Everyone here is so wonderful! This was the first daycare my daughter shes went to (shes one) and she loved it. We unfortunately moved and I am unable to take her back due to the fact theyre so far now. But i am so upset I cannot find a daycare like this on my side of town noone meets my expectations! Amd my daughter misses them.They are the absolute best! You would love them!

Great preschool!! My daughter loves going to school everyday and tells me that the teachers are so nice. My experience has been great from the beginning, the Director Mr. Tim always answers all my questions and the owner Tiffany is so friendly.I recommend this school to everyone. Having the camera access gives me the peace of mind that my daughter is safe and being treated well. I’m so grateful I found this school.

I moved here from Canada and was looking for a daycare for my 3.5 year old daughter. They said they had a spot available so we went in for a tour. The lady who gave me a tour was super nice and asked if I was looking for work etc and one thing got into another and I was hired. However I didnt start till that following week. My daughter went in for three days before I started work. I was looking at the camera (they have cameras there so you can watch your children too!) And the lady who is in the 3-4 year old room took the mat and ripped it out from under her and ripped the blanket away from her also while she was still sleeping.. I complained about that and got a lame explanation. Everyday when I dropped my daughter off you could hear the other workers talking harshly at the children. No one is nurturing, loving, kind or caring to the children. My daughter would tell me that her teachers would yell at her friends in the classroom and wouldnt help her eat her food. Legally I cannot share the horror stories I saw while working there but lets put it this way, if you want your child to be traumatized, not properly taken care of and verbally abused, then this is the place to receive all of that. This place is horrible. I would give it zero stars. I also had a conversation with another parent who has their child there and she told me that she saw another worker lift her child up by the arm, not once but twice. To top it all off, the owner has withheld my pay which is illegal. If notice the trend, under every negative review she states that there is no record of their child being here... Well theres hard evidence that my child did attend. I feel like making a call to the state, thats how bad this place is.

Im seeing a lot of childish and untrue, or petty, reviews on here.My son has been attending BELA for almost two years now. Yes, there is turnover and new owners but with change comes new or better. I am very happy and feel at ease with the new staff and the competence of all involved with my child on a daily basis. There are cameras that give you a full view of your childs room so I can see everything, which is a great feeling, and if I cannot I just message Miss Ashley with any concerns I have. She responds with a picture of my son and a sentence or two to make me feel better. The guidelines on lunches and snacks were made clear when given a tour and so was their approach to discipline ...timeouts and it is only 1 minute per the childs age ...by law. I have heard stories too from my 4 year old and I make it a point to discuss things with the teachers, Tiffany or Ashley directly. Its disappointing to read the negative when there are SO many positives happening here. My son is doing great and excelling. Thank you for your patience and just being in this stressful but extremely important field! Our children are the future and I appreciate the curriculum and structure being taught here!

I have been nothing but pleased with the childcare my children receive at Bradenton Early Learning Academy. Any time I have had any question, the director/owner has personally responded to me and worked with me. As a parent with a one year old, I love that through the camera system, I can see what is happening in his classroom at any time. Similarly, as a parent with a three year old, I love that he comes home with a new piece of information each day. Furthermore, I love that he is learning Spanish and applying it to daily life.

My daughter attends this school and she loves it! The owner helped me with tuition assistance when I was changing jobs and I’m so grateful. She treats all the students like family and I love that. My daughter is learning how to read and her teacher Mrs. Kaileigh is the best! This school is such a blessing.

We love this school! The teachers are great! My daughter is already learning how to read. She has advanced so much since attending. I recommend this school to everyone.

My daughter has attended this school for almost a year and the experience has been great! My wife and I like all the educational activities and the Director Ashley always answers all my questions and makes me feel like my children are safe. My daughter is already reading and we know that she will be prepared to do well in kindergarten. I check the cameras often and they are always safe and having fun at school. They never want to leave when we pick them up because they like their teachers so much. I highly recommend this preschool to everyone.

My son has been going to this school for about a year and a half now. We love Ms. Ashley and have never had a problem with any of the staff. My son has excelled and learned a lot since being there. My favorite part about this school is that they are curriculum based so the kids are learning a majority of the day. I also love that there are cameras so that I can check on my son whenever I want. We are grateful for the experience we have had thus far and will be here until kindergarten.

My daughter attends this preschool and the owner and staff are great! I can log in anytime to see what she is doing and they always take great care of her. I recommend this preschool to all my friends. I would give it a 10 stars if I could.

