Both of my children have been given good structure and education, and the school provides great feedback on things we can work on so that our children are getting consistency. It is not just a daycare but an excellent preschool. The app is very user-friendly and the teachers do a great job posting pictures - grandparents are also very pleased! My wife and I have found the Kiddie Academy administration great to work with, as well. With COVID they have done a great job with sanitizing and changing protocols, and have been very responsive. We could not be happier.

This is a review for prospective parents for the infant room only…read more My husband and I toured this facility to see the infant room 4 months before our due date. We met with the academy director, Gina, and she gave us an impressive tour. Their curriculum is impressive and their emphasis on education and cleanliness of the school had us hooked. At the end of the visit, we asked about the possibility of enrolling our child. She said there was a waiting list, yet there was still space available for our daughter. She said it was "highly likely" we would be able to get a space. We asked her specifically how many people were on the list, and she wouldn't give us an answer or check, she just said that if we paid a deposit fee we had a " great chance" of getting a space. A few weeks later, we received an email saying that unfortunately many parents with already enrolled students got priority before us (perfectly understanable) and that we were waitlisted for the infant room for over a year! I immediately called the school as I was shocked that the change was day and night from what the director had told us, and her assistant answered. Turns out there were 38 people in front of is on their waiting list to begin with, and that the possibility of us ever getting a space in the first place was minimal. As a working pregnant woman, this situation really stressed me out. When I asked the school about the possibility of getting her enrolled after waiting a year, the assistant said it wasn't likely and that the wait was now actually over two years! I asked if I could get my deposit refunded because there was such a high discrepancy between what we were told at the time we paid and what we were being told now. She said absolutely not. I asked for Gina, the director to call us, and I am still waiting on that call. Worst customer service ever! Unless you have a child already enrolled, I would place a deposit at another school as a back up.

I can only give a 4 star as we have not used nor need to use the daycare services. The teacher is certified and does focus on the academics for Pre-K. All new staff and the director knows all that happens and can keep parents informed which is how it should be. I feel all the staff is great, no issues with any of them I have been in contact with, they handle the kiddos well. It's loud but I feel the main room echos and what kids are not excited to play, socialize and have fun; there is a ton to do and indoor playground for rainy days.

This childcare facility is very disappointing. My child started biting while he was teething. I…read morebought plenty of teethers to be strapped to him so he would always have something for the discomfort but I received photos throughout the day and he was rarely wearing them then the biting escalated and I seeked help from his physician who gave me instructions on correcting the behavior. It resolved quickly at home but the daycare would not do the timeouts and correction that had worked at home. Instead they tried to isolate him by putting him in a crib our strapping him in a high chair and continually switched his rooms and teachers to avoid correcting and it continued to escalate. I was dismissed and ignored when I was frustrated they were continuing to isolate him and inflating the situation. My child does not bite when he is with me and stopped after he was corrected over 8 months ago. Then today I get a call that his enrollment is terminated. Effective this week. I am a single mom who works full time and has paid on time for the last year totalling over $16,000. I have had teachers say they are concerned other teachers do not monitor him to descalate before it results in a bite because they are on their phones. When I brought this up to the director she asked who told me that and that teacher was never there again so I assume they fired her. My child is under the age of 2 and before this daycare he hadn't been biting at his previous inhome daycare while we were on the wait list. He has been with the facility a year and they also send him home for staffing issues and ticks as well. They find any excuse to send him home even though I pay them to watch my child while I work.

Fully consider before putting any money down. Staff is extremely friendly and informative. The…read morefacility is brand new and nice. Before being fully enrolled, we paid the application fee and enrollment deposit. Due to life circumstances we had to cancel our plans to send our child here. Although their rate sheet states the following below, our child was not completely enrolled and we provided a months notice. They advised multiple families were turned down and deferred to their rate sheet. With a months notice and current wait lists with daycares, I think they will easily fill the empty spot. The discount was a nice courtesy but doesn't make sense from a cost perspective and felt like any other here's a discount stay with us kinda thing. Guidepost would lose more money by providing a discount versus just refunding us. They were unwilling to discuss partial refunding or even work with us at all. I can't comment on the care as our child never attended. Proceed with absolute certainty before putting any money down as there is a zero tolerance and are unwilling to work with people. Enrollment deposit statement from rate sheet: "Your enrollment deposit both pre-registers you for the program and secures the current rate sheet. Enrollment deposits are applied to the last month of your child's enrollment in the school (see below). The enrollment deposit is nonrefundable under nearly all circumstances. The only circumstance in which the enrollment deposit is refundable is if we are not able to inform you of a start date within 6 months of submitting your enrollment deposit."

Constantly coming home with diaper rash as they are only changed on certain hours of the day regardless of whether they mess themselves in between. My grandson was constantly in time out for being a boy and a toddler and playing when they deemed he shouldn't be. The owner and teachers were like a drill Sargent. After speaking with one on my daughters friends that worked there for a very short period time, confirming everything that was going on as well as the kids were talked down to, they rushed the kids through their meals, only allowed water at certain times of the day. If the staff did diaper changes or went against there policy then they were in trouble. My daughters friend suggested we take them out of there for their safety. That was just her opinion, but after what all we had already experienced that was enough for us. I highly recommend you look elsewhere. I wouldn't bring a baby doll to this place. Young babies and toddlers can't tell you what they are going through and no child should be treated poorly for any reason. :( ONE STAR IS TOO MANY STARS FOR THIS PLACE. IF YOU LOOK AT THEIR FACEBOOK PAGE THE REVIEWS CONTINUE. IF THEY HAVE SAID CAMERAS IN EACH ROOM IT MUST BE TO WATCH AND SEE IF THEY CHANGE THE DIAPERS IN BETWEEN ALLOWED CHANGING TIMES.
