I love everything about this preschool. My child loves it here. Everyone here is so friendly an my son wakes up ready to go to school. I’m so happy I pick this school. Every staff knows every kid in the center by first name. It’s a family vibe

This center is amazing! When my 3 year old was enrolled she was not talking at all and had difficulties expressing herself, her teacher Ms. Kay and Ms. Devin has worked with her so much. Their efforts and hard work is shown through my baby, she’s talking more and is able to express herself so well. Another great teacher there is Ms. Ray she’s so sweet and handles the kids great. My youngest daughter is completely in love with her which helps me as a parent, she’s has helped my youngest daughter open up a lot since being there. It’s a great center and I would definitely recommend this place to anyone

Nothing like this daycare. The best and definitely like family! Very thoughtful and considerate. Ms.Trina is the best school teacher, our little Rosie has had. At first she did not know how to spell her name or count, in a couple of weeks she is on top of things. We are very proud! Thanks Ms. Trina for being the best!

This was my sons first time at a facility he had been in home daycares since birth. The director and her staff are the best! My sons teacher is Ms Devon she is amazing! She is helping me with potty training which is always nice to have a teacher that is on the same page as you. Since joining her class he has gotten better at letter and word recognition! My son is always eager to go to school! I’m so happy I found this daycare!

I wish I could share the 5 star rating that everyone was speaking about but sadly that wasn’t the case for us. We sent our son to the daycare for 2 days and had to pull him out on day 3. One staff member in particular was very rude and unprofessional and I didn’t feel comfortable leaving my son there so he was taken home. I reached out to the owner to voice my complaints in hopes of coming to a resolution cause we paid for the week and she never responded!

Ms. Trina, plays a very important role in my niece life as she is committed to her career. I hear my sister brag all the time about how awesome Ms. Trina is. I can honestly say that since my niece met Ms. Trina she fell in love with her. Ms. Trina is an outstanding teacher. My niece have learned a lot. The center itself is great and cant wait for my child to be old enough to be in Ms. Trinas class. I want to personally thank Ms. Trina for providing a friendly atmosphere for my niece where she has grown to love. Ms. Trina is respectful, caring, and fun-loving. We really appreciate everything Ms. Trina does. Thank you Around the Clock, Youll have the best teacher.

My daughter started when she was 1 years old, and my main concern was she wasnt talking and all she could say was hey. Now shes two and she talks more than ever and I want to think Around the Clock kid care for that. She comes home everyday singing a new nursery rhyme and singing her ABCS. Her teacher is Ms.Carmen my baby loves her so much and she is always excited to see my baby she even has her to the point when she comes though the door she knows to put her passy away. All of the staff is amazing.

I love this Daycare!! Its the first one my son has attended since we moved here from Arkansas almost 2 years ago, he is in Mrs.Carmens 2 year old class and has learned so much he just turned 3 and not only does he know his ABCs numbers and colors he can spell his name, knows our address, what city and state he lives in and can even tell me my phone number. He tells me the names of all his friends and loves going to school he adores Mrs. Carmen and will even say on the weekend sometimes I wanna see Carmen! Ive also noticed improvements in my sons social skills since attending this daycare. Another thing I love is they are always doing fun things with the children such as holiday parties, movie/pajama day, and in the summer time they have ice cream days that my son loves! The staff is very friendly too!!

My child has been here for the last 2 years and I’ve had no issues. Ms Trina the VPK teacher is so passionate and patient with the entire class. She has made sure everyone knows how to read wrote and spell their names. They know English and Spanish and even a little bit about time! At 4! Everything is always clean and neat.

From the time my son started at this daycare they have been nothing but great to our family.. They made him feel comfortable after being his first time in an actual daycare. Ms.Sernetra has always been quick to respond and always very helpful. The whole staff is friendly and willing to help. Ms. Trina has been an AWESOME teacher and so grateful that she was my son’s teacher this year. He has learned so much and it’s great to have a teacher who really cares about her students..

