Vanessa Merizalde I am so blessed and feel very grateful since i have chosen this school for my little boy. He will be happily graduating this year and my little girl will be attending soon and i must say that Ms.Melissa has always gone above and beyond whenever i have had any questions or concerns and she is always so kind and super supportive and sweet.

He feels happy, nurtured, loved, and safe. And that means everything to me. My heart goes to the staff and school and i truly have nothing but positive things to say. I highly recommend this school. Beautiful, nurturing environment and i cannot express the high level of respect that i always receive. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Jessica Gonzalez The staff is amazing!!! They are SO warm, welcoming, and very accommodating. I have always felt hesitant when it comes to daycare/childcare and soon after meeting the Director and having the tour of the daycare, I was sold! My 20 month old walks in without even looking back at me - that says a lot! I would strongly recommend to anyone seeking a great daycare. :)

Anel Tuyebayeva I highly recommend Boca Raton Preschool! My family has had an incredible experience with this school. Both of my daughters attended the VPK program here and thrived under the care and guidance of the talented teachers and staff. Now, my 3-year-old son is enrolled here, and he absolutely loves it! The teachers are warm, nurturing, and create a safe and engaging environment that fosters learning and growth. The schools curriculum is well-rounded, and Ive seen my children develop essential skills in literacy, numeracy, socialization, and emotional intelligence. If youre looking for a trustworthy, reputable, and nurturing daycare and preschool, look no further! Boca Raton preschool is an exceptional choice, and I feel grateful to have found such a wonderful place for my children to grow and thrive. Rating: 5/5 stars

Oriana Bautista We are so grateful for the love, care, and attention Ms. Jacinda and Ms. Yanet give our 3-year-old son. It’s clear they truly care about their students and create a warm, nurturing environment where he feels safe, happy, and excited to learn. We’ve seen such beautiful growth in his communication, confidence, and social skills since joining their class. We also want to thank the entire school staff for being so kind, supportive, and involved. It’s clear that everyone works together to create a positive and loving space for the children, and we truly appreciate all the care and effort that goes into each day.

Brooke Greenbaum My daughter has been going there for over a year now, shes 3. Teachers are amazing. Absolutely love their program with the immersion Art, Music,Theater/ Dance (Ballet) taught by a professional ballet dance studio owned instructor and they put on beautiful performance shows with the children. Ive met the owner and she is the kindest . Id recommend this school (10/10.

Nicole We are incredibly grateful for the wonderful experience our child has had at Boca Lyons Academy. The environment is nurturing and engaging, providing a perfect balance of learning and play. A special mention goes to Ms. Vikki, whose dedication and passion for teaching are truly remarkable. She goes above and beyond to ensure that each child feels valued and supported. Her innovative teaching and genuine care have greatly contributed to our child’s growth and love for learning. Thank you, Ms. Vikki and the entire team at Boca Lyons Academy, for creating such a positive and enriching atmosphere. We couldn’t be happier with our decision to enroll our child here!

robert larosa My son is very happy to be a member of the slam Boca Giants. He is actually more comfortable in that setting and he says the teachers explained to him thoroughly what needs to be done and if he needs help, they will help him. Thank you.

Juliana Cataldo The school was good the first year I sent my daughters there. They respected parents and students, communication and staffs were good. The principal at the time was very good. After he left, the quality of both the academics and the staff began to decline. It went from bad to worse, and they became very unprofessional. I was thinking of leaving my daughters there for another year because it is a small school. I thought it would be safer and there would be fewer problems. However, there are problems that are too serious to ignore. What happened November 01 in biology class is criminal, to say the least. The teacher tried to put something on the screen for the class to watch, and with the computer already connected to the screen, pornography appeared. She removed it and tried again, and it appeared a second time. This shows the lack of preparation of both the school and the teachers at SLAM. What leads an adult teacher who knows about the existence of this type of material on the internet and that some websites, especially illegal ones, show obscene things, to put them directly on the screen with the risk of students seeing them? Remembering that students are minors. Doesnt the school have a rule to be followed regarding reliable websites to be used? I am outraged! This cannot happen in a school! I have always valued the integrity of my daughters; I believe that, like many parents, I value that they never have contact with this type of material and they saw this in a slam class! There is also the fact that certain images and videos are traumatic for adults, imagine for teenagers who have never seen anything like this before? Not every child is prepared to see certain things; it can be very traumatic. I sent an email to the school, I contacted Palm Beach County who replied that unfortunately they would not be able to help me because despite the seriousness of the situation, the slam is not under the county, they have their own board and resolve the situations that occur there as they see fit. They also informed me that they are the ones who decide on academic matters as well, this explains a lot about the way things are resolved there and also the decline in teaching and quality of the school in general. They replied to my email saying that they would investigate just as they have always done in so many other cases that happened there with me and also with other mothers that I know. In light of all this, I decided to take my daughters out of there, because for me the situation that happened is very serious!

