Oakland Academy

"PLEASE READ before deciding to send your child here! Teachers HIT KIDS HERE! My brother has been going here for a while but recently we've been having HORRENDOUS experiences. My brother is a three year old that had Ms. Siddiqui as his teacher. First a couple months ago she had fed him beef (in our religion we don't eat beef and had wrote it as an allergy) Imagine your child getting fed food that they're ALLERGIC to. Not just that, yesterday my brother, Brian had gone to school with no marks on his face but once he got home we noticed a blood stain and dry blood on the side of her lip near his cheek. We were concerned seeing it since he said it pained so much plus I don't think any parent would expect that. Brian even stated what happened when we had asked, he is a baby that will tell you everything! If you touch him he'll tell his parents and siblings, so Im sure whatever he said did happen. He stated that a teacher hit him and it hurt. My father had called the school to ask about it and they didn't take the situation seriously, it seemed like a joke for them. They called us in 5 minutes, I don't think the manager/principal even cared to check properly. We asked if they can confirm what exactly happened. Instead of handling the situation, they unprofessionally started blaming a 3 year innocent child for lying and making up stories? HE DOESNT EVEN KNOW WHAT LYING MEANS! When we said not to blame a child, Ms.Jenny blamed my dad of making a story up? Why would a parent make a story regarding their child getting hurt? If a teacher didnt hit him how was he bleeding, they had NO EXPLANTATION! Its ridiculous. We went back to the school and my brother was terrified seeing the teacher, when asked he stated INFRONT of the school staff what happened, he said teacher names and explained the situation. Yet the school failed to acknowledge what had occurred. Walking out of the school Ms.Jenny said do whatever you want we didn't do anything. When a parent waiting for their child had asked what happened, and we were explaining we were stopped by school staff? why? is it because they are actual at fault? YES! Beware of them, today we called before taking legal actions and they started getting disrespectful and saying that my dad is expelled from the school? Who said he goes there, no one is allowed to stop us from getting our voice heard! Please Please Please, don't let your children get tortured here, there are many better schools out there! These outdated reviews do no justice for them. Ive complained to CPS, Broward County school licensing department, ELC, Florida Department of Education and many other platforms. If your child goes here please take your time and ask them if they've ever got hit."

"The staff are really friendly, loving, and Professional. I Mean my daughter cant get enough of them, she gets upset if I pick her up early.Prior to Oakland Academy, my Daughter was very shy but now! Her overall communication and Interpersonal skills have increased tremendously.Did I mention they care about your child's well being, My Daughter has a strict diet and the Staff doesn't have a problem catering to her needs.Due to Pandemic, I love the additional steps taken to keep our child safe healthy.Being a First Responder, this is definitely a peace of mind. Thank you Oakland Academy."

"This school is the best. The directors and teachers are so nurturing. I ABSOLUTELY love Ms.Kelly and Ms.ROSA. My daughter Brianna has been there for two years now. I am devastated that she will graduate this year. I NEVER had to worry about her and I am actually a helicopter parent. They have amazing amazing amazing teachers! Ms. BRI is one of thee best she teaches shining stars! My daughter adores all of her teachers. If you are looking for a place this is it. The school is always clean, Ms. Kelly and ms. ROSA always pick up the phone, and are ALWAYS available to answer any questions, there is absolutely no fast turnaround. All the teachers remain there. It seems to good to be true but HONESTLY IT IS Not. Try this school you will NOT regret it. Trust me I am a no nonsense mom who doesn't just take anything for my child. Therefore, if i am writing this it is worth trying."

"I Love this school. My sister went here and graduated so did my daughter. The staff is great I have no issues with them. They care for your child as if they were their own. I recently put my son who is 4 and my 2 month old daughter here and my son loves it! They take good care of my two month old. I was kind of nervous putting her in daycare at such a young age but I had to go back to work. She comes home clean everyday they make sure to write down every feeding and diaper changes she has. So far she seems to be happy! I would recommend this school to anyone."

"Amazing director, staff, and school environment! My two girls have been at Oakland Academy for the past 3 years and it has been an awesome experience. I even substituted as a teacher in the baby room and the 2 year old room, and the experience was fantastic. Very thorough, clean, fair treatment of every child, truly caring and attentive staff- and this is coming from a Broward County school teacher! Miss Michelle, you and your certified teachers do inspiring work with the children and community and for that we are thankful!"
