Oak Crest Preschool

The owner and staff at Oak Crest are very involved in the care of each child here. Even though each child has an assigned class based on his/her age with its teacher(s), who the class get to know and establish a strong and close relationship. However, the teachers take the time to ensure that they spend time in each of the classes so that they get to know each of the children and truly understand their needs, as well as likes and dislikes. Choosing a daycare was by far the most difficult decision my wife and I have had to make (so far) for our son, but we are definitely satisfied with our decision and the care that he has been receiving at Oak Crest.

Had all three of my children at this daycare at some point in time (starting in 2016) and sadly cannot leave a positive review. From my experience I can say it is in a safe and convenient location and the owners daughter who was there when my last child was briefly enrolled is lovely to deal with but the actual owner and face of the facility is passive aggressive, and condescending at the very least. Every-time there was a request for anything she refused to accommodate it. For the cost it is not a deal and does not provide adequate services. My last child was attacked and this was the third time in three days, he was left with a deep scratch in his face that is now a permanent scar a year later. He also "fell" into a bookshelf that left possible fracture in his skull and permanent calcification and dent in his forehead. The doctor said it willMost likely never go away (happened 19 months ago) The first two requests on the injuries that had occurred previous to the serious one were dismissed despite my son telling me another kid hurt him. Additionally my son had a medical emergency (seizure) and requested to see footage per the doctors request and they refused to help me obtain this. Lastly to these isolated incidents, I have never felt more unwelcome in a place that I spent thousands and thousand of dollars at. We have switched to a different preschool and it is like day and night compared to Oak Crest, I didn't realize until i switched how terrible my experience over a 4 year period actually was. They really could improve how they treat staff and families and ultimately the care they provide kids.

Oak Crest Preschool is amazing! I highly recommend. They have the best teachers and a great front office staff. They keep the school extremely clean and always have a smile on their face.  This is my third child to go through the preschool experience and he has learned and grown so much here. He has also stayed healthy too. Extra shout out to his current and previous teachers Ms. Joyce and Ms. Maria. They are patient, kind, and rock star educators.

I can't recommend Oak Crest Preschool high enough to families searching for high quality child care. I have 2 children ages 2 and 5 who attend full time Monday - Friday. They have attended for 1.5 years and I have toured several schools/daycares/pre-schools before deciding on Oak Crest. I have been so impressed by how my children's motor and cognitive skills have been guided by the programs they are in at Oak Crest. They are enriched and engaged all day through creative experiences - too many to list! My children LOVE going there and I genuinely feel as though they are part of the family with the care they provide.The playground areas are separated by age group, secure and unexpectedly secluded and pretty. I am in great communication with the kids' teachers on behavior and developmental progress. In the case that one of my kids has a "boo-boo" I receive written incident reports whenever my child has an accident and I am always called ahead of time. (which is very appreciated)All snacks and meals are packed at home. The toddler ages were a little challenging for me, personally, because all items needed to be individually labeled and had size restrictions. This was a change that the state of Florida required, though. I've heard of other schools not enforcing it which would have made things easier on my end but I was comforted knowing that all aspects of care were in line and exceeded state requirements. There have been several reviews addressing the owner's personal demeanor which is why I wanted to weigh in on the subject. I believe that because Denay is professional and has maintained a standard exceeding other facilities providing similar care, she may be perceived as unpleasant. I've observed Denay and the staff during standard state standard inspections for licensing and compliance checks for the various changing laws year-to-year and you wouldn't be able to tell that it is any day out of the ordinary.
