Casie Tavares-Stoeckel We’ve been so happy with Kendall Academy in Vero Beach, FL! After moving to Vero Beach nearly two years ago, we were recommended this school by locals, and it has exceeded our expectations. Our toddler has absolutely fallen in love with the school and its amazing teachers. The environment is warm, welcoming, and nurturing. We couldn’t recommend it enough!

Jesus Azpurua As a father, I couldnt be more thrilled with our choice of Kendall Academy Preschool for my daughter. The teachers are incredibly dedicated and truly care about each childs development. The curriculum is engaging and thoughtfully designed, giving my daughter the foundation she needs to succeed. I’m so appreciative of the warm, nurturing environment they’ve created. Highly recommend!

Sophie Calixte As a parent, finding the right daycare for my child was incredibly important, and I couldnt be happier with the services at Kendall Academy. The staff is warm, caring, and attentive to my child’s needs. They provide a safe and stimulating environment, where my little one looks forward to going. I love that the daycare offers a structured yet flexible routine that includes educational activities, outdoor play, and quiet time. My child has made noticeable progress in both social and developmental skills, and I am always updated with detailed reports about their daily activities. The communication between the daycare and parents is consistent, especially with the help of the Procare App. Whenever I have a question or concern, the staff is quick to respond and is always open to feedback weather through the app or in person. The facility is clean, well-organized, and secure, which gives me peace of mind knowing that my child is in good hands. Overall, I am satisfied with Kendall Academy and would recommend it to any parent looking for a reliable, nurturing, and educational daycare center.

Leonidas Beeny Awesome college, staff is super friendly and nice, and for such a small college they have a really good rec room. They also have many places there to study, which is nice.

Michael LeBlanc Worst school I have ever went to and not even attended. For the past year have been passed around trying to get all my paperwork in order. My advisor never calls back. I have voice messages from when I first applied back in 2019 still not responded to. About to give up and go somewhere else. If you dont want your time wasted. Go anywhere else. Devry would be an improvement.

ASAP Goldie Good luck trying to get ahold of anyyyyone at this school. I honestly dont know why they even provide a phone number. What a joke. Thanks for zero help. Id rather drive 30 mins than get anyything done at this location. Rude af people who work there. Exept for matt and the younger white woman who sits next to him. Justt wow is all i can say.

Jerry Streeter Great with kids!!! What you would expect others to treat your child outside of you is amazing!!!! Staff and management So kind friendly and makes you feel like youre Family!! Love the environment as well as the energy everyone shares a special connection with each individual GOD Bless Yall keep up the amazing work!!!❤️

Hope Dominguez My kids have been going here for day care and after school for about 1-3 years. The teachers are amazing, informative and loving. They always communicate and are transparent about everything. I was nervous at first but I am comfortable with their care now. They love it and have made many new friends. Katie and Dawn are always very welcoming. I love the safety measures they have in place and feel super safe with my kids being here. Give them a try if you’re looking for a good place to take your little one, they offer tours to make sure its right for you.

Catherine Johnson I have to say I’m really impressed with this facility. My son has attended World Class Academy- Vero Beach since he was 3 months old and I have NO COMPLAINTS. They provide a clean, safe learning environment for all the kiddos. One of my favorite qualities is that because it’s a smaller facility and not commercialized they’re able to make you feel like family when you walk through their door.

Kristy White My son has been going to this school since he was 2 years old. My son absolutely loves going to school at Christ Church Academy. My son is excelling now as he is in kindergarten. The teachers at CCA treat the children with love and compassion just as if they are their own children. They go over and beyond to make sure he gets the education he needs while keeping a biblical view in mind as well. Mr Gammell, the director, is always so welcoming with a smile and loves the kids. I am so thankful that my son is so loved at the school and is excelling in his education along with learning about Christ. As a parent I always feel welcomed and feel like family. I am so thankful for CCA!

Kelli Mintzer My son has been going to this school since he was 2. We are in our 4th classroom and he has loved it so much! We toured many schools before coming here. Mr. Gammell is so welcoming and helpful. The teachers are amazing and have helped my son not only with school but with life lessons as well. I can never thank them enough!

Alysha Murphy Weve had the pleasure of having our daughter attend Christ Church Academy, and I have been thoroughly impressed by the experience. The atmosphere is incredibly welcoming, and it is evident that the staff genuinely cares about the students well-being and academic growth. The curriculum is well-rounded, integrating strong academic subjects with Christian values, which provided a holistic learning environment. The teachers are passionate and dedicated, always going the extra mile to ensure that each student received the attention and support they needed. The smaller class sizes allowed for more personalized instruction, fostering a nurturing and inclusive community. Additionally, the school offered a variety of extracurricular activities, encouraging students to explore their interests and develop their talents. Overall, Christ Church Academy provides a nurturing and supportive environment that not only focuses on academic excellence but also on character development. It was heartening to see students thrive in such a positive setting, and I would highly recommend this school to any family seeking a quality education grounded in Christian principles.

