I have three kids attending Surfside Academy and they love it there. Dont get discouraged by other reviews some people just love to exaggerate. They have been going there since they were babies and now they are close to turning 6 years old. Ms. Arista and Ms. Cindy work at the front desk and are always answer my questions and always calling me back if they ever get busy. Ms. A and Ms. Aylen are amazing teachers. They also supply food and baby formula... anything that you can think of. If you need a reliable and nurturing daycare this is the place!

My son Jeffrey started with them when he was 16 weeks he’s now eight months and unfortunately he has to go to a new school because we moved but these people are the best from the front desk to all of the teachers I pray that the daycare that Jeffrey is going to works for him but if not I’m going to send him back and just have to take that drive every morning and afternoon everyone is so great... his teacher cried when I picked him up yesterday and I cried as well you guys are great keep up the good work😍

My grandchildren love the school. They have been there for three years and we couldnt say enough great things about it. The teachers are very caring and the director is always kind and friendly.

I am so thankful for the caring teachers and staff at Surfside Academy. They really love the children and it shows.

The best teachers and staff! My kids love the school.

DO NOT SEND YOUR CHILDREN TO THIS FACILITY! My daughter attended surfside for after school care. There were multiple times when she came home telling me a teacher had said something inappropriate. For instance, she was called a baby for getting upset and crying. She was called a baby by a grown woman and teased about it in front of other children. I brought it up with staff and was told it would be addressed, but I doubt it ever was. The straw that broke the camels back, however, is when my daughter’s kindergarten teacher wrote me to let me know that my daughter and another child who attended surfside were discussing “juvey”. They went on to tell the teacher that the people at surfside told them that they were going to get put in juvey for misbehaving and that they would only see their families once a week. They went on to say that the facility had their own juvey located behind the front office and they would get locked up there. Imagine the terror a small child would experience believing that they could get locked away from their loved ones. This was not a simple “hey, juvey exists and if you’re really bad you might go there one day”. These women led the children to believe that THEY could actually lock the children up in the facility’s own juvey. It was conveyed in a threatening way in order to scare the children into submission. When I went to address it with the director, she actually laughed and shrugged it off as a misunderstanding. She went as far as to BLAME a group of kindergarteners for the entire incident stating that they were harassing one of the elderly teachers there and “being really nasty to her”. I have no way of knowing exactly what behavior was so troubling to the elderly teacher or what exactly transpired that day, but according to my daughter it was snack time and some of the children weren’t sitting on the rug waiting for their snacks; they were instead up and playing. The teacher got frazzled and started to cry. This is the point where the younger teachers came to a grown woman’s rescue by threatening a group of school children. Please understand that my daughter was terrified. She and the other boy in her kindergarten class both cried when they were talking to the teacher about it. The little boy even told the teacher that he had a nightmare about juvey. I had to pull my daughter out of the aftercare program and scramble to find a new program at the end of the school year. I had to take time off work to do so. I had prepaid for a few weeks prior to the incident. I called and politely requested a refund multiple times and was repeatedly told “someone will get back to you”. These are not people you should trust with your children. The teaching staff is not held accountable for their actions, the smug director attempts to cover up misdoings and they have zero integrity.
