The director MRS.Maria is always very communicative and always working on further developing the schools and the educational Material. MRS.Nino hands down my favorite Teacher there; always communicative and goes above and beyond to make sure the kids are safe and okay! Also, I've seen some of the lunches they provided, looks amazing!! I may need to hire them to cook for me ! ----- Author: Tasha Mendoza Rating: 5/5 Date: 9/19/2024, 2:35:01 PM Review: Sarah Bee is by far one of the greatest childcare centers you could possibly ask for! I have never once had an issue and my son has been attending this school for over 2 years. The staff is always so kind, bubbly, and outstanding! My son comes home jumping happy with a smile on his face everyday saying “I had a GREAT day!”. It truly warms my heart knowing he is safe, protected and loved by the greatest school possible! I highly recommend Sarah Bee Academy to anyone! ----- Author: Sarah Kahn Rating: 5/5 Date: 9/19/2024, 2:13:49 PM Review: I can't even put into words how much I love and appreciate every single staff member at Sarah bee. my Aurora's last day was august 9th and the past 2 years have been the best! Sarah bee's amazing teachers ( Ms. Nino, Ms. Savanh, Ms. Liz to name a few.) my little girl has grown up so much the last 2 years and I could not think of a better place to foster these very important first years of life. I am so thankful for the safe, loving a nurturing environment my little one has had the past few years. I wish we didn't have to leave to start kindergarten! Ms. Maria, the place you have created is beyond amazing! Thank you! I will forever recommend Sarah Bee to ALL who ask where to take their babies because I know, with 100% certainty, they will learn, be loved and protected.

Let me start by saying the girls in the front have always been nice to us - however our Grandson who attends here was bit so hard by another child it broke the skin ( we received a note basically blaming him for not sharing his toy ! What? ) He was also turned away for the whole day for being 3 minutes late which is fine if policy is upheld on both ends (my son did not receive refund for when staff was not there at opening numerous times! )He has also been sick pretty much non stop since attending. Please also read up on Jehovah witnesses before putting your child here as the owner follows this “religion” ****************************************** REPLY In no way once so ever was I discriminating against anyone or anyones religion -try reading again - says please read up on this religion-parents should know that their children are not aloud to celebrate Halloween -they should not be forced to abide by your religion(which seems to discriminate)please spend more time focusing on why children are being bitten (and blamed )and sick so often !

Words cannot express how much we love Sarah Bee and the staff at both locations! After a poor experience at a previous daycare, I was a little nervous about starting at a new child care center, but after a tour with Ms. Maria, and how CLEAN, organized and professional the staff was, I knew this was the best decision for us! From the the balanced, nutritious COOKED meals, to the activities and excellent learning the kids get, there’s no other place my kid would go! We’ll always be Team Bee! 🐝

Absolutely horrible experience with this daycare. We spend $200 a week for our son to go here 2 days 3 days a week MAX! during halloween he wore a shirt that said all tricks no treats and was turned away and could not go to school because of this because there Jahovahs witnesses. Yet they can charge additional fees of 75 for a Christmas concert, however jahovahs don’t celebrate Christmas either, but if there charging for it they sure can. We left it alone. Today, my wife who is a deputy with the sheriffs department was 3 minutes past the cut off time due to her schedule consistently changing my son having a bowel movement right before she had left the house and the extremely long red light on gulf, and when she got there with my son who only goes 2 days a week was turned away because of 3 minutes, my wife who has to work night shift now, cannot go to sleep to rest to protect the citizens because this daycare turned her away over 3 minutes. I will be contacting local news channels. After I called to confront them and tell them we are going a different route they also refused to refund our 200 for the week after they turned him away.. This is how this business treats its families and members. Also forgot to mention all of the times they have been late opening in the morning when I have waited well past opening time for someone to arrive on site. As far as calling in advance, my wife was driving and per Florida law, was not on her phone while driving. In regards to trying to explain the situation we did and the 3 minutes past 9:30 that my wife walked in the door was apparently inexcusable. We were specifically told by the director that because of the owners husband my son was not allowed to celebrate Halloween because of HIS religious views. Sure, Christmas concert was optional, but if you didn’t pay and your child didn’t participate they had to leave the daycare by noon so a parent would need to call off of work to come get there child at noon after paying for the entire week of child care. The director, the assist director and this facility showed no sympathy or compassion to my wife. It was an honest mistake, my son shouldn’t have sat with a poop diaper on the way to the daycare. When she had left she had time to get there before cut off. We have paid on time every time we have never been late and we go 2 days a week. This was absolutely unacceptable on behalf of Sarah bee. Being there at 9:33 does no harm to absolutely anyone other than the parent who now can not sleep before a 3rd shift protecting the county

So it has been a year now since our little girl left for Kindergarten and I must say, I cannot thank Ms. Savanna, Nino and everyone there enough! She can speak Spanish, knows how to make friends and doesn't have issues in elementary school. She even misses her teachers from Sarah Bees. Overall, I am very grateful for this facility!

My daughter attended Sarah Bee Academy for over 2 years and we loved every minute of our time there! They became family to us and were truly helping us raise our daughter, Ms Nino and Ms Savannah poured their heart and soul into preparing our daughter for Kindergarten. At the end of VPK my daughter received the most achievement overall award and I truly give all credit to the staff at Sarah Bee! We miss them dearly!!

We absolutely love Sarah Bee Academy! My daughter has been with this for 2 years and my toddler started about 6 months ago and my kids never cry being dropped off. My son who normally won't go to anyone other than me will literally go to ms.Nino and ms.savanah with arms wide open and the biggest smile on his face. I would recommend then to anyone!

My daughter went to Sarah Bees for 2 years and it was such a great experience. Mis Nino and Mis Savannah treated her just like their own. They follow their rules but will work with you when you reach out to them and explain what’s going on. They have such fun activities for the kids. I love that they are bilingual and teach Spanish to the kids, so important in today’s world! If I ever had another kid that needed to go to daycare I would definitely be coming back.
