My daughter’s (2) teacher is very good and helped tremendously with the first days of school. The director (Stacy) on the other hand is not very smart and I have no idea how she got the job.

Wonderful school with kind, caring staff! My son attended for VPK and was very happy with his teacher and class and looked forward to going to school everyday. Highly recommend!

My daughter has been attending this school for the past 3 years, she loves it!! She has a speech delay, they are so patient and loving with her. I definitely recommend this school! They truly care about your kids.

We needed to find a new school for our 3 year old this past June and Cranium was highly recommended by close friends. Even during this crazy, unstable time of Covid, every staff member, teacher and director I have had contact with makes me feel like my child is not only safe but thriving. I am able to have regular Zoom meetings with his teacher if I need to and anytime I have needed questions answered, the co-directors and the Director have been so helpful and accommodating. The negative reviews really have it all wrong, and they are from years ago. During this unprecedented time of Covid when people havent been behaving at their best (as was my experience with my sons other school) everyone that I have interacted with at Cranium have gone above and beyond to provide a safe, caring, and nurturing environment for my son to flourish, and for that we are very grateful. Thank goodness we found Cranium Lake Nona!

Update to my previous review: School admin and staff have changed my view of how things are operating. I believe things may have been tough when they transitioned through their acquisition by Endeavor Schools, but everything seems to be really good now. Teachers are amazing and desk staff and director, Stacy, are very friendly and helpful. Very glad to have kept my kids here.

We attended another daycare in lake nona and transferred to Cranium. It’s so amazing. Our child absolutely LOVES to go to school everyday. This is our second year and everyone knows our daughters name, her siblings, and my husband and I. Security is top notch and they pay attention to details. Each student washes their hands when arrive to the classroom each day and nap time bedding is kept separated in personal bags to keep sanitation. My daughters hair is always fixed after nap-time and she’s always clean and happy when she comes home. She does tons of projects and is way above where she needs to be for her age in site words and other learning objectives. The staff is so friendly and care so much about each child. The kids flock to hug their teachers and other staff in the building. They do activities for Christmas, visits from the fire department for the children, and have multiple areas for playtime during the day. An indoor gym area, multiple playgrounds, and an indoor Bounce house are all rotated areas to get the kids physically active. They have music and dance lessons as-well as soccer available. We could not be happier!

I used to love this school for my kids - teachers are great, yes. But then the school leadership fires them, even ones that continue to do an incredible job. My children who attend CA are 6, 4 and 3 - they have all been loved by every teacher there and have really come out of their shells; but, then leadership rips some of them away, even on only DAY 6 of the school year. How can you judge a teachers progress with the students on Day 6?! Although I love the teachers there, my faith in leadership has declined, making me reconsider this school versus others.

My child loved attending Cranium Academy in Lake Nona. The teachers were wonderful, especially Ms. Kaitlyn, Ms. Kristen and Ms. Jessica. He was learning new things every day in a fun, interactive way. Often times he didnt want to leave when it was time to go home, at 6:00pm. Great peace of mind that the staff was looking out for the best interest of my child. Unfortunately we had to transfer as the drive to Lake Nona from our work office was difficult during rush hour for us to pick-up and drop-off.

My son attends camps here and he loves it. I like that he spends his time off from school learning in such a fun format. He doesnt even feel like its school. I recommend cranium to all my mom friends searching for camps.

Both my boys 3 years and 4 years old go to summer camp here. Not only do they love it, but my husband and I love it too. Its really important to us that our kids are in an environment where they learn and grow their minds- this place does that! I would totally send my children here throughout the school year but it would be like adding 2 more mortgage payments. If you have the ability to spend the money towards your childrens education, this place is worth your money.

Cant say enough good things about this school. Everything is fantastic; my son loves it. Hes learning so much not only academically, but also socially and personally (learning to be more independent). His teachers, Ms. Maliaza and Ms. Andrea are so great with him. Strongly considering registering my kids when theyre in grade school.

Cranium Academy is a great school! I get updates every class on what my son learned and he mentions many of the things he learns in class. The staff and teacher all do an amazing job!

This school should be the last option for anybody in Lake nona area looking for a decent education for your child and a healthy environment. The director Stacy is only interested in raising funds - even to the extent by asking parents to bring old books in exchange for dollars and put it in the class rooms. For any suggestions from parents or teachers, she is a road block. The walls in the play area inside the school is full of dust since years. If you suggest anything of this sort to the director or the owner, they become your enemies. Like all the reviews here, this school is all about money, the snacks are the cheapest and the tuition doesn’t include lunch. There are other much better options in Lake nona area now for your kids.

Visited the Cranium Academy in Lake Nona...sure, its nice and new. However for the price of tuition, you would think they would hire high-quality EDUCATORS. Nope...buyers beware - the teachers dont have college degrees!!! Crazy! For the tuition you pay, you would think the teachers would be highly qualified...they spend their money on making the school pretty, but no money spent on hiring qualified educators for you child. Dont waste your time here. Also, Stacy (the director) emphasizes that their teachers teach the children critical thinking skills...ya, ok...hire QUALIFIED educators, instead of people with babysitting experience. This school is the equivalent of kim kardashian; all show and no substance.

Nice place but - they have the TV on a good portion of the time, they give three year olds iPads in general everything that I try not to let her do and the reasons I picked this place was because I thought TV time and electronics was limited - disappointed

Very disappointed to have chosen as my sons school initiation, treating children as robots and not having the pedagogy to handle situations between them. I do not recommend it

Excellent staff great caricullum. My child loves it!!!

It is the first school my daughter attends and it has been the best training, I do not regret making the effort to see her develop her knowledge and socialize with her classmates and teachers. Thank you very much to all the group of education trainers that make up this special institute, especially to their teachers Ana and Victoria.
