Young Innovators Academy

With all my heart full of gratefulness, breathtaking experience after visiting this daycare. I want to leave a review for that fabulous place.

I’ve been in lots of places like that, but this one is the most amazing and delightful.

If you are looking for a trust-worth place for your kids with a great environment, high intellectual educational standards, loving and caring teachers (they are truly a family here). I am so melted with the attitude teachers take care of the kids. I can not stress enough about how they love and care about the kids there.
It’s absolutely save environment and the equipment is great invested for teaching.
Being teacher myself I am so impressed how much they care about quality education here.
If I could give them 10 stars - I would.
Wish them all the success and growth.

Our daughter has been attending Young Innovators since she was 6 months old (now 3 years old). She loves attending each day and learned so much. The administration staff were so nice as well.

YIA does a lot of fun and extra activities for the children. I highly recommend this place.

(See pictures from the past Trunk-or-Treat! they brought the farm!)

Our son has been going to Young Innovators for 4 years...since he was 8 weeks old. He's had a great experience there. The directors, admins and teachers have always been communicative and supportive for whatever stage/age he was. He loves all the activities they do and he is already well prepared for Kindergarten next year! They do lots of family activities for families - a trunk or treat, the Easter Bunny, grandparents day. It's a very family-centered environment and we're thankful to have found them for our son!

We have been with Young Innovators since they were called Amazing explorers. My oldest is 9 and has been with them since she was a baby and now with them for after care. The school is always clean, organized and they have a great curriculum.
What I like the best about them is the staff and the teachers. My kids eyes light up when they see their teachers! They are so loving and it's obvious they love what they do!
I love walking in the morning and afternoon and always being greeted! Regardless of what they are doing or how busy they may be, they take their time to look up, and ask me about my day! Going Innovators Oviedo is like a second family to us and we cannot recommend it enough! Look no further!

The facilities are excellent and the staff is friendly and professional.

Ms Jo (Josephine Ramos) has been so attentive and caring with our son. He's grown academically and has matured significantly since his first day here.

We feel very fortunate to have our son attend YIA and to have such an amazing teacher be a part of his life.

I have been very happy with Young Innovators Academy Oviedo.  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 - Oviedo! Misti 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. Happy to be in the Young Innovator family!

My daughter is 2 yrs old and I love how happy she is at YIA. I’m filled with joy seeing her interact with other little ones, also all the cool stuff she learns in the technology room and doing all kinds of artsy projects with her class. The parades, grandparents breakfast are all amazing activities. It’s a very organized and structured place to have your little one learn. I highly recommend :)

My son has been attending Young Innovators since July and we have had an excellent experience since being there. His teachers and the office staff are all fantastic and are great at communicating with families! My son loves Ms. Melanie, Ms. Becky, and Ms. Katryna and jumps out of our arms to get to them when he sees them!

My son has been attending this daycare since the summertime and we couldn’t be happier. We left another daycare in the area that was treating him poorly. Since switching to YIA, our son has thrived!! He’s grown SO much not only academically, but emotionally too. I can tell the staff loves what they do because everyone we pass in the hallway seems to know him, even if we (parents) don’t know them! We feel like any concerns we’ve ever had have been openly and respectfully addressed, and we are so thankful that we’ve found the Young Innovator family. ❤

Due to work I had to start my 3 month old at daycare. I am an extremist in worrying and was a mess for drop off. However I feel so comfortable leaving her there everyday. She seems so happy to be there! The front desk and administrative team know every child by name, the teachers log her day to day so I can keep up with what she is doing all day, and I can tune in to watch her any time I want. She is keeping up with her milestones, learning so much, and still getting plenty of cuddles and love. If your a new mama needing to go back to work and stressed about leaving your baby; I recommend YIA, they’re excellent with kids!

We recently moved to have access to Seminole county schools. Mrs Sammy canabal is my son’s VPK teacher and I am 1000% proud and blessed to have her working with my son. He now LOVES school after being so nervous to start. He is learning so many new things through playing and exploring! Mrs Sammy is such a happy, sweet, loving, experienced teacher. I wish my son could have her every year. The school admin is so helpful, warm and welcoming on a daily basis. They plan so many fun family events.