I cant attest to the quality of education children get here but it is a really convenient place for me to drop my older school age children when school is out for break and i need to work. i have a 6 and 5 yo who come and the owner is very serious about them wearing their masks, they wash their hands as soon as they come in the door also. for all day care its less than 100 for the two of them and they feed them so i dont have to pack lunch. i have had 1 issue with them closing early for a holiday without notice and last minute but not bad enough for me not to use again. next break, well be back!

My daughter went to around clock kids for a few months the teachers were great and friendly i met Ms Trina previously at another center where she was the VPK teacher when i saw her at this center i said i cant wait for my daughter to be apart of her VPK program because I’ve already seen her in action. She is an awesome teacher very friendly and has a great love for kids, and teaches them so much. They are definitely lucky to have her on their team!

Ms. Rae is so great with my baby. I was not sure how he was going to react going from a home daycare to an actual daycare with a lot of kids. Ms. Rae made the transition so easy. Im so thankful for her and the whole team. They are great. My baby loves it!!! Im so happy we decided to start him here. It is definitely refreshing to see people who genuinely care about your children. Love this place. My baby will be here for a while. Thank you so much ladies!!!😍😍😍

I have been working for Around the Clock Kids since October 2020 i have been to a few centers this one was my best the ladies when i started were awesome Ms K and Ms Ray and Mrs. Carmen welcomed me with open arms from day one. These ladies are amazing teachers. Mrs Senetra is the greatest boss ive had in years shes on point. Very professional at all times and fun very loving and welcoming to everyone around her. She opened her doors for me like she knew me her entite life. I love coming to work and seeing my kids faces when i walk in. And the parents all participate in everything and they are so sweet and nice all the time. The parents help me give there children the beginning foundation of education Parents you Rock.

Ms. Sernetra,is the most amazing and sweetest person to ever wanted meet as well as being the owner that she is and Miss Trina is the VPK teacher and she is amazing to have the patience to deal with all the little personalities and still manage to help them in being successful in school.

The teachers and staff are amazing...My daughter has learned alot while attending and the staff is always doing something fun with the kids. My daughter loves going to school, she loves her teacher and she doesnt cry when I drop her off. They are the greatest with potty training and getting kids to eat vegetables.

I have only good things to say about this daycare. It isn’t often that a childcare facility brings empathy and affordable choices for parents, but Around the Click Daycare & Preschool does that in our community.My boys have been attending Around the Clock Kids Care & Preschool since relocating back to Jacksonville in May of 2018. Not only did they work with my second shift schedule, but also made it possible to accommodate 12 hour shifts when transitioning to the hospital. My children’s father passed away in July of this year, and they made an exception for my youngest, but the entire staff has been nothing but supportive throughout that time as well. My children have been able to have consistent, structured, caring environment through a chaotic time in our lives. The process following this has been ongoing as well and the communication I receive from the staff and owner is thorough as well as consistent and gives me every confidence in my children’s well being while I am at work. Days, nights, weekends, doesn’t matter, they are open to accommodating needs/requests other facilities ignore completely in Duval county. I was also given the opportunity to volunteer here as well, and beyond that, they have worked with payment plans as well.I couldn’t say enough good about this establishment. My children have been able to make friends, not only with other children in their classes but also be able to build positive relationships with the staff members too.

Every parent wants the best for their child and as a result can have very high expectations for childcare. Around The Clock exceeded our expectations. It was very important to us that the school provide a safe environment, a calm learning atmosphere and nurturing teachers. Around the clock hit the mark on all counts. The teachers truly care for each and every child and foster an environment where they feel safe and loved. As a parent, the communication between parent and teacher/Director was a great comfort. I have been very grateful for my son teacher. She has always made me feel comfortable to come in and chat about concerns, provide feedback and discuss my children’s progress. This partnership philosophy permeates throughout the school and makes the world of difference. Plus my son Chase is very happy there and thats a huge blessing

My kids loved it here. I was confident in this centers ability to take exceptional care of my girls. As a single parents, I can say the rates are very reasonable. Even with that, theyre willing to work with you. The place was always clean, and i didnt worry about them getting sick because the kids are CONSTANTLY washing their hands. Which is great as they bring that habit as well as their lessons home. I highly recommend. Especially if you need after school care as well.

