What Parents Say
Little Tide Academy (formerly Kiddie Cove) receives mostly positive feedback from parents who praise the caring staff, clean environment, and educational approach. However, one parent reported significant issues with management's communication style and interpersonal skills, despite having a positive experience with their child's teacher.
I cannot give enough praise to these wonderful ladies! My son attended here before it was Kiddie Cove, and I was very worried when it changed owners. Mrs. Sharon has done an incredible job with staffing though! My son has learned so so much since the start, and now my daughter is attending. Mrs. Gwen has gone above and beyond with working with my daughter to help me with reaching milestones. When I say these beautiful angels love these children as their own, I 100% mean it. I could not imagine a more phenomenal place to send my babies to every day. I 1000000% recommend them to anyone looking for a safe place to send their children.
I just have to give them ten thumbs up. My first experience in this area was horrific. But Kiddie Cove is the best learning center I’ve experienced in my 13 years of child care. First of all I cannot even refer to them as a daycare because those are usually disgusting smelly places that watch your kids and sew absolutely nothing but tv in their minds or basic 123s and abcs. That is totally NOT the case here. My twins love it the atmosphere is so welcoming and clean and loving. On top of that they teach the kids and also incorporate God. My girls love church so the fact that they are growing spiritually and fundamentally is really superb. I love the staff and the kids are well behaved you don’t get the chaos you would at most centers. Keep up the grand work here guys. Thanks for taking such good care of my babies.
Let me start out by saying that I LOVED my daughter's teacher, Ms. Reka. She was wonderful and my daughter learned a lot from her. HOWEVER, The people who ran the place, Kelly and Brandi, were almost impossible to deal with. Kelly's general attitude is intense and her tone of voice is extraordinarily demeaning. Even with the children. Her pleasantness increased over time after I spoke with Brandi about it. Brandi was easier to work with in person, albeit her child kept her pretty distracted when it came to running a business. I have recently seen that over the phone, Brandi is much more bold and cannot control her personal feelings, which leads to yelling. If you like to deal with the drama, then this is the place for you! Like I said, my daughter loved her teacher, but is it worth dealing with difficult people? No.
This center is the epitome of childcare. I love the staff and my kids enjoy going everyday. I hate they’re not open on weekends. The staff give my children love and help them learn and I’m glad that this is their home away from home.
