Creative Arts Early Learning Academy - Lake Helen, Florida

My daughter loved VPK. Mrs Jodi is such a blessing to this academy. My daughter learned so much in preparation to kindergarten and truly we had a wonderful time at this institution. My daughter is thriving and a big reason is because of creative arts and what they give their students. We miss you and I would recommend this place to any parent looking for a safe and encouraging learning environment! My wife and I also loved the three day a week schedule for one of the classes. That way we had two days for our little girl to be home with us! Can't say enough good things about them!

We enrolled our granddaughter last November when she was turning four because she lives with three adults and did not have many opportunities to play with other children. She loves her school, her teachers, and her friends and looks forward to going to school every day! The staff is phenomenal and so invested in making sure each child is successful and most of all happy. We’re amazed at the curriculum and how much she is learning. There’s always a fun activity going on. Creative Arts Early Learning Academy has exceeded all of our expectations!

The entire staff has been a blessing to my daughter! They have been warm and welcoming since day one. My daughter looks forward to going to school regularly and has learned a great amount during the time she has been attending creative arts. I receive wonderful communication regularly with her teacher which makes me feel grateful and included in how my child is developing while I work.

First off, let me say that they’re very nice people and for the most part, they’re good with older kids. After talking to other parents of children the same age of my son(2) and our own experiences there, I cannot recommend them. There are too many children for the supervisors to handle. They’re not well trained on how to deal with children that are having a difficult time adjusting to the “daycare” structure. They are a good place for VPK with wrap around services definitely, but be prepared to pay more than the average early learning academic center. While searching, I found several schools within a five mile radius with just as much, if not more resources that are also a lower price. As far as personal experience, I have found that they have short patience for a child that needs to be calmed down. I know my child is not the easiest, but once we finally got on the same plan with the school facilitator to help shape our sons attitude better, they gave up as soon as he had his first hiccup. We have moved on to another facility that is less pricey, provides services not offered at Creative Arts, and is much more well managed.

Both my kids went through the program at CAELA and were prepared for kindergarten hands down! My kids grew from babies to kids ready for the big school throughout this program and I truly felt the teachers and director at this center went ABOVE AND BEYOND! The director and teachers always made it feel like a 2nd home to my kids. Couldn’t have asked for a better school!

Worst daycare i know of hands down. I am not sure who the woman sitting at the front desk is with the brown short hair, but she needs to not work any where near children or customers. She had an attitude about my son on a daily basis. Every time i saw her she snubbed at me about my son and how she will only give him until this time to get potty trained down to a T. I dont care what any day care says, you cant rush any baby or toddler into anything until they become ready on their own with guidance. I totally sympathize with the other 2 bad reviews on them. I can tell you why they kicked my son out, because they are LAZY!! He is behind on potty training, he isnt ready. She called me at work to tell me my son had an accident and they dont have any spare clothes to give him and he didnt have any in his backpack and that i needed to come get him asap. ARE YOU KIDDING ME? This is not how you run a daycare!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
They dont want to have to work. They also write him up almost everyday for spitting. Not the type of spitting that adults do. The type of raspberries that is sometimes cute, that toddlers and babies do.... These people are idiots, all of them and im actually really glad my son doesnt go to this place anymore, they dont treat children the way they should be treated. Like i said, whoever is in charge of making decisions in this daycare needs to quit. This is advice coming from a mother.

Just admit you don’t understand the importance of stability and learning in regards to children. Period.

Creative Arts Learning Academy is so much more than a daycare center. My child is well prepared for his school life because of the education and nurturing that he has received at Creative Arts. The Facilities are clean and secure and the staff is always friendly and willing to help. I would recommend Creative Arts to anyone looking for a great child care environment.
