My 2 year old was coming home starving, despite sending him to school with a lot of his favorite foods. His lunch bag would be full at the end of the day. The staff said he was refusing to eat but he would point and grunt at his lunch bag as soon as he saw his lunch bag when I picked him up. He would take food out of lunch bag and eat the entire drive home. My completely potty trained 3 year old started having accidents, they lost his urine soaked sneakers and shorts for 2 days. Then those shoes and shorts had to be thrown away because I couldn't get the urine smell out. The place is disgusting, filthy dirty. The entryway floods every time it rains and smells like mold. If you look at the wood around the door frames, it's obvious that the space has flooded many times. Communication was awful. I would get little to no information about my 3 year old. I wouldn't know if he napped or for how long. I never knew if he was having bowel movements. Several of the staff members did not speak English. Many kids would be crying in the parking lot and not wanting to go into the building. An obvious sign that even the kids didn't like going there. Do not send you children here.

I wanted to write a review for awhile, but waited a little bit of time so I could sit down and sort…read morethrough all of my thoughts. We had enrolled with Kiddie Academy before they were even open for business; one of the directors liked to joke that my son was their first kid. It was a brand new facility that was within the neighborhood so we were excited to attend. KA fully opened in September 2017, and although there were some growing pains, it was a well-run daycare that was very responsive to parent feedback. My son had just turned 1 when he first attended KA. We've had amazing teachers - Theresa, Yolanda, Sam, Brandi, Katherine, to name a few. Some of them no longer work there for one reason or another. Turnover is VERY high here. I always thought it was peculiar when seeing their ads for teachers and assistant teachers that their requirements for early education were so low, but since we've always had great teachers up until this year, I never questioned it. I don't want to go into our personal history with this place, and all the detailed ridiculousness that went on in the past few months, but I do want to note that if your child tests boundaries or doesn't do well with passive teachers, this is not the place for you. Earlier this year my son went through a phase of rebellion and testing boundaries, and spiraled out of control because the teacher he had was too passive and a pushover. I would get a call everyday from the newly minted and extremely real-world-inexperienced director, telling me "I don't know what to do." You are a daycare facility, your job is to KNOW WHAT TO DO. Your job is to give your teachers, and yourself, the tools to learn classroom management for young children. There was none of this. One of the other directors even asked me to talk to my pediatrician and to see a therapist. A THERAPIST FOR A THREE YEAR OLD!!!! AND WE ACTUALLY WENT!!! Against my better judgement as his mom, we went, because we thought there might be some anger issues he had to work out. But there were none. He was acting like a normal 3 year old, testing his boundaries, to see how far he could push. The therapist even suggested possible abuse or bullying from other classmates/teachers, but we got none of that out of him. Finally, as a last resort and after almost a whole month of this behavior, they switched him to a different classroom with a more stern teacher. He did well and the calls stopped. After a few weeks, COVID shutdown occurred but did not shut KA down. There was a huge decrease in the number of teachers and kids in the classrooms. Throughout March, April, May, June, July.... We attended. We supported them. In August, as more kids and teachers returned, there were yet again changes to my son's classroom environment which resulted in his bad behavior resurfacing and at this time, I was fed up with the young, inexperienced director. I couldn't stand her almost daily calls asking me to pick him up because she "didn't know what to do anymore." I was ready to move my son out of this facility. After a week of her calling me to complain about his bad behavior I gave her a piece of my mind. We have been enrolled in a structured, Catholic pre-k program since school started and he is thriving and flourishing. The teacher has 30+ years of experience. I wish I could turn back time and take him out back in January when this all started. When kids behave poorly, it is the environment and the adults around him that need to change. I hated having to write this review in this manner as I have always been supportive of this facility even when other neighborhood moms complained about them. I was always on KA's side; I understand how small businesses worked and how much money, blood, sweat they must have poured into this business. But I can no longer do that with a clear conscience after my personal experiences and I can no longer recommend them as I have for the past couple of years.

Now entering her first year of public school, she has become so confident, independent and social. I can thank the teachers and staff for helping her development. Everyone is extremely pleasant and genuinely caring. The teachers are extremely observant and very communicative. The building is extremely clean and well maintained. There's a very good balance of play and education. Quality child care is expensive anywhere you go but I am very happy with my decision to enroll my child in Kiddie Academy. I would highly recommend KA to all for quality, educational child care.

I am deeply grateful that Taj's experience at Westbury Friends School, where he has been since age three, has exceeded every expectation. From the very beginning, WFS has seen Taj's light and encouraged it to shine even brighter. Westbury Friends School is a wonderful Quaker school--a true gem in Westbury. It has nurtured both of my sons: Amir, who began in 2017, and Taj, who joined in 2023. The school has surpassed our hopes in every way we value. WFS provides a loving, supportive, and encouraging environment that fosters a genuine love of learning. It is a place where curiosity is welcomed, where children feel safe to stretch their bodies, ask questions, explore ideas, and grow confidently into themselves. The campus, playground, gym, and learning spaces are exceptional. My children never want to leave--whether they are playing outside, exploring the gym, or engaging in hands-on activities in their classrooms. WFS feels cozy and warm, and the children feel truly at home there. They love their teachers and the Head of School, whose leadership sets a compassionate and joyful tone that radiates throughout the community. What I value most is that learning at WFS extends far beyond ABCs and 123s. My sons are learning how to interact with others, how to be part of a community, and how to embody courage, kindness, and open-mindedness. We have watched both boys thrive not only academically but also as thoughtful, empathetic, and grounded young people. That holistic growth is the greatest gift a school can give a child--and WFS provides it every day.

They are extremely safe regarding COVID at all grade levels and separate everyone into cohorts, so whenever there is exposure, we don't need to shut down the entire school. This entire school year, we have not yet had to stay at home due to COVID, which wasn't the case at the last school we enrolled our son in. As for his learning, his language has really exploded while being enrolled in the school. He has even started playing with other children so well and being interested in their activities, which I attribute to the great socialization at Buckley. My son loves going to school every morning. His teachers, Miss Susan and Miss April, are so wonderful and provide great updates on his progress as well as his classmates. The Buckley community as a whole is very welcoming and inclusive. Would definitely recommend!
