I can’t honestly say anything about their care for children however I can say lot about their communication with me. I did the application for a tour online called the day before my tour to make sure I didn’t waste my time or their and there was an opening for my 3 year old son. No one returned my call. Showed up to the tour and told the Director I needed to know if they had an opening sooner than later because we needed get him back into a school. He really liked the director let her pick him up and everything. After that I was told she would call me back to let me know the next step. 3 days went by and I heard nothing so I made a follow up call asking them what should I expect. After my phone call I received an email with the registration link. So I completed it. Waited a few days and once again crickets so I called back to see how I go about paying the registration fee. A day later I get a phone call back, I was driving and said “can I call you when I get home.” So I called back and hear a parent talking to them in the background and was asked if they could call me back this was was before lunch. Nothing once again. Reach back out to them Monday saying I never heard back from anyone to pay the registration fee and can I do that. Was then told she was ready for my card information. I asked “ok so once I pay this registration fee when can I expect him to start.” Now I was told the director would call me in the next week or two. Ok so now we are 2 weeks out from our tour and your telling me it’s going to be other week or 2. I asked for the director to please call me back. 20 minutes or so goes by and the same person calls me back (not the person I asked for) and tells me the registration fee I’m being asked to pay for now is for May of 2024. Totally shocked and waste of time. I surely hope they communicate with parents better than this. Shocking for a place that has a good reputation in Vero

My kids have been attending for almost 3 years and I can say hands down this is the finest preschool in Vero Beach. The facility is clean, safe, and rest assured your babies will be given the best care and education. Thank you for the candor and kindness from Kendall Academy!

After 8 consecutive years, today was the last day I dropped my youngest off at Kendall Academy for his last day of Pre-K. 8 years ago my daughter started at Kendall & my son 4.5 years ago, from the minute my daughter started there I knew I made the right choice. The teachers & owners have always made me and my children feel comfortable & welcomed. The structured curriculum enabled my kids to grow academically & the experiential STEAM program & activities enabled them to grow socially. There are 2 teachers in particular, Ms. Eloisa & Ms. Rebecca, they had both my kids in their classrooms. I cannot say enough kind words about them. I truly believe my kids will ALWAYS remember them. It's never easy for first time moms, or second time moms, or third time moms, to ever have to bring your kids to Daycare, but it's what we have to do & I am so grateful that I was able to drop mine off every day at a school that I felt so comfortable with, where I knew my kids were loved. Thank you Kendall Academy!

I love everything about Kendall, how professional they are, good communication, how clean it is, and most importantly there school curriculum. I love how safe they made me feel with covid was at its peak. They are very cautions and take temperatures at the door. I love how young they start teaching the kids. I also love how Kendall provides breakfast, lunch and snacks. As a busy mom with a full time job this saved me a lot of time in the morning. My son started going to Kendall when he turned 2 years old. He always had excellent teachers. Mrs. Eva was the one that started with him and ended before going into pre K. Mrs. Eva is very caring and very patient with the kids. She thought my son the colors, ABC, how to color and a lot more. He loves music as well thanks to Kendall. He then started Pre K with Mrs. Rebecca she is truly amazing. She taught my son how to read, write and even Math. I was so impressed how amazing all the kids were learning quickly. He is sure was more then ready for Kindergarten. Graduation was so emotional and very well done. Not only did they have a beautiful ceremony but also we were giving a well done year book and a art book! They went above and beyond! My son will forever have this memories from when he went to Kendall Academy. I would highly recommend this preschool to everyone!

I absolutely love this pre-school. My younger kids graduated Kendall Academy few years ago and my youngest just graduated their program last week. My kids loved going to Kendall and often mention how much they miss it. Their teachers are so sweet and kind, so is the rest of the staff who slways have time to greet with a smile. The school is very clean not to mention the rooms, toys, bathrooms or kitchen. I trusted that they ate nutritious food which by the way was set on a rigorous schedule. It was amazing to see how the kids always knew what they were going to eat based on the day. Academically I can say with confidence that it was the best choice for us. On an emotional social perspective I would say ABSOLUTELY!?

worst day care in Vero Beach, kids get sick every week, most staff and teachers are rude with kids and parents, the kids spend the majority of the time in front of the tv, there's a reason why they don't have cameras and don't allow parents in the classrooms.

Excellent staff, extremely clean, professional, caring and loving teachers. Flexible hours and minimal closed days. My son loves it there! He is currently in their infant room. Ms. Laura and Ms. Betsy are just absolutely the BEST! Even if other staff is filling in his room, they are all sweet and super friendly. EVERYONE greets me, no matter what time of day or how busy it is. My husband and I feel safe leaving our son in their care. We tried another daycare in town when we first put him in daycare. Two days there and I was horrified. I spoke with the owner at Kendall and she listened to my concerns and genuinely cared about our vision for our son's child care. I truly can't say enough about this facility. The owner runs a tight ship and I love it. No place is perfect but Kendall Academy provides consistancy in quality and care. Thank you Kendall academy!

I have a 2 year old son and I was very nervous about putting him in a daycare or school. When I first started with Kendall I felt great, I loved them, I praised about them to everyone. Well my son got sick one day, from another child there and was diagnosed with the flu so we kept him out for 4 days. Brought him back and he did what a lot of kids do, he started to cry when I dropped him off but the teacher told me he's fine once I drop him off and leave that he will get better with time. Well I got another call that he was running a fever so his father picked him up and brought him to the doctor again. I brought him in the next day only to be told that I can no longer bring my child here. When I asked why, I was told because he cries and hes clingy and its not fair to the other children. I tried to explain that he has been sick lately and she stated well you cant bring a sick child here. My son was cleared by the doctor to go back and obviously there was another sick child there that gave my son the flu. My son was not the only child that cries when being dropped of either so I felt as if I was being attacked by how UNPROFESSIONAL this was. They decided to wait till I dropped him off to tell me I cant take him there anymore and hand me a bag with all his stuff. They should've at least called me the day before knowing I live all the way in Fort Pierce. I'm glad I was able to see the true colors of this company because I wouldn't want my son to be here 8 hours a day with people that clearly don't care. Choose another school. Don't risk taking the chance of being left without an option because they decide to wait till the last minute to tell you that you cant bring your child there anymore.

My son is 17 months old and LOVES going to school. Everyday he comes home he amazes me with what he has learned. I had him previously with a family friend, since he has been at Kendall my little boy has blossomed into a social butterfly. The staff at Kendall is beyond amazing, always so polite and respectful. Most importantly, my son loves them all. Every day when we walk out the door everyone is told "bye bye"and blown kisses.

Kendall Academy is a well-organized, educational environment for children attending day care and/ or pre school. They have consistent routines including play time, reading, writing, and much more. My daughter has been going there since she was about 14 months. I checked out all the daycare facilities in Vero Beach and this by far was the best choice. I'm amazed at how well she has advanced attending the academy. The teachers are very caring, responsible, and TRUSTWORTHY. I would HIGHLY recommend this to any parent looking for a structured, stimulating, and positive environment to place their child in.
