Our son have been attending Kids Rule Academy for 4 months now. As a parent I am very happy and very satisfied with this daycare! Teachers are very professional and friendly with the kids. Every day our son is super excited to head out to daycare and has the most amazing time there all day. Lots of learning time, playtime and fun/educational activities. I get multiple emails from teachers every day with descriptions of daily activities as well as pictures. The fact the KRA has cameras in every room and playgrounds is a huge plus. I can log in and watch what my kids is doing anywhere and anytime! Amazing feature! I would highly recommend Kids Rule Academy to every parent who is looking for a perfect daycare for their kids! read more

This was not the childcare facility for our family. We went through 2 tours/discussions with the Director before selecting this as the place to enroll our daughter. Unfortunately, in practice, we did not find KRA the same as what they advertised from our questions/expectations; and, at times, we found some of their policies concerning compared to our other daycare experiences. We withdrew our daughter after 3 days. I should start by saying, we have had 2 AMAZING previous daycares. In fairness, our standards may just be significant higher than most because we have seen it done better. I think if this is your only daycare experience it may not be the worst thing in the world, but it did not align with previous practices that we have come to rely on. These were my primary concerns with the toddler rooms: * Issue: Limited communication with parents. We asked about daily logs/App and we were promised a daily personalized email from the teachers regarding your kids day and any pertinent info. In practice, we got a generic (and in broken english) bcc'd email to all parents that did not include diapering, feeding, or napping info. This detail level was common practice at previous daycares and is required by state law (diapers). Without this info, at KRA we had concerns about them not changing her diaper at an appropriate rate; especially when she came home with a rash (and had not had one in over a year). Once we exited, there were only 5 diapers missing for 2.5 days (approximately 22hrs in their care which seemed really low). At previous daycares, they changed her every 2hrs per state law and went through 4-5 diapers per day. To me as a parent, this lack of communication was key because it helps me prep for the evening we are going to have at home (did she poop yet or does her tummy hurt? Is she starving and need a snack or can she wait for dinner? Did she nap for 1hr or 3hrs to help determine bedtime?) * Issue: Teacher to student ratios. We were concerned about engagement with our child after observing a classroom + ratios since she is a younger kid moving into an older classroom. We were told it was an off day and awkward time as they were prepping for snack. They said they complied within state regulations. In watching her classroom, the ratio was 10 kids to 2 teachers. State requirement is 8:2 for our daughters age group. Morning drop off was worse with 12+ kids to 1 teacher that we witnessed on their camera system. Additionally, we watched our daughter be ignored while crying in a corner after another kid hit her, we saw very little interaction at the kid level (playing on the floor with them), etc. When we left, the owner called this classroom "glorified babysitters". *Issue: Security. At our first daycare, I had to badge into the daycare building. At our second, they use a finger print scanner. At KRA, they leave the doors open. A friend of ours while touring witnessed older kids running outside without supervision because of the unlocked doors/lack of front desk near the doors. (PS we have never visited a daycare where we didn't have to buzzed in except this one). Additionally, due to the room set up (no windows on doors) older kid rooms doors are left open. This only became an issue during drop-off when the student-teacher ratio was so high. 2 older kids dashed out of the room, and the teacher followed them. This left 10+ kids unattended for a few minutes while she chased them down. * Issue: Safety. There was an unreported and undocumented level of care to a deep scrap on my daughters thigh. It had bled but no one could tell me if they treated it or not. I get they may not have seen what happened (she is almost 2 and falls a lot), but there still should have been an accident report from a regulation standpoint. *Issue: TV Time: We witnessed on the camera system a lot of TV time (more than what they told to us when we first asked about TVs in all the classrooms) and with that a lack of teacher involvement with the kids. The kids in the toddler class also seemed less verbal than what we were used to at other daycares and I believe that it comes from a lack engagement. We had a lot of developmental concerns here since our daughter has been considered advanced up to this point and we did not want to see her fall behind. Obviously not everyone has had this experience with them and they have some good clientele (doctors, lawyers, bankers). But, after 2 days, I consulted a friend in the industry and she said a lot of these practices would not be tolerated. It was at that point we decided to withdraw her. read more

