We love Kiddie Academy. My twins started when they were 6 months old and haven't once cried when we have dropped them off. They are always all smiles - especially when their main teacher is there. They always have them doing fun activities. I particularly love that they share pictures throughout the day.
We have enjoyed the updates on some of the activities that are happening in the classroom. In particular how learning opportunities are incorporated within imaginary play. For instance, creating a store and learning about money. Our daughter seems to have learned a lot in the last couple of years. However, most importantly she seems happy and seems to genuinely know and like the teachers and support staff.
The biggest factor for us is that our daughter is happy to go to daycare and seems to be learning and thriving. It seems like she knows everyone in the building and will give teachers or aids a hug when she sees them. No matter how good a program looks on paper, you don’t really know how effective it is until you see how your child responds to it.
I also do appreciate that there is a structured curriculum for teachers to follow and a wide range of subjects are introduced. I also find the academy reasonable and accommodating. For instance, we’ve had no issues managing our daughters developmental therapy- on site, or even occasional late drop offs or early pick ups due to a doctors appointment etc.
The personal approach. The entire staff knows my daughter, and they seem very invested in her care. I always get updates and the entire staff has great communication. My daughter loves her teachers and is so happy to go to school each day.
Genuine care for the children and parent feedback. Last year it was a parent meeting with you all and I noticed a change in the menu to eliminate pork where possible and that was very appreciated. The staff is awesome and easy to talk to. Ms. Justice - Ms. Deja - Ms. Paula. I believe my child is actually learning as well. Would love if they can do bilingual material. Overall love and would def recommend
Our son learns so much every day! Teachers and administrators are very kind and listen to our needs and concerns. Our son loves it there and usually we have to pry him away at the end of the day…he doesn’t want to leave :)
