Hear From Our Happy Clients
Teresa A.
"I had visited quite a number of day care places and nothing seemed to be attractive, content or appealing until, I visited Connecting Hearts in Florida ADT. This place was beautiful. It's awesome. The ambience was neat, clean and well organized. I felt there was discipline. Hence, overwhelmingly impressed by the congenial ambience of this institution, I didn't hesitate to make up my mind to put my brother in this day care program."
Armando C.
“Our son loves to attend Connecting Hearts, he is always eager to go. The space is huge and welcoming, full of interesting sections to play and learn. The drop off in the morning is the most convenient we have ever experienced.
We really like the exercise he gets walking on the treadmill every day, and he enjoys it too. Maria, Lidia and Cecilia make sure he's occupied with activities and also give him space to unwind when he needs to. We are very happy we found this place for our son.”

"This adult center is amazing! My son started attending this program a couple of months ago and we are beyond thankful for everything that the staff does to help him succeed. He specially enjoys the physical and educational activities they encourage him to do. I see he is very happy when is time to go to his program and he always smiles when he sees Maria greeting him at the door. I sincerely recommend this place."
