This school has made my daughter love school again !Lutz Learning Center is truly an exceptional place for children to learn and grow. The staff is incredibly caring, professional, and attentive to the individual needs of every child. They create a welcoming environment where both children and parents feel valued and supported.The curriculum is well-rounded, blending academics, social development, and creative activities that keep kids engaged and excited to learn. The teachers do an excellent job of fostering curiosity and confidence in the students, making it clear that they are deeply passionate about education.The facilities are clean, safe, and equipped with everything needed to enhance a child’s learning experience. The center also maintains open communication with parents, keeping us informed about our child’s progress and any updates.Overall, Lutz Learning Center goes above and beyond in providing high-quality education and care. I highly recommend it to any parent looking for a nurturing and inspiring environment for their child.

Wondering teachers and front staff. They are getting a lot of attention. My son is able to read a book at VPK (5 years old) and write good. He is able to do simple math and numbers. My daughter is eager to do her homework and research online and excited about going to school everyday. She love her teacher and her tutor teacher. I'd recommend this school.

Safety was a big concern. Children weren’t being checked in nor checked out ever.

HORRIBLE. We paid our registration and first month tuition. Came for the trial day and the teacher was absolutely unqualified to teach and was putting kids in time out in front of me. Who knows what she would do without me there. Cancelled our registration before we ever came again and never received our money back. If I felt like suing, I easily could. They blatantly breached contract. Money hungry with extremely poor trained staff.

Wonderful teachers, amazing curriculum and a wealth of enrichment opportunities. Each child is made to feel empowered and valued. Absolutely adore this school.

My wife and I were referred by some friends to Lutz Learning Center. We had been happy with our previous daycare until they experienced a change of directors and the place began to spiral down. We are sure glad we changed. LLC is amazing. Our son has grown tremendously in all aspects including social interaction, learning at the advanced pre-school level and he continues to progress rapidly. We have watched our son excel at LLC while his old class mates simply remain stagnant. The entire staff from administration to the teacher to the chef are amazing. One key distinction is that the chef actually COOKS! She prepares fresh fruit and vegetables and healthy meals for the children daily - NOT simply reheated frozen over processed food. The children are not given juice and other unhealthy snacks daily. LLC truly cares about the child as a whole. Our son enjoys participating in the quarterly "enrichments" that are offered - this quarter he is playing soccer. We would highly recommend this school to anyone. We plan to keep our son (and his little brother in the future) at Lutz Learning Center all the way through daycare, preschool and school.

We have been a Lutz Learning Center family for 3 years now and would (and do) recommend the school to anyone with young children! The curriculum and attention provided to each child is top notch. By the mid point of VPK, my daughter was reading on a first grade level! The administration and the teachers have been so caring and genuinely concerned for each child and it shows in everything that they do. Five stars from the Brickner family!!

We have had our children enrolled at Lutz Learning Center ("LLC") for the past few years and we are continually amazed at the progress they are making on a daily basis. When we transferred our oldest to LLC at three years old he learned simple addition in his first week! He is heading into Kindergarten this fall and is reading unassisted and doing math that I would expect from a much older child. Our youngest child started at LLC at one year old. He was potty trained by his (amazing) teacher just after turning two. Now he is learning basic sight words, at two years old. We have found all of the teachers and administration to be wonderful and overly helpful. Our parenting style is very much in sync with the expectations (manners, behavior, etc) of the school, and I appreciate not having to continually try to teach away bad habits that are learned in the daycare environment. I have never felt as though any members of the administration were more focused on my money than on my children. In fact, they have been extremely flexible when I've needed it. We love LLC and recommend the school to all of our friends with kids. We will be a part of the LLC "family" for years to come!

We put our son here for summer camp and were misinformed about their program. We were told this is a camp geared around academics, this is not the case, it is a daycare facility and was not structured around academics. They never returned emails or phone calls, please don't waste your money.

Don't bother learning anyone's name, they don't stay long. This school was a revolving door of teachers and a constant mess of unfinished construction. Our son came home telling us how he was being treated at school with classmates and it concerned us, as well as terribly upsetting our son. We tried to talk to administration but, we were constantly treated horribly while they did nothing about the situation. If you are looking for a center that actually cares about your child and not just your check this is NOT the place for you. This experience made our child afraid to go to Kindergarten and it broke our hearts to watch him go through it. It took a while, but thankfully now he enjoys going to school again, as long as we promise not to bring him back to his "old school" (LLC). I encourage you to ask around before you make a decision, we have encountered many families with similar opinions of this poorly run school.

My daughter attended the summer VPK program at Lutz Learning Center. She loved every minute of being there. I found the staff to be caring and understanding. Her teacher was excellent. My daughter reading ability skyrocketed after being there this summer. The field trips were fun,exciting and educational. The food that was provided for snack and lunch was "super good" according to my daughter. I would highly recommend this school. My daughter loved it! We were very pleased.

