I witnessed abuse there. Always be careful of where your kids are.

Discovery Preschool is an amazing school. My children are beyond loved and are learning a tremendous amount. The teachers are caring and structured which gives both of my children what they need. The administrative team is the best I have seen. Definitely a great experience for my children and myself.

My 2 year old joined Bright Horizons a month ago. After crying for the first 3 days he constantly asks to go to school when he is at home.We drop him off and he doesn’t even look back.The school is clean, organized and the staff is beyond amazing.Couldn’t have asked for a better place for my child.

My son is almost 2.5 years old and has been home with me since birth. I have never left him at a daycare or with a babysitter. He is extremely attached to me. Bright Horizons was going to be his first time in any school environment.Right after this past new year, we toured the school with our son, and the entire staff was so welcoming, warm, understanding, and very family-like. We started him at Bright Horizons the following week (3 weeks ago). Drop-offs are still emotional for him, but he willingly walks into his classroom and immediately goes to his teachers (of course with a pouty face because Im leaving), but I know that he enjoys his day there.Bright Horizons has an app where I can see pictures of my son participating in that days activities, so its a phenomenal way to have peace of mind. Every day when I pick him up, his teachers make sure to talk to me, let me know how hes doing, if there are any concerns, etc. They care very much and I love that.I highly recommend this school!

I recently enrolled my son at Bright Horizons in Boca. We are super pleased with everyone there. I read a couple other reviews and frankly I am scratching my head over the negative ones. This place has been absolutely fantastic. Starting with Ms. Shannon who is a ball of positive energy. The school is clean, the teachers....high level. Even the parents of other children there are high level. The class size is like 10ish which allows for personal attention. There is actual learning going on here not just daycare like child sitting. My son has been there for a month or so and already he is speaking more clearly and has grown mentally in so many way. I would recommend this school to anyone.

We LOVE this school!!! My son is doing so well there. They are flexible, teachers are amazing and he is learning a ton. The teachers send pictures and daily reports (which makes potty training much easier).

Nothing but good things to say. I would recommend to any parents living in the area to consider this Daycare & Preschool. They truly care about the kids and are very considerate to parents. A+++

Our experience at Discovery preschool was a nightmare. I saw all the negative reviews online and choose to ignore them and boy was I wrong. This school is very close to our house and ways always recommended on Boca Moms Facebook page which is why we chose it. From day one something didn’t feel right to me, but against my better judgement I sent my daughter for two months thinking it was just in my head. To start, they advertise media, gym, and music three days a week. Gym never happened in the two months we were there, music happened once and media consisted of the kids going to a different classroom for a different teacher to read them a book. Everything listed on their website under Enrichments & Extracurricular Activities, never happened. A complete joke! They do not follow the schedule they provide you. Everyday when I picked my daughter up, the kids on the playground were running wild while teachers talked amongst themselves not watching the children. One day I saw a teacher grab a little girls face and say “look at me, I didn’t like that!”. In the window of another class I saw a teacher snatching things from a small child aggressively and walk awhile as the child cried hysterically. I walked in to my daughter class when the teacher didn’t know I was there to her grabbing my daughters arm to keep her at circle time even though she was just getting up because she saw me. Just an overall feeling of nastiness and no love throughout the entire school. Additionally, the classroom was dirty, smelled and my child who never got sick was sick the entire two months of being there along of several other kids in the class. For the life of me I couldn’t understand why anyone would recommend this place. All this alone would be reason to pull my daughter out of this school but unfortunately this was nothing compared to how my daughter was treated. Now to get into the truly inexcusable things that happened to my daughter. This was her first school experience. She is 3 and had been home with a nanny during the day while mommy and daddy worked. She was excited to go to school, excited to be a big girl and went relatively happily for the first couple of weeks. She is a very sensitive little girl and very shy, she takes awhile to get comfortable with new people and she is very attached to mommy. Naturally she cried at drop off which I thought was normal but would say she had a fun day. Something shifted a few weeks in and she was terrified to go to school. She started telling me school is scary and it’s really not good. Telling me she never wants to see her screaming teachers again. She started to play school at home and reenact the day and she would be the teacher, she’d yell and get mad and say things like what is wrong with you, stop crying or you’ll go to the baby room. She started grabbing my face and say look at me, you listen to me, I am very mad at you! I am the teacher, I make the rules! All very out of character for my sweet little girl and very alarming behavior. Turns out the teachers had no patience for a little girl who cried at drop off, missed mommy during the day and who was sensitive and got her feelings hurt easily. They would scream at her because she was crying, threaten her with being sent to the baby room and tell her mommy and daddy weren’t coming back. They shamed her by saying look at your friends they aren’t crying why are you? They told her something was wrong with her, told her to cry all she wanted they aren’t buying it. They scared her, all because she this was her first time away from home and it was hard for her. Instead of doing their jobs and gaining her trust and building her confidence and help her make friends and enjoy school and learn they bullied her and ruined her first school experience. They tried to break my sweet innocent, happy, loving little girl. Treating a young child or any child like this is damaging and detrimental to their development.

Absolutely the best preschool. The office staff are hands on and caring, the teachers go above and beyond. My daughter loved going and I always felt confident about her safety.

One of the worst day cares. Its all about money for them. Both infants and toddlers teachers are bad. The director is a sophisticated liar.
