Loved that we were able to check on our kids via live cameras, Ms. Johanna was always very quick with responding and willing to discuss any questions or concerns, along with Ms. Terri! Also we loved that there was always events/themes for the kids. We only took our daughter out because we moved but we would send her back in a heartbeat. Thank you for all that you and your staff do! ----- Author: Angelica Rodriguez Rating: 1/5 Date: 9/20/2024, 5:35:43 PM Review: Safety Concerns & Poor Organization Posting here since the Facebook page seems to be down. During the enrollment process I had to constantly follow up to receive information. They could not find the updated curriculum or provide me a list of needed materials in a timely manner before my child‚Äôs first day, but were fast to bill the first 2 weeks. Communication needs to be improved. I‚Äôve yet to receive confirmation or response of my withdrawal request email sent back on 7/20/23. Pros: For an extra fee you‚Äôll get access to the Watch Me Grow App which I highly recommend. As a work from home parent I was able to see my child in a live feed. Cons: The watch me grow cameras do not cover the entire classroom, there‚Äôs blind spots. The changing area is covered understandably so. The quality of the video needs improvement. And, I witnessed a staff member repeatedly being too rough with the kids. I felt on call to retrieve my child. A parent should not feel this way. If you don‚Äôt like kids, don‚Äôt be a teacher/caretaker.. Our ultimate dealbreaker to withdraw our child was the way a bite incident was handled. To date, no one has reached out to ask how my child is recovering. This tells me they simply do not care. The day of the incident I received a call stating that my child was OK, but another kid bit him in the face. What were staff members doing when this occurred? The teacher said I‚Äôm sorry and put in the report they make you sign something along the lines of ‚Äúwe‚Äôll watch the kids better‚Äù. Ok, how? The director told me that she could not promise this would not happen again because this is normal kid‚Äòs behavior. I was not reassured that an action plan would be considered to avoid incidents like this to reoccur. Example: We‚Äôll review the feed to investigate what happened to retrain our staff. Or, we will meet with the parent of the aggressor to provide feedback/support to ensure everything is OK in their household, and to ensure the safety of the other children while in attendance. And/or review our teacher to student ratio, etc. Instead, I was told I was on time to withdraw my child so I wouldn‚Äôt get charged the upcoming week. I wonder if they would act the same way if it were their children. We had high hopes for this facility, and while we understand accidents happen it‚Äôs how they are handled that make a difference; maybe we would‚Äòve given them another opportunity. During the withdrawal process, the front desk staff seemed lost on how to complete my request and could not find the paperwork I needed to sign. I ended up signing a different document. ----- Author: Deja McIntyre Rating: 5/5 Date: 4/15/2023, 7:49:49 PM Review: I absolutely love this Ladybird and the teachers in the infant room. I had to return to work when my son was 6 weeks old and I‚Äôm not going to lie I was a mess but they assured me he was in good hands and I knew I could always check on him on the cameras. On top of that they also send me photos of what he does class activities. As a first time mom that doesn‚Äôt have any friends with kids they have taught me things I didn‚Äôt even think about looking into or help me transition into his next stages of life. I was so excited to watch my son grow up in this facility but unfortunately I am being relocated to Texas. I wish I could take this location with me because they have definitely exceeded my expectations of what child care is. Thank you Ladybird Rock Spring for loving my kid as much as I do. If I ever comeback to the Orlando area no matter where I live I will bring my little man back to you guys! ----- Author: Jennifer Vaello Rating: 5/5 Date: 4/15/2023, 12:38:48 AM Review: This school is ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. Sadly today was my daughter's last day but ket me explain and provide some feedback on our experience. To start, I was terrified to put my 2 year daughter in ANY school..after careful consideration, we finally toured..mind you, the school is 45 minutes from our home and work place. Long story short, my husband and I drove a good 3 and 1/2 hours daily to and from this school between drop off and pick up..way too much in tolls and gas (I won't bore you with the details)..but the drive time alone should tell you just how much we loved this school. The cameras they provide to be able to check in on your child provides such a great sense of relief, especially for nervous moms and dads. All of the staff that I encountered on a daily basis were wonderful. Just to name a few, Ms. Jaida, Ms. Bri, Ms. Nadine, Ms. Yahaira, Ms. Terri, Ms. Linda, Ms. Joanna and Ms. Ari (who actually is no longer at lady bird but definitely missed) are absolutely amazing people. They each truly loved my daughter and my husband and I could tell that she was cared for. Ms. Bri and Ms. Nadine were my daughters teachers and they built such a connection with her that she talked about them daily. Between the structured curriculum to the free play, I was impressed by how much my daughter was learning. Ms. Bri has the biggest smile and an energy about her that the children and parents absolutely adore. These ladies that I have mentioned along with all of the other teachers (men and women) including the bus driver make this place a true gem. The only reason we unenrolled my daughter today was because after almost a year of making this drive and spending so much time, gas and tolls, we had to throw in the towel. Another school that was 12 minutes away offered us a spot..so we had to make the very difficult decision and switch schools. It breaks my heart because my daughter has such a close bond with her teachers and classmates but we had to make the switch. To any parent that is considering Ladybird at Rocksprings, I highly recommend them. To all of the ladies and gentlemen that work at this school, we will miss you very much. ü§óü•∞ Keep up the great job.

