Impressive curriculum, beautiful school design, and friendly staff. I stopped by with my wife and son in October 2024 for a tour. The manager mentioned a spot should open up within a couple of weeks. Interested in exploring alternatives for my son’s preschool, I agreed to leave a cash deposit to hold our place in line. After three months with no updates, I returned to request a refund. They pointed to fine print stating the deposit was nonrefundable and noted that some parents had been waiting nearly a year. I calmly explained the expectations we were given, but unfortunately, we were brushed off. It’s now April—six months later—and we’re still waiting. My son has nearly aged out, so he won’t be attending. It’s not about the money—it’s about the principle. Next time, I’ll be sure to get clear refund terms in writing.

My son was kicked out for “behavior issues” last week. A letter was sent out basically stating that after COVID 19 good teachers have been hard to find so the ones they have are getting worn out and they can’t afford to lose them. Therefore they can’t accept any children with behavior issues and once three behavior reports are signed child would get kicked out. This is in regard to 2,3,4 year olds! That in itself is crazy because we are talking about children who are barely starting to learn how to deal with their emotions. Also, ADHD,Autism and Adjustment behaviors exist! I am a recently divorced mom of two, In charge of absolutely everything on my own and no family around in Ocala. My kids have been dealing with a lot of changes, and yes they tend to have issues regulating their emotions and it has been difficult for my 3 year old and at the time 5 year old to adjust. My 3 year old son had many weeks where reports were being signed for behaviors he wasn’t doing at home or in public, only in school, for example hitting random kids not in his class with no provocation, which he has never done in public or in Miami with his family members there. In occasions my son by name would tell me kids would hit him but I never got reports of anyone hitting him, I only got reports of him hitting others and at some point I even started to believe my son was the bad kid of the class, the only one hitting everyone because that’s all I was being told constantly but at home or in public his behavior was never that bad it was so confusing! The teachers did not know how to handle a 3 year old and two weeks before kicking my son out one NEW teacher came in and she was the ONLY one to actually tried to help my son but she was only there afternoons. She gave me tips and started to work with my son and I, but they only gave him two weeks to work on his behavior after she came in, only two weeks for a 3 year old! It is disappointing but I guess the letter sent out is meant to excuse everything.

My son was kicked out from here due to "behavior" this being the second semester in, our first year having him attend her things were rough at first but adjusted well to the teachers. Going into the second year, we warned the teachers that there will be an adjustment period for him. During this time, the teachers continued to double down on "bad behavior". In fact, we received more notes back in the first 6 weeks than we ever had in the entire span of the first semester. Our child was diagnosed with ADHD and Autism during this time, we brought this to their attention. Even after his mother witnessing all of the children acting out in the class, it still seemed as though he was singled out. In a room of 4 year olds, what should the ratio be of them being able to express full emotional intelligence? Afterwards it felt like they were reassured and continued to put emphasis against our Childs behavior. This is something that would not result in our child going forsaken within a regular school, but due to this being private it feels like our child is not worth the money given. If the money is not worth our children, I suggest these teachers and staff find a new profession. Kinderoo was the wrong choice for us, we recommend doing deeper research. Please note -- this review is a reflection of how we felt putting our child through Kinderoo. No response from the owner will be disregarding OUR feelings as parents here. Thank you for your time reading. Teachers background: Teachers were swapped twice since August, leaving no room for consistency among the children as a whole within the classroom. 3 different teachers leaves absolutely zero room for pattern recognition within children.
