I would not recommend sending your children here. My daughter was enrolled for 3-4 months. She was…read morepunched in the head twice by another student and no incident report was made both times. During this time my daughter was having extreme melt downs about going to school. The second time my daughter came home with a HUGE LUMP on her head and told us exactly whats been going on. A boy was punching her in the head. we called, talked to administrators, and talked to teacher Ms Paige in person. STILL NO INCIDENT REPORT WAS MADE and the teacher said basically she has no clue what we were talking about but she would keep an eye out. At this point i was in contact with a few employees besides the teacher on a personal level who confirmed exactly what happened and what child was doing this behavior to multiple kids and it was not being handled properly. They refused to refund the security deposit, charged us an additional two weeks that the security should have covered, then called us for more money staring we didn't pay for two weeks prior to withdrawing our daughter (impossible, we have all bank statements). Ella from billing was supposed to contact us and never did. We were supposed to be supplied with the owners phone number and email, and it never was given to us. We pulled our child because the program was ran horribly, not because we just decided to. Our child was not being protected which means we should have got our security deposit back, not it basically stolen from us than trying to charge an additional month. This place will scheme you right out of your money, take advantage of children's speech delays, and not take proper protocol to protect your children. On top of safety issues there are health issues where protocol is not being followed. Kids who are sick are never sent home even if they have a fever, coughing, and snot running down there face. In three months we got the flu twice, RSV twice, and Covid once. So your child will be consistently ill. MULTIPLE issues coming from every department in this place. Keep ur child safe and healthy- skip kiddie academy. The second i pulled my daughter from this place and put into a different preschool program she started thriving instead of declining in every area. I could only assume they stopped doing incident reports because another child had 18 of them with bodily injuries and no one had any answers. This is illegal and god only knows what has happened to my child during this duration of time since nothing was ever reported.

All she cares about that the kids that are paid by the state, stays there. she also disrespects her own staff because she's "head person" and treats them unfair. I have never in my life have I felt that if I dropped off my child, will they be safe. Never again

Terrible school, my daughter cried everyday I brought her. Turned out after I finally disenrolled…read moreher it came out that multiple times two little boys exposed themselves to her while they were not being supervised. In the bathroom together and out on the playground in the rock climbing dome. I have opened a CPS case and am taking legal action for the lack of supervision at the school and the trauma and loss of my child's innocence due to these dirty boys. The school is disorganized, every time I picked up my daughter it was like a tornado had hit the room. Toys everywhere, food on the floor and spilled on the tables, the food was disgusting and there was absolutely no structure. My daughter came home with dirty band aides and bloody tissues in her bag one day (that was the day I was like we are done with this place). Disgusting. Now I can not reach anyone at their corporate headquarters and no one returns my calls regarding funds owed to me and what transpired with those boys and my daughter. Sad disgusting unbelievable. They should be shut down.

I reached out to her asking for it, she answered once then kept ignoring me and I couldn't get a hold of her so I showed up at her door because I needed to get my taxes done. She came out as soon as I pulled up and was extremely rude telling me to leave I have her info I need on a paper she gave me a long time ago when my son was still there and she doesn't need to give me a statement. She stated she's been too busy. For 8 months she's been too busy to get me my statement. Meanwhile, she's supposed to be running a business. She was disgustingly rude and nasty when I said that and started mocking me and telling me she's not giving me it and told me to leave. When I first met her, she seemed very nice, a little quirky but nice. As time went on and my sons father started coming around more (we're not together) she started getting really weird and short with me. Well, he told me that she would always flirt with him and wear low cut shirts and bend over when he came. She would invite him in, try to get him to stay a while (meanwhile when I would come she's shooing me out the door) and be overly flirty. I believe this because at one point before all this happened, she told me she was hooking up with a 20 year old.... She's about 60. By the way. Weird. But it doesn't end there. She's super unorganized, any time I asked her for a receipt or anything I had to ask her about 10 times over several weeks to get it. It's not right, like what kind of business has an issue giving you receipts especially when you're paying them nearly 400 dollars a week? She always has a million and one excuses, okay you're busy? So is every one else but you're running a business Incase you forgot!!! I would text her asking about my son and she wouldn't respond. The other woman that is there sometimes helping out was nasty too and very cold. This is where I really started to feel uncomfortable and just found a new daycare. It's in her house, I don't know what they're doing all day and I wasn't getting any updates, I didn't know anything about their day because I was getting rushed out because she always had somewhere to be. Just save yourself the bs and go somewhere else. Surprisingly it even worked out cheaper for me to go to a main stream daycare too.

I made long term friendships with some of the staff there and the administration was fair and flexible. The school has a warm, friendly environment and is located in a gated community. So safe!
