This is the best daycare cum pre school, especially if you live in Xchange community.. they have vegetarian options as well for every day lunch. my son loves going to school every day! Also lot of his school friends are in Xchange & so he plays with them at weekends as well. The only thing is, the monthly fees is little expensive compared to others in Secaucus area.

Our two kids attended this center since they were six weeks old. We couldn't expect a more positive experience. Kids are very happy and love this center. They have grown up to become very independent and happy kids during the past two years. There is a camera system that you can use to watch your kids throughout the day, which is very much reassuring for new parents. My two year old can now count in English and Spanish and recognize all the letters in the alphabet! We had a particularly great experience with Ms. Cassidy and Ms. Valentina, not to mention all other awesome teachers. All in all, we strongly recommend this center.

This daycare is a scam. The classroom posts pictures of what it seems like they are teaching but in reality they are not. Don’t be fooled, many employees has left this center due to their lies on their mission that they supposedly create for the children. Please I advise do not bring your children here.

I have taken notice that the staff here at Kiddie Academy of Secaucus treat their children as their own and are very friendly and welcoming to one another. In an environment like this one, your child is sure to acclimate quickly.

Terrible staff and unprofessional management.They don’t care what food instructions you give as a parent but they just give whatever they want/ have ready. Teachers are not professional enough and both teachers and management don’t focus on students growth / learning. They just pass day by making students to watch some videos or play on their own. That’s like we taking them to a park and leaving them to play on their own.Worst experience with this branch and don’t recommend at all.

Terrible management and unprofessional teachers!! no negative rating to give unfortunately.For a couple of reasons I'd not recommend Kiddie Academy of Secaucus branch to any parents -#1. Even after you tell them several times /constant reminders about your child's food restrictions, teachers don't care and they give food whatever they've for any day and my son got sick almost 5 times in the past 3 months due to this food reason. #2. Staff (especially those who manage the branch) have got lots of attitude and dont respond to emails professionally. #3. Teachers are not professional enough, and they're not trained/certified teachers to teach kids, literally your child will NOT learn anything new in this branch. #4. Management don't focus on a child's growth/ learning as much as they focus on collecting the fees, even if they're shut down for weeks or months for that matter. #5. I think most parents who live in Xchange community chose this branch only because its a bit to drop and pick-up .Overall it's the worst day care and not worth the money that you pay and they don't focus on child's learning/growth at all.

My daughter started at Kiddie academy when she was 9 months old. All the teachers and the management are very caring, friendly and professional. The location and services such as camera access and meals are very convenient. My daughter has learnt a lot and loves going here.

The child care service makes us feel like extended family. I can work at peace at my workplace knowing that my child is in safe hands and being looked after by professionals who care for him, teach him good habits and values. My son was here for almost 2 yrs and I can't think of even one instance when I had second thoughts of sending him to Kiddie Academy. The staff and teachers are extremely patient and take care of the kids well. Thank you for being my support system and helping me shape my child.

I know we made no mistake when we put our trust into Kiddie Academy with our 3 month old son. They are very professional and detail oriented. Our son enjoys his time there and they keep him busy with games, music, interactive activities from which he can learn and grow. They always have something new for him. They have a very structured learning curriculum that is tailored to each child’s learning needs. Ms. Cassidy is great with him as well as the other staff such as Liz and Melanie. They answer the phone right away any time we call. We love the open communication. I have my peace of mind at work because I can also watch him through WatchMeGrow! I love the daily report that is sent out just minutes after we get home with our son. Let’s us know what his day was like and fun pictures! I’m so happy our son gets to socialize with other kids, especially at these times. Overall, I am very happy that my husband and I chose kiddie Academy!Our little boy loves it!

Both my kids go to Kiddie Academy of Secaucus and I’ve been really impressed with the teachers, staff and program/curriculum.My elder daughter has been going to KAS over 3.5 yrs and my younger daughter for around 3 yrs. Kiddie has played a huge positive role in shaping our kids and I can’t stress enough how satisfied we have been with the overall experience.While 2020/2021 has been a testing time with COVID, KAS truly stepped up for parents like me by offering the Kindergarten program. While ensuring all COVID protocols were followed, KAS provided a safe environment for my daughter to attend an in-person KG school like environment.I’d like to specifically highlight the KG program that was offered for the very first time (~10 students only)- Exceptional Teachers - Ms. Patty and Ms. Diana have been great instructors and educators who not only focused on the KG academic program but also individually invested in every kid’s academic and social needs.- Curriculum - I believe KAS created a great balance of academics by incorporating Math, Science and Literature courses that I was hoping for my daughter.- Eye for Details/Focus - I was quite impressed that Ms. Patty was quite observant and focused on the needs of individual kid’s progress academically and socially. She provided us in-depth progress reports and a corrective plan of action to address areas of improvement.- Vibrant Environment - KAS did provide a great overall experience for my daughter who always looks forward to going to school everyday to meet her friends and teachers.Now that my daughter is graduating from the KG class, I can only say that sending my daughter for an in-person KG program was KAS was the best decision.I’d recommend Kiddie Academy of Secaucus to everyone without any reservations.

Our daughter has been with this center since she was 4 months old. She is now graduating out of their newly established Kindergarten program for the 2020/2021 school year. Originally, our daughter was going to attend the Secaucus public school at the start of the year and it was still unclear if they were going to be remote, in person or hybrid due to the pandemic. Kiddie Academy offered a safe, structured, in person program with limited enrollment of 10 children. This worked best for what we were looking for during this difficult time for everyone and her development. The limited enrolment with a primary and a secondary teacher allowed for a lot of 1:1 time with the students. Our daughter was not a number of many but one of few and she thrived. The school, since it is private, was able to advance their curriculum when all of the students demonstrated an understanding of the subject matter. Due to their curriculum, teaching style and 1:1 time she is able to read independently, add, subtract, count by 1's, 2's and 5's, solve word problems etc. It is amazing how much our daughter has grown since September building upon what she learned in their Pre-K program. The experience we have had over the past 5+ years with the teachers and administration have been pleasant and I never doubted that our daughter was receiving anything but the best care and education. A special thank you to Ms. Patty, Ms. Diana, Ms. Liz and Ms. Melanie for their support and dedication.
