Kiddie Academy Of Elkridge

Ms. Griffin I totally agree with your review! We had our grandson at La Petite, or "the mean school" as he called it. He is a much happier child at Kiddie Academy and he he thrilled to go there everyday. He is thriving, learning a lot and making friends. Mikayla is a hands on Director which is fantastic. Please keep up the good work!v Kiddie Academy, you have our total support

3,5 stars would be best. Kudos to the new director! We enjoyed our time at Kiddie Academy Elkridge, especially after the new director started. My 2 kids were there. My daighter from age 4-5 and my son from age 1-3. Ms. Makayla is a star. I saw how she trained the staff, brought organization to the center and upheld the high standards. She quickly fires those that are not up to par. She works well with kids with behavioral needs. She quickly responded to all requests and was there to cover emergencies. I saw many days where she was the 1st one there and the last one to leave. The center has improved in organization , education and cleanliness' since she started. I saw an improvement in the classroom management and teachers while she was there. Many other teachers were great as well. We love Ms Stacey. She took extra time to help and feed the kids. our sons most recent teacher in his room was great as well, it helped that she had a BA degree. The infant teacher was superb when our son passed through that class he was well taken care of. There has been transition and turn over of staff but the new director is helping to get things in line. The owner really stays behind the scenes so I cant speak much on her But I think she could do more to treat her employees better since they have the great job of caring for little ones. The summer camp program is good. Its busy with lots of trips and in house activities for kids over 5. We may be back in the summer for camp. I would like to continue to see growth, Maybe flowers outside and bring in activities such as music and yoga for the kids. The best part was that they provide a hot lunch for the kids and it saved me time for having to make lunch daily. I gave it 3 starts but it moving toward 4 and they should continue to improve.

This Kiddie Academy has been great! The staff is kind and seems to have a genuine interest in the kids. Mikala (the center director) really helped with the transition, and got our son back on the right track! We transferred to this daycare from the Kindercare (Marshlee Dr.) because our 3 year old was having behavioral issues, and the Kindercare staff couldn't handle it. Mikala and the Kiddie Academy team spent a lot of time with our son and got him acclimated to the new environment. With their support he has changed a lot and says he loves his teachers. They have made such a positive impact on my son. Definitely worth a visit if you are looking for childcare in Columbia / Elkridge.

I wish I could select 10 stars! Mikala, the Director here is truly astounding. My son was in Ms. Kelly’s 4 year old class and she was fabulous! I truly couldn’t recommend a better school for your babies. We pulled our son from Goddard because it was seemingly just the name, and had an awesome experience instead with Kiddie Academy!

The staff at KA of Elkridge were great to our family - they really looked out for my kids, and both kids were eager and excited to see their teachers each morning. We always felt welcomed, and the center director did a great job of making sure she had an open door policy. They are very professional, and both of my kids gained a lot from their efforts. They offer fun summer programs and they make sure the kids get a good mix of play and teaching time each day. I only wish I could have brought them with me when we moved!
