Top Rated 15 Schools in West Palm Beach, FL - A Guide for Parents and Students

Jackie Yong Palm Beach Atlantic University is a welcoming community that embraces Christians from diverse backgrounds. The university is committed to providing high-quality education while fostering spiritual growth and personal development. I’m grateful to be part of such a supportive environment. Like any institution, PBA isnt perfect, but there are safe spaces for open dialogue and meaningful conversations about change. The campus is also in a fantastic location—with easy access to world-class performances at the Kravis Center and Society of the Four Arts, as well as the nearby beach for those who value connecting with nature and caring for their mental well-being.

Jennifer Lachmund My daughter just completed her freshman year at Palm Beach Atlantic University. To try to convey the experience would be difficult. It was all we could have hoped for and more. She was a little girl driving by and spoke about going to the "God college," and we never knew if this was within reach. She first started in 6th grade with a Greek-themed summer camp, which she loved. Then, through the incredible PBA Childrens Theater, she ended up learning more about the school and experiencing it firsthand. The love, discipline, and direction that the students experience in that program are bar none. In theater, they say the audience will often criticize or conversely say: "better than Broadway." Well, under the talent she has been exposed to, there were shows produced that literally were. I have been to plenty of both. This is all with a gentle touch of Gods love throughout. So, when she was able to go to PBA for her college, it was like a dream come true. City life is so much fun; you can walk and surf at the famous Palm Beach beach, but that is nothing compared to the theater department. The students actually get real-life skills that, in one year, I am so impressed, I think all students should experience. The students are led into leadership skills, public speaking, teamwork, rigorous academics alongside a full nighttime theater program and all the expectations. It is not for the faint of heart, but for those passionate, the talent coming from the professors and support team is unmatched. My daughter also has been on campus for her Humanities courses, etc. Those too helped her continue her love for history and participation. She is in an improv club and has now become President. The family-type atmosphere is also something special. The academics are appropriate for advanced degrees. I am a history instructor with over 26 years of experience. I am impressed with the level of expectation; it sets them up for long-term success. Her friends are like family and her best friend she grew up with is in the Honors/psychology program. These are all strong students that take academics seriously.

Ranstone My home away from home, my Hogwarts for Florida-man, my sanctuary! My heart will always belong here. Go Sailfish!

Marc Eddy Its a convenient place to learn.The staff is very attentive , friendly,courteous and helpful.

Bob Dylan Worst place ever to go to I work 40+ hours a week and go to school at night time they won’t let me go inside because I forgot my ID they tried to charge me for a temporary ID what school will not let you go in there when you’re in rolled in it all they have to do is look up. The name comes up with my picture and let me in with a temporary ID. Instead, they try to make money off of you. Worst rules in place ever I would not recommend anybody go to the school. All they want is money.

Dee My little one went to this daycare for VPK. Overall it was a very good experience. The director is professional. The staff is caring. Ms Heyleen and Ms Cookie were fantastic.

Julia Atwater I cannot give the Learning Experience a higher recommendation! We were referred by friends who also had a wonderful experience. From Day 1, the team has been nothing short of stellar. Our daughter began at TLE at three months, and she is nine months old now. Her caregivers are so loving, attentive and on top of her needs. Our daughter truly brims with joy when she sees Ms. Erika, Ms. Cookie, and Ms. Latisha; they are like family. They have also taught us so much as first-time parents; I can’t imagine not having TLE as a resource. We love that the school has an app and they share photos through the day, keeping us updated on feeding and changing schedules, as well as any supplies we need to bring in. She is developing so fast and learning so many new skills every day, all thanks to her wonderful caretakers. TLE also has countless activities for holidays throughout the year that are so fun for our daughter and that build a sense of community. The school has a tight security system which makes me confident that our daughter is safe. Ms. Monica, the business manager, knows every child’s name and keeps all of the wheels turning; she’s so organized and helpful with anything that we need. I also love that TLE is a franchise… they have corporate guidelines they follow for the healthy and safety of the children, and it feels like there’s a level of oversight that you don’t always find with other small mom-and-pop daycare centers. You won’t regret sending your children to TLE West Palm!

Kurt Pessa A Truly Exceptional Place for Children to Learn and Grow We’ve been with The Learning Experience in West Palm Beach for several years now, and I can confidently say it has been one of the most supportive, nurturing, and impactful environments for my son. He started there when he was just under a year and a half, and now, at over four years old, I’ve seen firsthand how much love, care, and dedication this team pours into their students. During a period when we moved away, I enrolled him in a different location of the same school—but the experience simply wasn’t the same. The transition was tough, and the growth we had seen slowed down. That’s when I realized that the West Palm Beach location, with its incredible staff and leadership, was truly special. Monica, the center director, and the entire team of teachers (Ms Yudeisy, Ruth, Erika, Alejandra, Sahyli, Ms K, Te’Nay, and ones i missed) , have gone above and beyond in caring for my son. He has faced developmental delays and can, at times, be more challenging than other children—but they’ve embraced him wholeheartedly. Their patience, compassion, and individualized attention have not only helped him grow academically but also emotionally and socially. He’s made friends, developed confidence, and found a place where he is truly understood and supported. Even though we now live farther away, we continue to drive through the challenging I-95 traffic just so he can be in this environment—because I know he’s in the right place. It’s a sacrifice that’s more than worth it for the peace of mind I get knowing my son is in safe, caring, and loving hands while I work. I can’t thank Monica and the entire team enough. The Learning Experience West Palm Beach has made a lasting impact on our lives, and I wholeheartedly recommend them to any parent looking for a daycare that truly sees and nurtures each child for who they are.

