I highly recommend Kids First daycare. I have a one year old that attends there now he knows his colors , shapes , and knows how to count 1-10. The curriculum they use at Kids First is awesome. My thirteen year old also went there when she was a baby and was writing her name at the age of three. I love the staff they’re always smiling and energetic.

Kids First is an amazing daycare that truly goes above and beyond for every child. From the moment we enrolled, I felt confident that my child was in a safe and nurturing environment. The staff is incredibly caring, patient, and attentive, making sure each child feels loved and supported throughout the day.

10/10 don’t recommend. Horrible recent experience with the director and owner. I can’t really get into the details and I would give a zero rating if I could. I wouldn’t suggest this daycare if they were the last one standing. The Kids were kicked out for a reason that had nothing to do with me or them. Then a fully grown man wants to talk about how someone lied on him with reckless regard to the children’s wellbeing, stability, or consistency. Then I spoke with him about it only for him to be dismissive and not acknowledge anything I said. He says you gotta talk to the director which is the person I asked to speak with anyways Fri while he jumping on the phone trying to be a whole gatekeeper and just like talking to a brick wall! Always hiding behind a mask, literally. It’s such a sad, sad 😢 situation.

Kids First daycare is hands down one of the best in Birmingham! The staff are always so pleasant and genuinely caring. Their curriculum is fantastic, and all my children have attended Kids First. I highly recommend them to anyone searching for a great childcare center at any of their four locations.
