Camelot Pre School & Kindergarten

This school is absolutely amazing!!! Let’s see where they even start. THere are at least 2 qualified teachers per each age group and those groups are good sizes, like 10 – 15 kids. My son is in the 3 year old class and when I tell you he loves his teacher and you can tell that the techers love their kids but they also can and do maintain discipline.
A chef comes and cooks, not microwaves or thaws food, or gets it from a package… a chef cooks for the kids!!! A music teacher comes every Monday to teach the individual classes their own lesson and the school evne offers extra curricular activities during school hours that for a nominal extra fee, the kids can participate.
For example, my son was able to participate in soccer with a gentleman that teaches kids for hundreds of dollars at a regular field at 11:00am, since he’s already in school and I’m at work and the guy teaches them as a small group in their own individual age groups and levels so its not like my baby had 6 year olds kicking him in the face with a hard ball.
Speaking of recess, they have 2 separate areas on the playground that are fenced off fo r children under 3 and those 3 and older. This way, babies are able to get outside and still enjoy smaller toys and activities without bigger kids pushing, pulling and everyone has something to do. And for the place looking like it is a converted home, it has a huge playground area and is VERY clean.
The restrooms are cute with small little doors and lowered sinks and toilets for the kiddies and posters about washing hands and such. Lowered water fountains and all the classrooms are open roofed, so it looks like cordoned off pens for each room but this way, all the kids can sleep at one time during nap and they turn off the lights in the one large open room and everyone has the same sort of schedule.
What else??? There is so much. They also participate in Scholastic bookclubs so you get all the opportunities to get great discounts on those books and the school gets a portion whenever you buy stuff.
Its very clean, every teacher is polite and they have a separate building for babies under 3 which I honestly havent been in except for very early mornings when I have had to drop my son off but its roomy and clean and comfy in there too.
All in all, this school especially for the price which I cant believe I didn’t mention, is a great deal!!! I think its something like $ 110 a week which I’m sorry, is a friggin steal for Miami schools. I havent had a problem with parking or anything because they have a circular driveway that people just jump out, drop the baby and GO! The administration, Ms. Hoover, is great. She can pull up your file e xplain payments, balances, etc in a heartbeat. She is very informed. The place is filled with books and the kids all act as though they all enjoy being there. I rarely see children cry when they are dropped off. All in all, I cannot praise this place enough. Its a wonderful prep to getting kids into a fulltime program in elementary school.
