We love this school! My son and I participated in the Baby and Me classes which were so educational (as a new mom) and really helped me understand how to properly stimulate my childs environment. We enrolled our son at age 1, and being a stay at home mom, this was very challenging for me. The front staff and the teachers were amazing at easing my worries through this difficult transition. I couldnt be happier with this school - my son is now 2 1/2 and he learns the most amazing things at school! hes even doing yoga! This is a great school, with great teachers, an amazing curriculum, and my husband and I couldnt be happier. My son runs into school every morning and looks forward to going to school. Best school in the area! :) - Proud VIP Mom.

I have not only graduated one of my two kids from VIP, but did not doubt of getting my youngest right away in the same preschool. One perspective is seeing how well prepared they are for Elementary, he is way ahead of many of his class. Another perspective is how loved my little one is, and how much she is learning everyday. VIP Kids is not only an amazing place to learn, but how loved they are. We have gained friends, counselors, and great staff from VIP. I would never regret having my kids in the school. Amazing place.

Kinovu is here!!! Llegó Kinovu!!!Those were the words of my daughter when we arrive at the school this morning. I am happy and really confident leaving her at the school every morning, more than say that I love it, I should say My daughter loves Kinovu. There is plenty of reasons I could be thankful for having chosen this school, but the one that stands up is the love and professionalism that shows every single person that works in Kinovu . Thanks ones again.

One of the worst systems in the area. Their lack of care to toddlers is their mayor problem, added to the hiring process. Kids leave the facility with diapers rashes and they do not care about it. They try to hire the cheapest labor; instead of the most qualify. They tell you a ratio per kid, but in the middle of the day they sent teachers home; even thought, parents has pay for the entire month. Your kid barely has stability in regards to who teaches them. The companys main concern is to make sure employees do not get to 40 hours. consequently, the teachers hours are more important than providing stability to the kids. I was present when the new baby center open, if you are there long enough you will be a witness of 6 months babies in every teacher hands, outside their room area (anybody - sick or healthy- will touch the babies without washing their hands) no thinking of their immune system. 2018. PLEASE STAY AWAY! TOO MANY ISSUES - LACK OF CARE FROM OWNERS AND STAFF.

I want to express my gratitude to all members of VIP team for their passion, commitment and daily hard work. It is a pleasures seeing you in action. The way you see children as capable thinkers and therefore the way you motivate and engage them into exploring and discovering the world through so many amazing themes is impressive.I have seen many schools around the world striving to create a culture of thinking and learning; I have to say with pride, that VIP is one of the best models I have witness. Teachers are not only loving and caring, but very well rounded in the use of thinking routines and other thinking strategies. They not only plan ahead, but reflect on their practice to become better each day.There is a clear understanding that school transcends the classroom and is a place for the families and community to discover a balance life, full of purpose and wisdom. Teachers are always sharing with parents and inviting them to participate and get involved in understanding the thinking culture that is being build in the school.Because of my work, I am always looking for best practices to share with other teachers around the world. Thanks to VIP team I always have great examples, videos and anecdotes to inspire other teachers that want to make a difference too.The world is evolving faster than we think, and education needs to transform it self to provide our children tools for life. VIP has understood that and clearly has become a model for other educators to learn from them. In doing so, hundreds of children are discovering themselves and the world around them while having fun and engaging experiences.VIP CONGRATULATIONS, YOUR EFFORT IS SHOWING AMAZING RESULTS AND TOUCHING MANY LIVES!

Both my girls have gone to VIP. My eldest had such a great experience that even now that shes in elementary, she still wants to go back during summer. My little one, who is 3, wakes up every morning asking whether shes going to school that day and her excitement rises when the answer is Yes. From a parents standpoint, 2 things are at the top for me: 1) that my kids LOVE going to school, this in itself tells me VIP Kids is doing things right; 2) at this tender age the most important thing is for the kids to feel loved, get attention and care. Thats what builds up their self esteem, persona and confidence, and whenever I see the teacher-kid interaction I can see exactly that.So to make my long story short, I recommend anyone to have their kids attend VIP Kids. They will be loved, will have fun, get the age appropriate structure they need, and as a plus they learn Spanish.

VIP KIDS Preschool is a WONDERFUL school. My children love it there, and actually ask to go on their days off. I have tried different schools, and wasnt very happen with the staff and constant turnover. VIP KIDS Preschool has the best staff, and the director is a wonderful woman who is always involved in everything. You couldnt find a better school!A very happy Parent! ;-)

When we moved to South Florida we searched far and wide to find a preschool that we felt comfortable sending our son to. When we found VIP my husband and I both agreed that the search was over. In that time Andreina Story, was the Assistant Director, she was very helpful and answered all of our questions. Our son studied there 2 years and it felt like he was at home, he loved it. With the bilingual program he reinforced his Spanish. Along with the great atmosphere and programs, the cost is very reasonable and the hours are great especially when both parents work full time jobs. Now 4 years later we have a 7 month old son that goes to an in-home daycare and we plan on sending him to VIP when he is old enough (Im so excited). We are lucky to have found this school!

Both my kids assist to VIP and and we couldnt be happier. Its without doubt the best pre-school in town. Teachers are professional-caring people, who really get to know and love the kids. Every time my kids see their teachers inside and outside the school building they just run to say hi with a big smile on their faces.

