing right before our eyes with the help of Ladybird Academy of Ocoee. We thank Shannon for running an outstanding academy and keeping a tight ship. Ms. Penina for being her right-hand woman and giving us such a warm welcome from the first day we set foot in the academy. We also want to thank our son's outstanding teachers, who have also been a huge part of our son's development (Ms. Rashida, Noemi, Rosalind, Keylita, Giselle, Sonjia, Samantha, Yesenia, and Cassie). We are truly going to miss Ladybird Academy of Ocoee. Our son is leaving to seize the opportunity to transition to a Montessori school, a move we feel confident about and is the only reason we would go. Ladybird Academy of Ocoee has prepared him well for this next step, and we are immensely grateful for that. If you're looking and are in the neighborhood, look into this place first; you won't regret it. Thank you, thank you, thank you, Ladybird Academy of Ocoee. We love you!!!
I am so happy we chose Ladybird Academy of Ocoee for VPK Summer School! I was very impressed with the cleanliness of the facilities and all the different beautiful classrooms for the different activities throughout the day. It was such a smooth process to enroll and they have been amazing! Ms Sonya is the sweetest, she really cares for the children and their families and the director Ms Shannon is very friendly and diligent. We don’t live in the area so it was a bit of a drive for us everyday but it was so worth it. I also love that they use the Brightwheel app for updates and pictures throughout the day. My son had the best first summer in Florida. Highly recommend!
My daughter attended Ladybird from 2020 until she graduated to kindergarten. They took excellent care of her, and she adored her teachers. The school administrators were always helpful and approachable whenever we needed to discuss anything.
