"If i can give 0 star or even _ i will give it . Bad team and unprofessional. I called ashley and she promised me she will put my son’s name in the waiting list and he will start January . I asked her 3 time if she’s sure she was like yeah i guarantee you there’s nobody before you and he will start January . I scheduled a tour and before 2 hours they canceled it and then she asked me to reschedule next week, when I went they told me there is already people in the waiting list !! And we can’t promise you that he will start January ! I was really surprised and disappointed."

"after attending another daycare in the area & having a terrible experience in the preschool classroom, we didn’t think we’d send our kids to another daycare. Shannon made us feel very comfortable & welcome. Kim in the infant room did a wonderful job with our youngest & always thanked us for everything we were doing as parents. Sad to see her go but Madison did a wonderful job taking over the classroom. Marissa welcomed our oldest with open arms & helped her in the bathroom when needed (something the previous daycare told us they couldn’t do.) & she napped on the first day! Marissa is always doing such cute little activities with the kids. She makes learning fun! Our oldest no longer throws a tantrum going to daycare, she actually says she loves going to “school!” Our youngest is now moved up to the goldfish classroom & we absolutely love the teachers in that room! They are so patient & make the young ones feel independent. The curriculum really gets the kids ready for kindergarten, they’re actually learning in a structured environment (something the previous center lacked.) The communication at the office end is awesome, we are constantly getting updates about how our children’s day was. This daycare provides so many family opportunities during holidays & each month, they actually appreciate your family being at their center. They also bring in a lot of outside businesses that engage your children (karate & soccer just being a few.) If you’re thinking of sending your child to a daycare in the area this is the place to be! We couldn’t be happier! Thank you to everyone at KA, your hard work & love for the children doesn’t go unnoticed."

"My son attended KA from 16 weeks to around 18 months. Our early experiences were good, but once he was moved to the 18 month old class, things took a terrible turn downhill. Every day at pick up he would be sitting alone crying with no teacher attending to him or attempting to comfort him. Additionally, a classmate scratched his face (multiple scratches all across his face) in TWO different incidents on the SAME day. He was also pushed to the ground by that same child on the same day. When I picked him up, he was on the floor crying unattended and the lead teacher hadn’t even realized that he’d been hurt a second time. I never received an incident report and the Directors best solution was to put him in an alternate class. At that point, the damage was done and the trauma he experienced from being attacked by another child made him refuse to get in the car to come to KA. He felt unsafe, those conditions proved to be unsafe, so we had no choice but to remove him from the school. Proceed with caution if your child is of age for the 18 month old room."

"My son has been at Kiddie Academy for 3 years. He requires OT support. KA has been incredibly accommodating to him receiving this service and assisting with his sensory needs. The teachers all LOVE these kiddos and you can see it when you pick up and drop off your child. On my son's first day, the teacher gave him a big hug and all the kids came up to him saying, "Hi!" and sharing toys with him. These teachers not only teacher a curriculum that aligns with common core state standards (for all you educators out there!), but they also teach the social/emotional skills that many other facilities don't teach. Even during the 2020 shut down, these teachers provided parents with activities for the kiddos to do. Their app is great at communicating the food my son ate (or didn't eat), what the activities of the day are, fun photos of him playing, and diaper changes/potty breaks. I'm glad I chose KA and my son is happy to go everyday."

"My husband and I both believe Kiddie Academy is one of the best daycare/preschool in the entire area!! Their curriculum and structured learning programs ensure our kids are not only playing, socializing and having fun, but learning in fun and creative ways as well!! We are always amazed at the ingenious projects our kids are doing every day to help reinforce whatever they are learning that day or week… A lot of them disguised as fun, while teaching our kids. The teachers and staff genuinely care about our children and our family, and treat them as if they were their own. We’ve always felt a part of the Kiddie Academy family and would recommend them to anyone who asks!"
