Blue Summit Academy 19215 Livingston Avenue, Lutz, FL 33559

"Andes is truly a special place. We have been so happy with the quality of care and education for our two children ages 2 and 4 who have been attending this school for over a year now. Our kids always march happily and confidently into school and come out again with smiles on their faces. The facility is beautiful and clean, the outdoor play area is wonderfully shady and very spacious, the teachers are so loving and patient, and they serve fresh, hot lunch every day made with real wholesome foods (not processed "kid" food - this is super important to me!) and the children happily eat it. I love that they are both learning a second language and are attending a school that clearly values and nurtures diversity. The director, Mrs. Mercedes, is just wonderful. You can tell they treat the children with respect and care for them like they would their own family. The curriculum seems very broad, with the kids learning everything from table manners, to music & art, to sensory play (in addition to the standard reading, writing, numbers, etc.). The staff put so much time and effort into special events and celebrations like Halloween parades, Christmas concerts, Mother's & Father's Day parties, Graduation, etc. We toured many daycares that were closer to our home and therefore more convenient, but we are so happy with our choice to send our kids to school at Andes. It brings such peace of mind to working parents to know their kids are safe, loved, and nurtured each day."

"Andes Smart is an excellent daycare. The teachers and staff are awesome. They involve the family and community with their weekly activities such as Friday breakfast, Thursday’s fine dining, and so much more. Such an outstanding pre school/vpk experience for primary age."

"After researching dozens of daycare/schools and many tours, my husband and I always came back to Andes in our conversations. The facility is immaculate, bright and cheerful. There is nothing more reassuring than knowing your child is happy and safe when being dropped off. Everyone is so friendly, helpful, understanding and incredible here. When you walk in everyone knows your name and your child's name. We have always been able to openly communicate concerns, compliments, needs and requests without any issues. The school Director, Miriam, is the absolute best. There is always communication with the parent app and we love watching our son on the nanny cameras. Our child loves going to school, adores his teachers and is flourishing with all of curriculum scheduled activities. We couldn’t have asked to find a better school in the area that provides an amazing nurturing and educational environment. We highly recommend ASA!"

"My wife and I are on our third and final child (LOL), and so we are also on our third round of preschool childcare. Our preference is to remain in the same preschool throughout our child's Early Childhood development. As a result we are very careful during our selection process. We discovered Andes Smart Academy because of its proximity to our family. My wife and I were truly blown away, starting from the road. The attention to detail and desire for excellence could be seen upon arriving on campus. After our and initial tour we went home to compare our options and decided Andes Smart was the best fit for our son. He is only one year old and is particular about who he allows to hold him. Day one our son jumped into the arms of Ms Miriam as well as his teacher. It warms our heart that everyday he runs into school with a smile on his face. We are sure we have found the place our little one will grow to become a big boy. Our choice was based on environment, cleanliness, curriculum, friendliness, technology, security, price, outside play area, and food choice (organic). We highly recommend Andes Smart Academy!"

"Both my boys have been attending Andes since Sept 2018 and they LOVE going to this school! The teachers are affectionate and loving towards the kids as well as fun and energetic. The director Miriam really puts her heart and soul into this school, it shows everyday. We love the live feed cameras and the constant pictures and updates of what the kids are doing throughout the day. It is always a family oriented atmosphere, they invite extended family to some of the many events they have throughout the year. We are so happy with our decision to enroll here."