S. C. Have had nothing but issues with this school. Relayed my issues multiple times and nothing is done. None of the teachers in the lower ages speak English which is super concerning despite being told multiple times that they will be taking classes for English (it’s been 4 years and they still don’t). They are constantly closed on non-federal holidays so you have to take time off of work on those days (even though there’s no discount in the rates when they are closed). I can walk in at any time in the afternoon and my 2 year old will be watching cocomelon (which is not allowed in our home). This place is a mess and I do NOT recommend.

Franciska Brisma I love this school, not only it’s closer to home but the teachers and oh my God miss Ana and Ms. Daisy are amazing as well. The communication there is excellent among the parents and they are very understanding as well. My daughter when I pick her up from school she’s always excited and whenever we go out and she sees a “heart shape” she’s like “mommy, this is corazon” lol which makes me smile. So thank you all for your hard work and dedication to my child.

yeni tamayo My daughter has been at this daycare for over a year, and I have to say that I am more than pleased and grateful for the time she spent there. Her time at the daycare has come to an end as she is transitioning to Kindergarten, but it will always hold a special place in our hearts as her first school. She had an exceptional team that taught her the academic part of the program and supported her emotional development, which is essential for her overall well-being. The staff always prioritized her learning, emotional well-being, and safety, which were the key concerns for us as parents. I will continue to use their services when needed. Thank you for everything you have done.

Татьяна Олейник My daughter dreams of going to this school. And we went to an open house. We really liked everything. Everything was perfectly organized, accessible and interesting.

Bun Turner This school has given me so many good memories. Dreyfoos is a huge school and the teachers are super fun and loving. You will make so many friends and so many connections, keep in contact with your favorite teachers because they will help you out as much as they can in the future! I really miss Dreyfoos and the whole atmosphere of the school spirit. This school is completely different from other public schools. It was an honor to graduate from this school. Take advantage of your resources while you can, because this school has ALL of the resources and connections. :)

Tim Le Great school with awesome teachers and students!

Samantha Crouch We have been incredibly blessed to have both of our children attend PBCA in the preschool over the past 4 years. I cannot speak highly enough of the teachers, administration, and security. Year after year, my children are well cared for and loved on. They are greeted each day with a smile and a hug and I have full confidence that my children are being left in the best hands possible. The teachers are always very respectful and timely with letting me know about any concerns in the classroom. This year, my son has had a harder time with behavior due to transitions that our family is experiencing. His teachers have done a phenomenal job of communicating with me as well as the administration. They have been incredibly supportive and encouraging in setting up a plan with our family to help him thrive while maintaining his dignity and self-worth. They understand a childs development and that they need guidance and support to learn the appropriate ways to handle emotions and behaviors. It been It is truly a pleasure to partner with them in taking care of my childs well-being.

Emily Hitchcock My boys are in the infant and toddler program. What a gift PBCA is to our family. There’s nothing like watching your kids light up when they see their teachers in the morning and ASK to go to school on a Saturday. I know they are loved and supported all day and I’m so thankful.

Andrea Dacosta I love PBCA, its teachers and staff. This will be my daughters third year there and I feel blessed and safe knowing she is well taken care of, and my daughter really loves going there. Thank you PBCA!

Sonia Cortes Beautiful building. Helpful staff.

Ayhem Ayoub Very Informing.

Tara Pitts-Johnson Love this Place!

Brian Quincy Robinson This is the West Palm Beach daycare we stayed with, after attending at least 6 others. - Great staff, kids have been happy, Big trees in the large play area (to shade the kids), and an easy spot to reach the Turnpike or 95. …All 3x of our kids will have spent time here, before pre-K.

Bebe Jay Honestly, I have no complaints. My 3 Year old and 1 Year old have been attending for a Months now and seems to love the School. The school’s funding provides Breakfast and snacks. It is the PARENT’s job to pack and bring non microwavable food for the child and thats not bad at all. Will update review if needed

LaAntwanette Cooper My 4 year old absolutely LOVES “her school”. The ladies are super professional! The teacher Ms Monica is really great with the kids and she cares. I love the fact that I can pack her lunch and I know what she eats rather it’s cold or warm. I can also add the center is always clean! Love it !!

Sandra Lopez anton I love to go there

Ventisha Bezos prioritizes diversity, equity, and inclusion in all aspects of our program model. This school builds positive relationships with families and over pour love and compassion. The child is always first here.

Cynthia Pagan Bezos Academy is such a wonderful Montessori Pre-school. The environment is welcoming and calm! Every time I step in the staff are always engaged and you can see the children are eager to learn and complete their tasks.

Tori Murphy We attended the Boca location and transferred to this location and absolutely love it. Staff are warm and welcoming and are so intentional with your children. Teachers are personable and notice each child. They hold parenting workshops and host family engagements activities regularly to create this special community. Classrooms are absolutely beautiful, the admin team have spared no expense at creating beautiful and mindful classrooms, indoor activity space and offices.

Natalia Mccarthy Great food!! Very nice workers!

BigMoneyPat Anderson Man this was a crazy school in the 90s. Matlock Academy lol

Rosa Bassa Good