I absolutely love Ladybird Academy! My kids have been attending since they were 18 months old, and now at three and four years old, I couldn’t be happier with their growth and development. From the moment you walk in, you’re greeted with warmth and professionalism by Ms. Lorena and Ms. Terry at the front desk, setting the tone for the entire school. Every teacher has played a special role in my children’s journey—Ms. Mari, Ms. Liz, Ms. Maribel, Ms. Batia, Ms. Nadine, and even their early teachers like Ms. Patty, Ms. Rachel, Ms. Justice and Ms. Jordan . They are all incredible educators who genuinely care about the children. My kids absolutely adore them! The difference in their education, social skills, and communication since transitioning from a small in-home daycare to Ladybird Academy is remarkable. They’ve learned so much, and I’m beyond grateful for the nurturing environment and high-quality education they receive every day. Thank you, Ladybird Academy—you are truly the best!
Our family has had a wonderful experience at Ladybird. Ms.Paloma, Ms. Sophia, Ms. Nadine, and Ms. Batia have been amazing teachers for both our children.
We have been taking our kids to this Ladybird Academy since they first opened. Mrs. Gena in PreK-B has wonderful this year, we love everyone on staff and always know our kids are well taken care of during the day.
We love Ladybird Rock Springs. My son is currently in Pre-K B with Ms.Gena. She is so patient and caring and you can tell she wants the best for all the kids. She communicates very well with the parents and is always there to answer questions or let us know of any concerns or things that are going well with our son. Our son loves all the staff there and the kids in his classes. Ms. Sophia has also gone out of her way to make the kids feel special and shows how much she cares with all of the interactions I have seen since we started at Ladybird. In fact all the teachers and staff have. We have gone there for the past 2 years and are really happy with that choice.
I love this Ladybird Academy and have been taking my kiddos there since they first opened. All of the teachers and staff have been so kind, caring, and supportive of each student's unique needs. Mrs. Gena in PreK-B has been such a blessing to us, providing support to our child (and us!) and helping our little one navigate challenges and big feelings, showing patience and love to our child through all the ups and downs. Getting to see updates and photos throughout the day is an added bonus and highlight to my day.
I absolutely adore the infant room of this daycare. My son is always clean always fed and growing so fast. Mari is an absolute gem of an human being and one of my son’s favorites. He smiles every time he sees her. The safety and piece of mind I have leaving my son here is unrivaled.
My 1 year old son has attended this Ladybird Academy since he was just 13 weeks old and I truly think this is the best place for him! All of the teachers in the infant room have been so kind, caring, and they love my son! Not only does my son clap and scream in excitement when he sees Mrs. Arelia every morning, he just adores Ms. Mari and Ms. Ananda. The amount of attention, crafts, playtime, reading, and just overall loving care he receives is unmatched. Mrs. Magdala, who is now in the next room up, was one of his first teachers and he still just adores her! Ms Terri runs a tight, but friendly and efficient place, and I am always greeted with kindness from Lorena and Sophia at the front desk in the afternoon. We will be bringing my son here for as long as we possibly can! Best care and worth every single penny!
I can’t possibly put into words how thankful I am to everyone at Lady Bird Academy (Rock Springs) for making my daughter’s first school experience an amazing one. From being greeted at the front each morning with love and kindness to entering into the classroom being greeted with genuine excitement for my daughter’s arrival. Ms. Gigi , Miss Daniella and the whole lady bird crew at this location are truly amazing. I thank them all so very much for such a great experience.
My youngest started here when she was just a few months old after both my wife and I went back to work. My oldest also started the afterschool program around the same time. While my oldest no longer attends my youngest is now in the Grasshoppers class with Miss Rachel, Miss Patty, and Miss Kayla. She absolutely loves being with them each day and walks through the door screaming “good morning Terri” to Ms. Terri at the front desk. The staff is communicative with updates and pictures throughout the day and my daughter’s development both cognitively and socially are clearly evident. So happy with our choice to bring our daughter to Ladybird Rock Springs
Overall, we couldn’t be happier with our experience at Ladybird Academy of Apopka and the Bumblebee class. We highly recommend it to any parent looking for a loving and enriching environment for their little ones! Thank you to the entire staff from the front desk to the classroom teachers for making our child’s time here so special!
