Stacy is simply the best!! We just adore the way she is; both as a person and as an early childhood developmental specialist. I highly recommend Parkland Children’s Academy to all my friends and family in need of responsible and caring children’s preschool services.
Where to Begin..... One of the most amazing schools I‚Äôve ever dealt with (and I‚Äôve dealt with a lot) it‚Äôs been a tough road trying to find a school that excepts children with ( severe autism ) we‚Äôve been kicked out and discriminated on! But when I came across Parklands children academy I was in tears about how I‚Äôve been treated by other schools and they made me feel so at home and like family .... I can‚Äôt express the gratitude for all the love they show my kids and support.... if your looking for a school to trust with your children it‚Äôs them! They‚Äôll treat them like their own and I couldn‚Äôt be more grateful üíú And Danielle the owner and her mom are such Angels üòá Thank you ladies for your services and kind hearts and understanding for my situation ‚ù§Ô∏èüß°üíõüíö
I am leaving this review a bit late, however, due to the feedback I got recently at a PTC (Parent Teacher Conference) for my son, who is in Kindergarten, I wanted to leave a review. The teacher of our son, said that he was exceptionally prepared for Kindergarten and that PCA consistently produces the most prepared students from VPK>K. This is coming from one of the better schools in Broward. I am surprised to see negative reviews about Miss Donna and staff. They are warm, loving people who, when my son and I recently ran into her at a local store (Hobby Lobby) he ran up to her and hugged her and told her he missed her. I cannot say enough about the school and my wife and I are about to have our 2nd child and will enroll them in the "baby school" (as they call it) which is a secondary location right near the main school. 5 stars. FYI, any negative reviews are likely from spoiled "Parkland" people who think way too much of themselves and not enough about their kids education...…
This school is fantastic! I had my kids (2&5) at another daycare in the beginning, then I had friends telling me how amazing Parkland Children's Academy was and how much their kids were learning already, so my husband and I decided to move them over to this school and it was the best decision we could have made! Mrs. Donna and Mrs. Danielle are fantastic to work with in the front and they will walk you through everything they do with the children! My kids have been learning so much and actually get upset when its pickup time!! That was a sign I knew it was the right move. We love this school and everything that our children are learning! Did I mention how clean and organized they are too! If you are looking for a daycare/VPK program, THIS IS YOUR SCHOOL!! We love PCA!!
My daughter has attended Parkland Children's Academy for almost a year now. The teachers and staff are absolutely amazing there. My daughter loves going to school every day. They do so many arts and crafts projects and they are super creative. My daughter started attending at 3 mo old and they were always very on top of her schedule for feedings, naps, diaper changes, medicine, etc. I trust my child with these amazing teachers 100%. My daughter is always happy when I take her to school and happy when I pick her up. I have recommended Parkland Academy to all my friends and some of them attend here also and they absolutely love it.
My wife and I have been taking our daughter to PCA for almost a year now and she absolutely loves it. There are some days where she does not want to leave. The teachers are so amazing with the kids; doing arts and crafts, circle time with music and songs and weekly themes that help them learn and interact with one another. These teachers care for these kids as if they were their own. Any negative review for PCA should not be taken to heart, especially when it comes from someone that was there for all of five minutes. These teachers are amazing. This school is amazing. We have not had one bad experience and highly recommended this school to other parents because we believe in PCA. If you have toured other schools, you will know that PCA raises the bar as far as quality goes. It’s clean, safe and filled with amazing teachers and kids. We love you PCA and we love the amazing infant/toddler room!!
My daughter has been attending PCA for the past four months. I went to several daycares before selecting PCA. First off- the facilities are very clean, secure and the staff is wonderful. She’s my firstborn and I’m overly protective, so I would never leave her in a facility where she’s unhappy. She doesn’t even say bye to myself or her dad when we drop her off because she’s content. She’s well taken care of, happy and learning new things. I was nervous initially and emailed all the time, I always got a response that calmed me down. Plus with the security features, I could always see what’s happening on the cameras. Normally, I don’t write reviews but I’m very disheartened by the disparaging comments below. These are people’s livelihoods & children, so we have to be careful what we post online, especially when it’s assumptions or conclusions drawn (in this case-during a tour )without all the facts. Keep up the good work Dalea, Stacy, Elizabeth & PCA owners!
I completely agree with the other review that this is not a good place for babies. I recently took a tour and the sadness that I saw on those babies was absolutely heartbreaking. The moment I walked in all I could hear were babies crying. There are about 20 older babies with in the first room and not one of them looked happy. They ALL looked very very sad. The care takers all looked miserable too and not one could even pretend to force a smile. Which is probably why the poor babies were so withdrawn. The infant room right next to them had 1 screaming baby in a swing, 1 fussy baby in a bouncer and 2 babies in high chairs. Their faces were covered in food but you could still see the sadness all over. One care taker with these 4 babies that was clearly unhappy and was not capable of handling 4 babies. I can not imagine how these babies must feel to spend their whole day like this! The director needs to do a better job at managing the care takers. If these women don't enjoy being around kids all day they need to find a new line of work. They have no idea how much they are influencing these poor babies at such a critical developmental stage. If the owner reads this, I hope you will reevaluate your facility and the people working there. I would be happy to give you some ideas on how to go about making it better for everyone especially the babies. I didn't see the older kids area so I cannot comment on how that is but I did see some of the kids in passing and they were smiling at least so it could be a different situation but I certainly wouldn't leave my baby there!
