Pineview Preschools Douglas

This review is for the Flagler /​19^th Ave location.
My experience with the school has been good. Yes, the neighborhood surrounding the school is very sketchy and the parking space is VERY limited for parents, but since I work Downtown, its pretty convenient for me.
I really like the school’s handle on policies and how well they communicate events, and instructions for the kids in advance. They have a well-​planned curriculum that shows parents what the kids will focus on. I also love that they post photos each week of the kids’ activities.
What I’ve loved best so far has been their summer camp program. For only an additional $ 200 (flat fee), on top of their monthly fee, my kid loves school more than ever. They bring animal shows, pony rides, water days, dance teachers, music teachers, soccer coaches and much more. This is where the school excels. In the winter they offer a snow day and they incorporate lots of fun activities for kids throughout the year.
I would (and do) recommend the school and probably any of their other locations to family and friends. They are all owned by the same person and I assume they all follow the same curriculum.

My Daughter has been part of the school since last year .As a new parent
it was very challenging having to trust your 3 month old baby to strangers .
I must say my experience with Pineview Preschools has been excellent they met and exceeded my expectations. After visiting a long list of Day cares and infant cares it was horrifying to see the conditions of some of these places. But not Pineview. Pineview made the difference the place is impeccable. NOT once has it smelled like dirty diaper, no matter at what time i drop in everything is always under control and when I come in around 5ish the staff is cleaning the toys and the class rooms.
Management is always on point with vaccines and requirements for the safety and well being of the children.
They communicate via email and keep us informed even of the weather. The staff is amazing always greet you with a smile. They are loving and attentive. My Daughter comes in daily with a smile and loves her teachers. Her teachers have taken good care of her, they teach her something new every day and have given her love and affection.
I’m a new parent and I’m a very Happy parent and glad to say my child is part of this school. «Nothing like leaving and knowing your child is in great care»
7 months down the line and not one bad thing to say. NOT ONE!

My son just started this summer at the South Miami location and I couldn’t be happier. The staff and his teacher are amazing and they take such good care of him. They have amazing communication with parents via email, phone calls (when necessary) and conferences (to share my child’s progress). My son is super happy there and is always talking about his teacher. I would highly recommend this school.

Our daughter has attended this school for almost a year now and we couldn’t be happier with the school and staff, especially the teachers. I’m really amazed to see all the one-​star reviews as I’ve never been close to having an experience that I can consider to be negative.
All our comunications with the staff have always been very professional and any issue or incidents between other children and our daughter have been handled correctly in my opinion.

I’m downgrading my rating. I sent my friend’s 1 year old to the school. They told the school upfront that they were working on him biting sometimes. The school said ok they would work with him too. They kicked him out one day (no warning). I found out recently that they gave a very hard time to one of my son’s friends who went to the school & had a medical problem.
The only reason I’m giving three stars is because they have some amazing teachers there and my son had a good experience.
I believe the owner, Cynthia, is the issue. If any kid has any sort of problem, she sees it as interfering with her making money. Such a shame.

My son went there about two years ago when it was called the Wonder Years. The school always seemed clean and it is very well kept. Unfortunately, we had a terrible experience with the owner Cynthia. Our son had been bitten about 7 times when we finally approached her with the issue. She setup a meeting with us, cancelled one time after I took time off to meet with her and the next time she tried to cancel but I said I couldn’t keep taking time off so we had a phone conference. She was completely inconsiderate and tried to make it seem like we were being over protective. She did absolutley nothing to help the situation and was very rude. It is a shame because the teachers are very nice and the school has so much potential.
