Not only have I worked here for 5 years come October but both of my children have attended. My daughter started when she was 2 and a half and all her teachers loved her like their own my son started before and after school care and they are amazing with him. He is on the spectrum as well as adhd and he can be difficult Or have a rough day especially when changing medication but they are always amazing with him. Loving him and keeping him calm. I couldn't ask for better teachers for my Kids or coworkers along with the most amazing front desk staff Ms. Wendy Ms. Angi Ms.Jamie read more

I learn something new every day from my kid in the VPK 1/2 day program. They do a lot of fun stuff and they really do love their teachers. I work at a school and was considering taking the plunge and bringing my kid to my school for PreK, but I made the call to do VPK here and I don't regret it one bit. read more

Very unprofessional. I spoke to Wendy who is the director of the academy. I simply asked if she had open enrollment and she answered yes. Then I ask if there is sippy cup policy at the school because I like my son to drink from filtered water that we would provide so my son doesn't have to drink the tap water that some daycare may use. She then explained to me that after the age of 2 we don't allow kids to drink of sippy cups as we will teach them how to drink of regular cup. Which is fine, and I could understand. Then I confused in her and explained that my other day care that I'm at now told me that the sippy cup policy was put into place partially due to my son specifically and when asked for further explanation that it was also because COVID19 they were not allowing kids to bring sippy cups ( (we were never informed that there was a sippy cup policy, nor did my son invent nor cause COVID19) So I told Wendy I was possibly interested in switching to their daycare because I was unhappy with the way my current daycare handled the situation, and to let me talk to my wife. Not more than 5 minutes later I get a call from my child's current daycare where they basically confronted and questioned me about that fact that I called another day care saying that I was thinking of transferring and that I was not happy about their sippy cup policy. concerned about the sippy cup. First of all, it is a violation of confidentiality, as well as, extremely unprofessional for Wendy, the director of a daycare to call my child's academy to let them now that I want to leave. Mind you, I have had on-going issues with our current daycares director for over a year now and had already been walking on eggshells with her about multiple situations where she has blamed our son for "issues" we were never made aware of. I felt so uncomfortable that I felt the need to pull my son out of the school at this point. When I called kids r kids academy and spoke to Wendy and ask why would she call my sons current daycare her response was "I know the director of that academy, being that I know her I thought it was best for her to know because I'm a director as well." She violated my confidentiality. She told me it's not a healthcare issue so she felt she can tell the director that I was upset. Come to find, the owner of Collina Kids Academy is the wife of the Owner if Kids are kids. But they are "not affiliated" and do not have permission to share confidential information. When I asked for her owner Barts number she declined to provide me with his contact information. Long story short be careful on what you run by them because obviously confidentiality is not something they practice. The owners and the directors of these two schools are very unprofessional, but I do give them an A+ for backing up their staff no matter what the "customer", or in this case, parents concerns for their experience and their children are. When this situation was brought up to the owner of Collina Kids, she also agreed that children's names should never be shared and that she's not sure why it was shared but she defended the directors decision to call and let her director know there was an issue regardless of any violation of privacy. It is obvious that my son will not being attending either of these schools. read more

I wrote this review for the other posting for this location, but I wanted to post it here just in case since there are two postings for one location: I cannot say enough great things about this place! My child was in the 2015-16 VPK 1/2 day program and we, especially my son, loved it. The teachers are attentive and caring and take an interest in each child. It is clear that the teachers love working with the children and care about their progression moving forward. They take the kids on several field trips and the teachers are on point. The kids listen and have fun. We were sad when the school year ended! As long as we are living in this area when my younger children are older, they will be enrolled here as well. read more

Please note this review is not a rampage or retaliation over my personal experience at this location. I'm writing this in hopes it actually helps other parents who may be in my position. My son started this school when he was 2 and he had two wonderful teachers Deborah and Nalany (who by the way are awesome). This review is truly about his experience as a 4 year old in VPK, he started off his new year with and I quote from his new teacher with "discipline" and "listening" issues. His teachers would always comment how misbehaved and disruptive my son was and even went as far as to keep a journal with details of his behavior. My son little by little started misbehaving and even using profanity which is a language he has NEVER said or learned from home. After speaking to the director Wendy, I truly felt hopeless and felt no support from the staff or his teachers. They were extremely quick to call me to come pick up vs learning ways to help deal with the problem. They even notated and told my husband I "laughed" at the issues he was having (I mean how humiliating is that- why would I ever do that in response to my sons behavior- not good and very unprofessional) At the end of the day, he no longer attends this school. He is now in a private school and is doing excellent ! His overall behaviors have dramatically improved and he's back to his normal sweet self. I'm now more convinced than ever that this was all due to the environment he was in at this school. Parents beware and please look past the pretty building and nice playgrounds and do some research. There are schools out there that are willing to work with your child and provide a positive school environment in which case He did not receive here. In addition, he only went one day on his last week and they refused to even credit me back partial of tuition (so unprofessional) and the front desk associate Angi is probably the most unfriendliest individual to work a front desk that I have encountered. So it's almost a blessing in disguised that he no longer attends this school! Thank you for doing me the favor. read more

My child has been at this daycare for the last two years. I only gave them one star, because the selection of none wasn't available. Tara and Bart are the worst people to do business with. They lost my child's paperwork and then never honored their vacation clause. They told me they were doing "me a favor by only charging me a half of a week and they were going to compromise with me" they screwed up and owed me a week per the paper work and then basically made it seem like she was not going to provide me customer service and hold up their end of the paperwork. They are the worst daycare in the area and I have had several issues with this company and non explained incidents with my child there. He's leaving after their summer camp thankfully and do not recommend a child going there for services. They don't put your child in their best interest. read more

This school is fantastic from the director to the staff! I am so thankful to have my son in this school. He previously attended a horrible child care center and wish I found this school from the start. read more
