A Truly Amazing Place for Kids!
Kiddie Academy of Kirkland has been a blessing for our family. The teachers are incredibly kind, patient, and truly see each child for who they are. My son has loved being here—his confidence, communication, and excitement for learning have blossomed more than I could have imagined. The staff always goes above and beyond, stepping in to help and understand a child’s needs even before a parent can put it into words. The classrooms are warm and full of thoughtful activities that make every day joyful and enriching. We feel lucky to have found such a nurturing, safe, and inspiring place for our little one. Highly recommend! ❤️

My child has been going to kiddie academy for the past month and it is the best decision that I made. The teachers are attentive and so loving! Ms Laurie and Ms. Naci take care of my baby like their own. Every time I see my baby on the camera he is happy and laughing.
Ms Payton the director is very warm and welcoming. She makes sure all the kids are well taken care of.
For anybody looking for a loving and nurturing place for their kids, please go to kiddie academy in Kirkland.

We’ve had a wonderful experience at our daughter’s daycare. The teachers are incredibly kind and caring. Her class teachers—Miss Bailey, Miss Katherine, and Miss Mina—are all fantastic. They engage the kids in fun and meaningful activities every day, and it’s clear how much they care about the children’s growth and happiness.
Miss Payton, the director, is also amazing—she makes sure each and every child has a smooth transition into the daycare and feels comfortable and supported.
We truly appreciate everything they do!

Our child has been doing well here and really enjoys her time with her teachers and the entire staff. We were made to feel very comfortable during onboarding and appreciate the efforts made to ensure a smooth experience.

We recently enrolled our 20-month-old son at Kiddie Academy, and the transition has been incredibly smooth, thanks to the amazing teachers and management. They were so supportive in helping him adjust and making sure he felt comfortable. The staff is warm, patient, and truly invested in the children's well-being.
Also, the standout aspect is the quality and variety of meals they provide—nutritious, well-balanced. It’s reassuring to know he’s in a nurturing environment where he’s well cared for, learning, and having fun every day. Highly recommend Kiddie Academy to any parent looking for a safe and caring place for their little one!

1. The staff is generally friendly and enthusiastic, and clearly care about the children.
2. There have been financial problems with Kirkland kiddie Academy. I never know what I am going to be charged until it occurs, and it can be difficult to get information from kiddie Academy, it took 5 phone calls over 3 weeks to resolve my previous concerns.
3. They are not great at working with divorced parents. If you and your separated spouse struggle to communicate, Kirkland kiddie Academy is not well suited for this situation.
Edit: Miss payton called me to help clarify some of these issue and develop a system to address it. While the system is still imperfect to address the aforementioned problems, it is good to know that there is staff that is working to actively improve the situation. I have raised the score from 3 to 4 stars reflecting that.

We love Kiddie academy of Kirkland a lot. Our toddler was in Kiddie Bellevue earlier and transitioned to Kirkland a few months ago, to our surprise our girl didn’t cry for a single day during those initial weeks drop offs because of the love and care Ms Bhavya gives during receiving child in the morning and throughout the day!! Ms Marieke and Ms Cindy are equally wonderful in keeping the children all happy and smiling till the very end and seeing happy faces when we go to pick them in evening up is so satisfying! The staff including Ms Olive, Ms Payton, Ms Casey and all others are so accommodating to all the needs and ensure the parents have a stress free experience with daycare. There is a big emphasis on learning as well along with routine care, which is great!Last but not the least, any small/ big feedback we had was immediately acted upon by Ms Payton (the director), it’s so nice of her to pay personal attention to the suggestions!Thank you Kiddie Kirkland for everything you do!!

Kiddie Academy of Kirkland and all of the teachers have been amazing at watching over, teaching, and helping our 1 year old crawling baby grow into a very active, fun, running, and energetic ~2 year old! Some teachers are especially fun and full of happiness and energy and I don't know how they do it.It's great they prepare a variety of food each day so we don't have to worry about that, teach to all ages, have great communication and newsletters, give outside time whenever possible, offer camera access, and offer automatic ACH payments for convenience, unlike other daycares. I have also found they have been great keeping track of all kids in a classroom from wandering out and while transitioning to their outside playground, which of course is important.

I love this daycare so much. I was extremely nervous about sending my baby to daycare after my husband and I's parental leave was ending. I was on a waiting list for this daycare for almost a year (got on while pregnant), and so glad I was able to get a spot in the infant room. The teachers in the infant room and toddler room are amazing, patient and kind. The front office staff is also amazing, as are the people preparing the delicious and healthy meals for the children here. My toddler loves the teachers and seeing the other kids in her class. She will give hugs and kisses, which shows me she is happy here. She does not even want to leave now when I pick her up. She has created some beautiful artwork at daycare as well, which I will cherish forever. They send great photos of her at the end of the day in the end of day report. The cost is high but you truly get what you pay for, and high quality childcare is one thing I would not skimp out on. She's tried so many new foods here, that would be hard for me to prepare at home due to time constraints. The location is super convenient. The only thing is I wish it opened a little earlier so I could get to work earlier, but that's just one minor inconvenience for me that isn't a huge deal. The classroom is very clean, and the overall facility itself is very well maintained. 100% recommend!

My now 9 month old has been in the care of kiddie academy Kirkland since she was 5 months. Her teachers Ms. Jovanna and Ms. Stephanie are extremely patient and good with little kids, tend to them gently and are not shy to give cuddles when needed. The program is designed as per developmental age of infants(in our case) and encourage them for developmental and cognitive milestones with more age appropriate activities.I’d also like to specifically mention Ms. Olive, Ms. Amelia, Ms. Plyton and Ms. Casey. Though they are not directly involved in the care of kids they are on top of their game and my little one enjoys their company.I highly recommend kiddie academy of Kirkland!

I sent my son to Kiddie Academy of Kirkland for two months. However, they were short staffed and there were no lead teachers. This also led to some kids playing rough and hurt my son. So we decided to pull him off.Edit: The center has called and discussed with us the actions they promise to take. We sent my son back to the day care and we saw that the center has taken significant actions to address our feedback. The teachers has listened to our feedback and paid more attention to our concern. That helped making the environment more fun and enjoyable for my son. We hope to continue to see the smiley face everyday.
