My daughter was attending pre-school before we moved so it was not a new thing for her entirely but she was still very shy with all the new faces and places when she began attending Kiddie Academy. The Kiddie academy staff was very patient with my daughter when she had her tough moments, and her teachers always took the time to make sure she felt comfortable and loved. My daughter's primary teacher was Miss Coy. She is an excellent teacher! She is very kind, patient and energetic. She also had class pets and allowed my daughter to do show & tell with her pet tortoise to share with all her classmates. My daughter raved about her favorite teachers Miss Coy, Miss Courtney, and Miss Meagan on a regular basis and was always happy to see them upon returning to school. Kiddie Academy offers a way for parents to watch video of their kids during class which was really awesome because it helped me feel better to know what she was doing throughout the day and how she was feeling. This facility also does events throughout the year not just for the students but also for the community which was a great way for me to meet other parents for play dates. I would like to thank all Kiddie Academy staff for their outstanding care and safety measures provided to my daughter. Her heart and mind have significantly grown while attending this facility.

My daughter previously attended this daycare in 2024, and at that time, we had a fairly good…read moreexperience. Because of that, we felt comfortable enrolling her in their summer camp program. even though it was under different management. Unfortunately, our experience with the summer program was completely different and very disappointing. One of our first concerns was camera access. We were initially advised that we would have access to the cameras, only to later find out that the summer program does not offer camera access. As a parent, I found this strange and concerning, especially since camera access was something we expected when enrolling her. There was also an incident involving another child putting my daughter's shoe in the trash can and then in the toilet. My daughter informed us of what happened the next morning. Although her teacher was aware of the situation, no incident report was written, and when we brought it to the manager's attention, she had no knowledge of the incident. The communication between staff and administration isn't the best In my opinion. The manager did inform me that she later addressed the issue with the student, which I appreciate. However, as a parent, I strongly believe an incident like this should have been documented and communicated to us when it happened. We should not have had to learn about it from our daughter. Another major concern was the lack of structure and learning. Whenever I asked my daughter what they did during the day, she would usually say they played or colored. When picking her up, it often appeared that the children were simply running around and playing without much structure or organized learning activities. Overall, this summer camp experience did not meet the expectations we had based on our previous experience with the daycare. My biggest concerns were the lack of communication, lack of documentation regarding incidents, no camera access despite what we were initially told, and the lack of structured or educational activities. Unfortunately, based on our experience with the summer program, I would not recommend it to other parents looking for a structured and well-communicated summer camp environment.

Erica is a rude unprofessional classless lady. I laughed in her face a couple times because anybody can easily walk out this hell hole . There's never a consistent staff . She loves to antagonize on the walkie talkie . Hence the fact the kids can't be controlled . I am a teacher not a parent for $12 an hour nope! We change the kids diapers 6 times a day and she can't keep up with her bogus schedule . So when the parents complain about running out of supplies for their child we are the one to blame . I walked out and found something better never worth it . If anything that place should be shut down. I knew she was weird when I noticed the uneven lines eyebrows and mask.

The staff has always been kind, patient, and attentive, and I truly appreciate the dedication they show to all of the children.

I LOVE Children's Learning Adventure! We bring these wonderful babies into the world and as…read moreparents, all we ever want to do is ensure they are loved and cared for. When you work, you can only hope to find someone or someplace suitable in which your sweet child will be safe, advance and learn all about their surrounding world, and truly be loved and cared for by others. After maternity leave, we started off with a nanny that we dearly loved. Due to some changes in her life, she moved on, and we decided to entertain the idea of our almost 2 year old going to daycare. Thank goodness for my strong, supportive, and encouraging husband, because this Mommy was resistant to sending our dear, sweet child to a daycare. Not that there is anything wrong with daycare, it's just all about finding one that will ease your Mommy (and Daddy) worries to allow you to make it through your work day without anxiety and fear of whether you've made the right choice. Look no further! Well, okay. Do your due diligence as a parent by scoping out other daycares, but then turn around and go back to CLA. CLA has been phenomenal with our 2 year old. The facility is always creatively decorated, clean, and safe. The wonderful people up front do a great job of monitoring and controlling entry. They know my daughter by name even though they aren't her teachers. They are always very friendly and personable. As for her teachers, they are amazing and very caring towards all the kids in her class. I often pop in and watch the camera monitors up front to spot check on her, and everything I see matches the daily activity sheet they provide to us at the end of the day. I have also seen my daughter running and hugging her teacher, and her teacher returning the hug. She was not aware that I was spot checking on the cameras up front. My daughter LOVES going to CLA. She comes home and talks about her teachers, by name, and tells us they are so nice, or they did her hair today, or they danced today, painted, sang a song...whatever it is they may have done or taught her. She also talks about her friends in the class and I love that she is learning and building on social interactions with other kids. We came to CLA at a time in which a new director was coming in. Her name is Joy. She is a delightful lady and is always approachable. I know that if I ever have a worry or an issue I can go to Joy and she will address it. These wonderful people...it's their job to ensure my dear little is safe and is learning, but they really seem to take their job personally, and it shows in everything they do. To Miss Bing, Crystal, Ashley, Frankie, Stephanie, Joy and all of the staff at CLA: Thank you for loving and caring for our daughter while we work. We would love nothing more than to always have our daughter with us, but you certainly come as close to loving parents in our absence as you can. My recommendation to anyone reading this...go meet Joy and her staff, take a tour, and see what they have to offer. I'm super pleased with this daycare and I hope you'll give them the opportunity to show you how great they truly are. All the best to you in your search for childcare!
