I cannot say enough wonderful things about Kids Land Academy. My two children have been in their care for several years, and the experience has been a blessing. Their educational program has prepared my oldest for kindergarten with age-appropriate worksheets, and it's clear that they are genuinely invested in fostering growth and development in every child they care for. They have an excellent outdoor play area, structured daily activities, and even a couple of annual field trips that make this daycare special. My son comes home talking about all his friends and daily activities. They also provide all snacks and meals for kids over the age of two, which is super helpful for busy working parents. As full-time healthcare workers with unpredictable schedules, finding care with a clear, consistent schedule and flexibility has been incredibly important to us. Kids Land Academy has been wonderful in accommodating our needs. Their minimal closures and understanding of our varying hours make it so much easier to balance work and family life. They have been very willing to work with us when adjustments are needed. A special mention goes to Mr. Naresh, who is possibly the calmest, most patient, and caring individual I've ever met. He has an incredible way with children, and I always feel at ease knowing that my kids are in his capable hands. His calm demeanor and nurturing nature create a safe and welcoming environment for the kids. I highly recommend Kids Land Academy to any parent looking for a caring, educational, and fun place for their little ones. It's truly been an exceptional experience for our family! read more

When you don't have family to watch your young child, and you have to work to pay the bills, you are faced with a very difficult decision to find a childcare provider you can trust to treat your child with the love and respect you would if you could just be there with them. When you consider how important these first years are to the emotional and educational development of your precious child, this decision is one of the most important ones you can make as a parent, and it requires a lot of trust. My wife and I faced this dilemma many years ago when we stumbled onto Lalita and the business she had just started, KidsLand Academy. Our son Jude was the first baby to enroll in what would become a thriving childcare built on the passions and talents of a woman who would become a Godsend to us and our child. Lalita gave our son many years of genuine love and care that no amount of money can guarantee. We were blessed to find her, and she and her family will always be close to our hearts, as they were willing to be the family we didn't have to watch our young Jude during those critical years while our family was just starting out. If you are reading this review, you are fortunate to have found her too. Jude is now 13 years old. He is a kind hearted, responsible, and respectful young man who has always been near the top of his class academically. He had a great start. Thank you, Lalita. read more

Such a wonderful daycare! My son has been attending for 7 months and we couldn't be happier. Naresh and Janett do such an amazing job caring for the all the kids; you can tell not only do they really care, but also that they provide a loving and supportive yet structured approach to childcare. They provide a play-based environment that lets kids be kids, while also including education (and Spanish!) to prepare them for school. They provide food and even help with potty training! All in all we are so pleased that we found Kids Land! read more

My Husband and I were so incredibly happy to have found Kid's Land Academy! Mr. Naresh and his staff have been wonderful in caring for our 2 year old daughter. We have seen a great improvement in her social and verbal skills and she is always so happy to join in and partake in the daily activities with her friends. She always comes home clean and happy. Mr. Naresh and his staff send photos throughout the day which we love to see. I would highly recommend this daycare to anyone looking for a safe and nurturing environment for their children. read more

My son has been going here for almost 2 years. He wasn't talking and after a few weeks here he started talking. The staff are kind and send updates throughout the day. Lots of educational activities and lots of play for the kids. My son already knows most of what he would learn in TK. They assist with potty training! I would definitely recommend this daycare. read more

If you are looking for a place that will provide your child with love, safety, fun, and an ideal educational environment, then Kid's Land Academy is for you. There is nothing harder than leaving your child with someone, but the Bakshi family provides my children and me a place that alleviates that stress. When my son turned one, I put him in Kid's Land Academy, after an experience from another daycare left me concerned about his safety. I needed to find a new daycare provider where safety was a priority, and I found that at Kid's Land Academy. He is now five years old and thriving under the Montessori style of instruction provided by Mr. Naresh and Ms. Janet. I now have a second child attending. I placed her in at four months and was once again pleased that they could provide a loving and supportive environment for a child so young. Mr. Naresh is a rare find in a provider. He possesses a temperament that my children find supportive, encouraging, and comforting. My son is always excited to show Mr. Naresh his favorite toys. My daughter always stops crying when Mr. Naresh holds her. Ms. Janet is also a gem. She has been able to teach my son things that will set him up for success for kindergarten, including some Spanish. The cleanliness of the facility and the standard in which they followed guidelines put me at ease. I saw the true measure of their faithfulness in maintaining a safe environment during COVID-19. Kid's Land Academy provided an essential service for me. As a nurse practitioner who had to continue to work during the pandemic, I know what measures need to be provided and was grateful to observe them surpass my expectations. I received daily reports and pictures about my kids and can genuinely say that nothing can compare to the peace of mind you get when you know that your child is in a competent and loving environment. I feel fortunate that we have found Kid's Land Academy and the Bakshi family. read more

