Around the World Childrens Center

My daughter attended this school since she was 4. She loved every teacher she had. Any time there was an issue the teachers and office would handle it right away. The office was always very helpful. we will miss everyone here. I know she will especially miss Mrs. Castro she would always do pretty braids when she had free time. She learned a lot during the time she attended this school. She will be back during summer time.

It’s sad to see all the reviews and I question myself why i didn’t read them before… I enrolled my son and took him there for a week only. He just turned three and even though it was a hard decision, we enrolled him. The «teachers» are not professional and they leave the kids unattended. My son is a happy kid. He knows all the letters, numbers, animal names and many songs. He loves to play with kids and sports. He speaks perfectly And He rarely cries.
When he started school all of that changed. After the second day of school, he stopped talking, he was sad and kept crying for everything. He didn’t want to go to sleep and was afraid. I still took him for two more days… Every day when I was going to pick him up, he was by himself seated in a chair… Completely unattended. I was getting to school early… Never saw them doing any activities. I was telling him… Baby say good bye to your teacher… He did and the «teacher» barely looked at him.
I am so disappointed. The school is totally not a good academic place. It is simply a day care center that provides the minimal care to kids. They don’t have appropriate toys and don’t have a schedule for kids. They don’t do any type of projects and are only looking for ways to get your money.

the teacher supply store they opened is great. There is everything a teacher needs for her classroom. it is very big. and ms sandy is a great help. when you are looking for the things you need for your classroom. And she does a great job at laminating. the prices are great. I would recommend this store to all the teachers who are looking for a great store to shop at.

The worst school in the entire planet. I enrolled my son in October and I had to pay 100 for supplies and 65 to enroll plus tuition which was $ 588.75 per month. I took a tour and the school was brand new everything looked great and I thought the price was so high because they really do give you results. Not the case, by December not even 2 months later without notice we were told that our children 2 – 3 year olds could not attend this school since their license got revoked. I called the social worker who revoked the license and she had notified them since November but so that we would not leave they gave us no notice. When I asked for my enrollment fee back they denied it completely. In addition, my son cried every day I left him and was always quiet which was unusual for him being such a happy and friendly kid. I now enrolled him at a new school which despite the school being built a while back and they toys not being all that new my son loves it. He runs to hug his teachers and is always singing he forgets to say bye to me when I drop him off. Also they offer warm breakfast and lunches everyday something that this school never did. The food for breakfast was always Cheerios plain and milk and for lunch it would only be something simple and not on Fridays. If I packed him food it could not be heated up so I had to pack him cold food. Point being this school I will never recommend to anyone ever. Everyday I went we had to donate something for the class and they asked for too much money aside from our tuition. I give them 0 stars.

My daughter was going here but I couldn’t last not even 4 months there. They were giving lunches on Friday’s then they stop and i had to leave work to take lunch to her and go back to work. I paid to much money for her education and care but we still had to provide lunches on Fridays and pay extra meals. She was on a previous day care center and she never been sick until she got there. She was constantly sick. I asked if they sanitize the toys and they said once a month or when they cleaners would do it. I was tired of the uncleanliness they had.
One time i walked in to pick up my daughter and i saw another boy kicking her in the corner and i screamed so hard and got mad at the teachers because they were not watching what all children were doing. when she got kicked in the corner by the boy i put my two week noticed.

Worst school ever!
My son is currently attending a public school, and way behind! I wouldn’t have expected this, since he went to around the world since he was 18weeks until he was 5 He hated it, never understood why, but everyday when I would leave him he would cry!
Now it’s different in his public school. He comes home singing, happy to do his homework, and excited to go back! Never have I once heard my son sing nursery rhymes when he was going to around the world or wanting to go back!
I payed 550 $ a month, never minded because it was for my sons education! But realizing it today I could of found a better school!
Both owners driving new cars and switching cars every year or so! I think this place is just running for the money, but not proving the students the right kind of education! Two fundraiser where mandatory and tuition fee! Parents had to provide students with supply’s! Where was all the money going to!!!

This is kind of difficult to write because our daughter has been with this school since she was 18 months. Our daughters initial teacher was Mrs. Daniela, a loving but stern no nonsense teacher. At first, she even scared me with her European accent but after getting to know her, she is perhaps one of the schools jewels. She loved our daughter and we in turn loved her. Her passion to her kids is bar none! I believe she will be retiring soon which would be a great if not tremendous loss to the school
As our daughter began to grow, she was moved from classroom based on her age, and the teachers, we began to know them all and then things began to change.
Everything was good all the way up until the beginning of the 2013 – 2014 school year. Our initial teacher was Ms Nora, she was great. Our daughter was not in K3, which is transitional kindergarten. Now, I must say, their academics is great, not excellent but better than most. I believe the reason being is that Mrs. Phillipy has stretched herself to thin to be able to manage the schools growth. Although they have a school director, not much autonomy has been given to the director to be able to execute academic standards.
From what I know, the teachers are not allowed to create their own curriculum based on their class needs but rather rely on Mrs Phillipy to give the weekly curriculum to the students. This causes the teachers to be unprepared and unknown to what the weekly student assignments are going to be.
Tragically, I had to pull my daughter out without a two week notice based on the other review above. When my daughter first started my tuition was little close to $ 700. This was ok by me because it worked with our families time frame. They open up as early as 6:30 am and close as late as 6:00 pm. They also give breakfast and lunch, with the exceptions of Fridays, bring your own lunch day, that was not the case before.
Please, if you plan to enroll your child in this school, read the policies and guidelines carefully and hold them to these standards. Hold the school accountable. You are paying good money not just for an overglorified day care but for an environment that is going to teach academics and get your child ready for the private or public school environment.
If you have further questions regarding this school, I’d be more than happy to answer them. i can be reached at

My experience was great, up until this last year. From there, total disappointment.

I just put in our two week’s notice for our 4 year old son.
This place is understaffed, The little staff they have is ok, Teachers are great, unfortunately not treated well. Their schedule is not consistant which can be a problem for the kids as well. Teachers have to provide their own materials, even though the fee is over $ 500 per child per month. The school seems to not manage their finances well because they always ask for «Special Lunch Days» which means a hot dog, chips and drink for an extra $ 2.00 at least once a week. on top of that we are asked (Mandated) to sell cookies as a fund raiser twice a year an extra $ 300 per child!
On top of all this we were told the class sizes were going to be no more than 20 kids per class. The class my son is in, is up to 33!!! this was the straw that broke the cammels back for us! again great teachers streched thin! but the management seems to only have one intrest $$$!!!
