There are some really good, caring teachers here, however, the director, Mrs. Epstein, is a rude, nasty, loudmouth who half the time ignores that there are even parents there to pick up their children (all while she sits on her computer and looks at Facebook). On more than one occasion, I have seen her yell at teachers right at the front desk where other parents were present. I have even seen her give attitude to parents who ask simple questions regarding their children. This would be a much better school if this woman was no longer allowed to be near it.

Room To Grow Academy was a Godsent. Wonderful caring teachers. Excellent curriculum. One of the few school that still uses common sense in educating and caring for the children that go there. Always clean and neat. Large class rooms, lots of space to run and explore.Never had an issue in the three years my child has gone there. Go in and see for yourself. Every child is different and it's just a matter of finding the one that fits your childs needs. We had to experince three horrible preschools before finding RTG.There is nothing horrible going on there, they love the kids and know what they are doing. They are GREAT!!!!

I am writing on behalf of myself and a friend who have both had the opportunity to comment on this facility. We were displeased with a great deal of things we saw. Due to circumstances, my friend's child was there longer than my son, and she was relieved to be able to take him out. The teacher student ratios were so often not up to par; there were rooms full of supplies and toys being hoarded and unused; the computer lab, if you can call it that was a joke, the rooms were full of broken equipment, etc. We were asked to bring in supplies which were not returned at the end of the year, or to bring in paper goods which should have been provided. They do not even put paper towels in the restroom. The administrator is horrid. She yells at the staff, including the director, in front of others. Morale is so low, and turnover so high. Her grandchildren are poorly behaved, and we see why. One child, who was the son of a teacher there, was out of control, hurting other kids, and asked to leave. The teacher left on bad terms and we heard she returned. My friend actually heard her bad-mouthing a special needs child and speaking badly about other staff!.. Yes, there were some teachers who seemed to genuinely care, and thankfully have been there for a year or more. However, They need to hire better teachers, and treat them with respect.

This school shows off for its parents I was a mother of a child here as well a friend to several teachers who have come and gone out of this school. This school is the wurse the make you supply materials that the owner herself locks away in her closest . That school does nothing but hoard in those empty classrooms., Several teachers told me from the past that they know for sure there were rats in the building that management announced it all the time about rats. The teachers would talk about finding rat poop in the classroom the next morning coming into work. I always wondered what that awful smell was sometimes. The children sit at the tables all day! When I would ask my son if he ever got to play in centers he would say no. and some of those toys if you look closely have dust. The owner has a loud mouth an loves to yell. The management has an excuse for everything, This is the wurst school My child has ever been in. Sometimes my child would bring food for a party and he wouldn't even get it at his party some other class would have it, And that Director wurst director I have ever met. That school does not care about family of children only about making money. I have seen so many teachers come and go from that school Good ones too! That's okay though the teachers are better off. Anyways do not be blindsided by the schools marble floors and indoor playsgrounds you will not be happy in the end. The school is terriable and your child will be unhappy

My son started in the 3 year old class and is now in the 4 year old class. He loves going to school everyday, he is very well taken care of and has learned a lot since he started. He comes home from school every day very excited about all the fun things they do and singing new songs. He has really opened up a lot since he started in Room to Grow Academy, he is a lot more outgoing and confident now, and I know that a lot of that is due to the wonderful care he is getting at this school.

This school has potential,but the Director Ms. Adele Epstein is horriable at managing her job she does not know how to talk to children,parents, or the teachers. The Poor teachers and their faces after management yells at them in front of their students and their fellow co workers it breaks my heart as a parent. The indoor playground is a ploy to get you in the door but my child said the teachers always told him no he was not aloud to go on there. The Ratios were always incorrect but when you mentioned them the director always had some sort of excuse. If you want your child to sit in their chair all day then this is the school for you. If you want your child to go to a loving school where they can have fun and be a kid another school would be the better choice!

After 5 and a half months of my 3 year old twins beginning attendance at Room To Grow Academy, I am just so impressed it's hard to explain. My wife and I have had quite a journey in the Davie/ Cooper City area, looking for the best quality of care. Here, the Staff is friendly, and communicative. My children are tended to - down to being tidied up to go home, just in case we have to stop somewhere. I own my own business, so I can stop in any time I choose -- and I have. And all I ever see is exactly what I was looking for - my kids happy, learning, dancing and singing. And at the end of the day, I have to drag them outta the place. So, we are very satisfied with this school.

I loved this place from the moment I walked in. My son has been there for over two years and I rave about this school to my friends. My son loves his teachers and can't wait to go to school in the morning. I feel happy knowing that he is happy leaving me in the morning to go to a school that he loves.

I have nothing but love for this school. My child has been with then from 7 months in the nursery and has received amazing care. If I have ever had any concerns they are always immediately addressed to my satisfaction. While I have seen staff come and go, they always replace them with qualified teachers. My daughter can't wait to get to school in the morning and has to be taken out crying at night. I would highly recommend this school.

Their toddler room services are bad. Pick my baby up and he's still wearing the same clothes when I drop him off. No daily report or anything to inform you about your child. You have to do bodily check when you pick up your kids because they won't inform you if your kids got hurt.
