The best director I’ve ever seen, Amanda goes above and beyond to make sure every student is well taken care. My son goes here, Amanda understands his needs and wants also she makes sure his teacher knows how to properly care for him while i am not there so we both are comfortable. She treats her staff like family there is no other place i would rather work!!

Kiddie Academy has been a 2nd home for all three of our children for the past 5 years. We fell in love in the infant room and the trust grew from there. We know at Kiddie Academy our kids are loved and cared for. The staff and especially the director are so easy to talk to and express your feelings to. We feel so fortunate to have found a place our kids love to go and we know they are safe.

Kiddie Academy provides an exceptional environment for my child. I have complete confidence in the staff, and the director's leadership is truly outstanding. The added convenience of the app, offering updates about my child's day, is a definite bonus.

My Child has attended Kiddie Academy consistently for three years.I can honestly say I am a very happy parent. Their professionalism and the way they care for the children and their well-being is what makes Kiddie Academy stand out for being one of the best.

The owner is crazy, will clock you out without your consent or letting you know. Don’t put your kids here don’t work here.

Worst daycare EVER. If you want your child to be surrounded by filth and bacteria this is the place. Staff do not receive proper training. I’ve witnessed staff change children without gloves or cleaning the changing tables. The walls are disgusting the kids eat straight off the table with no plate or napkin. Plenty of codes not being followed, no outlets have light covers , there’s an infestation of ants that have been in the classrooms for months, rugs in all classrooms are visibly brown from dirt, staff are not given the proper supplies to deep clean classrooms. I’ve witnessed crumbs on the floors that have been left for days without movement. Owner is money hungry and has no passion for children. Bites are constantly being left unreported by staff. Based on pictures and food logs by staff ,Children are fed inadequate portions to sustain themselves and the meals lack nutritional value they are often being fed canned fruits , and canned vegetables nothing is fresh, they are also fed the same meals every week with no variety. They do nothing about children who have a constant biting problem, biting reposted will be made but ultimately there will be no termination of that child’s enrollment (that would be too much money lost for this daycare) One Staff member is clearly lacking hygiene with strong odor, visibly dirty hair and eyelash mites, these are not the kind of people you want to care for your child. Children’s cot sheets are absolutely FILTHY with weeks worth of stains, cot sheets are rarely washed, in the extremely rare event that the sheets are washed, no laundry detergent is used, only water. Multiple reports of child abuse have been made towards a specific staff member on her own child which attends the daycare and nothing has been done. Director and Owner are disorganized and dishonest to parents and staff. many issues have been handled illegally. The owner has forged signatures from employees and has lied to multiple employees about their starting pay (starting them less than what was agreed upon during hiring ) director nit picks at employees and has a rude and unprofessional attitude, emails sent are in rude and unprofessional tones.

Do NOT enroll your kids here. The teachers are clearly untrained and rude to the kids, some of them screaming at the kids. One teacher was left in charge of TWO classes causing a little girl to break her head open. We heard about it from my child before the staff mentioned anything. I receive photos of the teachers just sitting there on their phones. I just today tried to update my child’s authorized pickup forms, and the owner refused, stating she wanted a court document proving I was my child’s only parent. But wouldn’t even accept my child’s birth certificate! Which she would have already had, if only she hadn’t lost half of my child’s enrollment forms. This is for approved pickup, not even parent forms, and she did not accept a birth certificate as proof. In other words, they’ll allow someone unrelated to my child to pick him up after I SPECIFICALLY revoked authorization. They also owe me thousands of dollars due to being overpaid, which I’ve been trying to obtain for months. The entire staff is extremely rude and clearly incapable. Despite this, I’ve seen at least four tuition increases in LESS than two years. They’ve never given me an incident report for my child’s injuries. Not one of their “teachers” has ever introduced themselves to me. They close at random with less than 24 hours notice. I’ve reported them to the licensing department and they need a serious investigation. They also say things like “oh feel free to have an open discussion about this.” Believe me, I’ve tried. Between the director and the owner, not one issue was addressed properly and multiple were handled illegally.

Kiddie Academy really helped my family many times over the last 3 years. They are flexible and humane when it comes to running late to pick up my daughter after work.I would recommended Kiddie Academy over other local childcares any day.

They also owe me thousands of dollars due to being overpaid, which I've been trying to obtain for months. The entire staff is extremely rude and clearly incapable. The food is seriously lacking and my kid is starving by the time he comes home. Despite this, I've seen at least four tuition increases in LESS than two years. They've never given me an incident report for my child's injuries. Not one of their "teachers" has ever introduced themselves to me, and there's someone new just about every week. No consistency. They close at random with less than 24 hours notice. I've reported them to the licensing department and they need a serious investigation. I have spoken to the director of the moment (since they don't last more than a year) as well as the owner and not one issue was resolved.

This is hands down the best daycare my child has attended and we have been to a lot of daycares/home care. They are very flexible and accommodating. The director is so great- she is sweet, kind, and very personable. I have felt that their rates were extremely reasonable compared to other daycare centers. Their hours are fabulous too. The facility is always so clean and modern. I love the kids play area. My daughter who no longer attends this center because she is in school now, still remembers how much she loved going here! Thank you for making our lives so much easier when she attended here.

Infant room was great when the main woman is there. Otherwise terrible. Owner just wants money and care for kids parents. Very poor management of staff and will hire anyone. I was asked to leave work to get my child early bc of understaffing but would not receive any tuition back. They also do not always tell parents about incidents. Unprofessional at the very least.

Thank you for all what you did last 2.5 years for us and our kiddo. It wasn't easy for the staff but you did what you can the best. This is no one fault that you were short of staff or someone got sick. Your business is not the first and last that have the same problems but you shows us that you really care and did what you can to fix it. Best of luck for all you the stuff. I can be more happy and pleased that we pick you for daycare/preK . Best of luck
