"The best school i have ever encountered! Every single administrator cares so much for the well being of your children. They also are super organized and don’t miss one step or beat on anything!"
"My son went to this preschool for almost 3 years. Up until the last year he was there (VPK) my experience was great. My family's experience with Pembroke Pines Early Development has been nothing short of a heart-wrenching ordeal during my son's last year there. I feel compelled to share our story to caution other parents who may consider enrolling their children in this establishment. Our time at there was marked by a complete lack of empathy, professionalism, and understanding of our child's unique needs. First and foremost, the preschool's suggestion that our 4-year-old child should be medicated was not only shockingly inappropriate but also deeply distressing. Instead of addressing our child's behavioral challenges with care and compassion, the staff seemed quick to jump to conclusions and offer a one-size-fits-all solution. Such a recommendation should never be made lightly, especially for a young child, and it left our family feeling bewildered and anxious. To add to the emotional turmoil, Pembroke Pines Early Development attempted to kick our child out. This abrupt decision was made without considering alternative solutions or attempting to work collaboratively with us as parents to support our child's development. It was a devastating blow to our family, and it left us feeling helpless and abandoned. Furthermore, the communication from Pembroke Pines Early Development throughout this ordeal was abysmal. Instead of engaging in a constructive dialogue with us, the staff seemed to place the blame squarely on our shoulders, suggesting that we were not doing enough as parents. This judgmental and accusatory attitude added to our distress and left us feeling unsupported during an already difficult time as I was dealing with the death of my father a week prior. I strongly urge any parents considering Pembroke Pines Early Development to exercise caution and explore other options that prioritize the well-being and development of children. No family should have to endure the emotional pain and distress that our family experienced at this preschool."
"I can't say enough about this center. My grandson is a second generation student at this preschool. The teachers and staff are wonderful and care about the development and growth of the children. Ms. Becky and Ms Giselle welcome my little guy every day with a smile and encouragement for the day ahead. My grandson has learned so much. The curriculum is creative and it keeps him engaged, stimulated, and active while also making it fun to learn. It's an amazing school to learn and grow. He looks forward to going to preschool each day, loves his teachers and classmates and is ready to take on kindergarten. I would recommend Pembroke Pines Early Development Center Central for anyone looking for a safe and exceptional child learning center."
"We are so thankful to have our son go to this school. As a teacher myself, I could not have asked for teachers like Ms. Becky and Ms. Giselle. They are absolutely AMAZING!!!! Same can be said for Ms. Mimi and Mrs. Angie in the front office. They are warm and so helpful. I feel that my son is safe, well taken care of and I know I can depend on anyone at the school to make sure all of our children have the best level of care they can."
"This school has really been amazing and the best thing that we could’ve asked for our son. After having been at another program for 2 years, we can say this is far and away the best environment to send your young ones. Ms. Becky and Ms. Giselle have been so kind, attentive and overall fantastic with our son. We’re so incredibly fortunate to have had them this year and wish we could take them with us to kindergarten next year. If you’re wondering where to send your child, make no other choice but Pines Early Developmental Center!"
