Author: Alina Young Rating: 5/5 Date: 7/25/2024, 2:25:51 PM Review: We love YIA! We were lucky to find them and everything they do is spectacular! They are great in communication, they have awesome staff, programs and equipment. Ms. Stephanie is the sweetest person, so are Ms.Beth and Ms.Bryanna. My baby goes to infant classroom, Ms.Deafa and Ms.Cintia do a great job taking care of all the babies! We receive updates with pictures and videos throughout the day, they have circle time and buggy ride everyday (when it’s not too hot), they have a lot of activities like July 4th parade, glow in the dark art show. My baby has been happy and making friends there. We highly recommend it! ----- Author: Justina Noteboom Rating: 5/5 Date: 7/24/2024, 10:29:51 PM Review: UPDATE! My kid is now in a new class. Terrific Toddler! Since my previous review. They got a new director who is better than ever. Bryanna and her team (Beth/Stephanie) are the best. I still feel the same way about Young Innovators, it’s a great school. Ms Hailee and Ms Jessica are really wonderful. The school is always doing fun things for the kids. Recently they did a full Under the Sea, black light art show that showcased all the kids art from the class that week. I love how they remember the all kids name and I hear them addressing the parents by first names as well. It’s a great personal touch and it really makes my heart happy. Infant Class: Hi parents out here looking for a daycare that you trust with your child for 8 hours a day while you are at work. You have found the right place. As a nervous nelly Mom, I was very anxious to return to work after my first kid and to leave my precious baby with strangers. We toured several daycares, and this one had the best VIBES. I know this not your traditional review but almost a letter to the parent in the same boat I was 6 months ago. We love this place. Mrs Deafa, Mrs. Jessica, Mrs. Cintia, and Ms Jackie from the infant room take such good care of my child. I know when I drop my kid off that they will be loved on and taken care of. They have an app called Procare that they send all the updates (diaper changes, feedings, pictures, videos etc....those pictures and videos will brighten your day for sure) and PBJTV that you can log into as many times as you want. Just wait for that artwork that they will send home! Anyway, if you are in search of a good daycare, in my opinion you have found right one. Love a new Mom.

I did think that because it's the first week they are sending me pictures of my son and keeping me posted because it‚Äôs the first week but as we continue with the school, I am extremely pleased and super happy my son loves it and he‚Äôs having such a fun time. they continue to send me updates on when his diaper is changed. I have full access to see my son whenever I need to from their cameras and they send me an email with the activities of the day. This is an awesome place. My son is safe and he is learning so much. I am truly grateful to you. Thank you very much.. ----- Author: Matt Stolz Rating: 5/5 Date: 9/15/2023, 3:57:05 PM Review: After switching here a few months ago, we can already see a huge positive change in our children's behavior. The staff here has a great mixture of experienced, organized and good hearted people that we feel safe and confident with our children spending our days with. Would recommend this place to all parents! ----- Author: Kailyn Morfe Rating: 5/5 Date: 9/15/2023, 2:00:44 PM Review: Our family loves this facility! We feel so welcomed when we drop off and pickup our daughter. All of the staff and teachers are so hands on and intentional, and we can tell our daughter is truly loved when she is at YIA. The teachers are in constant communication with us through an app, and we can always check in on our daughter throughout the day. We know that she is safe and loved at Young Innovators Academy! ----- Author: Mary Sani Misic Rating: 5/5 Date: 8/4/2023, 4:55:40 PM Review: We fell in love with the school and staff from our very first tour of the school before it opened. Ms. Marnie gave us the tour. She explained the story behind the school and the mission, and we were very impressed. She has a positive energy that reflects in her school and staff. We knew immediately we wanted that for our daughter. Education is very important to us, but so is a positive environment. YIA provides that beyond all expectations. The entire staff has been so kind, patient, caring, genuine, compassionate, and truly innovative with their teachings. Ms. Tityana and Ms. Alexis are so sweet, approachable and helpful anytime you need something. They helped make her transition from another academy so easy. Ms. Cirenidy and Ms. Alexis have been so wonderful with our daughter. They‚Äôve also been helping with potty training and it‚Äôs finally starting to stick because the struggle has been real. She loves them. She feels comfortable and safe with them which is so important because she doesn‚Äôt go to just anyone. She has progressed so much since she started at YIA, even starting to overcome her fear of robots aka our roomba which is a huge accomplishment in our household. üòÇ We get feedback from Ms. Alexis and Ms. Cirenidy almost daily whether it‚Äôs a good day or bad day, and we love that. It helps us know where she stands and what we need to work on at home. Most importantly, our baby loves her school. Overall, we love YIA and are so happy we made the move. ----- Author: Cameron Defranco Rating: 5/5 Date: 8/2/2023, 8:21:37 PM Review: We chose Young Innovators Academy for our 8 month old daughter and we couldn‚Äôt be happier with the experience we have had so far. Friendly staff, enriching activities and a safe place where our baby is being taken great care of. Thank you Young Innovators Academy and a special thanks to Tityana, Deafa and staff for all you do! 10/5 stars if I could.