Judith Picarelli Our family has been a part of the HMA family for many years . I cannot say enough about how wonderful Hope Montessori is. Ms Iliana is by far the most caring person! Her devotion to the children in her care is exemplary. Not only does she care for her students but displays the same level of loving care for her staff and for her students families! You can be assured that your child will be safe and loved! My grandkids have always loved attending HMA. The learning program offers so many opportunities for growth and my grandkids were most suitably prepared for their future learning experiences. HMA provides a great learning foundation. I would emphatically recommend Hope Montessori Academy to anyone in need of child care for your family.

Angela Major Love the atmosphere, all the teachers and the director Mrs. Iliana. Love that is Christ-centered. Would highly recommend this school!

TAVON MARABLE I am extremely disappointed with Hope Montessori School, particularly with how the front office staff handled my childs situation. Less than 24 hours after being notified, I was told that my child could no longer attend the facility. Initially, I was frustrated, but I quickly realized that I wouldn’t want my child in an environment where the educators themselves seem unwilling to accommodate or support them. To be clear, we are not disappointed that we are no longer at this school. What truly disappoints us is how poorly communication was handled. The decision to remove our child was extremely last-minute, and we were given no fair opportunity or sufficient time to address any concerns or make changes to improve the situation for our child. This abrupt decision felt dismissive and left us scrambling to find alternatives. I was completely transparent with the owner about my child’s unique needs before enrolling, and they assured me that the school could handle the situation. However, throughout my child’s brief enrollment—less than 30 days—we received no feedback about his progress unless we specifically asked for it. My wife repeatedly heard complaints from staff about issues with our child, yet none of these concerns were ever brought to us by the director or addressed in a constructive way. A sit-down conversation would have been an appropriate and respectful way to discuss any challenges and work towards a solution. If your child has special needs, this may not be the place for them. Based on our experience, the staff did not appear equipped or willing to provide the support or communication necessary to meet our child’s needs. If the school had reached out to us, we would have gladly collaborated to resolve the issues and improve the situation. Instead, I felt dismissed and unsupported. This led me to wonder whether the lack of effort to find a solution was related to our identity as an African-American family. I cant help but think that if I were of a different background, the situation might have been handled differently—with more understanding and willingness to work together. To make matters worse, when I asked about the deposit we paid, the director informed me it was a non-refundable registration fee. If I had known that my child could be removed from the program with such short notice, no opportunity for dialogue, and such a lack of communication, I would never have invested my time or money into this facility. I hope this review serves as a wake-up call for Hope Montessori School to improve how they communicate with families, handle challenging situations, and provide consistent feedback about a childs progress. Every child deserves an environment where they feel supported, and every family deserves respect and transparency. I added if your child has special needs.This may not be the place for them

The King Family PSA: After 3 failed emails (no responses) and 1 phone call (very unpleasant), this daycare is not accepting infants at this time despite the signage and website. Maybe in the future.

Mr Hyde The owner absolutely loves the children, and its evident in the love the kids show her. Staff is very friendly. The meals that my daughter got for lunch were better than some of the home cooked meals we make at home!!!! Would definitely recommend this preschool to all my friends and family

Kim Germany Love love love this school. All 3 of my children started in the infant room and graduated or will be graduating! The teachers love the children making their days happy and comfortable. Best description is this school is part of our family! Thank you for the love and care you give.

Heather Tritt My son went to bridges from the time he was 4 months old to right before his 1st birthday. The only reason I pulled him is because hed been on a waiting list for another school since he started and was accepted. This is a great school with a great staff. My son was in the infant room with Mrs Maria, Miss Tiffany and several other great teachers. I received picture texts daily, the teachers loved my son and we felt the same way about them. When my son graduates VPK we will reenroll him to aftercare at Bridges!

K Swimlady Blown away with how WELL my 2 and 4 year old are doing at Bridges. Thank you to the caring and professional staff who take care of my children. Added bonus: Bridges serves warm cooked food daily for breakfast, lunch and afternoon snack. When I pick up my kids, they tell me how much they like the food and that they are so full! I can’t say “thank you” enough for taking such good care of my little ones.

