I was considering sending my 7 month old here. But even with the positive review hearing, she has a camera, but parent has no access to them is bothersome. One person experience with Sandra can be positive, but negative experiences can be factual, too. Sandra sounds like a piece of work, and hearing it an issue culturally me living in Deerfield Beach, I will have to pass. But I will tell all the parents to go based on your own experiences, not anyone else's. My guts telling me it is a No Go Even with this lovely flyer I received. Sandra just hasn't run into the right parent yet.
Most parents complaining of the same thing this program should not be open.

Fantastic day care! Would recommend to family and friends because Sandra does a great job managing the school. Of course every day care will have pros and cons, but this one out matches the rest.
Our 6 month old daughter attends class and I drop her off with Sandra almost every morning around 7:15. Sandra is always there on time and knows how to run a top notch facility for our children.
Safety, cleanliness, ability to teach, affordability, disciplined, hours of op, structure, preparing for grade school etc.. these are all in your favor as a client here in my opinion.
There should be well more positive remarks from all the loyal and consistent customers. This establishment deserves a much higher rating

Little Scholars Pre-School has been an incredible experience for our family.
Both of our children attended the school for a year, with our daughter in the 3-year-old class and our son in the 2-year-old class.
Initially, I had concerns after reading some online reviews, but we decided to trust our neighbor's recommendation, and we're so glad we did.
I want to take a moment to praise the Director, Miss Sandra. Her straightforward and no-nonsense approach might not be everyone's cup of tea, but as parents, what we ultimately want are results.
In just one year, our daughter not only gained a wealth of knowledge but, more importantly, she learned self-discipline and developed a love for reading. She knows how to write her first name, knows the numbers, colors, shapes...
Every day, she came home with homework, allowing us parents to stay informed about her school activities.
What truly amazed us was the rapid progress our 2-year-old son made under the guidance of the teachers.
In a remarkably short time, he learned to use the toilet independently, which I recall took only about a week or two of training.
Despite his tender age, he too brought home daily assignments, and the school taught him sign language, numbers, letters, and more...
We are incredibly grateful for the knowledge and skills our children acquired in just a year.
If we were to offer one piece of advice to Miss Sandra, it would be to consider more convenient payment methods, such as online transfers, to simplify the tuition payment process.
Additionally, having a dedicated social media page for the school to showcase the children's activities and progress would be a fantastic addition.
This way, parents could stay more connected with their children's day-to-day experiences.
In summary, if you're seeking a safe and nurturing environment where your child can flourish academically and personally, Little Scholars Pre-School comes highly recommended.
Thank you, Little Scholars Pre School, for an outstanding year!
Warm regards,

The true shame in this poor review is that it comes from the lack of professionalism of the owner/director (Sandra). The education that my child received (from age 1-2.5) has been great.  The teachers are absolutely wonderful, and sadly are often spoken to in an extremely condescending manor and moved all around due to her shortage in staff. During this very difficult time (COVID 19), Sandra made the wise decision to close the school, which I fully supported. After expressing my support and understanding, I inquired about whether tuition would need to be paid during the closure. She responded that she "clearly addressed it in her email" (which she didn't) and then proceeded to (on the next afternoon) text me to let me know that she left my child's things (nap mat, pull-ups, clothes and the refund check) in front of the school (on the sidewalk) to be picked up. When I tried to speak with her, she refused to elaborate and said it was "very selfish" to inquire about tuition during a difficult time like this. I wish I had the financial ability to pay the tuition without my child being in school, but I am not, especially during this time of uncertainty. Sandra then accused me about lying about my child's allergies (he is under the observation of a doctor for them) and asks "what kind of mother brings their child to school with a [clear] runny nose?" She then proceeded to insult my profession. None of these things were the fault of my child and truly lie with the insecurities and lack of professionalism of the director, however, my child was the one who was taken from his teachers and friends. I hope that Sandra is able to reflect on her behavior and lack of leadership skills. She will continue to lose amazing families, as well as the positive reputation of her school.

THE OWNER IS UNSTABLE! The PROS DEFINITELY DO NOT OUT WAY THE CONS!! This is a HUGE warning to any parent who is thinking of going to Little Scholars, Please don't subject yourself to it and find another school. First thoughts the school seems safe, and focuses on education. I will say the daycare itself is clean and nothing wrong from that stand point. All staff members seem very kind and try hard. I feel bad for them. I've never met a more difficult person to work with than the director.  At first even the (owner/director) seemed friendly I think to get you in the door then her true colors came out and you see just how insanely crazy/unstable she is. However at times I've noticed the staff members rolling their eyes at her and could tell they thought she was NUTS! I knew things were a little off once I saw and overheard other parents in the parking lot complaining almost every time I was walking out with my child.  I wanted to be the judge and give it some time. So after we gave it plenty of time it seemed each week got worse and worse. MANY ISSUES: Sends your kid home if staff is overwhelmed or child is too fussy, perhaps under staffed (looks for excuses). Will tell you your pediatrician is dumb! (says she's smarter than your Childs doctor), Extremely rude and childish, wont talk to you like an adult but instead will spend hours writing childish emails, says things then forgets saying them, changes her policies as she wants, a soft stool is diarrhea and your kid gets sent home, has about a month off for breaks and holidays but wants to get paid still, if your child is teething and spikes a small fever he is terribly sick and sent home, I've made her take temperature in front of me while I was present....temp was find but was apparently horrible during the day,  if your a parent that sticks up for your child she will argue with you, she knows your child better than you, argues with you in front of other parents, talks horribly about other parents to you, cant keep track of your payment checks you give her, cant stand when another strong woman proves her wrong( this has happened a lot), would go out of her way to start with my wife,  plenty of times with too many kids in the classroom with one staff member, keeps kids in her office as classroom(they sit on the floor), strict and very militant towards children, talks to parents like they are children, this list could go on forever and ever......I will never not pay attention to reviews ever again! If I read the reviews before hand I would of never had to deal with a crazy person!  Plenty of daycares in the area with kind people...we found one the next day! ......please save yourself the headache/drama and your hard earned money and look elsewhere!