Kid's Land Academy - It's picture like this that I get throughout the day.. Very happy momma!! - Child Care & Day Care Near Me - Redlands, California

Our son has been at Kids Land Academy for almost a year now, and in that time we have noticed a tremendous difference in his behavior and overall outlook when it comes to daycare. After realizing our last daycare wasn't the right fit for his needs, my husband and I became anxious having to find somewhere new to take him. I found Kids Land Academy and had a tour with Mr. Naresh. Right away he was incredibly inviting and put any nerves I had at ease. The daycare itself has a family feel to it, and it was incredibly clean. We decided to enroll our son, and we are so grateful we did. Mr. Naresh and Miss Janet's compassionate and patient approach have helped our son's confidence return. He's also a lot happier at drop off and pick up which makes us happy parents. I'm also appreciative at the fact that they assign homework and prepare him for school so that he's ready for the next step in his education. If you're looking for a daycare that is safe and nurturing for you little ones, I highly suggest Kids Land Academy! read more

This daycare has been a great fit for our family. As a working mom, I had to place my infant son in daycare when he was barely 3 months old. Mr. Naresh, the director of Kids Land Academy, gave us a tour of the establishment before we made the decision to sign up. My husband and I were particularly drawn to the low infant-to-teacher ratio that they strive towards. My understanding is that while they are approved to have as many as 5 infants at time, they only keep 1 or 2 infants so that they can provide the best attention and care. They have a practice of incorporating infants in many activities that the older kids partake, even if it means just watching. It's a great way for the growing mind to soak up the world. The outdoor play area is also very well maintained, and children are taken outside to play and discover at least twice daily. As a new mom, I appreciated the feeding, sleep and diaper logs, which I was handed with my baby every afternoon. The teacher would journal nap times and how much milk my son had and when. How often he received diaper changes (which was every hour routinely, unless needing sooner) and whether it was a wet or poopy diaper. The logs helped me keep on track with my baby's schedule so that our evenings and nights went smoothly. As my son transitioned into solid food, I asked the teachers to also journal the color of his poops so that I could gauge any adverse reactions. My son is now nearing 3 years old and still enrolled at Kids Land. He is very vocal, shows strong self-confidence, loves to be read to, and enjoys going to "school" every day. He can count to 20, name the days of the week, months of the year and say his ABCs. This daycare's disciplinary principle fits with our preference as well. There is no yelling at the children. When a child is being naughty, the teachers take the time to explain why it's important to be nice. Sharing, teamwork and caring is encouraged consistently. When all else fails, the child is given time on the "thinking chair". I am very grateful to the care that Kids Land Academy continues to provide my son. Mr. Naresh is also very accommodating and open to feedback whenever we've had any. With our second baby on the way, it's a no-brainer which daycare we'll be choosing again. read more

This daycare is by far the best I encountered. My daughter is two and learned so much her time here. She loved all of the staff, they are very caring and personable. They also provided a curriculum that stimulated her with structured schedules that included plenty of time for physical activity, quiet time (including daily reading sessions for groups and individuals), group programs, individual activities, meals, snacks, and free time. Naresh is very professional and kind. He was very kind and understanding to the special needs of my family. I look forward to having my daughter attend there New Montessori school in Redlands very soon. read more

Our youngest has been going here for daycare since he turned one, and we've been so happy with his care. He loves his teachers (LOVES Ms. Bena) and they've always been so sweet with him. They send photos and videos pretty often, which is such a nice pick-me-up while working. They also have a really good setup. It's a home daycare, but it's really set up more like a proper preschool. They have lots of different activities for the kids, and everything is out and available for them, which is great because they learn to pick up after themselves. They also focus on learning, and the kids work on drawing, tracing, writing, etc depending on their age and abilities. They have a great playground outside. Communication has always been really good. Everything is clean and organized. And my kids have always felt loved here, which was really important to me, especially since my youngest started there when he was so young. read more
