An Apple a Day Academy 1050 South Tuttle Avenue, Sarasota, FL 34237

"Unfortunately my wife and I made the decision to remove my son from this daycare because we were very disappointed one day when they denied access to my 13 month old son just because he arrived 10 minutes after the door closed. We arrived at 9:10 am and at 8:25 am we sent a message letting the staff know that my son was going to be running behind and they even responded back saying “ no problem” however, when I arrived with my son 10 minutes late the owner blonde short hair, she rudely told me that I was late and my son was not able to stay the day. Once I mentioned that someone had responded back to my message she started to look at me like I was crazy and making things up as she looked around at her office staff and were all trying to figure out who it was that responded back to me. I then left with my son and as I was putting him back in the car she then came out and told me leave him. Very poor communication on the staffs behalf, and very sad that they could not let my son stay the day just cause we were running a few minutes behind."

"The Montessori director is the most unprofessional, rude, and disrespectful human I have encountered in decades. With traffic around the area we arrived at 9:06 am and our son was denied admission for the day due to the 9 am cut off after being on time for months on end. In addition the comments she makes if you are anywhere close to 9 am demonstrate her lack of empathy and compassion for both our 2.5 year old and parents alike. I do not recommend this overpriced daycare unless you would like religious adherence to over promising and under delivering across the board. I wish I could rate this a zero."

"We have been working with An Apple A Day Academy for many years and it has always been such a joy! The director is fantastic! The teachers are so kind and helpful!"

"Many schools claim to put your kids first over fiscal interests, but few actually can prove it time and time again. AADA is just that and more! Friendly faces greet my family every day and every single one of the staff members take the time to truly get to know my kids. Without a doubt, I’d recommend this school to anyone!"

"Professional. Kind. Compassionate. Honest. Friendly. Fun. My child has gone to AADA for 3 years and she and I both absolutely love it! Their mission of learning through play, their Green initiative, and 100% organic menu make them STAND OUT amongst any other pre-school in town."
