My son has been attending Kidz First for almost 2 years and we feel that it’s been one of the best decisions we made for him as a family. He loves ALL his teachers and staff, and most importantly, they love him, too. Everyone cares about each child and their classrooms are built for education and play. Everything the teachers and staff do for the children is intentional, and it is evident when you walk into each classroom, see the work they bring home and even see how the playground is set up. I toured many schools and felt this playground was planned out very thoughtfully for young children. They also help with potty training and teach emotional regulation. I plan to put my daughter in Kidz First when she is at the enrollment age so I highly recommend Kidz first for families who want to put their children in a safe, super loving school. A bonus is that they are open till 6pm.

My daughter attended Kidz First Academy for 2.5 years and we are so fortunate that we found them. We had a fantastic experience with everyone and our daughter found a loving, caring and nurturing environment to grow up in. When you are paying someone to care for your child while you work, it can be hard trust that they are giving your child the same love that she would get at home. Well, not only did our daughter receive the foundation for schooling, making friends and follow rules, but she developed a deeper connection with almost every member of the staff. We can honestly say that the staff grew to love our little girl and we grew to love them back. We would highly recommend that you enroll your child at Kidz First Academy. Your child will grow up in an environment filled with love, learning, fun and lots of hugs.

Kidz First was our daughter's first (and only) preschool experience and we could not have asked for a better environment for her to grow. The directors are very involved and caring and each and every one of the teachers are so special to us. We got to see how our girl thrived in their care for 2.5 years and feel confident about the TK prep they provided. The communication through the Brightwheel app was great and my daughter enjoyed all of the activities and programming put on. It was great to able to participate in Soccer Shots and Webby Dance/Gymnastics during the week at the school. Very thankful for all everyone at Kidz First and would gladly recommend them to friends/family in the area.

My daughter had a wonderful experience at this preschool. The teachers were amazing—caring, patient, and truly invested in the kids’ growth and development. They offered a great variety of activities that kept her engaged, learning, and having fun every day. I really saw her grow socially, emotionally, and academically during her time there. It was such a nurturing environment, and I’m so grateful for the strong foundation they helped build for her.
