Kid Fit Kick-Start Academy receives mixed reviews with most parents praising the staff, activities, and care quality, particularly for after-school and summer programs. However, some parents report serious concerns about the director's management style, billing practices, and staff favoritism. The facility appears to excel in engagement and support but has operational and leadership issues according to dissatisfied families.
I can’t say enough wonderful things about Kid Fit! Our family has used Kid Fit for after school care and summer camp for both of our children since we moved to Long Beach 8 years ago. Rachael and her staff are the best of the best. They are very understanding, kind, fair, and gracious people who strive to teach our children how to truly be good people with compassion and understanding of others. They also help children grow their independence and self confidence through activities, positive attitudes, and friendship. I cannot say enough about this group. They help with homework so when I pick children up after school we can focus more on family time. The summer camp is great with field trips and events throughout the summer. Both of my children have loved their time at Kid Fit and I could not recommend them more to anyone who’s seeking childcare in the Long Beach area. We love our Kid Fit family!
Our child has been attending KidFit for 3 years and they have always been great. Ms. Rachel does an outstanding job managing the after school program and hiring excellent staff that care about the children. The kids get help with homework, play outside, swim, and participate in many other activities. If you are looking for after school care I would highly recommend KidFit.
Director is rude and miserable person. Withdrew my children after she threatened my kids that would left at the school if we did not get our issues corrected. Knowing they were over charging me. My kids were home for weeks with me during Covid. I was suppose to pay 65 dollars a week and instead got charged 95 dollars a week. This woman had no clue my children were not even in her care when I asked her did she not notice they weren't there?! I have had many parents tell me they can tell she had no love for any of the kids even the kids sense it. I have had counselors tell me she talks about all the parents as soon as they walk out. My child was personally bullied by her as she picked favorites. She has never been nice. The owner does not face problems on his own. They care about the money and not the kids. They do not stick to the curriculum. I have never met such a rude person in my life. Happiest day was when I withdrew my children from such a awful place. We have talked to several parents about the aftercare and I haven't found a person who likes them. Beware!!!
Kidfit is absolutely amazing. As a single mother who works full time, they completely saved me during covid by going out of their way to purchase busses to pick up the kids from the schools since the schools would no longer drop off. The price changes were completely reasonable when my daughter had one week off school and one week on. Every single business was left in a “what do we do” panic when covid first started and I truly believe KidFit handled themselves beautifully. My daughter loves their staff, and enjoys being with her friends after school. I’m very thankful for everyone who works at Kidfit!! Words can’t explain how appreciative I am for how supportive and reliable they are. 😌
Absolutely love this place and the teachers! Their summer camp has been amazing and our child has had lots of fun experiences.
