DONT WASTE YOUR TIME TRYING TO ENROLL. TRIED MULTIPLE TIMES TO GET A HOLD OF THE DIRECTOR , NEVER RECIEVED A CALL BACK AS I WAS PROMISED . MULTIPLE TIMES. WAS TOLD BY THE DIRECTOR THEY HAVE SPACE AND THE SAME DAY I WASTED TIME AND ENERGY GETTING THEM APPROVED BY 4CS AND THE SAME DAY SHE SAID SOME HAD ENROLLED THEIR KIDS THE WEEK PRIOR. SUPER UNPROFESSIONAL. DONT WASTE YOUR TIME

I dont have enough words to describe how much I love this place. My son just started VPK and this is his first time in school and they have been nothing short of amazing. The staff is awesome, the teachers are so sweet, the lady in the kitchen is also a gem, Ms.Mercedes is just the sweetest, and the Assistant to the Director Ms. Ashley is truly one of kind. I am so happy we found this place for our son. He loves going to school and looks forward to it everyday. I highly recommend Seedlings Academy to anyone searching for a safe and loving place for your childs care .

Both of my kids have gone here and I wouldn’t choose another daycare. Every single staff member has cared for my children like their own. The owner Allie is caring and works with you, I’ve personally seen her go above and beyond for the children.

Our Daughter Charlotte was enrolled in this daycare and she absolutely loved it! Ms. Wanda is the BEST daycare teacher. Charlotte was always happy to go and never wanted to leave. She was always doing fun activities including art work and learning letters and numbers. Unfortunately we moved to Estero and had to change her daycare. She misses it everyday. I highly recommend for any parent looking for a quality, affordable daycare!

My family has had a very good experience with this daycare. My Ashley is the best! I also want to give a big shout out to Ms.Mercedes, just from observing shes always so loving to the children under her care.

As a new mom the thought of leaving your child with strangers so you can go back to work is quite possibly one of the scariest things to go through. But that fear quickly went away after my son and I adjusted to our new routine and saw the loving and caring nature of Seedlings staff. Each morning my son runs excitedly into his teacher Mrs Wanda’s arms. He adores her. You can pay someone to watch your children but you can’t pay them to love them. That comes naturally. You can tell how much the staff love the children they care for. Each day when I pick my son up everyone says goodbye to him by name with a big smile and a wave. I couldn’t be happier that we found Seedlings. I know my child is safe, loved and in a fantastic learning environment.

Had a great experiencing touring the academy in Ft. Myers. Staff was very pleasant and welcoming. The Director, Ashley was very informative and professional. The teachers were very enthusiastic and engaged with the kids. A lot of positive energy throughout the building. Looking forward to my son coming aboard. Would definitely recommend for your childcare needs.

I can’t say enough positive things about Seedlings. I drop my daughter off in the morning and know she is going to be well taken care of and tended to. I am so thankful my first daycare experience has been so pleasant. Ms. Liz is absolutely wonderful with all her babies, Ms. Deb is phenomenal, and Ms. Ashley is always on top of her game.

Seedlings is a wonderful child care center. Our son started there as a 3-month old and has now been enrolled for about one year. The teachers and support staff greet us by name every morning and create a really welcoming atmosphere. At the end of my work day, I arrive back at seedlings to a happy (and often tired from playing) baby. I love that they make food on site for all the kiddos...even for the littlest ones learning to eat solids get organic fruits, veggies, and milk! I am so glad that we chose seedlings!

Seedlings is AMAZING. My daughter did VPK & wrap around and started kindergarten this school year- she’s doing AMAZING!! Ms. Mercedes is fully responsible! We had baby number 2, and without a doubt in my mind knew he would be a Seedlings baby! when it Came time to go back to work, I felt SO comfortable having Ms. Liz care for him. She’s practically family! Before we found seedlings we had a terrible experience with a different center- let me assure you- SEEDLINGS ACADEMY is a hidden GEM.

Seedlings Academy in Fort Myers has been great for our little one, who started right around 3 months. We toured others but the defining factor for us was that diapers, wipes, and food were included and they use Honest Co and provide fresh, organic fruits and veggies. They work with mamas who are still nursing too and even created a little nursing room for privacy! They listen to parents needs and its been great. We are happy! But most of all, my son is happy and gets so excited when he gets to his room!

We enrolled my son here same day as our tour. Ms. Ashley was so kind and accommodating considering the pinch we were in. My 4 year old loves his teacher and is making wonderful progress in the VPK program. Homemade healthy meals and snacks are a HUGE plus! Keep up the great work.