My child loves this daycare. Unfortunately, she no longer attends due to moving across town, but she misses Mrs. Athena and all of her old teachers dearly! She was a before and after school student and attended during summer breaks. If her bus was late or never came they called me immediately. Love and miss it.

My daughter was at this daycare for quite some time. She made friends and had very respectful caretakers that seemed to care for the children individually. My daughter enjoyed going to the facility. She began singing songs she learned from daycare at home. After her time at around the clock I believe my daughter has learned a lot and enjoyed her time there. Thank you to the friendly staff!

Love the staff here. My daughter would cry from separation anxiety no matter what daycare she attended, but the staff here would hold her and comfort her every morning. After a month one morning she just said, “bye mom” calmly. She feels safe there without me and it’s a great feeling to know that. Plus it’s a clean facility.

Around the Clock Kid Care & Preschool has an excellent program! Their staff is trained above and beyond what the state requires. Also, the students are always happy and seem to enjoy their environment. If youre looking for a great quality child care program, Around the Clock should be your choice. The Director is very nice and ensures that each child is given quaility care. :)

I love this facility they actually teach the children. My son learned sign language. I know when i take my kids to “school” they are well taken care of and treated as if they are their children. Alex and Ania speaks highly of their teachers and on weekends they are excited for Monday so they can go to class.

Review №37

My son was dismissed because of behavioral problems. I do feel that my son was singled out from day one. I never had an issue with this behavior until he started here. He is three, and was given a bear because he didnt know how to express his emotions. Hes three. Just let that sink in. Hes more developed than most three year olds, and I feel as though they should group them based on their level of development, and not by their age. He came home numerous times saying that he was bit, kicked, hit, pushed, etc. What happened to those children that were bullying my child? Nothing. Theyre still attending there. Once again, my child was singled out. So the straw that broke the camels back, was him hitting a teacher. What Ive been told is, that he was bit by another student (again) and the teacher slapped the kid that bit him on the hand, and the teacher grabbed my sons arm, and thats when he hit her. My child is three, he was just bit once again by someone, and then was grabbed by a teacher, so his emotions were quite high. My son does not hit, I can count on one hand, how many times hes struck me since he was two (hes going to turn four in July). I was also informed that he was put in time out for the remainder of the day, and wasnt given food or anything to drink. This place I do believe has caused my beautiful son some mental distress. I was told that if there was ever blood drawn, I was suppose to be called. I was never called. He got a bloody nose, because some of their play equipment fell over. I was never contacted via phone about this. There isnt any form of organization here. Different teachers each week, the director is rude to her staff, and doesnt hide it in front of parents. She belittles everyone around her, and speaks to everyone as if theyre a child. Tasha is by far my favorite person there, and I do wish her well. My son loved her. In conclusion, I do not recommend this place to anyone. My son has suffered from this place, and I do think they should be held accountable for their actions. In no way was it right for them to issue him a time out, and deprive him of basic human rights. I would like to add, that I received the phone call dismissing him around 10am, and he wasnt picked up until around 4. Thats six hours of him not being fed, or given water. Had I known he was going to be sitting there, obviously I wouldve dropped everything and picked him up.

Around the Clock has been great for my son. In the few months he has been there, his speech and vocabulary have more than doubled in clarity and content. Not only is he excited to go to school every morning, he is disappointed on the weekends when he doesnt get to go. He is absolutely in live with Mrs. Tasha who is teaching him how to spell his name and write it. My three year old can tell you who invented peanut butter, count to 75 on his own, knows the days of the week in order and many many more things Mrs Tasha has either taught him or refined. I will be bringing both of my younger sons to Around the Clock once they are a little older.

