Clean and professional preschool here in Boyton Beach! Staff is very professional and there is ample parking to pickup and drop off your children. Lots of activities for children and they have a really nice playground outside!!

KLA is an amazing school! Terrie (Director) and Denise (Asst. Director) are always available to answer any questions and are very supportive. Miss Gina (class 2B) is loving, caring, thoughtful, and foremost a wonderful educator. She teaches and cares for each of her students as she does her own child. Her smile and upbeat personality brings such a positive energy to her classroom and the children love participating in morning assembly with her. She takes the time to figure out what makes each of her students tick and how to bring out the creativeness in them. Miss Gina also takes time to speak with each parent about any questions they have and provide them with meaningful information to know how your childs day went and how they are tracking towards achieving their development milestones. She has taken our shy boy who wasnt excited about going to school to a confident, happy, more engaged child who loves going to school and interacting with his classmates. I cant thank KLA enough for creating a safe, nurturing, fun place for my son to learn and grow and for making us feel so welcome at the school.

I have two children at KLA - 4 1/5 and 2 years old. My husband and I absolutely love the school, the staff, and the director, Miss Terrie. They are WONDERFUL!! We go to work and have peace of mind knowing that our precious children are in good hands. The location is beautiful and clean.I HIGHLY recommend KLA school of Boynton Beach.Adriana Harris

From the moment I walked into KLA Boynton Beach I knew it was the preschool for my child. After searching for the perfect school for our child I finally found KLA Boynton Beach. The front staff and director greeted our family with open arms. The school is absolutely beautiful and the theory of teaching children is phenomenal. The KLA schools/family has my highest recommendation. Worth just to visit so you can see for yourself!

The absolute worst ‘preschool’ in the area!! Don’t be fooled by it being cosmetically pretty, that’s how they get you! The ‘philosophy’ is a joke, teachers are NOT trained and can care less about your child’s well-being, there is no learning going on, just complete chaos!Teacher turnover is unprecedented!!They are closed far to often (weeks at a timeduring the holidays and plenty of random days sprinkled throughout the year). Definitely NOT worth the price tag (and we had a significant discount)!I would NOT trust Terrie and her staff, especially Ariel (zero compassion and tolerance for small children)!We were there far too long (1&1/2years) I wanted to love it so bad.. but there were too many issues and incidents that were extremely mishandled!!STAY AWAY FROM THIS PLACE! Definitely NOT a place you can trust with your precious little ones!!

Its been a year now since Im taking both of my kids to KLA and I recommended it to all my friends because of many reasons. Not only its a clean environment and the staff is highly educated, they treat every child like if it is their own. Every teacher is loving and caring and you can truly see that they love their profession. Its a very welcoming place for kids to have fun and learn at the same time. Im very happy with the service.

I am so happy with my children at KLA. The school is beautiful and all of the teachers are amazing. I have to completely disagree with the bad review about Miss Ariel. Both of my children have had the privilege of being in Miss Ariels class. She is an amazing, loving teacher and my children came home learning something new everyday.

My daughter has been going to this KLA location since it opened, my husband and I can’t express enough about how happy we are with our decision. Ms.Terrie and her staff have made us feel apart of the KLA family since day one.Mrs. Ariel, the 3yr old teacher, was one of the first teachers my daughter had here at KLA and really turned her around. My daughter would cling to my leg when dropping her off but after attending this class, she wouldn’t stop talking about school and when she gets to go back again. Now my daughter is in VPK with Ms. Dina and Mrs. Ivette, who are also amazing teachers, and she still has to start and end her day by going to visit Mrs. Ariel To give her a hug. We highly recommend this school!