The administration as well as the teachers have gone above and beyond for my children. My son is speeched delayed and I have seen him accelerate in leaps and bounds at this school where he would be lost in the public school system. I am very impressed with the level and vast array of learning that goes on at this facility even down to the toddler group. Elaine is always warm, professional and makes time to address all my questions and concerns whenever they arise.

Fabulous school! My son was enrolled in the preschool program for the 2012-2013 school year. When he first started school he didn't know the alphabet by sight or sound. By the end of the school year he is sounding out small words and reading to me! He was learning math and science and we are truly proud and amazed of his progress. The teachers and staff are amazing. They are friendly and personable and truly care about the kids. If you ever have a concern they would address it immediately and put your mind at ease. The other students all seem so friendly and well rounded. I can't imagine my child going anywhere else. We are so excited to see what this upcoming year has in store for us.

Thank you for taking the time to read the reviews of our school. Lutz Learning Center offers a very complex science based curriculum, with a strong focus on reading, cognition, logic, and leadership skills. Our goal is to keep all 125 of our Preschool and Elementary students at least two years ahead of their chronological level and maintain those standards as they progress through our program. It is because of the school's strong dedication to each individual child's success that we are wholeheartedly devoted to partnering our teachers, administration, and parents together to build the foundation of the child's education through top quality education in these formative years. We take great pride in the faith a parent places in our school in entrusting us with their child's early education each and every day. We are committed to providing our students with the best possible education and have extremely high goals and standards to be implemented. It takes a team of amazing teachers and parents who are passionately devoted to the development of the child as an individual to reach those goals successfully. Despite our very best efforts, we will never be able to please 100% of the people 100% of the time. We strongly regret when this happens but encourage others to not believe everything you read in a review, there is always a back story that is never appropriate to air in an on-line forum. We are willing to professionally share our side of any review, just ask. Additionally, we adhere to and maintain compliance with all federal, state and county laws, these things are not optional. To learn more about what is happening at the school, be sure to check out our Facebook page, our website, or call!

My child is in Elementary at Lutz Learning Center. I am continually impressed with all that goes on in this school. My student's teacher holds a Master's Degree in Education and operates her small classroom of students at an extremely high level. This year alone I have seen amazing growth. I love how technologically savvy the classroom is (IPad 2's and computers for research) and all the fantastic field trips the class attends every month (Lego Land, Busch Gardens, blueberry picking) to bring their learning experiences to life. I like the warmth of the school (the Mother's day Breakfast was wonderful) and that parents are always welcomed to participate in class events and activities. The school even has a chef that creates all the students meals from scratch and the meal plan is included in tuition!

When we started at this preschool we loved it, but as time went on we noticed it was more of a money maker to the owner than a learning place. There are new teacher very often and the parents are never told by staff of changes in teachers, we hear from our kids. When we got to the owners with concerns, we are treated like we are stupid for asking questions. I can tell the staff is not happy working there. I think this place is toxic for children and teachers. They built a new K-5 school and it just feels like we are paying the cost for it. Our rate went up and we got nothing but babysitting for our money. Half the school year was wasted and it is time our kids will never get back. I would not want anyone else to have their child be bounced around like mine was, I just wish I would of taken my child out before all this lost time had passed.

We were so happy with this school for the first 2 years our child went there. Then they added the new part, rates went up and they ran teachers through so fast we stopped trying to learn their names. I never feel like our concerns are taken serious and we are just a check every week to them. I do not think this school is very good at all.

Lutz Learning Center is an awesome school. Over the years, all four of my children have attended LLC. My youngest son who is in the first grade is currently learning French and computer technology, as well as all the core classes for that grade level. My family and I love Lutz Learning Center. We feel that the directors and teachers are devoted to providing a solid education to the children they serve. My son is extremely happy there, he loves his teachers, the staff and has made great friends. We are able to see his excitement when he learns new things, As he would say, my school 'rocks'. LLC has recently completed a building expansion project. And it looks totally awesome. We look forward to many more years at LLC. A true place to learn and grow.

Finding LLC was a BLESSING for my son as well as my family.Not only have we watched our child succeed but we have as well.This school has an open door policy meaning if u have a problem discuss it or if u need help ask and they WILL TAKE THE TIME to do whatever they can.My child is in pre k but is on a 1st to 2nd grade level.We are constantly asked by other parents why our son seems so far ahead of other children and we can only give credit to LLC.There teachers take the time to work and care for their students.Some might say it's a little pricey but isn't any PRIVATE SCHOOL.If I had to complain about anything it would be that they only take 2yrs old and up because we have a 1yr old and I CAN'T WAIT till he can go to LLC.In my opinion this school EXCELS because of the environment,staff and owners as well as the outgoing support from all the parents.Don't believe what u read or hear go see for yourself and make your own choices.When your child blows your mind from their days experiences you will understand why its so GREAT. FYI...if u read the bad comments and what was said by an adult about a child u will see A ROTTEN APPLE doesn't fall FAR from THE TREE.