Sivanischal Mylam SLAM Boca is an excellent school that provides a unique and personalized educational experience. One of its standout features is the smaller student population, which allows for more individualized attention from teachers and staff. This creates an environment where students arent just numbers; theyre known and supported personally. The school also offers plenty of opportunities for students to grow academically, athletically, and creatively. Whether its through engaging classes, extracurricular activities, or career-focused programs, SLAM Boca encourages every student to reach their full potential. The dedicated faculty and administration are committed to fostering an inclusive and inspiring learning environment. If youre looking for a school that prioritizes student success and offers a close-knit community where students can thrive, SLAM Boca is a fantastic choice!

Tirzah Ventura One of the BEST daycares my 2 yr old has been in. The classes are disciplined, all the teachers in this facility are all amazing. Each week theres a schedule that needs to be followed and the kids learn so much. I highly recommend this daycare/school. Mrs. Grecia will go above and beyond for these kids.

Sara Trindade The school is great in all aspects. Staff is very caring, knows kids by name (even staff I never seen, knows my daughters name), very professional and helpful. All instructors are great, but I would like to mention Ms. Nadia because she’s my daughter’s instructor and who’s she’s been with for most part. Ms. Nadia is very professional, have the carisma to deal with children, she’s loving but knows how to set limits with these little ones. My daughter learns so much with her that I keep track of how much she already knows. The school is very clean, organized and safe.

Rose Aparecida Araujo Without a doubt the best daycare, my 3 year old son really likes it. He goes to school excitedly every day. Thank you very much for the care you have for my son.

Susan Labuda - Reiter Weve been a Grandview family for 11-years now with all four of our children attending. They have all thrived as individuals pursuing their passions and growing into responsible members of the community. The GPS team knows each of our children so well and works with us as parents to ensure that were in alignment on both academic and life skills goals, which translates to a well-balanced school experience where they can also participate in other activities, travel, and family-time. GPS is more than just a school. Its a community that knows and supports one another. We absolutely love Grandview!

Selina Andersson We love this school. Both my sons started this year and the sense of community is amazing! Everyone is so kind and involved. All the staff knows each kid by name and greets them every time. The parents are included and welcomed. My kids love going to school, love their friends and are learning so much. I can’t wait until my daughter is old enough to start their 3s program. We’re so happy so far and have nothing but positive things to say.

Bianca Weintraub Grandview has become a home away from home for our kids and our family. I appreciate how much my kids learn, but in a way that is not high stress or high pressure. There is lots of play and fun incorporated into their learning, and the kids are still given space to be kids. Homework is optional, which is not only a huge weight off everyone’s shoulders, but not being forced makes my kids actually WANT to do their homework. I appreciate the small class sizes and tight knit community. There are tons of fun community events each month that give the whole family opportunities to get involved, connect with the community, and develop a closeness to the place where our kids spend so much of their time. We love it at Grandview :)

Petra B My son attends St Luke and he is very happy. If you have any doubts like we all have when it comes to finding the right school, i am writing this to let you know that choosing St Luke will give you the piece of mind we need when we drop our kids off. Teachers, facilities are all wonderful. Thank you St Luke.

Dasha Pincus I highly recommend this school! The environment is amazing, classes are a great size with ratios, and the director Miss Gina is like no other! Compassionate, understanding, loving, hands on is how I describe the entire staff at this school. My son loves his teachers and classmates and I know he is well taken care of.

Christine Salib St Luke Academy is a wonderful place for kids to learn and grow in every way possible! Classes are beautiful, clean, and well organized. This is a safe, encouraging environment for your kids to be in school. It’s a place for your kids to experience love and care by the staff to help support them as they advance in their intellect.

Steve Harrison Great school and even better staff. All teachers and supervisors are always on top of everything and are very organized. The school is clean and kids always seem happy, especially my own. If you have children there is no better place to put them in.

