Our experience at Kiddie Academy has been nothing short of amazing. I was referred to Kiddie Academy back in 2020 by a colleague. My family's plans to keep my son at home fell through, and we had to go back to work, so we had to find a daycare ASAP. I reached out for a tour, and that’s when we met the owner, Lauren. She was incredibly empathetic about our situation, especially since we were deciding to put our son in daycare during the pandemic—an extremely delicate subject. We were terrified, but she was reassuring and professional. The center handled the challenges of the pandemic with ease. At that time, there was a wonderful woman named Ms. Michelle, who was an angel in helping my sweet boy transition into the center. I will never forget her nurturing character. Other amazing staff include Christine, Catherine, and Katrina. They always went above and beyond for us. My son had some great years at Kiddie Academy. I'll always be so impressed at how much he learned there. My son developed some great friendships, too. Thank you, Kiddie Academy, for everything you do for the kids!
My husband and I can not say enough wonderful things about Lauren, her team and the teachers at Kiddie Academy! Our daughter has been there for over three years now and we have another on the way which we plan to send there as well! Finding the right daycare for your child when it is time to return to work is by far one of the hardest and most stressful decisions a parent can make. From the minute we walked into Kiddie Academy we knew it was the perfect fit! The teachers are absolutely wonderful, our daughter has LOVED every teacher she has had. They spend so much time with the kids, from doing creative activities, trips to the playground, circle time with songs and dance and even teaching them a second language! Kiddie Academy is doing an amazing job preparing our daughter for Kindergarten and I would highly recommend it to anyone! Thank you again to Lauren and everyone at Kiddie Academy for all that you do! 😀
Our twins have attended Kiddie Academy for the last 4 years. They offer an extremely safe, loving and supportive environment. From assisting and helping to master potty training, to teaching foundational literacy skills, they have more than prepared our girls for kindergarten. We receive photos throughout our day of our kids participating in the coolest activities, like helping to make their own smoothies, or making rock pets, or going on nature walks, or playing on their brand new playground! Every Friday is a fun day where the kids get to dress up as something whether it’s pajama day, or crazy hat day, or dress as a superhero day, my kids loved it! My husband and I are both teachers so the education aspect of it was always incredibly impressive to us. The teachers provide lesson plans every week detailing the activities your child will participate in. I was blown away by the level of creativity and time every teacher puts into their lessons. From the incredible staff, to the supportive and flexible director, we could not recommend Kiddie Academy enough.
We absolutely love Kiddie Academy. Our son has been going for over a year now, and we have adored all of his teachers. They have all been so communicative with us through the good and bad. We wouldn’t feel comfortable sending our kids anywhere else!
I can't say enough great things about Kiddie Academy of Albany! We enrolled our daughter there when she was 6 months and everyone we have encountered has been so wonderful! The teachers communicate very well and send photos throughout the day. Our daughter is so happy and thriving! I couldn't ask for a better establishment.
