Author: Nicole G Rating: 5/5 Date: 2/14/2025, 8:44:44 PM Review: We have been part of this wonderful preschool and after-school program for over five years, and during this time, we've built lasting relationships with so many fantastic staff members. Ms. Amy, who started as a teacher for my oldest daughter, has become especially close to our family. She is now the after-school director, and we truly appreciate her dedication to our children. My youngest daughter is currently in Ms. Nova’s class, and if she could, she would gladly take Nova home with her every day! Ms. Nova’s nurturing approach has made a huge difference in my daughter’s development. When my youngest started, I was so worried, but Ms.Nova reassured me and worked with both me and my child to make sure she felt safe, and I felt comfortable. You don’t see that very often, and it meant the world to me as a parent. Ms. Moss’s leadership skills and her ability to connect with the children on their level have been invaluable. She has a natural way of engaging with the kids that makes them feel seen and supported. Ms. Brenda, another after-school teacher, has always been wonderful with my girls. Her warmth and care for them have made such a positive impact. We also look forward to saying goodbye to Mr. Miller at the end of the day. The kids love him and always enjoy waving goodbye. And Ms. Tori, who greets us every morning with a smile, is always helpful and ready to make the mornings easier for us. Ms. King, who collects the weekly tuition, has always been efficient and friendly, making the process smooth and simple. Most importantly, this is a safe and nurturing environment, and as a mother, that’s why I make the sacrifices to ensure my children attend here. The staff’s commitment to safety, care, and support is why we have stayed for so many years. We are so grateful for all the staff and the positive, welcoming environment they’ve created for our children. They have all contributed to a wonderful experience for our family! ----- Author: Robyn Broxton Rating: 5/5 Date: 7/3/2024, 9:43:17 PM Review: I have had my two girls at a few different childcare facilities in Gainesville and they were highly reviewed. Well, this was the first facility that has checked all the boxes. Great communication, consistency in classroom schedule and teachers, even afternoon teachers are consistent and equally good with informing parents of the child’s day. My favorite part, their patience, flexibility, and understanding that no two children are the same and their willingness to be patient and get down to the child’s level if they are having an off day and or need that additional affection. I have never had a facility remember my name, husband, and both grandparents names within 1-2 days of meeting us. They make you feel safe from drop off to pick up. The director, she is a rare and wonderful find as she genuinely loves her job as it shows in her interactions with the children. Go see it for yourself! You won’t regret choosing this facility. My only regret is not making the switch to midtown sooner! ----- Author: Adrianna Hawkins Rating: 5/5 Date: 2/9/2024, 2:16:12 AM Review: Ms. Brittani in the juniors class is such a kind, vibrant positive energy and makes the kids feel safe just by being around. ----- Author: Amy Griffin Rating: 5/5 Date: 2/8/2024, 3:14:49 AM Review: Tori always goes above and beyond with helping parents and making us feel welcome and students safe. She adores the students and is passionate about her job. Tori is a great human!

Amazing place for kids!! Miss Moss is so naturally good with kids and really encourages a fun learning environment!
I cannot speak highly enough of Moss! She is such a bright light and my kids love spending time with her. They are always excited to come back to see her!! We love this place, especially because of Moss!!!!
Miss moss is the best and most loving caretaker of all time. She always knows exactly what to say to make someone feel better or simply brighten someone’s day.
Moss is so great! She has been nothing but wonderful when speaking with my wife and I, plus our kids love her! Can't recommend O2B Kids Midtown enough because of her. I highly recommend considering this location over others.
I would like to Nominate Mrs. Myrtis and give her a shout out! As a Senior Preschool teacher, her goal is to prepare children for Kindergarten. However, Mrs. Myrtis' love for education pushed her students a lot further. She creates a path to greatness. With my daughter, I can personally attest that she really brought her out of her shell. My daughter is an only child, and during the year, I watched my timid baby become a sharing, playful, and INCLUDED little girl. She even found a best friend. As a parent, this made my heart smile. I could work with ease knowing my daughter was in great hands. On an educational level, Mrs. Myrtis took the skills I had begun at home to a wider scope. My child was recognizing bigger words and expanding her vocabulary well before the end of the year. Lastly, I want to highlight how special she made each child feel. My child felt like Mrs. Myrtis came to work, just to interact with her!My child STILL looks for her around campus. That's how much she impacted my daughter. Mrs. Myrtis exemplifies excellence, and O2B Kids is enriched due to her.
My daughter has been in multiple classrooms since her first began at O2B Kids. The teacher’s that stuck out to me and went above and beyond were Ms.Brittany, Ms. Christina, Ms.Vick, Ms.Elizabeth and Ms.Tiffany. They are all wonderful assets to O2B and I’m so grateful that my daughter got to experience them as teachers. The entire staff is amazing. I will recommend Midtown to anyone with kids!
Ms. Brenda is a wonderful teacher she keeps my daughter engage and excited to learn. My daughter Sarah has have great improvement in her speech and always ready to tell me about her day. Thank you O2B kids and especially Ms. Brenda
Brenda is an amazing teacher! She has dedicated so much time, creativity, and heart into her role at O2B Kids. Not only does she lead the VPK class so well, she has such a great relationship with the families of her students. Let's not forgot how she is a dedicated off-site manager and helps make the city of Gainesville even more purple at football games, gymnastics meets, and so many more. Thank you Ms. Brenda for all that you do! Moss is an amazing school-age counselor! She is creative, patient, and the kids love her. Moss makes afterschool so much fun !! Thank you Moss for all that you do !!
