Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful!! We are so happy that we chose KidZone for our daughter's first experience with school. She started attending this August in VPK, and she is so proud of her school, her teachers and the other kids. In fact, when we are driving down 95, or US1, Victoria sees the billboards, and it's like she's seing it for the first time. She always calls out, "Mommy, Mommy, this is my school!" She started VPK not knowing her letters, and already knows just about all of them, can tell you what sound they make, and knows her vowels. We can see that very shortly she will be reading! We are so proud of her, and know that it is because of this school, and the teachers that this is possible. We know it's not an easy job, but they are doing it, and doing it very well. The joy on my child's face when we pull in to the parking lot every day, and how she is disappointed that she can't go to school on Saturday and Sunday speaks volumes.

I have two children who attend this school. I have notice improvement in both vocabulary and motor skills for my children also the school is very clean.. I also would like to give special thanks to Ms.Hiens she is my sons teacher she is "MY" ideal teacher no doubt. I love that she is very structured and loving at the same time. My son is in the 3-4year old class and when I walk in there I expected chaos but I get the opposite all children are well behave no screaming or crying.. this school deserves a 5star indeed!

I would rate the Kidzone PortStLucie VPK program very poor. The absence of quality of instruction in lieu of the better than average presentation of the facility lures the indescrimanate parent to overlook teaching methods. Too many changes in staffing. Inconsistent communication for daily parental support in order to allow the parent to know what is expected in the area of homework. Overall the VPK program appears to have inconsistencies. Some classrooms seem to excel, unfortunately my exposure failed the norm. I am currently on a waiting list to an A rated school with an A rated VPK program, (the homework at this school shows how much Kidzone is missing the mark).

I would not recommend this school. The staff is rude and unorganized. They are always short staffed. My son has had 3 teachers since August. After you overlook the train and bounce house that the advertise to get the kIds in there, after that the quality goes down hill. And no my son has not learned how to read yet.

This is an exceptional school. Your child will be reading at age 4 and also understand the vowels and blends. AAAAA!!!

Amazing school, staff, administration and even parents. So glad we found it. My son is learning so much and comes home so excited to tell me all about it. Kidzone makes learning fun!

I love this school! My child has been going to Kidzone for the past 4 years and is in their VPK program and is already reading small words at the age of 4! His teacher's have been really great and he has loved each one. He really loves the bounce house and the train and I love everything about the school. The hours are great and it is really clean.

Kidzone is a wonderful school. My son attended school here since he was two. I so wish they had upper grades - I would keep him in here forever. My son is now in public school and has not learned a thing in two years. He left the Kidzone Kindergarten and was on a second grade level. They really care about the kids and the kids have a great time while learning. The campus is clean and very safe. My son almost never got sick because they were so thorough in keeping things clean. I miss Kidzone and the wonderful teachers and administrators. Everything I have looked at since then fails in comparison to Kidzone. I so wish they continued beyond kindergarten.

About these ratings

The Community Rating is the school’s average rating from its community members (e.g., parents, students, and school staff). The highest possible rating is five stars; the lowest is one star.

We currently do not have any test score information for this school. Unlike public schools, private schools are not always required to report data about their schools or not required to take the same tests as public schools. Many private schools take different standardized tests; however, that information is often made available only to families of enrolled students. We strive to acquire additional private school data whenever available.

Oops! We currently do not have any student information for this school. We rely on the state Department of Education, the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES), and in some cases school administrators such as registrars and principals for this data.
