Da Vinci Academy of Hunter's Creek

"Hands down to this daycare/ academy. Ms Merelyn will always listen and answers to any of your concerns, the front desk staff are very polite and they just don't sit there answering the phone no, they very hand on. Before I was recommended by a friend to this daycare I had several previos bad experiences with several day cares. I can't really describe how caring they are, how they will take care of your child's need in a very personalized way. Ms Adriana and Ms Ana are just amazing and the new caretakers that she have now they just as great! If you want you child to be in the best hands posible give them the opportunity and you will see for yourself. My sincere appreciation to All of the da Vinci academy staff."

"Our daughter attended Davinci for a year and a half. The staff have been so amazing and always addressed any concerns or questions right away. Really sad to have moved away as my daughter loved it there."

"This is for SUNCHILD ACADEMY IN HUNTERS CREEK ORLANDO FLORIDA! We did not have a good experience at this Daycare. Our son was in the Early Learners class. There were 3 regular teachers that were there almost everyday. Some helpers would also be there in the afternoons if one of the regular teachers was not there. One of the teachers Ana does not have patience. Everyday that we picked up our son from daycare she always had something negative to say about our son. He cried too much, he’s a grumpy baby, he doesn’t understand her, he doesn’t talk he makes her job harder, he’s not the only child in her class... these are just some of the things she would say. She even said to me that this daycare was not the right place for him because he can’t speak. I spoke with the director a couple times and this teacher would not stop the discrimination against our son. The reason we decided to withdraw our son from Sunchild Academy was when I came to pick my son up after work and Ana said to me that my son had a "rough day" I asked her "what does a rough day mean to her?" Because this is something she said to us often when picking him up... She went on to say "He has been crying so much all day, he did not sleep during nap time, all he does is cry, he is not the only child in my class I can not only pay attention to him, he does not talk so I don't know what's wrong him, I am not a mind reader I can not read his mind, but something is wrong with him". This was it! This was the last straw. We could not allow the verbal abuse and discrimination to continue from her. I payed extra for the live camera feed and I saw my son sleeping that day, he is usually one of the first to go down for naptime. So she was lying to me. I left that day with tears in my eyes very upset, walked passed the director who did not even call me to see what had occurred. I had a much longer review but somehow it keeps getting removed. I posted it to their Facebook page and they took down their Facebook page. If you have questions you can ask me and I’ll tell you everything that happened. Unless your child is the most obedient and perfect child, I wouldn’t recommend this place. He was newly 2 years old when we enrolled him and had typical 2 year old behavior but according to Ana “something is wrong with him” Since taking him out, he has flourished, saying words and full sentences. He is a different happier child. Looks can be deceiving, even with cameras this lady would lie to me about my son, some of this staff should not be working with children because they do not have the love and patience to do so. I’m sharing our experience so no other child or family has to go through what we went through at this center."

"We had our daughter in for about 2.5 months. The staff are friendly and care about your child. I really enjoyed the updates app and the camera option so you can check in. It gave me peace of mind. On the negative side, sickness is a real concern. I understand that kids in daycare get sick. We were not prepared for sickness every other week that required recovery from 2 days to a full week at a time. Because of the "pay no matter what" policy, we ended up paying for about the same time she was out of class as she was in. So while $260 per week seems fair initially, it really is about double that because of sick time, unless your child never gets sick. This is a very frustrating model. I feel there should at least be a discount for sickness or closures. We pulled her out and the teachers seemed sad, but the administration really didn't acknowledge us. I guess it's a business and they can just easily replace us, but it is a little frustrating to have this experience and not have them try to remedy the situation or offer something to keep us enrolled. So keep these things in mind before choosing Da Vinci."

"my daughter Isadora started attending in November 2020 with 17 months and it has been an excellent experience! In all the time that she has been attending Sunchild Academy she has never been crying, her happy face when she arrives, sighs and takes a deep breath gives her a happy smile, because she knows that she is expecting a fun day of learning and games. with teachers and other children. She doesn't even say goodbye to me when I leave her in the morning because she comes in excited to meet her teacher and her friends and she doesn't look at me to say goodbye to her, she learned to eat alone at home and that's why she hasn't. She had no problems eating herself at day Care, the team of teachers, caregivers and administrative staff is very professional, careful in dealing with children and parents, I want to thank and congratulate them. . They strive to do their best to care for and teach our children! Relying on the team and their teaching and care methodologies from day one, the nursery is neat and welcoming. I have always had the confidence to leave my daughter at Sunchild Academy"
