Do NOT PUT YOUR CHILDREN IN THIS DAYCARE. They cashed a check for $131 for a week, but my daughter never even attended! They told me she couldn't continue at the daycare, and yet they still cashed the check. They did this because they wanted to continue receiving the government assistance after she had already been absent five times, which is illegal. Furthermore, they have so many outdated rules! One of them is that you have to pay by check, and it takes them up to a month to cash it!
My children have attended this daycare for over 2 years now. The Director is very supportive and I can tell she genuinely loves my children. The staff has years of experience and work very well with the boys. Keep up the good work!
My son came home violent, he also was burned from a bad diaper rash from neglect, decent staff but I couldn't say the same for the director who seems to be either autistic, or just plain slow, she disrespected my 1 year old son after being in daycare for only 2 weeks, tried to kick him out by week three because of his crying, I'm not surprised by the reviews. I've walked in and seen kids walking into tables and walls while the staff were on their cellphones. They are lucky i didnt report them to BBB, my girlfriend upset we left but not me! My life has been much happier since. Staff even lost a kid while i was there!!! Terrible place LOL!!!!
Both of my children have been attending Kids Academy for about a year now. They love it! The owner and director are completely focused on the children. The teachers go above and beyond to make sure that all kids are not only well taken care of, but also are stimulated and immersed in a learning environment to prepare them to start kindergarten. The pandemic brought about many challenges for them (and us all). They make sure to follow the CDC guidelines to a T to ensure the health and safety of the staff and children. The establishment is multi-cultural and bilingual, which I love. Everyone is welcomed with open arms. If you want your children to be genuinely accepted and treated as not just another child, but as a member of another family, then this daycare is for you.
This daycare was a great asset to my son. Wish I had brought my son here earlier. I had my son at a different daycare that knew me for 7 years yet they were not able to work with my son...I brought him to Kids Academy and they worked wonders. Their Preschool teacher...although she can be tough she knows what shes doing and gains the childrens respect. Kids Academy is great and all the teachers and directors are awesome.
