La Scuola

This school is disgusting and the owner is even worse. Cars get broken into inside the parking lot every few months and the owner refuses to install cameras! Children keep getting hurt inside the classrooms which are absolutely falling apart. Teachers come and go no consistency. Unsafe school do not bring your children here!!!

Owner just robbed all the parents and took deposits.
The owner just had all the parents sign up for fall semester and took everybody’s $ 600 deposits and then announced last night the school is moving in 2 weeks 50 blocks further south into an unsafe part of Goulds. The deposits of course are nonrefundable and it was clearly done like this on purpose so she would have enough money to move (unknowingly funded by the parents who won’t be sending their kids their). Most of the parents are pulling their kids out of school and demanding refunds which she is refusing to give.
Parents are suing.

OMG! I had the exact same experience last year as one reviewer wrote! I LOVED the school and the concept… But I made at least 10 attempts at trying to reach them for follow up questions. I left several voice messages and emails and up to this day I have not received a response! I Twice I actually got someone on the phone but Barbie was not available and the lady who answered said to write an email… I told her I already did and sent another one… still nothing. I said to myself if I am not even enrolled and they won’t communicate with me like we are important what would happen if we do enroll? I decided to enroll my child in Christ Fellowship instead and I am VERY pleased!

I am always surprised by the lack of reviews for this school. I revisit constantly to check for updates since I was considering placing my child here. I did a tour and loved the way the school looked and the Quality Counts ratings along with DCF inspections but days after my tour I emailed the owner, Barbie, more than once asking additional questions and never received a reply. I told a friend to check it out and she said they werent very friendly or knowledgeable over the phone. I was then able to find a review online that stated staff was originally friendly but once you attended, Barbie and her staff were not so easy to get a hold of or speak to. Well it makes sense since I havent received a word from any of my emails. Luckily I am not enrolled yet

I LOVE this school. My children (2 and 4) have been at the school for 2+ years. The teachers are very kind and caring. The curriculum and content the children are taught is wonderful and very hands on! The staff is great and always on top of the children. The owner and director of the school is always on campus and available to speak to when needed. This school is great!

Terrible, dirty, rude. Never put your kids at risk in this disgusting place. I went to this place one summer. The owner looks nice but really she is not. Her kids run the school they run around the school all do never go to class. Always fight and putting other kids in danger, but opening the locked door for strangers. No discipline, rules or respect. Lichen is a disgusting mess. The owner has her elderly parents work in the school for her. The mother works in the kitchen. Which was almost NEVER «clean». Her father I’m not sure what he does he just walks around and stair at the kids and parents. The have live animals (chickens) in the back of the school. Which I thought was kinda interesting, but these wild animal sometime attack the kids and poop everywhere. I 100% hate this place. If you like it you people are extremely stupid and put your kid’s life at risk.

I am in love with this school. It is so hands on and creative. My son has been there since he was 18 months and it’s been an amazing experience. He has learned things in ways that no other school would be able to teach it. Not only do they learn but they have a hands on experience that for young kids it is truly unforgettable. The teachers put so much love into what they do and the kids feed off of that. My son has learned things from life cycles of animals to human body and its functions. He has learned about the importance of taking care of the planet and he has a cooking experience every Friday that ties into that weeks lessons. He is only 4 years old and everyday he amazes me with the knowledge he gets at school. As an added bonus the teachers personally send an email with a journal of the day including pictures so that I don’t miss out on anything special my son does throughout the day. The director/​owner of the school plus her staff has put so much love into the school. I am very happy! :)
