Please please please reconsider if you are thinking of sending your child to this daycare provider. I highly suggest that you read the inspection notes and fine imposed on then for children left unattended. Our children attended Ovation for approximately 4 weeks. The last straw occurred when our children went missing and were found hiding in a storage closet. Our children were constantly sick and returned home filthy daily. The teachers are incapable of managing their classrooms and ensuring the safety of your children. Beware of the list of center supplies they also expect you to purchase that total over $200 for two children. I know there are not many options for our children currently but please choose wisely and do not make the same mistake that we did.

My son has been going here for two years now and he absolutely loves it here!

Ovation is great and the teachers are amazing! The new location adds time to my morning commute but it is worth it because of the teachers. My child has been here for 2 years and has learned so much in that time. They work on so many skills with the kids and I love how committed they are to the kids. The app is great too, I love knowing what my child is doing, and I love when they send pictures so I can see how happy my child is during the day! Would recommend!

Love this daycare/pre school. It is a small independently owned. The teachers are great. If I’m working on something with my son (potty, manners etc) they will help reinforce it. They also let me know when he is being bad/mean so I can correct it at home. I love how personally they are and that they truly care about the kids.

My child has been going to Ovation for 8 months now! My husband and I love the fact that the building is so secure. We love the app on our smartphone that allows us to see what our child is doing throughout the day! The play ground has nice equipment and is fenced! So we know our child is safe while outside with his peers. My childs teacher is very sweet and informative! The director is nice and easy to talk with! Ovation is an all around 5 start school; academically, safety, cleanliness, and educated staff! We love Ovation Learning Center!

I love bringing my son here! He has been here since he was 10 months and i love how they have an app and shows you what your child has done through out the day and you write notes back and forth and photos and videos of your little one etc. It just shows you 8+ worker and 200+ kids that everyone’s child is not left out. These women are super women.

I started going to Ovation for 7-8 years ago & still go on school breaks. It’s a great place to spend summer breaks also. The teachers are very nice & always remember me. Mrs Lanette lends a hand if we need anything. I love my Ovations Family ❤️❤️!

We LOVE ovation! My daughter has learned so much since being there. She loves going in everyday and I dont feel anxious dropping her off because she is so loved there by every teacher .

Ovation is dedicated to children. I love the fact that it is an arts driven daycare! The facility was bright, clean, and fun. The staff was caring and engaged. The owner ensures that a loving environment is provided. I highly recommend!

Love, Love, Love this place.. I wouldnt want my children any where else. Its more than a school. There love and compassion for children is awesome. My daughter is a pre teen now and the wonderful memories and talented and knowledgeable staff have helped mold her into the remarkable young lady she is grown into. ❤️❤️i

Love, love, love Ovation! I am that parent that said Id NEVER do daycare with my babies yet here we are going on year two. I have two toddlers attending & wouldnt leave them with anyone else. The teachers are amazing. I know first hand they put the kids first. Its not just a daycare but a place for these young minds to absorb and learn every thing they can through play, classroom instruction, art, role play, etc. They have started the foundation of learning in my two little girls minds. Its not every day that a 3 year old is on the same education level as her 6 year old friends but my girl is thanks to all the work Ovation puts into their children. Ovation Rocks

I love Ovation! They have exceptional, attentive staff that are always striving to give the children an educational advantage. I would definitely recommend them.

We absolutely love this place. The staff us so attentive to all of our needs. Great curriculum. It is clean and tidy. Love the new building.

We love the girls at Ovation Learning Center. Alexis loves going to school and learning something new daily. Definitely recommend 100%.

We love ovation, it has an arts school environment with a great curriculum. The teachers truly care about the children and my son loves going to school there. I love that they send home activity and meal calendars each month.

My son loves Ovation. I toured a large number of daycares before picking Ovation. The teachers are super nice and personable. The communication is great. Teachers always take time to let me know how his day was. I would recommend Ovation to anyone looking for a daycare in the area.

Most amazing place ever. They have done amazing things with my daughter. She has grown so much.

Great staff! Perfect learning environment for little ones of all ages. Ovation Learning Center provides growth & insight on learning for each individual age group throughout thier growing years. My babies love it here, and are advanced beyond thier age with the programs they do here! But a big thank you to wonderful staff for providing this exceptional opportunity for my little ones.

I have never wanted to leave my child in a daycare-style facility. Never. However, after meeting the owner, seeing the care she has put into the facility itself, and talking to others who have been here, I can say with all honesty that I cant wait for my children to enter the doors of the Ovation Learning Center. Thrilled Gulfport has such a wonderful and safe place for children to be when they cannot be at home.