My children have been going here for 3 years and they’ve had the best experience. As a parent, knowing your child is thriving and happy is so important. I’m thankful we found Young Innovators! The teachers are kind and patient and the administrators are thoughtful and communicate well.

My son is very excited to go daily. There are a lot of activities for him which is important to me.

Update: it has been 3 months and my son has been thriving not only academically but personally as well. The communication is transparent, and the teachers are excellent..Ms Jo is my son's teacher and he loves her very much. He also loves Ms Domi who is the director of the technology programs and the things they teach such as AI and their makers class (art, clay sculptures) are great and helps my son tap into his engineering/ artistic side. We are grateful for the teachers and admins who make the school special.

We have been at Young Innovators for four years. My children have gone from babies/toddlers to kids. We’ve experienced all aspects of care from full time care to now after school care and summer camp. We love the YIA teachers and admin for how they care for our kids and all kids in their care. We will be with them until the kids age out.

Young Innovators has been the best choice for our family and we are so glad we have been a part of the Young Innovators family for almost 3 years. We have had the best teachers and our girls have really learned a lot. The admin has always been helpful and the school always keeps families involved with learning.

Young innovators is amazing!! After all of the tours and visits to other daycares, I received a level of service and comfort that no other daycare could provide by young innovators. It came highly recommended by friends of ours and we could not be happier with the care that they provide our child. Each day they provide new learning activities and experiences for all the kids and continue to keep them engaged in socializing and working on skills. Mrs.Melanie and her team are always so attentive and love my child like their own. Highly recommend

Prefacing the following review with the note that I am a first-time neurotic, anxious, helicopter mom. That said:

As this is my first little one, I was extremely hesitant and nervous to put them in daycare. When I toured the unit, the staff member giving my the tour heard a child cry, and thought it sounded like a specific child. She was correct, she knew what child was upset from the sound of their cry and we weren’t even to the window/door, yet to see who it was. I was extremely impressed and it was the first moment I felt relieved and knew then YIA was the place for my child. Since then, that same genuine care and compassion has been displayed with all team members in all ways and aspects.

YIA has been nothing short of amazing- staff-wise, admin and care have been 5 star; the excellent care and personal attention was apparent with my initial tour of the academy and has been steady and consistent throughout. The staff makes you feel like your kid is near and dear to them. They genuinely care. Communication is clear and efficient, programs and events offered are plentiful, educational and engaging. They are wonderful at providing a positive community.

My child’s teachers are engaging, loving, mindful of feeding/nap schedules and encouraging to not just my child, but also to myself. They’ve been highly helpful to me as I navigate my way through motherhood. My daughter gets a big smile on her face when she sees her teachers when I bring her in for the day, and she is always accepted with loving arms.

Education and development wise, their curriculum and efforts are top notch. They work on STEM, etc., daily and help with reaching milestones. Circle time is a daily bonding event in the mornings, which I love for my child’s routine. My favorite part, they send a book home every Friday, and they have weekly art projects.

They have two apps- one for communication and a second for viewing your child’s classroom camera. Both are user friendly and require minimal effort to set up.

All in all, I’m beyond grateful for YIA and confident in the care they extend to my child, and all students. You can see that everyone truly enjoys working with children and takes their positions seriously.

I’d give 10 stars if I could.

Thank you YIA!

My son has been at Young Innovators for just over 2 years now and we’ve had a wonderful experience. His first teacher, Ms Maggie, was so patient with him as he transition from being home to being in daycare. His teacher in the 2s classroom was an absolute godsend. Ms Brittney was kind and treated my son like her own. She was so easy to communicate with and worked together with parents to really help our children excel. We are so thankful for how much she invested into our son and how much she truly loves all her kiddos in her class. We are looking forward to another great year at YIA!

I’ve had two children attend YIA and there’s a reason we drive 30 mins to attend. The education my children have received is top notch and we’ve been fortunate to have been blessed with amazing teachers (Ms. Maggie & Sammie, Ms. Brittany & Brooke, and Ms. Canabal) who have enhanced our experience. As an educator myself I am always impressed with the skills my children share with me and how prepared my son has been for kindergarten. I know that my children are loved and cared for while at YIA and still are even after graduating.