I have worked at Around The Clock Kid Care for over a year and a half. I love working here. Ms Athena Is a wonderful person to work for. Shes very caring and considerate. Shes helped me grow as a teacher while Ive been here. Ive learned so many things and Ive even had the chance to finally earn my CDA. Around The Clock Kid Care is like another family to me. Ive never enjoyed working somewhere so much before. Thank you for all that youve helped me accomplish and for continuing to work with me and teach me along the way.

Our son lost 3 teeth here! If you care about your child’s life don’t send them here! We are currently in the middle of a lawsuit with this daycare along with several other parents! Our son is 4 now and still has nightmares about the trauma he experienced at this facility! They are reckless and don’t care about the wellbeing of your children! They are cheap and you would be better off paying top dollar for someone to watch you child! They have refused to own up to their mistake and admit their wrongdoing! We brought our son here on a weekend! He was the only child there with only one adult to look after him! He currently sees a dentist regularly and it has been over two years since the incident. We regret putting our son in this daycare! Please, if your kids are here... take them out! Don’t gamble with their health and well-being! This place is horrible!

If I can put zero and still leave a review I would. The owner is very unreasonable, my child never had a discipline problem until she attended! First day I witness a staff members child having a temper tantrum (I’ve seen just about every day afterwards). My child was 3 and learned bad behavior from seeing other children acting out constantly. My child was kicked out the center for refusing to participate in an activity with no advance warning or notice and by a text message only. The director has been nasty ever since and refused to give me the paid report for tax deductions. Was told I was trying to scam her! Also to find out no other kid who I witness behavior was 10x worst than my child was still attending per told by a staff that was a friend outside of care. Do not waste your time in this center it’s a joke very unprofessional and will cost you in the long run!

I placed my children in this daycare (Southside Location) recently and they were supposed to start August 12th. I paid the registration fee plus two weeks tuition in advance. Today (7/25/19) I went into the daycare to pay the two weeks of tuition in advance and noticed the daycare was very hot. I then asked the Director Ms. Allison if she was also hot. She told me that the AC was not working in the front room of the daycare. Then a staff member came out of the back and told the director that the ac in her room was also not working. I later received a call from the owner, who refused to tell me her name, of the daycare repeatedly asking if I was not happy with the temperature of her daycare She seemed very angry and deeply offended. Apparently someone called and reported her daycare to DCF for the Air conditioning not working. I told the owner several times during this conversation that I was not the one who called DCF but she continued to accuse me. Eventually she stated that my children should not attend her daycare and continued to yell at me because she got reported to DCF for her AC not working. She also stated I could come get my money I paid the daycare so I went to go get it but was only given a check for $300 and was not refunded the $75 for registration. When i rang the bell to inquire about my other 75$ no one opened the door. The whole exchange was extremely unprofessional and the owner is out of her mind. Retaliating against the wrong parent for reporting her to DCF for not having Air conditioning is immature. I honestly feel like I dodged a bullet that this happened before my children started there. Dont put your children in this daycare. Thanks.

05/15/2017This daycare is HORRIBLE! Do not put your child in this building. The Children dont get enough food,the building has no running water,if you expect your toddler to be trained think again there are no toilets all the toddlers wear diapers and are never sent to the potty, the afternoon teachers will leave your Child filthy all day, one teacher drug a child down the hall,she was left with more than 11,two yr olds by herself, there are holes in the walls that the kids crawl into and play there have been multiple, times wear there was lice and hand foot and mouth disease outbreak that were not reported to parents, in addition to that ATHENA Alford, turn around rate for teachers is so high shes had more than 15 teachers in one yr for the 2s,and thats just one room. She never stays on schedule for events planned for the children and she will over charge her parents and lock them out of the building due to nonpayment, when parents have already paid, not to mention the unorganized and drama out management

All of a sudden Refused service cause they refused to redirect my child to stay in the specific class they ordered. Part of the issue was they moved her class several times during the day. No notice to terminate just a text to come get her. Only watched her for maybe 2 weeks then Tuesday said come get her had to demand refund of services not received and yearly fee due to her not even getting fully registered before the said they would not provide services. Eventually convinced them to refund my money. Very rude lady running the place named allyn, teachers offered other options and she said no.gave one star due to refund finally received, otherwise would ba e been zero stars.

