Kids Arena INC. Dba Kids Arena Academy

My 18 month old attends. I like the daycare. He has been sicker since starting daycare but its normal with the germs. I have to describe by the teachers, i have been having a good experience for the most part, all staff is not equal or the same. I love the teacher Ms. Cora. When he 1st started i know he was a lot, never been away from parents and no family support local so he was with us 24/7. She was patient and showed love, nuture and support. She understood seperation anxiety and comforted him. Babys show when they taken cared of, they latch to the person. He took a minute to warm up to Ms. Mimi but he now is on board and happy when he see her. Im a bit down when his main teachers or out, bc some of the other staff doesnt give caring/ empathy, or good quality care. For the most part with his main teachers, he is changed regularly, no issues with diaper rashes, when we pick him up they check and change him. And his clothes and face clean. Depending who in the class when they are not there..pick him up...nose/ face dirty..dry snot lol he look like "daycare child". I dont like it at all. I wish some of the staff would be screened a little more, as i have heard some shouting at the children and wasnt impressed at all. I adore Ms. Mimi and Cora.. im neverous about him going to another class... as some staff act and show one face when parents around and if you walk in and catch off guard with the children, its like u faking bc u see me... not real geniune care for what they do.. job i know can be tiring and exhausting, but they need to go if they dont have patience for babies/ toddlers/ growing children

do NOT bring your kids here! they will stay sick! They CONSTANTLY get hand, foot and mouth disease! they don’t clean ANYTHING! the facility STAYS dirty!!! i definitely would not recommend this daycare to ANYONE!!!! I would give them ZERO stars if i could!!!!

I have to give credit when credit is due. I have a 10 month old and a three year old. They have been going here for two months. I love it. They are very attentive, compationate and loving. They treat my kids like their own. I love that I can communicate with the teachers and get good feedback. 5 stars is not enough stars to show the love they give every kid. This is nice clean and friendly environment. Thanks for all your love and support and the care you give my children.

The staff at KAA are amazing! I never have to worry about anything because they stay in constant communication with what is going on with my child. My workplace is 35min away m, but I keep my child there because I trust the staff and I know he is safe. All of my sons teachers and staff love him so much and I love the way they greet him in the mornings and say farewell when he leaves. You will not be disappointed with the staff here, they will make you and your little ones feel welcome and a part of a family. Thank you KAA for everything that you all do!

My daughter been in this daycare since December. I just want to give a compliment to Mr. Brown for the friendly short interactions and doing things as such when they complained about my daughter doing things outside that were not “normal” for them, but other kids did the same actions. 0/10; don’t recommend. It was not a accommodating school. If you have an autistic child or a child on the spectrum who's hyperactive or dealing with any type of special needs, run. Teachers are not properly trained in that area most of them are young and have a high school education some are older and have health problems. Some teachers actually seemed on the spectrum themselves. When I first got to this school, the first three weeks seemed smooth. Before I signed her up, I gave Mrs. Brown the rundown because I had problems with the director of a different daycare (regarding a incident against my daughter and attuide against me I’m a first-time mom, what can I say?). Their response is, "Oh, mommy, she is fine. We have kids like that. We can work with her.” When I told you I received a call almost every other day regarding my daughter, Thank God I don’t have a job because I would be fired! My daughter picked up behaviors from other students that we do not tolerate at home. And even her teacher agreed she picked up behaviors from other kids, but when she displayed them, it was more over the top, and her teacher couldn’t handle it. Yes, she is a handful and when I tried to accommodate this school. Even when I started school they still called me. I finally took the shades off today; it was my last straw. I received enough calls to know my daughter didn't want to be at that school, she started eloping scaring the teachers(she was starting ABA therapy in two weeks). I saw things as such with her teacher Ms.Ty’isha interacting with other kids that I didn’t like, but I stuck it out because I wanted my daughter to be around other students and find structure due to her diagnosis.Everybody around me was telling me to take her out, but I just had to see it through. When I say I went over and beyond because I’m that mother, I made sure my daughter had everything. I participated in every parent activity, accommodated times to pick her up early, and communicated with everyone regarding my daughter dropping her off or picking her up on time without any problems on my end. I wanted to do so much for the teachers because I know they rarely get appreciated, but the things they do regarding kids are unspoken, and I see why they get the bare minimum from parents. I started setting boundaries and being cordial, I felt my daughter was overstaying her welcome. I received unwanted questions, even though they knew the answers made me seem like I was going crazy. I had meetings to figure out what the problem was. We went to endless doctor appointments to see if we could do anything about the complaints. And they all told me the same thing: she is a toddler. Every kid is different; what are they expecting her to do? There was a incident where her doctor wanted to call CPS on the school to see why an incident occurred that they had no knowledge about, and wondered why they called me for everything else. I noticed a bruise on my daughters face, and they couldn’t tell me how she got it(her teacher reported it because I made them aware of it). I spotted it a mile away when I picked her up. I stopped her doctor because I just wanted to not over think or be problematic. And even her doctor suggested to remove her from the school and to find another school for my daughter. PS: Just because you own a place doesn’t mean anything. In order to properly run a place, rules need to be followed, and they broke many rules but got it together when “visits” occurred from State or programs that did scheduled “visits” that children are part of and receive money from because they need them to keep their business running. Please, I know parents do not have a choice. Listen to the little voice in your head. Parents I could go on I rather not just beware. Update:Parents please research
