What Parents Say
Kingdom Kids Academy receives overwhelmingly positive reviews from most parents who praise the caring staff, engaging activities, and welcoming environment. However, two detailed negative reviews raise concerns about inconsistent discipline practices, staff supervision issues, and handling of special needs children.
My daughter has been going here over 2 years and hardly any issues before now. The past couple of months she had write up after write up and they give it to you, read it, then have you sign. No other explanation or offer of why it happened. One write up was because my daughter hit a boy. Come to find out she hit him because he kicked her in the head. He even wrote an apology letter. Any retraction from the daycare? Not if they want you gone. Maybe their over crowding caught up to them. Before this director it was not great but definitely tolerable. There were incidents of my daughter getting hurt and they would say "oh she fell" well I picked my daughter up early one day and opened the door to the playground and the "teacher" watching the children was buried in her phone. So if your kid gets hurt you know why now. She even tripped over the curb out front (in front of the pastors wife, no less) that had a piece of the sidewalk coming up and bloodied her knee. They fixed that after about a year and we never got an apology. So yes, this is the cheapest daycare in the area. For these reasons and im sure more you now know why. My daughter complained about "miss lee lee" and I can only imagine why. Fully investigate daycares before you enroll (Google this one!).
The word “daycare” doesn’t adequately describe what Kingdom Kids was to us and our daughter as it was so much more! We chose Kingdom Kids on the recommendation of a family member and friend. We’re thankful for that recommendation everyday! The staff was very caring and loving towards our daughter and she returned the love for them also. With the staff at Kingdom Kids it made it easier for me to leave my daughter knowing she was in good hands!
My daughter has been at Kingdom Kids since 6 weeks old and absolutely loves all the teachers and staff! She wakes up excited for school and is thriving and happy there. As far as the negative review about calling DCF, I trust them to keep my child safe and wouldn't want her at a center that didn't report if/when they felt it necessary. I would highly recommend them!
We absolutely love Kingdom Kids. Not only are they super friendly and welcoming, they offer so many engaging activities to enhance learning of all children that attend. Mrs. Tessa and all of her staff strive to make EVERY child feel welcome and loved. My son started attending Kingdom Kids when he was 1, and he has learned to count, sing and use sign language and he isn’t even 2 yet! I absolutely love and HIGHLY recommend this wonderful childcare facility.
I moved my girls to Kingdom Kids last year in September after having a horrible experience with another daycare in town. Mrs. Tessa was very respectful of my wishes with the kids and the care I was looking for. I recently enrolled my newborn into the school as well and his teacher is amazing. She texts me all day long with photos and how he is doing which reassures me that he is being loved and taken care of. My older daughters teacher in the 3-4 year old class has addressed all my concerns with her and the lack of things she had learned at the other school and I am grateful that she is on her level for next year when she goes to kindergarten. My 2 year old I had some concerns with as she doesn't talk a lot and she needed more outside time to keep up with her energy and when she moved to the 2 year old room her attitude finally agreed with her age :) I am very very pleased with this school. I couldn't thank the school staff enough for taking such good care of my kids for the 8 hours they are there. The pricing is great and affordable !!! I HIGHLY recommend this school !!!!