Review №51

This place is a joke. The director is a horrible person. My child comes home saying nasty things that were heard from other kids and says that another child has repeatedly physically harassed my child. There has been zero progress education wise and no communication. They are glorified babysitters at best. Don’t send your children to this dump if you care about their education and their future.***EDIT*** To the “director” AthenaHow can you say that there are no records of my child being enrolled? What are you basing that off of? My name? Not that it’s any of your business but My child and I have different last names, so try again. Maybe some of these parents whom you also claimed aren’t “enrolled” wished to remain anonymous so their child wouldn’t be targeted?? Seems logical based on the other complaints I’ve been seeing. What motive would a parent have to lie about their child’s enrollment?! That is asinine. And if your ex employees are leaving you bad reviews, obviously they had a reason to do so which worries me that much more.I do not need to tour your facility or schedule a “sit in”. I did that when my child’s mother was looking for places for our child to attend. I didn’t like this place from the get go and fought to put my child elsewhere, however Mom felt that this was the most convenient location. We both have nothing but negative feelings feelings about this place now that our child has developed fear of other children and has learned to say thing “I hate you” and “shut up” and calling people “stupid and ugly”. This is unacceptable and our child is not subjected to anyone or any television where this could have been picked up. I seriously doubt that my child would make up a story about another child pinching and pushing and putting dirt in other children’s hair on a regular basis.In addition to those complaints, in the 5 or so months that my child has been enrolled there has been no real communication about progress. Every time we ask what was done in school we are told “we played and colored” maybe once or twice we were told that they were learning counting and ABCs but after 5 months my child still struggles with being able to count past 10 and misses various letters in ABCs which we have decided to teach ourselves and have seen actual PROGRESS!My child’s mother has complained about your attitude on multiple occasions and even the teacher made a comment to her about the way you “run” things.My child will be pulled from this facility before Christmas Break. You need to find another profession.

This center is a wonderful place for your child to spend their time. They always have activites for your child to take part in and they are very nurturing. My son has progressed in his education tremendously since he has been attending.The meals are cooked on site and they do not include pork in your childs diet. They are very organized and on point. The center stays very tidy and managed. The staff is very caring and support your child with their needs. Did I mention the center is open 24 hours? I believe they even offer drop in services and parent date nights. They are also very proactive when it comes to addressing any issues that may arise. I appreciate Around the clock for being a big part of my family and I would reccommend them to anyone!

I wanted to say im actually quite appalled at all the negative comments against this daycare. I have never once had any issues and my daughter has been going here for a couple years now on and off, due to personal issues. I have had my child in a bad daycare before and I KNOW personally the warning signs of a child not being treated correctly. Since she has gone to around the clock, never once has she shown any of those signs when I tell her to get dressed in the morning for school. She absolutely adores her teacher Ms. Gladys & I love that the director will always stay in touch with me when my child has not so good days which dont come often but when they do she does communicate. My child is never hungry after school, as soon as she gets in the car she tells me momma I had a good day at school! and as a parent theres nothing better than hearing that :) Her vocabulary has improved so much and she has learned tons from being here! I have nothing but good things to say about this place and will always recommend it to anyone who needs childcare!

I recently became a single mom of 4 and had no choice but to use daycare. I was really hesitant and worried about my kids going to daycare because i never had to use it before. From the very first day i brought my kids in for the tour everyone was friendly and very involved with the care of the kids. I work crazy hours and never have a set schedule and they always work with me to make sure i have care. Ms.Tarsha is my 4 yr olds teacher and she is amazing, all 4 of my kids enjoy being with her and are sure to give her a hug every time they see her. Ms.Andrea is my 2 yr olds teacher and she is amazing as well, every morning my daughter goes straight to her. I would recommend this center to any parent who is looking for a daycare. They not only watch your kids but teach them as well, my kids come home singing new rhymes every day, they are helping with potty training, and my kids enjoy going.