The place is beautiful and clean, Vanessa the 3-year-old classroom teacher assistant is super friendly and kind to all the children. BUT, I cannot say the same thing about Miss Ariel, she is rude to the children and in my opinion cold, she has no human quality or charisma to interact with young children. Today I had the opportunity to be in her class, because it was the first and last day of my 3-year-old son in this place. I saw Miss Ariel scold the children, and snatch away the glue sticks of two children who were playing with them, she also took another child roughly by the arm to sit him down. Throughout her class she never approached my son, who was brand new to her class, she did not interact or showed interest in gaining his trust. You expect your children to be in the best hands, and with teachers who show at least a little interest and affection for children. For this reason, I asked to be changed to a different class, but unfortunately the other teacher also showed no interest either. It is not about being a good or bad teacher, nor is it about how many years of experience they have “teaching”, simply they had no charisma, nor did they know how to interact with a new child in the classroom, or how to treat some of the other children if they stepped a little out of their strict teaching styles. The KLA director, Terrie although very kind and nice, but only tried to justify the behavior of Miss Ariel. A teacher with experience and human quality, would know perfectly how to interact with a child, and know how to handle different situations. If Miss Ariel was rude in my presence, it leaves a lot of concern and wonder on how she would behave alone with my son and the other children. By the end of the day my child ended up being sent down to the group of 2-year-olds. I am sure that if any of the parents had the opportunity to attend an entire day in the class with Miss Ariel they would see how cold and militant like she treated the children. They are little people who deserve the same respect as an adult, and discipline shouldn’t be confused with rudeness. Human quality is not acquired with years of experience, you either have human quality, or not. To work with young children, one must have the necessary vocation and charisma to gain their trust and acceptance before attempting to discipline. It was the first and last day of my son at this school. I honestly stayed observing with a lot of sadness today, because I had many grand expectations, but however cute the center is, no one pays to have their children receive cold treatment from their teachers. Hopefully, KLA Boynton Beach will work on improving the human quality of their 3-year-old classrooms teachers at this center.

Incredible school.. the only school I trust with my child is KLA ....Very clean, State of the art. The Teachers are unmatched to the level of care they provide. They lead with their hearts first and expertise second. I work long hours throughout the day and have peace of mind knowing my child is under the care of KLA. Also......In response to the comment in regards of Lack of Vocational aptitude below vvvvv ....My child is 3 yrs of age....has been under the care of KLA since day one as a toddler full time... and can count to 20...knows all colors, speaks fantastic, and Grammar is well above average per various Medical Providers. As the rest of the children are in the classroom/School... Go in for a tour and look beyond the schools cleanliness ..glance at the children and see how they interact. You will be impressed..

My son has been in KLA for Class of the 2’s, I see him thriving and being loved every day, and his teachers are caring and take a lot of work and pride into the everyday activities that are educational and fun. This is the best place for us =)

My son has gone to other Daycare’s in the area and it has been a rough experience. Ms Britany is amazing! My son loves her and respects her. I would follow her wherever she goes. My favorite❤️She’s strong, smart, compassionate, and has a big heart. This daycare is different in the way they put more into art projects, clean, and lots of creative things for the kids to do. He’s in the 3 year old room. He’s there for the summer program and it’s been a smooth experience so far. Lots of parking!!!

A sense of human quality, vocational aptitude and emotional intelligence are some of the most important factors teachers should have when it comes to teaching young children. Its truly disappointing to know that there are teachers without true vocation, and worse, to know that they are hired.

I chose KLA over any other schools in the area back when they were in their Grand Opening Stage!! It was the Best decision moving him to KLA after a bad experience with a teacher and Director from another Local school.Like all parents we want to make the Best Choices for our kids. I would like to take this time on here close to Thanksgiving and GIVE THANKS and continue to Vow to Spread Only Love and Light and Gratitude for all KLA has done over these years! You are truly a blessing a me and I want to pass the Blessing on!!I chose KLA because immediately I felt a connection with Ms.Terrie who is so kind and compassionate from other Directors I met! I also immediately knew we found the ONE place, the ONE teacher when immeditely my son Alexzander found his Most Favorite Teacher Ms. Aerial!! I can’t thank Ms. Aerial enough for being so involved and so absolutely thorough with Alexzander and his behavior and reporting the Facts to me EVERY DAY when I picked him up! Last year after my son’s father had to go Active Duty Army and leave town I relied on Ms. Terrie and Ms. Aerial to comfort Alexzander when nessacary and this school was the best thing for MY SON!! I absolutely LOVED Ms. Aerials teaching style and having a Open Communication Parent-Teacher Relationship with her!! I whole-heartedly, absolutely, TRUSTED Ms. Aerial and Ms. Terrie.My son is in VPK this year and I absolutely can’t say enough great things about Ms. Dina!! Again, this year my son has such a strong healthy connection to Ms.Dina and he loves going to school and learning! He loves being Ms. Dina’s Helper! Watching my son’s growth here at KLA has truly been such a blessing!! Thank you!! ✨✨✨✨✨