I wasnt going to leave a review out of respect for being kind, but then I thought about how LITTLE respect I received when no one called me to let me know that my daughter had gotten urinated on by another child on the playground at this facility. My child has gotten harmed twice in a ONE MONTH period at this facility. If you love your child, DONT bring them here. The first time my toddler was pushed down on the playground by another kid, and her nose was bloody and bruised. She couldnt take school pictures the next week, let alone perform in a New Orleans parade with her dance team because of her bruised nose. Everyone asked me what happened and looked on in horror when I told she had gotten hurt at preschool. I let that situation slide because kids will be kids, but the last straw came when a young boy held my daughters head down on the playground and urinated on her from the neck down. I was disgusted and wondered how this could happen if teachers were watching because it takes time to do all of this. I dont know if my child was a victim of bullying and no one cared, etc. but what I do know is that supervision of your child on the playground is not top of the line here. My daughter was at a facility for 2 years before we moved to this area and came home with ONE bruise on her leg from falling down, and she had a band-aid for it. At this facility...my daughters nose was bloody when I picked her up the first time with no band-aid, etc. Her wound still had sand on it (I have pictures). Yes things do happen at daycare facilities, but there are some facilities better at watching children than others. I am going to tell the truth no matter how nice the previous reviews sound. Im currently working on a Masters degree, and working constantly, and knowing that my daughter was being harmed put even more stress on my life. Im so blessed to have her at another facility where the kids are nice, and the staff makes sure all the kids are nice and play properly with one another regardless of any differences, because that was all I wanted in the first place. I wanted her to be somewhere nice for a year so that she can graduate from preschool, but I didnt get that at Ovation, and I dont advise enrolling your child here.

First time mommy is stressful enough. First daycare for your kid is beyond that! I’m very glad we decided for our son to go to Ovation. The staff is friendly. The tuition is fairly priced. The teachers are interactive with the kids. They have the brightwheel app which keeps us anxious parents up to date on what’s going on! So far in the month my son has been there, everything has been great!

This is our first daycare facility experience and we have been very pleased. The staff is very friendly and they keep us in loop of things going on with our son.It would not let me put a new review up but I wanted to update my feelings it is two years later from my other review we are still in love with Ovation my son learns new things all the time and has made many friends. He also calls his teachers his best friend.

Need more preschools like this one on the coast. Truly one of a kind - of all the schools I checked to place my babies (oh believe me I checked them all) Ovation Learning Center was home. Mrs Brandy and her crew treated my children as though they were family and my girls really appreciated that. The curriculum and sprit the center provided more than prepared my girls for big school- I believe Ovation to be a large part of why my girls excel in school still today! Your most precious gifts are our children and they all deserve to be cared for and loved like they would be here.

My daughter has been going to school here for about a year. She has gone from being super clingy and attached to barely waving goodbye to me in the morning as shes running off to find her friends. She talks about her friends and teachers at home. She sings songs and writes (shes 3). These women take the time to calm her on her bad mornings and encourage her interact and learn. This is NOT just a daycare. This is NOT a glorified babysitter. This is a school that kids are excited to attend.

Working with Brandy, I have seen the passion she radiates when it comes to working with kids, teaching, and spreading her love for the arts. In school systems today, I feel like the arts are often some of the least prioritised aspects in education despite being super important for everyone. Because of this, Ovation Learning Center is really an asset to our community. I love that Ovation Learning Center is cultivating talent and creativity by encouraging these young children!

They are the best! My girls love it there and have learned so much!! Highly recommend

The facility Did not look clean. I witnessed filthy carpet, chipped wall paint that is within hands reach of a child, one of the workers McDonalds coffee cup on a window sill that was in arms reach of a child. The windows had dirty hand prints and crayon marks all over it. I saw a water stain on the ceiling above the kids washing station from a water leak.There was trash by the playground. My children do dont attend here nor will they ever. I feel that as popular as this place is the owner should provide a more sanitary facility for little ones and not once Did I see the facility owner while I was there visiting.

I work and live in Biloxi but drive to Gulfport everyday for my twins to go to Ovation! We love all the staff! They really care and offer so many great opportunities for the children all in one convenient place.

My son graduated from here 7 years ago!! He is now a happy intelligent gifted student in the 5th grade!! Ovation teachers were so good with my boy and made it easy on me to go to work everyday ! He excelled and learned so much, Im now having a daughter and will not put her anywhere else !!!

My kids have been going here since 2010. The staff is wonderful and so is the environment. We love ovation!!!!

From the owner to the staff these people are amazing. Having known most of them personally, I will not leave my children any where else.

Mrs.Brandy and her staff are beyond loving, caring, and supportive of all kids that attend. There is no other preschool in Gulfport that will love your children as much as Ovation will!

DONT TAKE YOUR KIDS HERE. My daughter is ADHD and has to take medication 2 times a day while she was there the Caretakers were directly handed medication daily by myself, yet after 2.5 weeks of my daughter going there her prescription medication bottle came home without a label. I was told that my daughter had got a hold of the bottle and peeled the entire label off the bottle ( mind you my daughter doesnt touch the bottle when we are at home) but the real thing that alerted me to the horrible supervision is how can a child get into contact with prescription medication in the first place and then be left alone long enough to get the entire label off like there had never been a label on the bottle in the first place. Im sorry I have sat and tried to get an entire label off an old medication bottle and it has taken me well over 10 mins to get it off to make it look like it wasnt on the bottle in the first place so that tells me a child (regardless of who it was was unattended and with prescription meds for well over 10 mins). Then #2 They charged charges to my account and didnt inform me that i would have charges since when she was enrolled i have emails stating what i would pay to enroll her and then weekly charges not an additional charge and then to top it off they didnt tell me till 12 days after they charged it too my account. Sorry that is horrible business practices.