The teachers are wonderful - patient and caring and meet the kids where they are. The owners and support staff are second to none - they are responsive and caring and actually involved with the children, a rarity in the industry. The teaching and learning style in tYIAs proprietary curriculum encourages critical thinking and active involvement from the children. I can see a positive difference in my kids confidence and technical skills since they started here. We‚Äôre so grateful to have found YIA and plan to stay here until our kids age out. ----- Author: Lauren Morrison Rating: 5/5 Date: 9/15/2023, 1:57:23 PM Review: This is by far one of the best learning centers we have ever sent our kids to. The leadership and staff here have gone out of their way to help us make sure we chose the right facility while relocating from another state and got our kids enrolled seamlessly. They have an absolutely beautiful facility, caring staff, and a pretty sharp curriculum. I am so grateful that they take such care with our kids. ----- Author: Pochacco154 Rating: 5/5 Date: 8/16/2023, 5:35:17 PM Review: Cannot express how much we love this school. Had been touring the area for years and when our sons preschool shut down YIA was barely opening up. My son walked in and love the environment. Had gone to other preschools where we toured and he left one (that shall remain nameless) crying and saying no. The teachers, the staff ( Tityana, Ms Alexis, Erika) are so inviting and warm and you just know your child is going to be taken care of well. Great curriculum, good lunches and caring teachers. ----- Author: MJ Ortuzar Rating: 5/5 Date: 7/27/2023, 2:19:45 PM Review: I love this school, I love the team! The staff is very professional, friendly, communicative. I love that! I also love that there are cameras in every classroom and parents can access to it. That‚Äôs a very important thing for me. They have a curriculum for the kids, schedules‚Ķ it‚Äôs very organized. I love this school! ----- Author: Tyler Avery Rating: 5/5 Date: 6/15/2023, 12:24:21 AM Review: We tried the rest and are happy to have found the best! We had toured the Young Innovators Oveido campus prior to the Winter Garden campus opening and it's clear that this new location is just a great‚Äîif not better‚Äîthan the original. The staff are kind and knowledgeable, and the curriculum and methodology are based on the best research. I cannot recommend YIA highly enough.

Author: Rikesh Amin Rating: 5/5 Date: 6/2/2024, 4:16:11 PM Review: We were forced to find a new preschool for our daughter last summer after an incident at her old one. While all local VPK’s were already full we were lucky to have YIA Winter Garden just open and enrolling. After some growing pains in the first semester, the current admin and VPK teachers are awesome! She loved her teachers and had so much fun with the curriculum. As far as the school, I liked the layout of the enclosed outdoor area with covered playground, gardening section, and fun activities. I liked that there were security cameras if we wanted to see. And lastly liked the convenience of the VPK driving pick up line.

We are extremely unhappy with their VPK extended class. I deeply regret not moving my child in the beginning of the school year when I saw some red flags and have mom guilt over this - now feel stuck since school ends in a few months. These poor kids have had FIVE - yes FIVE teachers since late August. The school just got them a 5th teacher and even moved their classroom. I’ve talked to other mom’s and we are all upset - low test scores showing our kids have not been prepared for kindergarten. I don’t recommend coming here for VPK. It’s been an awful experience for parents and students. I’m looking forward to my child starting kindergarten where they will get consistently.
The best part of my life is knowing that my son is safe, loved, cared for, and is learning. I don't have words enough to thank the school and all staff for all they do and offer to my son.
fun and safe environment for the cuties to enjoy and learn simultaneously
I cannot say enough about YIA Winter Garden! I am so incredibly pleased with the level of care, academic rigor & communication my child and I have enjoyed since joining the YIA family! This is a special place & I am so grateful to have landed here.

Young Innovators Academy in WG is great! The staff is supportive and the environment is nurturing. The director Ms Bryanna is dedicated and truly cares about the students. Highly recommend!
Facilities really organized and clean teachers and staff are very involved happy
I recently had the pleasure of sending my child to Young Innovators in Winter Garden, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. The camp offered a fantastic range of activities that kept my child engaged and excited throughout the entire stay. From arts and crafts to outdoor adventures, each day was filled with new and fun, field trips and challenges. The staff and director were incredibly supportive, attentive, and genuinely cared about the children's well-being. My child came home with new skills, wonderful memories, and a big smile. Young innovators truly exceeded our expectations, and I highly recommend it to any parent looking for a memorable camp experience for their child. Oliver,
I have two children at YIA and I’m so pleased. The new admin staff are amazing. They are caring and listen and take action to make sure our kids are having the best school experience. The teachers in the infant room are unmatched! Great communication and they take great care of my son. My oldest is in the 2/3 room with Ms Ciyah and he absolutely adores her. Also very communicative and loves on my son just like we would at home.
Our children started at Young Innovators when it opened last year. Choosing to enroll our kids here has been one of the best choices we’ve made. The administration and teachers truly care about our kids, and go above and beyond to create a consistent, enriching, caring environment for their students. The teachers at Young Innovators are empowered to think of engaging ways to teach the students the curriculum and principles. They’re equipped intentionally, through extensive training and investment by Young Innovators - and you can tell the impact that it has by the quality of their teaching. And their care and love for the children… it’s unmatched. The administration is outstanding - always available to talk through ways they can support students, consistently and clearly communicating with parents, and actually knowing and caring for the students! I always know that if I have a question or an issue that I have partners to help me through it. There are many daycares that are closer to us and more convenient, but we’ve decided to keep our children at Young Innovators until they age out. We’re so grateful to have found a home in them.