Last year I moved my daughter to KLA in the middle of the year following one too many time-outs and sad faces at her previous school. The decision to move her followed a teacher asked me, in front of my daughter, What is wrong with her [my daughter]? My three-year-old, looked at her and responded, nothing. I am a beautiful, tenacious, kind child. Whats wrong with you? This would be her 3rd daycare.My daughter is very smart and very active - a tough combination for any daycare. Moving her to KLA was the best decision I could have made. My daughter blossomed and shined in Ms. Ariels 3 year-old class. It is more than just a daycare, but truely a school - a place of learning and the learning is very child-driven and directed. Ms. Ariel... facilitates... invites... encourages... and supports them in being in discovery and asking questions.My daughter did so well that we chose to keep her at KLA for VPK4, and move her little sister to KLA as well. On her first VPK4 assessment my daughter scored as exceeding expectations.When we moved my older daughter, we also moved the younger one to a new daycare as well. The younger daughter we moved to a small mixed-age daycare. It was good. But... my younger daughter had a difficult time adjusting to the new daycare. She became more introverted and refused to talk with the teachers.So this year, we moved her to KLA as well, and now she is in Ms. Ariels class. She cried the first few days and the love and compassion displayed by Ms. Terrie (the director), Ms. Ariel and Ms. Deena (the older daughters VPK4 teacher) was extraordinary making the transition easier for my daughter and myself. She is now happy than I have ever seen her. She loves school, her friends and Ms. Ariel. I wish Ms. Ariel could teach the girls until they are seven!The tuition is our largest household bill and we stretch every month to have it happen. My wife is a high-school English teacher and I am a social worker. We both are aware of the research indicating the longitudinal effects of HIGH QUALITY early education. High quality being the key words here.With all that being said... we moved two of our daughters to KLA after experiencing numerous other local daycares.... and we believe the price - the tuition- is a good investment in our daughters and their future.Now if only theyd add a kindergarten!

If you are ever considering the KLA school of Boynton reach as a day care for your children please turn the other way and run!!!!!! My daughter has been a student there for 2 years and in the last year on 3 separate occasions a little boy put his hands on her. The daycare promised me the boy would be removed from the school and the proper punishments would be implemented. Their idea of proper punishment? They kicked my daughters out of school! My husband and I refused to accept the fact that this boy was allowed to stay at that school in spite of his actions and when we voiced our anger and called DCF and the police (because they wouldnt handle it)....WE GOT KICKED OUT!!! My daughter is 4. FOUR!!!! And is already a victim of assault and the boy who did this? Multiple times? He gets to move up a class and gets counseling and gets to stay while my daughters get removed. BECAUSE WE WONT BE QUIET ABOUT IT! #stayawayfromKLAUpdate on my original post: found out after the fact, that the boy ended up getting kicked out as well because he touched another child!! So, the corporate and management there clearly didnt handle our situation properly the first time and their neglect to handle things allowed another child to be put in a harmful situation.

No matter how beautiful the school is, no matter how clean it is, its still more impt to choose the safety of your child. Looks really are deceiving. Teacher of 3s named Ariel is very unproffesional and no compassion for children. Think twice of enrolling your child with that teacher. One bad apple may spoil the bunch.
