My daughter attended Academir for 3 months and I decided to pull her out. She is 22 months old now. My daughter loved the teachers there but I knew very little about what went on throughout the day. They have a monitor system where you can login and view the daycare at any time but the cameras are focused in areas where the kids do not usually go. Once I asked the director if my daughter was napping well and it was hard to get a straight answer. They told me yes she was but I knew from her behavior she was not. After that I guess they fixed the problem because she stopped coming home cranky and drowsy but it was an example of bad communication. They also keep the air at 60-65 degrees supposedly to reduce the spread of germ when a lot of kids are sick. This never worked for my daughter because she was constantly sick and when I picked her up her little hands were icicles. I did like that my daughter learned many new songs and words while she was there. They also put on some really cute shows during the holidays.

Great experience, Academir really cares about your child education. My son has been in Academir since he was 1 year old, now he is 5 and he has learned so much. I took him to get evaluated to another school and he was way more advance than he was supposed to.

My daughter has been in Academir for one year. She has learned a great deal, not only academically but also intellectually. The teachers are good but I am dissapointed at the interaction with the parents. It is very difficult to speak to the teachers. To do so the principal must always be present and so, the level of communication diminishes. Overall, I think it is a good schools, especially for toddlers and preschoolers. However, they need to let the parents in a little more. I would love it if they had a PTA, for example.

I have my daughter in Academir since she was 18th months, she is now 3 1/2 years old and loves the school and teachers. I moved far from the scholl when she turned 2 and I prefer to drive 20-30 minutes every day and see her happy, and learning as much as she does in the school. I compared the curriculum and facilities with many other schools near my house and I still do not find one that is as good as Academir.

I have 2 kids in that school since 2003, and I've never had any kind of problems. I love the school, it develops hands, hearts and minds as well. They are always inspired and motivated. The many seasonal celebrations and festivals nourish the whole community, AND THE PARENTS ARE ALWAYS INVOLVED. They become excited and passionate about learning and develop into happy, confident, intelligent, creative and well balanced human beings. It is impressive the way my 2 child learns at this school, specially this year that they have combined classes. I can't say enough about the teachers and staff. They are patient, very knowledgable, and the children absolutely love them.

Both of my kids have been attending this school since they were toddlers. The owners of the school are very passionate and look out for the best interests of the students. My kids are learning at an accelerated rate and have acquired an excellent educational foundation that will benefit them for years to come. As a parent, I feel priviliged to have my child attend this school and I highly recommend it to anyone.

This is an awesome Private school. I love that I can log-in to the secured web cam and see my children at any time of the day, it gives me peace of mind. The staff and teachers are awesome, they are trained to this school standards which exceed public and chartered schools. I appreciate the personal attention my children & I get. I greatly enjoy all the seasonal activities planned for the kids and that parents are allowed to get involved and invited to special presentations. I admire that no nonsense is tolerated from any staff, parent, or child; this ensures the great quality of the school. My children have been with Academir since 2002 and into the future.

My child is currently attending AcadeMir Elementary. We are very happy with all the teachers and faculty. Parent involvement is always welcome and appreciated. We are very happy with the academics and would not dream of removing our child to any other school.

Academir is the best school my child has been to! She adores going to school everyday. They have a very enthusiastic staff and faculty. It is a refreshing thought knowing my daughter is being taken care of by such a great team! :) AcadeMir is 10 stars in my book.

We had our child in this school for a couple of years.Their acdemic was great!. The teacher last year was awsome could not ask for a better teacher. It was sad to see they lost the best teacher they have ever had. The parent involvment is terrible and the comunication with the parents is non exsistant. I was very dissapointed this year with this school to say the least. We chose to switch our child to a new school and she is still achieving all A's/4.0.They need to improve on people skills. Parents had way to many issues at this school.

Academir Preschool is a GREAT choice for anyone who wants to give their kids the best foundation possible. I have my middle child in their VPK program and I am amazed every day of how much she has learned. She is already learning time and money which are concepts that my 2nd grade daughter is just learning now in public school!!! I strongly recommend this school.
