European Academy Of Early Education

My daughter has been going here since she was 2 in the toddler class. She is now entering Kindergarten. I can not say enough positive things about our experience here over the past 3 years. My daughter LOVES going to school. She is excelling in reading, math, social skills and etiquette. My younger daughter will also be joining this year. Highly recommend this school. :)

No one at this business is licensed. This is simply a private business. This is not a school. It is advertised as an academy for learning. The employee in charge has no certifications or license. Has never been a Principal elsewhere. Has no gifted expertise or licensure. There is tremendous turnover at this business. There are no benefits to the employees. No healthcare, no 401k, etc. Employees work here as they do not have a state license to teach at a typical school in the Florida School system. None of them have any “Gifted training or certification.” The reason there are no names, bio’s and education credentials on the website of this business is because the employees do not have a teaching license. Private institutions do not have the same requirements and rules. They set their own rules and are governed by themselves. The state has no control. If you put your child here know in advance they are not getting taught by licensed teachers. This is like a daycare with some instruction along with no mandates or requirements. The owner is a silent entrepreneur. Is rarely seen at the business. They live nearby in a mansion on the water. Beware!

Moving to the area from Europe we were delighted to find this little gem and immediately signed up all of our four children. They enjoyed the amazing facility and friendly staff right up to the first grade. I will never forgive myself for not following my gut instinct as a mother and not getting them moved elsewhere after Kindergarten. I knew the first grade teacher was sarcastic and harsh, but I did not realize how hateful she was. They had to endure so much bullying from this teacher, they used to come home in tears. And the worst part is that this ‘school’ is actually not part of our FL educational establishment, it is just a private business so it is not even regulated and has no governing body, so there is no rules and no accountability. The teachers do not have valid certifications. Many people learned this the hard way when applying for Pine View and discovered that their child’s grades have been altered and seriously jeopardized the application process. If I had my time again I would have done my home work and learned about this school before I signed up. Very regrettable experience.

Overall, an amazing experience and academically one of the best around.

As a parent I find that this school has a leadership that is willing to listen and address shortcomings. Although, like most things in life this school is not for everyone, it does the best it can with the resources provided to it.
