Kiddie Academy Cclc @ Bel Air

I love the curriculum! I love the character essentials, which is unique to Kiddie and not found at most daycares. They are fully accredited and even seeking national accreditation, which is huge. The gross motor skills, fine motor skills, feelings, and communication are all rock solid. I love the people - everyone is so caring and loving on my baby boy. My only complaint is that I would like to see healthier food. Cereal for breakfast is the WORST thing anyone can put in their body as it's already predigested nutrients and wrecks a kids's blood sugar, which can lead to diabetes, obesity and other metabolic issues throughout their lifetime. Less processed food overall - it's okay to do graham crackers for a snack, but white bread should never be involved as that's the same as handing a child a bowl full of sugar cubes. I have gotten both of my kids to love veggies , fruits, and healthy carbs by preparing them well. The app is Tadpoles, and that could be more developed for 2 way communication, but it works. I love that my son is learning Spanish. He's only 22 months and has been going here for 4 months, and he knows about 20 Spanish words and phrases, such as "lavarse los manos!" The owners are so involved and incredibly warm and welcoming. They treat the kids as an extension of their own family. Overall, this is a great facility, and I highly recommend it to everyone!

We LOVE Kiddie Academy of North Bel Air, My son has been going there for over a year now, since he was 3 months old. All of the teachers are amazing and very hands on with the infants/toddlers/students. The owners and director are great to work with, everyone is very involved. They are extremely accommodating and you are always greeted with a smile. I love that i can check in at any moment throughout my day with the security cameras in every classroom (that is what basically sold me when making my decision), along with the daily reports & pictures. We have had an amazing experience and look forward to building an even stronger relationship with all.

I'm a little heartbroken about this review. This is a 100% accurate and detailed review. First off, if you have an active toddler, this is not the place for you. Some of the staff would roll their eyes or make subtle barbs about my son when I would ask how he did today. "We're trying", with an eye roll they would say. He is a sweet, but hyper and curious boy. Secondly, if your child doesn't nap with the other kids, they make them sit in the office instead of having a designated playroom. Your child sits in a chair for 1-2 hours alone. One day, he wasn't feeling good and they called me, I went to pick him up, and my 2 year old was in the office alone with a 50 year old man who is not a teacher. Which I felt was inapproperiate. But I didn't say anything. To attend, you pay a deposit and a week in advance. After attending KA for 3 months, my automatic withdrawl was declined on Friday for the upcoming week's payment due to something unexpected coming out of my account. After speaking with them, they said to just bring the payment in with my son on Monday (never missed a single day's payment). Sadly, they removed my son's box of belongings, removed him from the system, and the teacher made a snarky comment about my son the second he got in the room. That same employee couldn't wait to get rid of his stuff even though she was told he would be in today. Very sad. There was one instructor that is new that was wonderful to my son, for her I was thankful. I treated all these people with kindness and respect, and bit my tongue at the afore mentioned issues until they treated my son like he was nothing today.

We love Kiddie Academy of North Bel Air! The teachers, director, and owners are caring and personable. Our toddler son enjoys going to school, and feels safe and loved there. We receive a daily report, that shares the activities he did that day, along with pictures. It's so nice to follow the development of our child, and be included in his curriculum. The teachers and staff have an open line of communication with each other and parents, and ensure they are tailoring their care to each individual child's needs. Thank you KA, for making it easy!

We absolutely love Kiddie Academy of North Bel Air! Angie is so professional but also very warm and loving to our daughter. I had never put my daughter in child care until she was 18 months because I had to do virtual learning with my four other kids. Angie was quick to give me a tour and get us admitted. Super easy to work with and is very quick to respond to our emails and phone calls. The building is always clean and safe. Our daughter really loves it here! I highly recommend Kiddie Academy of North Bel Air!