Anna KS We absolutely love Early Learning Academy! Wonderful school! Great teachers and staff. Loving and caring learning environment. Lots of great activities for the kids. My son is enjoying his time there. We couldn’t be happier!

Orlando Williams My son enjoys this school. He loves his teacher (Ms. Tish) and the warm loving learning environment that this school provides. Hes constantly learning new things and hes being properly prepared for kindergarten. He also enjoys Pizza Fridays! Thanks for all you do!

Jamie Kaiser My older daughter attended Miss Fran’s starting in the twos class up until VPK! I cannot speak highly enough about all things related to Miss Fran’s ELC! After VPK my daughter’s new school recommended her to be placed into a first grade class skipping kindergarten all together and she truly thrived and will be moving into second now! I credit a lot of this to the amazing staff at Miss Fran’s and their teaching abilities! If you’re looking for a preschool that will actually teach your young kids and not just play all day Miss Fran’s is the way to go! Had our family not moved up to Wellington our younger daughter would be enrolled there in a heartbeat! We miss you all at Miss Fran’s!

Kelly (Kelly) I cant say enough positive things about Miss Frans. My daughter has attended since she was 2, and she is now 5 and about to begin Kindergarten. Every teacher she has had has been nothing short of amazing. Miss Fran is also a very involved director, who is always there to provide guidance and support. My daughter has thrived academically, socially, and emotionally. Because of the outstanding care that Miss Frans has provided, I am confident that my daughter will be very successful in elementary school. We are so sad to leave, which is a testament to the schools reputation. I highly recommend Miss Frans Early Learning Center for your childs education.

Zac Trider Absolutely love Miss Fran and her school. Our kids went there from when they were little little all the way through VPK. They regularly do activities and fun things while making sure to teach the kids what they need to be ready for the next step. Our daughter left already knowing how to do math and read at a level much higher than her age. We definitely recommend it for anyone looking for an happy safe environment for their kids. Miss Fran is there daily and all the kids love her!

Jamie Bree We couldn’t be happier with Fuller Academy! The teachers and staff genuinely care about the students, creating a warm and supportive learning environment. Our child has grown academically and personally, and we are so grateful for the dedication of the entire school community. Highly recommend it!

Zinenko Olga (Olga) I am delighted to share my wonderful experience with the new preschool at Fuller Center, recently opened at the Mae Volen Senior Center. The staffs warmth and genuine care create a welcoming environment for children. A special shoutout to Ms. Cidney (I hope I wrote her name correct), whose exceptional care and love for the kids shine through in every interaction. Her dedication is truly remarkable, and its evident that she creates an environment where children can thrive and learn. The Fuller Centers new preschool not only exceeds expectations but also provides a nurturing and inspiring space for our childrens growth and development.

Kaye Hamilton-Smith I love this place! The teachers are wonderful! They love the kids and help them get ready for KG. I am continually amazed how one teacher can control 18 kids better than one Mom can control one kid in Starbucks!

VLanda Consulting One of the best schools in South Florida. This little school enjoys a great reputation. At Le Petite Prince, they take very seriously a childs safety and over all well-being, without compromising on a high-quality education. At this school, you will find the children always engaged in various educational activities. Even playtime has the underlining objective to instill into little minds a sense of cooperation, team work and the building block for leadership and critical thinking. The schools director is phenomenal, and she’s truly committed to creating an educational impact. Le Petit Prince is on par with some of the best schools in France. I highly recommend this gem of a school.

Jianlan Sheng This is the best school with such caring and professional staff ! Our girls love going to school and coming home with big smile everyday. Your kids are in good hands . We drive about 1 hour from Jupiter to here everyday for the education. Sophie, Gary and Laura are all first class human being you will meet !

Gretchen Raineau Amazing school with the most caring and creative teachers and staff. Both of my boys have attended and we could not be happier. The extracurricular activities available, the PTA involvement, the cute shows the children put on-all go above and beyond what I could ever have imagined. We will forever love LPP.

Misty Cortes we LOVE PLAY SCHOOL :) wish we could go here year after year but sadly we’ll have to move on to kindergarten next year. Mrs Chandler and the team are so caring and passionate about learning. The conscious discipline method they use is a game changer for pre-k aged kids and parents, that gives us tools we’ll be able to use for the rest of our lives. So thankful to have been recommended this school and will recommend to any one i know with littles. Thank you Play School!

N P Loved the PLAY School! My son was very happy at his PreK with Mrs. B. It was the only VPK I found that was 3 full days (MWF). It worked absolutely perfect with our schedule because it gave us time to do other extracurricular activities on Tuesdays and Thursdays. My son loved coming here!

