JKA was a great childcare center. Both my children went there, my son from 2 years old and my daughter from 6 weeks old and continued through after school care in elementary school. They taught the kids based on their age and cared for each child. They were like family and still are!
Our son attended JKA last year and I’m so thankful we found such a wonderful daycare. The staff was so patient with him as he adjusted to a new school setting and really made us feel so welcome. As a first time mom I was so nervous to leave my son in a new environment but I’m thankful for Mrs. Amanda and Mr. Mitch they helped calm my momma heart by giving me updates and showing incredible patience and love for our little guy. They were always happy to answer my questions and gave me very detailed updates of how his day went until he settled in. Sadly we moved after a few months and had to change daycares too but we miss it here so much. Our son loved the swings and the playground and talked about going outside constantly, which I loved! They let kids be kids, while also somehow getting them to walk instead of run down the hall and sit at the table to eat, two things I’d never imagined our 2 year old doing. But he thrived in the routines they set in his classroom and I’m so glad I took the leap and enrolled him in daycare. If you’re looking for somewhere that goes over and beyond to make sure your kids are loved and cared for then this is somewhere you should definitely check out!
I have had nothing but positive experiences with JKA. They take excellent care of my son in a very safe and professional environment. This is also one of the cleanest and sanitary childcare facilities I have ever encountered. 10/10!!!!
JKA has given me a whole different perspective on daycare centers after having a couple bad experiences. Every employee is very caring and treats the children as if they were theirs. I have 2 kids, 13 months apart, that constantly asked if they could stay at school instead of going home at the end of the day. That was enough reassurance for me. I am very thankful to have found them. I strongly recommend JKA for any age. They will always be a part of our family.
This center is 10/10! They have had my daughter from the time she was one and a half and she’s almost five now. They treat all the kids like their own family and make sure they are well taken care of and happy. If you’re like me and you have a difficult time trusting people with your child, this is the place you want to send your kid. They take care of my girl just as I would. And I’m so glad I chose them. You won’t regret sending your babies here ❤️