Excellent and very professional place for kids !!!! Highly recommend to others !! A+ academy!!!! read more

My 3 y.o. daughter had a great experience at Kids Rule. We loved the teachers, how loving and caring they were. The level of education provided was exceptional, we were genuinely surprised by her progress by the end of the year. Teachers kept constant communication with the parents and we loved the ability to see them live on camera at any time! Hot lunches were very delicious, my picky eater now eats more variety of food thanks to Kids Rule:) I would highly recommend this school to everyone! read more

Our son was there for exactly 1 year and I can honestly say it is the best daycare we have ever used. The owner is a great guy and easy to work with yet he is very strict and cares about the children. We have a little girl on the way and we are sure to bring her to KRA when she is old enough. Thanks for your care for our son for the past year , we will be seeing you again soon enough. read more

We are very happy with Kids Rule Academy. The staff is very friendly, knowledgeable and caring. They serve healthy organic food that is catered in every day. The cameras are a nice touch to be able to check in on your child. Thanks Kids Rule Academy for everything you do! read more

We found KRA to be an excellent place to send our son (from 12 weeks to 2 years of age). The only reason we removed him from their care was because we moved from the area. His last day was a sad day for me as well as the teachers. They do put their hearts into their work on a daily basis. My son was happy to be there and definitely learned a lot from the teachers and other children in the classrooms. No daycare center is perfect for every parent. You can poke and prod and find dozens of things wrong with any facility. The challenge/goal is finding a center your child loves and that makes you feel secure as the parent. We all have different parenting style and different sources of anxiety. KRA was a good fit for us. At KRA our son learned and developed many of the things a 2-year-old should be able to do. He also played as much as possible and developed healthy behaviors with his classmates -- this turned out to be the most important thing for me. I just wanted him to be a happy, well-looked-after child when I was away from him. The previous post remarks on daily logs .. those are provided daily on paper, as are daily photos via email, and daily activity emails during the regular school year. During the summer, the kids are fortunate to be kids! They play outside as long as possible during the good-weather days and have adequate downtime as well. They are served good meals and provided with comfort during naps. I thoroughly enjoyed access to the webcams from my office and checked in often. I was never concerned about my son's care. The previous post also mentions security. The doors are only unlocked during heavy traffic times (drop off and pick up) and then are locked throughout the day. This level of security is okay with me... not okay with others. I love my child and care for his needs and desires deeply, but I also don't choose to coddle and spoil him with unnecessary amounts of attention/praise. I prefer to raise him up with some independence and confidence.. not dependence on approval/praise/hand-holding. I found KRA to be right in step with my style. Best of luck to anyone looking for a center for your child -- the options are vast and the styles greatly different. If you feel like you might vibe with this post, then I'd strongly recommend KRA. I never had any concerns about my child's safety or level of care. I could also feel the love the teachers had for my son. And so could he.. He was certainly upset when he could feel the teachers' sadness on his final day. read more

I would (and have!) wholeheartedly recommend this preschool and daycare center! My child started there at the age of two three years ago, and we both have loved it since. Some of my favorite things are: (1) the teachers: they are extremely knowledgeable, nurturing and kind, they know the children's unique personalities and learning styles, and how to engage them in learning and play; (2) the fact that the children are learning so much (numbers, language arts, music, art, learning about nature) and are having fun doing it; (3) that the teachers are paying attention and making sure the children are eating well (the list of the foods my kid likes has definitely expanded thanks to them); (4) the activities (gym, yoga, martial arts); (5) the children spend a lot of time playing outside (especially during the warmer weather); (6) how clean and tidy the place is and (7) (but definitely not least important) that the kids are taught to be kind and respectful to each other and to those around them. read more
