Absolutely love everyone at this daycare. My daughter and all my nieces went here since 1 year old and we all have had a great experience. It’s sad that one video has brought the daycare negative light. The grandmother of the child actually works at the school. It’s a wonderful preschool with sweet caring teachers. 100% recommend.
I cannot thank Around The World Learning Center enough for their influence on my child's growth and success.
We adore you All so much and appreciate all your care and commitment to our child's education.
You're one in a million.
I'm a full time worker and a grandmother of 12 grandchildren. As much as I would like to stay home and watch them I can't. So I try to be involved in looking for their every day care and I have had experiences with private child care and public child care. When I was helping to look for one of my grand child daycare I did some research and came across this daycare. After careful review and some further investigation I realized this bad and disgusting ranting is nothing more than a unstable person. Like someone else made cleared we as parents and grandparents take our kids to places like chuky cheese or Disney and our children have different reactions to life size characters. It was not done with bad intentions so to get on here and keep adding to negatively is ridiculous. Every day my grandchild comes home talking about something new she did or learned. At the end of the week she actually brings home the work she does with letters or numbers. So before passing judgment do your research.
I’m a current employee who was a a stay at home mother for 2 year. I started at primrose but didn’t like the big school there were to many kids and they mainly focused on the money. I was looking for another job when I came across Around the world. Applying here and getting hired has been the best things that’s happened to me. Ms.Joni treats us as a family and makes working a treat. My daughter also attends and they have her advanced based on her knowledge and maturity level. Instead of keeping her behind they help her improve daily. If I had to do it again I would definitely choose Around the World. I read these horrible review before even applying and it’s no where near what they saying. We love our student like our own. And care about teaching as well as watching over their little hearts

The owner Joan and her staff are amazing. I have had 3 children that have attended this daycare over the past several years. Even now when they are teenagers they see Ms Joanie and run to her and give her hugs. My children love her and their teachers. She teaches children academics, manners, respect and have fun with them. They always love their lunches and snacks!!! Top rated daycare!! I always recommend to my coworkers and family. It's hard to find a great daycare to trust with your children so glad I did!
Exploiting children for social media fame. Taunting kid on social media. Shame on this daycare a 20 year old employee posted the video of a kid scared of the Easter bunny violating the contract not to post videos or pics online. Defamation.
I really wish their was a way to press charges against the 20 year old employee. I also wish you all would get your license revoked. Oh and here's your warning this daycare doesn't follow their agreements. The child was NOT to be photographed or recorded and yet, she was. I bet there are many others things that go on there
As a former employee of Ms I, Around the world learning center is one of the best day care facility in the Kissimmee area.It’s owned and operated by phenomenal women. The center is runned by dedicated staff that treats each child as there own, it a safe, clean and structured environment. It’s a well orginized faculity. So to address the elephant in the room. Its was unfortunate that a child was frightened by a Easter Bunny custom, it was NOT a malicious act towards the child,It’s more like poor judgment on the staff who posted the video, who had no business posting it in the first place, hens said video has gone viral. No immediate danger was present. This has spiraled into someone outrageous, and it shouldn’t have. The irony in this whole situation is the child grandmother is a staff and was there to consoul the child.
I’m not one to write reviews , but I have never been so extremely satisfied and blessed to have found this gem of a business! The staff is kind knowledgeable and loving towards all of the children! When I first came in to tour the daycare my daughter did not want to leave, she gravitated towards one of the teachers “Mrs.I” and was so comfortable around her I was in complete shock, because she is normally very shy and reserved around new people. The staff has helped my daughter blossom into a social butterfly and has learned so much in the past year since she has been attending Around the world Learning Center. I want to sincerely thank the entire staff for always being so welcoming and understanding and kind! My daughter was in the classroom when the Easter bunny came and raved about the entire day of fun activities, crafts and interactive games that they played that day. I find it hard to believe that because two children were upset that adults are acting like they themselves haven’t laughed at their own children for being scared of something so minuscule! I have a video of my daughter terrified with Mickey and Minnie Mouse at Disney world, and so do plenty of other people! I waited an hour in line for that photo and 30 seconds later when the mouse was out of sight she was perfectly fine. Don’t see me getting upset at Disney for frightening little children and them turning around and paying $30 for my own photo ????. Anyways Thank you Around the world for taking pride in what you do and helping many children progress into successful and respectful students!
To all of the individuals who have commented on this particular situation? Do you even have children who attend the daycare? I am sure that you don’t. You should be ashamed of yourselves for supporting lies and speaking against such wonderful people who have loved and cared for the children of our community. You don’t even know the whole story yet you have such harsh things to say. How could you possibly think that you have the whole story when you have seen 5 seconds of a video.
It’s interesting how people laugh about kids getting scared on America’s Funniest home video’s and no one is offended, that the parents are the ones that are doing this to the children. Millions of children go to Disney and are frightening by the characters and no one say anything about it. You all need to grow up and realize that a reputable child care center would never intentionally seek to scare a child.
One of you mentioned that what they did was ” abuse” I suggest you look up the the definition of abuse: it means
use (something) to bad effect or for a bad purpose; misuse.
2.treat (a person or an animal) with cruelty or violence, especially regularly or repeatedly.
1. the improper use of something.
2.cruel and violent treatment of a person or a
Having the Easter Bunny visit does not fall into the category or fit the definition for abuse.
The daycare did not maliciously set out to scare that sweet little girl. They were celebrating like all daycare do by having the Easter Bunny visit the Children. Please explain to me how that fits the definition of abuse.
I have used this daycare and will sending people to them because the people who are there love theses children and have always strived to care for the children and even the families.
Surai’s Family, you should also be ashamed that you are lying about what has happened and after all that the people at the daycare has done for you! One thing is for sure GOD knows what has happened.
Pathetic excuse for a child's care center. You all should be ashamed of yourselves.
I have never been so upset as when I saw the video of the child so frightened by the easter bunny. The child was absolutely terrified and no one tried to help her. Horrible, horrible!!! I feel SO bad for her and her family. They deserve a huge apology and more.
Apalling, disgusting behavior and license should be revoked. There is nothing else to call it but abuse, how could you not console a child in teror like that? What is wrong with you people? You abused her then you breached privacy protocol,no I don't think you should be in business. It wasn't funny, it was shameful.
To the owner,
You are lucky Surai's family didn't sue you for breaching of privacy agreement.
A child terrorized should be consoled and loved, not used a subject of a shameful public video. Frankly, the provider should be fired, and Around the World Learning Center should lose it license for child abuse. What else can you call it?
