My First Years Preschool

My First Years Preschool has an open door policy.
We have been commended by the DCF supervisors about our CLEAN ENVIRONMENT INSIDE AND OUT. We follow the Creative Curriculum and it is applied in every CLASS AT THEIR OWN LEVEL throughout the school year. We are proud of the academic PROGRESS of our children which can be seen with the results of our VPK students by scoring one of the highest points in all preschools in the area. Our children start learning from day one at their own level. Our teachers are all Certified. We would not be able to operate without proper certifications. This is a requirement by DCF in order to operate a preschool. Our Playground is big, has lots of shade and preschool appropriate mulch. The smallest children like to dig in the woodchips and may get dirty but they are washed in the sinks located in each classroom right after. In spite of our continued effort to spray inside and out to get rid of all insects and bugs once a month; we are in Florida and some bugs are resilient such as aunts and sometimes very seldom there might be a bug bite on a child. Our rooms, toys tables etc. are disinfected and cleaned every evening. Our floors are treated every other month to maintain a shiny appearance. Sometimes, there might be a parent just like in any other preschool, who is unhappy regardless of everyone’s efforts. Our mission is to help our community by providing a well-​rounded environment through a clean, healthy, and safe and age appropriate education to the children who are entrusted to us.

While the teachers at this school are very kind they are not certified. The school is lacking in cleanliness. The curriculum is lacking in educating. The playground is cramped and small. My child got bit a few times and had horrible rashes for days. If you want to pick up your child with dirt under their finger nails, in their ears, and on their face this place is for you. They don’t practice hand washing here. It bothered my that while the teacher was changing diapers in the bathroom she allowed for other kids to be in there watching. Just not a sanitary place you want your child to be– At least not me. The only plus to this school is seeing my child come home with art work every day.