I want to stop by and say Happy Holidays to Athena and the entire staff here at Around the Clock at both locations. My daughter attended this daycare and she absolutely loved coming here. She went to the Blanding location the longest and whenever I came in to drop her off and to pick her up I was always greeted with kind words and a smile. Ill never forget what my daughter asked me one day after I picked her up and buckled her in her car seat, she said Hey DaDa? Can I come here forever? Haha, Kids say the darndest things! Thanks again!

This is the WORST daycare ever!!! Please BEWARE! Do not put your child here! Daycare smells like mold when you walk in, front desk is unorganized, classrooms and hallways are unorganized and cluttered as well. All of the teachers look like ex convicts. If you want to pay with a card you have to write your card number on a piece of paper and drop it in a box. So UNSAFE!!! The director has a horrible attitude. You can look up their inspection results with the state of FL and see all of the hits theyve taken with the worst one being not having background checks on file for their staff. There are other hits on there as well that raise a lot of red flags. The WORST mistake of my life was taking my son to this facility. DO NOT MAKE THE SAME MISTAKE I MADE!!! RUN FAR AWAY FROM THIS PLACE!!!!....this review is of the blanding blvd location.******************************************************Edit 1/31/2017 in reply to the owners response:**READERS PLEASE SCROLL DOWN TO SEE THAT THE OWNER ONLY REPLIES TO NEGATIVE REVIEWS AND ALWAYS DENIES ALL OF THE ACCUSATIONS****ONE OF THE GOOD REVIEWS IS FROM A LADY THAT WORKS THERE. I RECOGNIZE HER FACE AS THE LADY WHO WORKS IN THE FRONT OFFICE ON BLANDING BLVD.**1. My son does not have severe behavior problems. How would you know if he did? Like you stated, I NEVER MET YOU!!! Hes been in daycare since he was six weeks old and has never been kicked out so get your facts straight. Your staff never gave me an incident report for not one thing they claim he did. NOTHING DOCUMENTED!2. I see why your staff is so rude and why their training skills are subpar because you (the owner) yourself lack people skills based on the attitude and tone of your response.3. What about the smell? What about the unorganized front desk, hallways and classrooms? What about the paper you have to write your card number on? What about the teachers with piercings in their lips and other parts of their face?....Ill wait4. The inspection results I read were from 2015 to 2016. WHY WOULD I READ AN INSPECTION RESULT FROM YEARS AGO? I read the reports of each inspection FROM WITHIN THE LAST YEAR and on more than one occasion you guys failed to have backgrounds on file for NUMEROUS employees. DONT LIE! The inspection results are public knowledge you know? Not only did you fail to have background checks, you had numerous other hits as well. Stop with the LIES!5. WORST CENTER EVER!Like I said, I went against my better judgement and against my instinct even taking a chance here. Yes, it is reasonably priced but like the saying goes, you get what you pay for....and thats not much here. Now best of luck to YOU director who I didnt meet. Girl Bye!

Staff is always knowing what and where kids are at all times, loving and very educated director, she does not tolerate anyone nkt being top level at her dare care... my kids loved it and learned alot!!!! She is rate A+++ in my book and many other parents!!!! If you are in a finacial straint she will do her best to work with you but she does have a buisness to run!!!! I am so happy my kids feel at home in her daycare

This school is terrible the teachers are cursing in front of the kids pulling kids arm and plucking them in the restrooms.... my child came home with marks all over her body and crying saying that she does not want to go back to school. I spoke to director and nothing happen smh I asked my child what happen all she can say was the teacher the teacher .... and she said teacher said bad word.... I wouldnt recommend this school to anyone .... please think about your child first

My child attended this school for 2 days and came home with a rash, the following day she returned to school and came home so congested. I pulled her from the school and paid over 2 hundred dollars for her to attend the school for 2 days. I was told I would be getting my supply fee back but when I called Monday they told me I wouldnt be getting ANY of it back. Joke... place is a joke.