After I read the false reviews being left by people. I felt that I needed to write about my experience. I have 4 children that attend this school for the last 2 years, we enrolled all 4 kids 2 months after they opened the doors. I have experienced all the classrooms because at the time I had 6 week old twins, a 1 and 2 year old and they have all moved up in the school to other classrooms. The old Director was good but the New Director is Great! She is really nice and answers all my questions. The owner and the Director treat us like family. They have helped my family when we needed it. The owner, Tiffany offers tuition assistance to families and works with everyone that wants great care for their children. The teachers are always so caring and nurturing and my children have learned allot since they have been there. I cant wait to see all four of my kids graduate. I check in on my children several times a day by accessing the cameras and it gives me that piece of mind that they are safe and educating my kids. I wouldnt trust my children at any other preschool. Before you believe the craziness that people write I would go by and see for yourself what they have to offer.

My children have been attending this preschool for almost a year and a half and its wonderful! They have never EVER mistreated my children or any other children in the two classes that I watch on the camera system all day long from work. The person Mercedes from Canada who wrote the review was only at the school for 2 days in my daughters class and wasnt up to standard so the owner asked her not to come back. If there is ever any issue the owner always allows you to see what happened on the cameras. That is why they are there to protect the children. My children have learned so much since attending this school. I would go in and experience it yourself. I can log in each day and see exactly whats going on. I dont have to guess and if I am not online then another parent is and they certainly wont allow children to be harmed. This preschool is great and I recommend it to everyone because I know my children are safe and learning each day.

Its getting to be that time of year again, I am so thankful for the summer camps that this school provides, they are so awesome. My grandson loves going there., this will be his third. You guys are the best, especially the director. Ashley you rock!!!!

I honestly have no personal experience with this company. But, I feel compelled to explain my issue. My daughter had her child enrolled in the daycare. Apparently, there was an issue and my daughter was unhappy and removed her from the school. Because of what happened, she wrote what she considered, an honest review. I have had no interaction or involvement in any of this.I guess as a form of retaliation, Tiffany decided to leave a negative review on my companys google page. I have never met Tiffany. She has never been to my office. Ive politely emailed her several times to ask her to take down her review. And I have received no response. This is disturbing because it shows a lack of maturity which I think is essential if you are going to entrust them with your childs welfare.

I love this school! The staff is friendly, its super clean and my son learns something new everyday. I am also able to check in on him during my lunch everyday because they have cameras. I highly recommend this to school to everyone.

I think some of these reviews are people that have never actually been to this location or had a child enrolled. The front door is code entry only and it has cameras in every room in the building making it extremely hard to take children plus there is a black security gate around the entire property. My experience has been great! Our boys have been enrolled for about a year and they have learned so much. My oldest son is prepared for Kindergarten next year and is almost reading on his own. They always provide great care and we feel our children are extremely safe and well care for. We chose this school after touring 8 others in the community and are so happy about our decision.

Such an amazing daycare! Tiffany and team always make sure everything is up to par! My daughter has gone here for over 3.5 years and I wouldn’t place her anywhere else. She has learned Spanish, even sensory skills and enjoys learning even after the school day and raves about all the extra events and activities that they go above and beyond to host or have. Even get my tax ID with zero issue every year! Loyal happy parent!

I love sending my kids here. I log into the security cameras every day and check on them. Both my preschoolers and my 8 yr old who goes to after care get to pick free classes like soccer and dance to do free as part of the tuition. They have been going for 3 months and its been a great experience with very skilled teachers, and they tell me every day how much fun it is.

My four year old told me that 2 of his teachers were pinching him with their long fingernails and one was pulling on his chin if he misbehaved. I said something to the owner and she brushed it off and told me that would never happen b/c they have cameras. First of all why would a four year old even know to make that up. The next 2 weeks they complained about behavior almost every single day including him holding onto a door handle. Yesterday they told me he couldn’t return b/c he had peed on the playground behind the rock wall. When I asked him about it he said his teacher would not take him inside to use the bathroom. Very disappointed in their care and lack of empathy. Teachers should never put their hands on children.

I ABSOLUTELY love this daycare my son has been attending here FOREVER. He has learned so much, I mean one day we are in the car and he’s saying all the months for the year, next he’s spelling his name like I love all the staff. They are all like family. My son ABSOLUTELY loves attending BELA. I would recommend EVERYONE to bring there child(ren) there.