Jeremy Cassell Great pre-school and daycare. I brought my oldest there 10 years ago and he has been doing great in school since. I also have my twin boys enrolled in VPK there.

Celina I absolutely love this daycare, the teachers are amazing... they are very hands on and treat my daughter as if she was one of their own. I really enjoy the fact that they are bilingual and teach the kids to understand and comprehend spanish. I would recommend this school to anyone looking for an extended family, a safe place, and hands on loving care!!! Vbp is the best yet! Very trusting and open!

Marina Nicole Amazing preschool my daughter loves it and her teacher Mrs Esther is the best

Anna Chandler My daughter has attended this establishment since she was only 8 weeks old. She is now 4 years old and starting VPK with this school. I am beyond sad that this is our last year here! From day one the staff here has been like our extended family. They love and care for the children as if they are their own sons and daughters. The atmosphere here is always cheerful and happy, the building always clean, and the grounds well maintained. The tuition is affordable and well worth the service provided. Each and every employee I have met, and every teacher my daughter has had throughout the years, takes pride in what they do and that reflects in the children as well. My daughter has learned so much from this school, I know that she will be more than ready for kindergarten next year. Everyone who I have come in contact with here has always been friendly, professional, and courteous. Weve never had any major issues or concerns, but anything small that has come up has always been handled expeditiously and with great care. I cant say enough good things about Vero Beach Preschool! I recommend this place to anybody who is looking for childcare in the area, Ive always felt comfortable leaving my daughter in their hands without any second guesses.

Samantha Lecher VBA has made a huge impact in my family’s homeschool journey. This place was seriously LIFE CHANGING for us. From academic support and certified teachers to field trips and faith! The best part though…that my family feels supported and my kids know that they are loved here!

Shannon Hartley Two of my kids attend here, and it has been amazing. They have made new friends and learned so much already. My kids were learning before but, now they are thriving. I couldnt ask for better teachers to teach them and help guide them on their individual journeys in faith.

nancy dahl This is our first year doing home schooling slash co-op. At first I didnt know what I was doing. But VBA was the best decision for my daughter shes thriving!

Dustin Swann I cannot say enough good things about my childrens experience at Trinity preschool. From the moment we walked in the door, we were greeted with warmth and kindness. The staff is incredibly caring and attentive, and they make a point to create a safe and nurturing environment for all of the children. The curriculum is excellent and is designed to help children learn about God and His love for them. My kids have grown so much in their faith and in their academic skills since starting at this preschool. I would highly recommend this school to any parents looking for a caring, Christ-centered preschool for their children.

Taylor Simm We’re wrapping up our third year as a Trinity family and have loved every minute. The campus is beautiful, the teachers and staff are wonderful and both of our girls have thrived there.

Elizabeth Swann When making the choice to send our daughter to Trinity Episcopal Preschool, like all parents, it was important to know that she would have the best start in life. For us, this meant attending a preschool that invests in their children not only academically but also spiritually. By having our daughter attend this preschool, our family has begun to build a school-family-church relationship, one that grows with our child’s heart and mind by instilling a love for the Lord. In the time she has attended, I have seen her grow by leaps and bounds. Her joy in learning is transparent. At morning drop off she jump out of the car, racing to find her friends. She comes home singing songs from the day’s lesson. Her teachers are warm and welcoming. The staff and leadership have proven to make this school a rich learning environment where students are treated a precious family members.

JesC Amazing school! They have an all-star staff, incredible founders, and an amazing classical style of teaching which has my kids begging us to take them to school everyday! They focus on not just growing the mind, but also the heart and body. My kids classmates are all amazing, they are kind and thoughtful and are all best friends. They get PE and recess everyday, learning to compete with themselves and encourage others. There is no homework, so more time at home to spend with family and being a kid when they get home from school. My wife and I couldn’t be more happy with our decision to send our kids here! Best school in Indian River County!

Marc Jaffe The greatest! Both of my kids spent 3 years here including the summer programs. I am eternally grateful for everything Sandy, Taylor, Allyson, Randy & Randy have done for my boys. They both went from here to imagine South Vero and are ahead of the pack! I would do anything for these people.

Nicole Oliver My son attended this school. The atmosphere is so peaceful. The teachers provide learning techniques distinctively set for each students pace. My son absolutely loved going to school here. My next child will most definitely be attending this school. Thank you so very much Sandy and Taylor for providing such a wonderful environment for my child to grow and learn in!

Jimi Tunstall My grandkids go here and love it!

Aubry Biallo So excited for this new school! There is such an awesome team of teachers that truly love kids. I will be sending my 2 boys here this year, I wouldn’t send them anywhere else!
