3 Best Preschools in Fort Lauderdale, FL

As a first time mom who was terrified to send my son to daycare, I can't recommend Baer Family Early Childhood Learning Center highly enough! From my first visit and tour with director Beth, The environment is warm and nurturing, making it a perfect place for young children to explore and grow. The dedicated staff (special thanks to Ms Mimi, Ms Maribel, Ms Sherry, Ms Amanda and Ms Tasha) truly goes above and beyond, creating engaging and age-appropriate activities that spark curiosity and foster a love of learning. My son is in his 3rd year here and I can confidently say the curriculum is well-rounded, incorporating not just academics but also social skills, creativity, and physical activity. They even helped with potty training! I’ve seen tremendous growth in my child’s confidence and abilities since starting here. Communication with parents is excellent, ensuring we’re always in the loop about our child’s progress. I love reviving daily photos and updates to see what he’s doing throughout the day. The sense of community is palpable, and it feels like an extension of our family. If you're looking for a place where your child can thrive and feel loved, Baer Family Early Childhood Learning Center is the place to be.

My husband and I could not be any happier with Baer ! From the moment we walked through the door, Beth made us feel welcomed. The teachers (Ms.Miryam) are amazing, treating each child as an individual, and genuinely fostering a warm, nurturing environment. Our child has blossomed here, not only academically but socially and emotionally. The activities are thoughtfully designed with a new lesson plan every week to be fun and educational, enrichment including sports on the field, music with Mr. Sheldon and Shabbat on Fridays. he also love the safe and engaging playground. Communication through text and the app is excellent, and we always feel informed about our child’s progress. Baer has truly become a second home for our son. Highly recommend to any parent looking for a safe, loving, and enriching preschool.

My daughter loved her time at Baer JCC and so did I as a parent. Beth the director is incredible and thorough putting safety and education first. Ms Maribel was her teacher and was warm and encouraging. She helped us solve any problem we had and made our kid feel so incredibly comfortable. The Shabbats were loving and welcoming. We miss this incredible place.

Absolutely LOVE this place! I cannot say enough wonderful things about the teachers here. My 4-year-old started at the end of the summer and they have been so patient with him adjusting to a classroom environment. They are great at communicating with me as a parent and truly take an invested interest in his learning. I was also impressed with the fact that he did not get a runny nose the 1st week, like other schools as they implement frequent hand washing for the children. I highly recommend this school.

Angels on earth!! It has been 2 months and our son is so happy that he tells us he is ready to go to see his friends on the weekends. He loves his teachers and is gaining greater independence. He speaks of his teachers, games he plays during the day, and the latest topic he is learning (like what grows on a tree and who lives on and in trees). Knowing that our son is loved and well cared for in a stimulating learning environment.

5 stars are simply not enough! My daughter has been going to CWS for a couple of years now and I could not have picked a better place for her to be! The teachers and staff treat you as if you are family...my daughter adores every single person there as do I. If I could keep her there through Graduation day I would.
