This is the best place I could ever think of to leave my baby. Teachers are the best, Karina deserves a special mention, she treats my girl with so much love and care. Now she moved to a next room and also I'm very thankful of the way teachers treat all the kids. Facility is great and communication between the academy and parents is perfect. I would totally recommended Kiddie Academy Islip.
The entire administrative staff is on point. They are responsive and proactive. Additionally, Ms. Shanna is a sheer professional educator. She knows what the kids need and delivers it in a caring and nurturing way. My daughter loves being at KA.
Teachers are kids and caring. Great communication. My 2 grandchildren attend and ware starting kindergarten this September and are well prepared for this next step. Will be sad to leave this great school behind!!
My daughter has been a part of Kiddie Academy for over a year now and I believe it is an excellent center. She's learning to read, making friends and is overall comfortable with the place. The director Jamie is approachable and correspond to parents everyday by email. Teachers are friendly and caring to the kids. The center's design is great being an open concept so you can see inside multiple classrooms. There is a small safe playground in the back for play in good weather. Overall, a great place for children to be.
I originally was VERY nervous about putting my son in daycare. I visited about 7 daycares before enrolling him with Kiddie Academy of Islip. I chose the Kiddie Academy of Islip as they are close to home and the staff there really made me feel like this was the right place for us. During the walkthrough i was shown ALL rooms along with their outside area. Everything looked clean and the staff working with the children at that time seemed happy and attentive to the children (i saw no red flags). They explained how the day typically goes and showed me the room(s) that my son may be in. I was told no shoes were allowed in the infant rooms which im a fan of for obvious reasons and was told that they disinfect everything on the regular. They gave me any documents that i needed to fill out and even showed and explained the weekly menu to me. They were more than willing to provide me with any information that i requested, answered all of my questions, and seemed to be very organized with their processes. With all things considered i really do feel like this was the perfect option for us. The staff is AMAZING and so nice. They send pictures throughout the day and will call me with any questions or concerns (fever/sickness) they might have. If there are ANY changes regarding the schedule for that day, they post notices/announcements right away for all parents to see. The communication with them is great! I can call at any time and they always answer and have never made me feel like i was annoying them. They are always more than happy to help or answer my questions. My first week dropping him off, i was VERY nervous but staff really made me feel at ease. My son is actually very happy when i bring him there in the mornings and seems to love the staff as well. This puts me at ease and makes me happy as i know he is being cared for correctly and that the staff is showing him love and attention. His teacher Ms Rose is also amazing! Every time i pick him up, she gives me the rundown of the day with how he felt, ate, communicated with other children, and so on (even though they submit a daily report). This gives me more insight on his day there and makes me feel like i am not missing anything! You can tell that the staff here really cares for the children. Overall i am VERY happy with my decision of putting my son in this daycare. I am beyond happy with the way that my son is cared for and with the staff that works so hard to make his experience at daycare amazing. As a parent, i need to feel positive about the people he is around and the environment that he is in and the Kiddie Academy of Islip really does such a great job! I have built more trust in the staff every day that he has been there and i hope that this experience continues to be a pleasant one. I would 100% recommend The Kiddie Academy of Islip to any parent who is in need of childcare.