Kate Cortizo I have two boys in VPK at The PLAY School this year and it’s been a wonderful experience. We attended a more traditional preschool in east Boca last year, and when comparing the two experiences, the difference is night and day. Last year, my 3 and 4 year old were sitting down doing worksheets and didn’t enjoy school at all. We often had lots of tears in the mornings and even had to pick up early a few times because they were upset. This year, they are excited to go to school and we haven’t had to fight them once! They really enjoy the play based learning, and it’s obvious they are learning and growing a lot more with this style of teaching. Their teachers Ms. Jen and Ms. B seem to be gifted, loving and experienced. We’ve met some really nice, down to earth families and are excited to continue at The PLAY School for kindergarten enrichment next year. If you have active children, or need the educational experience to be more personalized to your child’s unique needs than a typical cookie cutter approach, The PLAY School will be an excellent choice.

Antonella P Both of my kids attend Advent (1st and preschool) and are thriving. They love going to school. The teachers and staff are amazing and I know my kids are in the best hands. We are blessed to be a part of the Advent family.

Stephanie Speer Excellent school! My daughter has been here since tot time and now she is in first grade. My other daughter will be starting the infant room soon. We want to stay until 8th grade. Education is Excellent, teachers and admin are loving and professional, and it is just an overall positive Christian environment. There are so many great ways for parents to be involved as well too. It feels like a family here. My daughter is soooo happy there. Best school ever!

Barbara Choy ECS is a school that loves the children and their families. The Teachers are caring and very passionate about teaching the children about Jesus. ECS is the Best Preschool in Palm Beach County.

Laura Gales We loved Childrens House Montessori (north campus). It was the perfect transition for my son who had been at home with me until he was 3 yo. The teachers and staff are caring literally learning every childs name and needs/interests. My son loved being in Ms. Anas class and all of the Montessori activities. Plus they helped potty train him when the time came. We were do happy with our year at childrens house.

Amanda Petrucco This is such an incredible school that goes beyond the educational needs of children and becomes family. I cannot express how wonderful Ms. Lisa and all the teachers are when it comes to educating and inspiring our children to grow and learn. My oldest daughter flourished in this environment and completed her kindergarten year. Unfortunately, due to relocating out of state, my second daughter was not able to complete her kindergarten year but speaks often of Ms. Marissa and Ms. Maria. Without a doubt, this school is top notch and well worth the investment to give my children the foundation of social, emotional, and cognitive development they need!

Melissa Williams Best School out there!!! The best preschool for three to six year olds by far. I had both my sons there throughout their preschool process and I could not be more pleased with their start!!! Everyone there is so warm and loving. Makes the kids excited to start their day. Ms. Lisa is very knowledgeable and extremely helpful. Ms. Siran and Ms. Luz are the best! We will miss this school for years to come. I cannot say enough great things about this school and I would recommend to anyone wanting their kids to have the best start possible.

Craig Haley I have several of my martial arts students that attend this school and their parents rave about it. I have visited the school and the staff is very nice and the campus is very clean. I have nothing but positive things to say about the school!

Rose R My daughter attended this school from Headstart to 8th grade, awesome school, the faculty and staff cares about their students. I recommend this school 1000%

Connie S. This is lab school. lottery for 1-8 grade. Have to pass a test AccuPlacer to be eligible for a chance to get accepted to high school program. This school get you a chance to get your college and high school diploma together if you are willing to work hard. Love this school.

Aline B School is Great, Teachers and Staff are Amazing very welcoming and the Montessori Style is been perfect for us. My Daughter loves every one there. Highly Recommend!!

Christie V Awesome school, awesome teachers! We moved away recently and the one thing we miss the most is this school! tuition free, great curriculum, and the teachers really care about the kids. They keep you updated through an app & have regular events for the kids and parents. My son went to another preschool in Coconut Creek before this and he hated it, he would cry almost every morning at drop off. I found out it was because they let the kids watch TV all day, there was no learning (Get Smart Preschool + they charged us $800 a month, to not even teach our kids, what a joke.) Then we found out about Bezos Academy and got our son in. Best decision ever. Shout out to Ms Natalie, Ms Damaris, Ms Francesca, Ms Cythia- Killian misses you all!

Carol Cirolli-Quinones They absolute best daycare. The women are exceptional. Kind, caring and well-educated.
