I have used this provider for more than 6 months

Horrrrrrrible! Owner Viena Hurdle is a GREEDY woman! There's a new teacher there every week and theirs been 3 directors in one month! Ms Yet Ms Kay & Ms Suzanna are the best. One of her teachers took the poop off my daughter and left the same underwear on. The other mother wasn't lying about this daycare charging for EVERYTHING If your late its $10 a minute per child! My 1 1/2 year old was never w her age group always with 3 yr olds. I would never recommend this place for NO CHILD!

Disappointment Jan 12, 2012

My child has been attending this school for about 3 years. They charge for every single little thing. The children must wear uniforms or they will not be excepted into the classroom. They are not leniant and have some of the worst teachers I have ever met. You never know where your child is at and they never are with the same teacher. You make a complaint and nothing gets done about anything. Save your money they are not even worth a penny. There are a few teachers that are good at least in k2 but the rest do not have the training to even deal with themselves. Trully disappointing. I give it one star because it used to be a good school but not any longer!!!"

Happy Parent Jul 27, 2011

2 of my children have gradutate from the VPK program at A Brighter Future.

First of all the VPK teacher is AWESOME as well as her assistant.  She is patient, loving, and very experienced. 

I enrolled my children at A Brighter Future because of the VPK scores that they earned during the past 3 years.

Not only is the VPK program great, but I love the school!  The teachers are wonderful.  They really care about their students.  Every child receives a daily sheet at the end of the day detailing their progress.

I think the price is reasonable.  The school is a Christian school therefore the childr of their curriculum is taught out of books that need to be paid for by the parent.  Like any school material need to be paid for, pencils, paper, markers, scissors, crayons and crayon boxes ect and more. 

To the unhappy parent, I don't see things they way that you do.  I love the school.

By the way my child loves the summer program.  The class goes on field trips once a week, and make many arts and crafts through out the week.

Disturbed Parent Jun 15, 2011

They fail to meet FL Daycare requirements with the ratio o child to teacher on a daily basis.

Their facility is dirty. The rugs are rarely vacuumed and the walls are filty. The refrigerators are sticky and unsanitary. Toys are old, raggety and covered in bacteria. It never smells clean.

They charge an arm and a leg for annual registration fees. It is $150 PER CHILD and an annual supply fee of $75 then an additional summer supply fee of $40 per child. They have never been able to justify this outrageous amount.

They don't do enough arts and crafts with the kids. They only use copy paper, a paper plate now and then, and once in a while construction paper. They even failed to do Mother's Day crafts this year.

Their summer program is a joke.

Now despite my rating, the teachers are great. Kids love them. The teachers have confided a few time that they know this facility violates code and are instructed otherwise. The owner is a greedy woman trying to run a top daycare but falling short on MANY levels. I am in the process of finding another daycare.