Best daycare in Bradenton hands down. I have 4 babies. Twins that are 2, a 3 year old daughter , and 4 year old son. They have been taking care of my children since the twins were 6 weeks and have easily become family. The teachers love my kids like they are their own and my babies learn something new everyday and come home soooooo excited to tell me and daddy what they’ve learned. You’re not gonna find a better school. Period.

My daughter has been going there over 2 years now and she loves it. The staff is always willing to help with with questions and concerns.

ZERO stars! Would not recommend this daycare to anyone! First of all I have to agree with a previous reviewer , once the old director Ms. Ashe left EVERYTHING went downhill... They can’t keep teachers there (it’s like a revolving door). Staff is unprofessional & not friendly at all. The front door, although code entry, is usually left open in the mornings. Diapers are not changed frequently. Staff members go from changing diapers to handling food WITHOUT washing hands (you read that right). If you drop your kid off in the morning before 8am they will be placed in a classroom with 20+ Kids and 1 teacher. If your child gets hurt the teachers will act like they don’t know what happened then write up a bogus accident report. Teachers will allow other students to eat your child’s lunch. I’ve seen a toddler push open the “safety” gate on the playground & come out into the parking lot without the teacher even noticing... mind you, this daycare is on a busy street. These are all things I have witnessed myself but I’m sure “management” will try to deny below this review. With that being said, this is an honest review. Please do NOT send your innocent children here!

We love, love this school. The staff is amazing and the facility it great!! I highly recommend to everyone.

Would NOT recommend their services. Terrible things happen to children there and unfortunately the staff does not take responsibility for their actions. If you want your child to remain safe and come home how your dropped them off I would look into other facilities.

After Miss Ashe left, this place went south. I would definitely not recommend this daycare to any of my friends and family. I can’t believe how immature and irresponsible the staff/owner is. They are extremely unprofessional. I removed my daughter and found a much better daycare for my daughter. One where she’s actually cared for mentally and physically!

My son & daughter attend this preschool and have been excelling since they started in March. My son has increased his reading ability substantially, and my daughter loves the free dance classes. Its the first time shes ever got to do an activity since its free. I love logging on the security cameras and watching them in their classrooms throughout the day. The only other preschools that had cameras near me were very expensive and out of my familys budget.Ive been very impressed with the staff, many teachers have higher edu degrees and I can see the weekly learning schedule for each of my kids. This preschool is awesome & safe - we are staying until Kindergarten.

The teachers and director are really passionate about the children and their jobs, 10/10 would recommend 😊

The owner would always pick arguments with my wife. I tried to give them the benefit of the doubt but got tired of the drama.

Amazing school, and such a loving, caring and amazing owner Tiffany!

Amazing school keep up the good work

My sisters kids went here. I have Never met a lady that cares so much of herself until I met the owner Tiffany!

Horrible daycare, immature staff. One of the staff members even decided to leave a false bad review for my place of work to retaliate my review, which can be viewed below under “A Mommy” (I guess she didn’t realize I could see) Staff didn’t feed my daughter anything but cereal puffs and orange slices for her whole almost 9 hour day. I didn’t know until I opened her lunch box and almost everything was there, and sealed. (Cheese stick, guacamole cup, yogurt) It was not offered to her. This was proven by the cameras. The excuse for this was that “they have new teachers who are still learning”. I would think any teacher should know that a child needs to be fed. They ended up agreeing that she didn’t get her proper nutrition for the day, that it was unacceptable and apologized. My daughter is only 18 months old. I withdrew her the next day.EDIT- We reviewed the footage of my daughter NOT eating, after you apologized profusely and agreed it was unacceptable. The immaturity level here is ridiculous. Stop denying something you’ve already admitted to. My daughter left this school over 6 months ago. Maybe you should change something rather than blaming your bad reviews on me.

The worst experience ever this place should be shut down completely due to lack of training to the staff as well as being extremely filthy and unsanitary. My daughter caught the hand foot and mouth disease twice after two outbreaks in this daycare within 8 months. She also caught ring worms on her legs arm and back and her entire time enrolled over 80% of the time she came home with soiled diapers almost daily. Wish it was an option for 0 stars

The owner doesnt care about the kids she just wants your money! All the teachers act clueless and spend most of their time on their phones not watching the kids. SMH

I’d never send my kid there after what I heard about what’s goes on there
