Why Parents Love Young Innovators Academy of Winter Park

Our family couldn’t be happier with Young Innovators Academy in Winter Park. The teachers provide exceptional care and support, making it truly one of the best daycare and preschool options in the area.

We recently moved to Winter Park and our three kids have been attending this school for a couple months now and I have nothing but good things to say. The team is easy to communicate with, they have good tech to stay in touch and manage things, the teachers are excellent, and the school goes above and beyond to keep the kids & parents engaged. I was nervous about finding a school that was as good as our last one, but I've been impressed and very happy with Young Innovators!

We absolutely love this school. Our son has been enrolled since he was 5 months old (now 3yrs). Dropping him off each morning knowing he is safe and happy is our #1 priority and YIA Winter Park makes that happen. Miss Brooke and Miss Raelyn are angels on earth, thank you both from the bottom of our families' hearts for all you do for your class. We have seen our little boy excel this past year and you two are critical role models to making that happen.

I have been very happy with Young Innovators Academy Winter Park. My two children go there – my daughter is in their VPK extended program and my son is in their toddler room. Their teachers are outstanding. Not only the teachers for their specific classrooms, but all of the teachers throughout the school. When we walk the halls, all of the teachers know our kids by name regardless of what classroom they teach. The entire staff is involved, so it gives us a true community feel. It’s amazing what our children have retained at such young ages. I highly recommend this school for all ages.

We love YI - Winter Park! Ms. Ashley has been such a pleasure to work with and we really love her personal approach to each and every family. Our daughter is eager to go every day now after a smooth transition and the teachers are very kind and attentive. They offer such a varied and diverse day each and every day - really keeps her stimulated and expecting something new and exciting. We feel very supported. We are extra grateful to Miss Hannah, Miss Abby, Miss Jo, Miss Emily, Miss Yessi, Miss Hilary for their care and compassion.

This school is absolutely amazing and I can't recommend them enough. My 4 year old daughter had attended two prior schools in the Winter Park area (both public & private) but they were not a good fit for her before we found YIA. The teachers and academics at YIA is by far the best we have seen. Their focus on STEM is impressive, the kids are constantly learning. My daughter has excelled at YIA in just the first year she started-it was amazing and refreshing to see such a difference in her. All of the teachers genuinely love what they do and love the children. I can go to work in peace knowing that my daughter is loved and cared for and learning everyday. I highly recommend YIA Winter Park.
