Kids R Kids Landstar is a family-owned, DCF-licensed center at 540 Pinnacle Cove Blvd in east Orlando, holding both APPLE and Cognia accreditations and Florida's Gold Seal Quality Care designation. Serving infants (6 weeks) through school-age children, it offers a Brain Development and STEAM curriculum with SmartBoards, ABCMouse integration, live-stream classroom cameras, an onsite chef, and VPK (state-funded). The facility includes four playgrounds, a basketball court, and water splash park, accepts School Readiness and military child care assistance, and has operated since 2012. However, DCF violations were documented on four recent inspections (May 2026, February 2026, September 2023, June 2023), and two parent reports—one noting a child consistently coming home dirty, another citing morning distress and limited learning progress in a 3-year-old—suggest operational concerns that warrant direct in-person evaluation before enrollment.
