I have used this provider for more than 6 months

My son has been at this daycare for almost three years, when he started it was Mon Petit Chou. I have had problems with teachers who are no longer there. Other then an occasional mishap I absolutely love Clinton Academy. They assisted me with getting my son potty trained. Any concerns you have about your child or something that happened Mrs. Lisa, the owner, is very good with following up and getting to the bottom of the issue and making it right. I highly recommend this daycare to anyone. My son is getting ready to go into elementary school and its bitter sweet.. I can't wait until a spot opens up for my youngest son. :)

This daycare is a joke! I took my kid out due to the lack of care this place offers. My child was always unattended an always come home dirty! Any my child was always sick! My child caught pink eye, strep throat, hand foot and mouth an had more flea bites then you could imagine from all the animals there an them not being properly taken care of. An what really sucks about this daycare is the fact that everyone knows my personal business! No professional place should allow my business to be put out on full blast like it is here. My child has also be picked up multiple times an no one ever checks IDs before my kid leaves. It aggrevas me on how much they do wrong here an dcf allows it! An omg, most of the teachers have no communication skills at all. There was multiple occasions where the teachers were down right rude an horrid to parents! I wouldn't recomend this place to anyone!!!!

I have had my child in this facility for a little over a year I have never had an issue with them. I know that lisa the owner works with parents with money but some children have government assistance. My kids both bring art work home almost daily and both of them know all their abc's,shapes,and colors my smallest one is 2 so I know theres no way the person who commented above is telling the true. I would recommend this day care to anyone and everyone ... it is by far the cleanest day care I have seen and the teachers actually look like they care about the children.

Clinton Academy located in Dade City is a bad joke of a day care. It had a lot of potential as the building is very cute and they have a ton of animals. The fact that they advertise as a Christian daycare was what originally had caught my attention, but sadly it wasn't very far into the year and a half my child attended that it was obvious this was more of a marketing ploy than an actual mission statement.
First of all, the owner Lisa is a mean, mean woman. Bully and unprofessional would be accurate descriptions. She charges everyone different prices, depending on if she likes you or not and how much money she thinks you earn. It's completely absurd. I became aware of multiple parents with children in the same class that mine was in, paying different weekly prices. The biggest difference was a girl whose child was newer than mine, was paying a whole $20 less a week than I was. I don't know if it was a power thing for her or what, but this level of immaturity should not exist in someone who has such a big influence and spends so much time with impressionable children. Lisa also has no sense of privacy, multiple times she would share my personal information with other people. Having your child in this center is equivalent to having a friend baby sit because there is very little learning going on here. Expect your child to be behind when they start kindergarten if they are attending Clinton Academy. The teachers all have there own kids attending the daycare. I'm sure I don't even need to tell you the problems that this arises. Sasha was especially lazy, if I showed up 30 minutes or more early, I would find my potty trained 4 year old with a pull up on! I'm assuming because she couldn't be bothered with assisting my daughter with turning the light on and climbing up on the toilet. My childs grandmother on her fathers side picked her up one day (which never happens because we don't get along) She informed me that no one asked her for identification or asked her any questions at all. When I stopped by to get her forgotten backpack one of the teachers said, "Oh, you know ****** is gone, right?"
I could go on all day about absolutely absurd experiences with this daycare. I think the level of unprofessionalism crosses a line into a safety issue.
