I took dance lessons here from 4th grade to senior year of high school. Suzanne and the other dance instructors really prepared me for college where I have a Musical Theatre scholarship. It is super fun to take classes here, and it is clear that the instructors really care about both their students’ mental and physical health.

If I could give this place zero stars I would. Please think twice and do your research before sending your child here! There have been multiple cases of child abuse, from forcing children to eat food that had been in the trash, to making them spend the rest of their day in soaking wet clothing due to spilling on themselves. I would not trust these people to take safe or healthy care of my children even if it were free.

Six years ago after my in-home daycare left the area I looked for a smaller place to send my son to where he could use up his energy and start preschool. I decided on Suzanne's because they had clear rules in place and she genuinely cares about the kids.
My younger son joined his brother at Suzanne's when he was two (she wasn't taking babies at that time though now she does). He also did well there. Suzanne and the staff handled my energetic boys well and did their best to redirect them to more positive uses of their energy. Though my boys are getting a bit older than Suzanne's childcare demographic, I still trust that they would be well cared for.

I've known Ms. Suzanne and her family for 23 years. My child grew up in her dance studio and my grandchildren attended her day care. I also secured her for several different children events, such as princess and superhero parties as well as etiquette classes. I believe her dance studio and daycare to be an educational, safe and nurturing environment for children and adults of all ages.

I have went to this school since Pre school and it has brought me some of the happiest memories attending her school as well as her dance classes, I’ve never been so thankful to have a teacher, a friend, and family member such as Mrs Suzanne Bellore

All 4 of my children have attended 2 years of preschool with Suzanne and another 10 years of dance and karate. I myself have worked for Suzanne in different capacities and recently took her self defense class, along with my daughter. There is no one else I would trust my children to like I do Suzanne and Bill Bellore. My daughter has often referred to Suzanne as her second mother. They are amazing teachers and mentors to every child that I have seen come and go through the years. I have watched how her programs have grown over the years and it looks like it keeps getting better. I can’t say enough about the love and support each of my children received under their care. Fine Arts Academy is an excellent choice to begin any child’s educational future.

Positive atmosphere. Children learn more here than traditional preschool. They have planted and harvested a garden. Great place.

The Fine Arts Academy is an excellent choice for child care. Suzanne Bellore, the owner, takes the well being and care of the children very seriously. The program includes basic teaching of ABC’s , music, numbers, crafts and physical activities. The children sow a garden each year and learn how to grow their own food. Her staff is very professional and well trained.
Suzanne’s primary concern is the well-being of the children and her relationship with the parents is based on mutual respect and trust.
My experience with the Fine Arts Academy and Suzanne spanned over 5 years. I never saw any poor treatment of any child, includIng how they were spoken to. The entire staff is there to provide top quality care in a nurturing and fun environment. I highly recommend the Fine Arts Academy.

My children have gone here for two years now. My youngest started at 6months. The girls are great. They are loving and stern when needed be. My boys have cried for these women taking care of them, sometimes not wanting to go home. I’ve used them as babysitters outside of daycare. Nobody is going to take care of your children the way you do, but these ladies do their best to do so.

Do not send your kids here!! They are disrespectful, abusive, and immature. Mrs. Steph was extremely disrespectful to my 5 yr old niece. Putting her in an infant high chair because “she was acting like one” this place is a joke. Save your time and money and go somewhere else.

I’ve send both my girls here, my one child who’s in public schools, is on top of her class thanks to all the academic learning that they provided through the time she was there, she went into school knowing her colors, spelling her name, count and her ABC. She also loves dance, she learned to care and be kind with others. Always asks to go back, we love Fine arts academy, and totally recommend to all family and friends

I was going to enroll my child here until taking the tour and hearing how the children are spoken to. Come to find out later an old friend of mine had sent her children here and had a horrible experience! Not a trustworthy place especially with children!

We go to Fine Arts for both the dance programs and the childcare/preschool program. Both are absolutely amazing. Suzanne and her staff are professional and passionate and provide a safe and caring environment for the kids. Just the best.

Fine Arts Academy is an excellent all around place to learn from dedicated and professional people who are truly passionate about what they do. They offer so many things under one roof! Preschool/child care, dance classes, tumbling, karate, music, art, and more. Suzanne, Carly and the rest of the teachers are excellent and very hands on and it shows in everything they do. I highly recommend checking them out!

Fine Arts Academy of Dance has exposed my daughter to a wealth of education, when it comes to dance. The teachers are top notch. They come from a wide range of backgrounds, and bring heart, and professionalism to each class. I have seen my daughter excited to put in the hard work to be a better dancer and person because of the encouragement she receives here. We are so glad to call The Fine Arts Academy of Dance home!

I attended this dance school from age 3 to 13, until I left to attend a prestigious pre-professional ballet boarding school. The training I received at Fine Arts was superior in terms of technique, stage presence, and choreography, preparing me for the world of professional dance. But I also learned determination, courage, and teamwork here. Suzanne, the director, is an excellent instructor who instills in her students not only skills, but character. Fine Arts made me who I am today, and I would recommend it to anyone.
