KIDZ ACADEMY,

1600 South Sycamore Avenue, Sioux Falls, SD 57110

"The owners are shady and tried to replace their existing staff without them finding out and when they did they all left. They shut it down for a month claiming because the staff left with less then 12 hours notice. Later that WEEK they had a new name for the daycare as well as a functional website. Even opening back up didn’t offer any of the previous families a space unless you pony up more money to re register. Amy stockburger and her family that own this daycare are shady at best. I would not let my kids be here nor would I let anyone associated with her buy or sell my property."

"We've been with Kidz Academy since 2019. Olivia has always done an amazing job caring for my three children over the years. She is the main reason we have stayed with the center. I am disgusted to see the way the owners handled letting her go, and the awful situation they have put the parents and children in with the closure."

"Sudden staff & director change. No information was given to families. No warning. Staff from Apple Tree taking over. This is no longer about helping families and creating a family environment. It's about raising rates and getting rich for the people who own KA, and you will never see. All reviews that they show on their FB are about previous staff. 2/6"

"This is the first center we have ever brought our kids to and we couldn’t be happier. Our 10 month old and 3 year old attend currently and have been going since June. As soon as we took our tour and met Ms. Olivia I knew this was the place!! Olivia is simply the best and has the biggest heart! She truly cares about the center, kids, and her staff. Our 3 year old loves the structure. He comes home singing songs, counting, singing his ABC’s. Megan, Miss Comfort, Maddy, CeCe, Jacque are all amazing!!!! They have a no phone policy for the staff, they have cameras so if there is ever a concern you can direct your concern to Olivia and she will handle it. This has by far been the easiest transition for us going from a family in home daycare to a center."

"Olivia is a fabulous director and she has been getting this facility together since a little before new management has taken over last year and has been there for years prior to that. She has been doing a great job hiring new staff and making sure the facility follows a structured schedule to ensure the kids have a great and safe day at Kidz Academy! Schedule a tour and come check out Kidz Academy and meet the staff and Olivia!"