If the local cant be describe as a school, the program works very well for our kids (4Y & 2Y1/2).Both teachers are really nice and the direction is professional AND human.Cant tell any negative things on the program and the way how everything is managed overthere.

Sit down for a long yet full of insight review after over a year of enrollment... Good school, good program, good teachers, horrible at following through with policies in place to ensure others kids safety.I had to end up pulling my daughter out due to their lack of action with an aggressive child that caused skin lacerations and permanent marks with bites and scratches, 3 times to be exact in less than 6 months all in the face yet they didnt see a pattern enough to care and chose to use their better judgement based on experience and call this normal 2 1/2 year old behavior and try to excuse this as a reaction to my daughter wanting to play with her (they said taking a toy from her yet video shows no toy) calling that a negative behavior and trying to compare it to her (the adult) taking my phone from me as something I wouldnt like (yeah I didnt see how that would be a good example either)... Newsflash even if that was the case THAT IS NORMAL 2 1/2 YEAR OLD BEHAVIOR! Typically bites and other forms of physical aggressions are used for communication but not on the face, the face is just anger and violence specially nearing the 3s . If she is acting like this because she cant communicate as they say (kid speaks very well) then she obviously needs extra resources that theyre unable to accommodate.I rate the aggressions as compulsive (ruthless as shown to me in the video footage), yet they state that because the girl doesnt chase to strike, my child is in the wrong for insisting to play, oh Im sorry for my child being socially acceptable and meeting an actual milestone!Theyre basically in violation as per DCF for not enforcing their expulsion policy that states that if theres a behavior that cant be resolved such as a child is a risk to others, needs one on one or special needs that they cant accommodate (which she obviously needs a shadow or further evaluation by a certified professional in behavior) it is their discretion to decide an expulsion. After 3 meetings, the same outcome, they have to work with the problematic child and parents to help them and giving me no options, no moving the girl up, no holding mine back, no shadowing, no suspensions, no immediate removal from class after incidents and no expulsion, my kid and Im sure others continue to get hurt while they keep a good relationship with their fellow countrymen. Overall poorly handled, they dont really know what the next step is they have to take when a situation like this arises in order to keep a safe environment for all of the childrenSo if youre in the early 2s currently and your kid continues to get physically assaulted by a girl, that girl will somehow be favored unfortunately. I guess from a business standpoint it was best for them to lose 1 instead of 2 kids that are enrolled in the school from that family. But I wasnt going to wait around to see what was coming next.Again, curriculum at the school is great and important, and my daughter enjoyed it, but so is the safety and well being of my child. My child spends most of her day at the preschool so I expect and trust her to be well taken care of and thriving while in someone elses care when it is their sole duty to protect her from all means of harm while in their care.Ive had other concerns as a mother such as sanitation; my daughter was always sick because kids kept sharing toys from mouth to mouth which was normal in that age group but the toys werent being put a side to avoid this spread, I expressed my concern and it was corrected, voice was raised (actually my daughter was yelled at causing her to cry non stop) this was also addressed, all these things I could deal with and was happy my valid concerns werent being disregarded, I thought they were honest and it was reassuring for me as an actively involved parent to place my trust in them. In my opinion my daughters health, emotional and physical wellbeing is not something out of the ordinary so I expected this to be handled accordingly not because being mandated to but because they truly put their kids first.

I have brought my daughter here since September 2012. We had just moved down here from Philadelphia so we were really starting from scratch. We know we wanted our daughter to be in a school that provided a lot of love and education at the same time. Additionally, we wanted a bilingual school so that she could learn english and spanish since my husband and I were both hispanic but were not very good but it was important that she learned. We could not be happier with the love and attention she receives at this school. She has grown so much and is exposed to so many things. I would highly recommend any child to attend this school. I am already planning to enroll my one week old son when he turns one.

I had a very bad experience here july 2013. i walked in at an unexpected hour and found a teacher yelling and shaking a 3 year old child with special needs. it was in the playground and away from where most of the staff could see or hear. she had her back to me so i saw the entire disturbing event from start to finish. it happened in front of all the other children who were standing around staring and 2 other teachers. when i complained they gave me several excuses like the therapists had instructed them to apply physical pressure to this child when disciplining him. what i saw was more than pressure. this teacher had lost all control. the director listened but followed the company line i suppose for reasons of liability. my child was doing a trial for the summer here and i had to pull her out and report the incident. it perhaps was an isolated incident but there were other issues the school had. i loved that it was a bilingual school where my daughter would practice her spanish but the downside is it is run by third worlders with third world attitudes. ie, lets jam as many kids as possible in classrooms and lets see how many shortcuts we can take. the front desk was disorganized with the support they gave the teachers in the classroom. I did meet some kind and wonderful teachers but they had up to 22 kids in a room (the early 3s) and at several times throughout the day only 1 teacher with all those kids. i saw one teacher at snack time trying to feed a ton of children while another child was calling for help from the bathroom and no other teacher around to help. chaos. I also saw that the front desk blurred the professional/personal lines by granting favors for friends/family in the school. some teachers spoke a little too harshly to the kids but i think that was mostly a cultural thing and not everyone will have a problem with that. also, i couldnt figure out if the harvard thinking based program that they tout is just a gimmicky thing. i asked several parents about it and no one could really explain it. overall i REALLY wanted to like it here but there were several things that didnt sit well with me and then the final straw was witnessing the teacher yelling and shaking the special needs child.
