I cannot say enough great things about this school. Both my boys attend and we absolutely love it! All of the staff treat each child with such love and care I feel great sending my kids there. They also have a great blend of academics and fun. My kids have learned so much, I feel great about their academic skills going into kindergarten. This school also offers after care and camps which are SO fun. They do lots of fun activities and create such joyous childhood memories. I appreciate everything and everyone at Ms. Claudia's!

Very disappointing how anyone can write a review toward a daycare and much more toward any teacher and or caretaker… I take my kids there and it’s been over 1.5yrs Kids get sick always at daycares and or school that is not the school but other kids are sick and due to the parents having to work yes germs spread … pictures videos of your kids this is a modern new way not every daycare unless it does not have many kids can have that extra to bring parents to enroll their child … I would rather have nothing special but to know our kids are safe and not abused . If kids hear or have parents saying negative words about their school or teacher they will only feel that they can share anything bad since they are hearing it from a parent . 17 years of an establishment is not your norm especially when they have never had a report for abusing or neglect for the kids …all establishment whether it’s a store a school or any business have their policies and if the school is not a fit then just move to the next but leaving such nasty untruthful comments is very sad since I have 2 toddlers attending there since they were 2 yrs old I believe we have enough hatred in this world today and venting as an adult and parent due to a lack of communication with any of the teachers tells it all So I end with think before acting or venting hatred on what took. 17 yrs to build to feel entitled to say your feelings or opinions because you don’t like them a child that has not been abused or neglected should be the end result

My son Marshall has attended this Academy since he was 2 years of age.. he is 6 years old now.. words cannot describe how grateful and happy I am for Ms Claudia and all of her staff ..some child care companies are just in business and very few love the business they are in… I’ll say it a thousand times over this Academy loves everything to do with Kids .. They actually go above and beyond for all the kids..it’s Miami best kept secret for child care companies The best Harris!!!!!

It is a blessing to attend Ms. Claudia's. My daughter has been here since age 7. Everyone stays until they age out. Ms. Claudia offers aftercare and let me tell you, my daughter has been the happiest since attending MCVA. I drive an hour just so my daughter can enjoy herself and create long lasting friendships and memories. Summer camp is the absolute best pool days, bounce houses, field trips, STEM are just some the activities. The staff is very professional treats each child as if that child were their own. As a former staff who still volunteers we are like family. Safety and education is our top priority. Preschool-KG are learning sight words, associating letters to sounds which eventually leads to reading. Ms. Claudia has served her community and even teaches the preschoolers about giving back and community service by doing annual turkey and toy drives during the holiday season.