Seedlings is an absolute life saver! The staff is amazing. We’ve had a fair share of terrible experiences with places that shouldn’t be in business but seedlings has made our lives nothing short of AMAZING. My daughter loves it there. She learns so much for being so young. It makes going to work a little easier knowing my little girl is in good hands. The director Ms. Ashley is like family and that’s how all the staff is. My little girl and i love and appreciate everyone of you!!!!

We love Seedlings Academy! The care and attention that is given to every single child is incredible. They go out of their’ way to make sure all the kids feel welcome and are happy every day. The teachers are awesome about communicating with parents. I really can’t say enough good things about the whole staff at Seedlings. Thank you guys for doing what you do!!

Love seedlings. Very structured. Teachers always greet every child enthusiastically and Ms. Ashley makes sure to know every parent and child by name. Saves a ton of money because they provide diapers while my 17 month old is there for the day.

Besides the fact that my sons school is 10 mins. from me, we especially love the size of the classrooms. My son is able to connect more with the other kids & the teacher(s) are able to have more one on one time. We’ve had a couple issues since we started, but the director or owner has resolved them in a timely manner. My son yells “school!” when we come around the corner in the morning and is always full of smiles upon pickup.

I found Seedlings when my child was a year old and struggling at her old daycare. The Seedlings staff, since the very first day, has treated my child and my family with genuine kindness. With every single one of their teachers, it is evident that the top priority is my childs development and happiness. Every day she comes home, shes learned something new. And every day when I drop her off, shes genuinely excited to get to school. I would recommend this establishment to anyone.

I absolutely love Seedlings Academy. My daughter has been attending school there since Dec 2017 when she was 4 months old, now 18 months. The facility is always clean and fresh. Depending on the time of day it either smells like delicious food being cooked or like Fabulouso, vinegar or bleach (CLEAN!!) This was the best decision I ever made to take her here. She has grown and thrived developmentally and cognitively so much in the last 14 months. The teachers and staff are always happy and engaged. Their curriculum really focuses to aid and help each child thru their varying developmental stages from infancy – VPK. They foster hands on, active learning and positive affirmations in every classroom. Even infants are taught fine motor skills. In addition to their hands on curriculum, they also offer fresh, organic, home cooked meals for breakfast, lunch and snack. Along with these meals, diaper and wipes (as applicable) are all INCLUDED IN THE PRICE! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

We have been attending the Fort Myers location for about 2 years. The director is very friendly and attentive. She is also always pushing into the classrooms to supervise and help out so she is always very aware of what is going on. We have gone to multiple other daycares in the Fort Myers area and Seedlings has by far been the best.

I love the small infant room. All the diapers and wipes are provided from a high quality company!!! Which is great since I dont have to worry about running out! A pleasant surprise is that they make their own organic baby food!!!

This was a horrible experience and I dont even have a child attending. I went for a tour and it was awful, Ashley the Director was awful. She was so out of it, SO unprofessional. She was not informative and gave a depressing tour. Not just the tour, but the rest of the employees were on their phones and chit chatting the whole time. The kitchen was disgusting, food was left out everywhere and the dishes piled up. I had such high standards and was so disappointed. My toddler turns 3 in a month, uses pull ups only while she sleeps and they wanted to charge me $200 a week. I wanted to laugh in her face, SO ridiculous. Please take a tour and report this place.

My little African princess loves her school. I enrolled her last year in VPK and wrap around after meeting the owner in Cape Coral then with the director Miss Ashley in Fort Myers. From the first time I spoke to the director over the phone before my tour I was sold by her welcoming tone of voice. When I met with her and the rest of the staff I couldnt of been more happy. As a single mother you always want to know you child is well taken care of and is in a safe environment. I had a couple of situations where I could not get to pick her up on time and the director and the staff stayed with my girl till I got there. My work schedule is so crazy and working 2 jobs and at times i would have to drop her first thing in the morning before sunrise. Everyone is so wonderful and so helful. My little ntombazane has never been in daycare before and I see she has learnt so much since shes started Seedlings. My girl absolutely loves her Miss Deb who is so fantastic with all the kids. I wish I can keep her at this school for ever.

1. Management. Its nearly impossible to reach anyone over the phone. As a parent, you always want to be able to get ahold of the person/facility caring for your baby. Who is suppose to be in the front office?2. Cleanliness. The kitchen and office is disgusting. Your office is on display for all to see, why keep juice cups, trash, papers and ripped books all over the entrance of your school??..its tacky!3. Pricing. 200 a week for a 3 year old is laughable if your school has the first 2 issues as stated above. Plus, the staff is weak.. but the staff if a reflection of the management, trash.Also, i want to add that this school gives tuition discounts for 5 star reviews. Thats scary considering this preschool on google has a 4.9 out of 5 so youll never know if thats a true reflection of the quality of care..or just parents wanting a pathetic discount. That should be illegal!The owner should be ashamed of herself to buy good reviews.
