Shining Stars Learning Center - Sarasota, Florida

Shining Stars was my daughter's first preschool, she started when she was 2 in Ms Lori's class and she was the best with her. I always has a trust issue with leaving her with strangers, but I was at ease with this preschool. They taught her so well and she is well advanced now. I highly recommend this preschool to anyone in the area, the teachers are amazing from Ms Lori to Ms Maria to Ms Abigail to Ms Lana.

Shining Stars Learning Center has been an amazing place for our daughter. She just graduated from the VPK program and we could not be any happier with the care she has recieved over the handful of years she has been at this daycare. Starting with Ms. Maria and working her way up to the the Sharks, Ms Lana's class, I have always felt they have done such an amazing job at caring for my child while my husband and I worked full time jobs and a bonus is that she was getting an education and we feel confident to send her off to kindergarten. Thank you to all the staff that I don't know by name that I know who have cared for Scout over the years. We appreciate you in helping us shape and help Scout be who she is today. As first time parents we are learning too, so to have a daycare, educators to work side by side and help you really helps since your child spends more time with them during the week. Thank you guys so much. Highly recommend. ♡

We absolutely love Shining Stars. We've had two children enrolled and choosing Shining Stars was one of the best decisions we've made for our children and our family. The staff is amazing and you can tell they genuinely care about the well-being and education of the children. The education program is top notch and has prepared my son who is now excelling in elementary school. We have recommended Shining Stars to multiple friends and family, and we will continue to do so. Great school and great staff!

Shining Stars provides a top notch education and learning environment. The owner, director, and staff are nurturing and encourage their students to meet high expectations on a daily basis. My daughter is in the VPK class and I saw a drastic difference in just her first week there in August. She continues to show growth and is happy to go to school. I have no doubt she will be kindergarten ready, not just with academics, but with personal skills. I cannot recommend Shining Stars enough.

Shining Stars Learning Center was the best possible choice I could have made for my son’s preschool. By the time he graduated from there he was reading, writing, as well as adding and subtracting at a first grade level! After the first month of attending Kindergarten he was placed in FIRST GRADE reading and math classes!
The teachers, director, and owner are extremely personable and all have the child’s best interest at hand. My only regret is not signing my son up here sooner!
I highly recommend Shining Stars to anyone looking to send their child to a school where they will not only learn above and beyond expectations, but will have fun doing so.
Thank you Mr Jerry, Dr Sonja, and the rest of the incredible staff at Shining Stars for preparing my son to have such a bright future!

We've been taking our small children to Shining Stars for the past three years and now have three kids who are either graduates or are still enrolled. The overall educational structure is fantastic and we love how it's really a school as opposed to a place where you just drop your kids off for a while; our kids are excited to learn and they love going to school with all their friends. My five year old, who started kindergarten less than a month ago, has been reading at a 2nd grade level for well over a year and has already mastered many of the skills he's supposed to learn in public school this year. We couldn't be happier with what Shining Stars has done for us and our kids.

Shining Stars is the best learning center in the area!

My daughter completed VPK at Shining Stars this year. She attended for 2 years. We looked at over 10 different places for our daughter and no place matched this place.

I would give this place 10 stars if I could!

My daughter started going to Shining Stars when she was 2 years old. As a busy working mom, I hated the fact that I had to leave her all day, I felt guilty. But I soon found out that on the rare occasion when I would get out of work early, she didn't want to come home! She loves her teachers, the staff, her friends, and LEARNING! Her teachers have been very supportive and treat her like their own. When she walks through the school doors everyone is one big family! By the age of 3 she mastered her alphabet recognition, counted to 30 and could write most if not all letters. She's 4 years old now, and she's beginning to read and do math! I'm confident that she will be more than ready for Kindergarten come fall thanks to the curriculum at Shining Stars.
