    Disappointed- 2 incidents. 1. I had brought my son & as soon as we got there, there was a little…read moregirl (toddler age) sitting in a chair just sobbing. Not one adult was try to help her feel better, nor talking to her & one of the care takers said,"she's just sad because her parents left." She literally looked like she was in timeout because of her crying. When you care for children, you are there for them no matter what/ no matter how many times you need to try. Taking care of children requires a special gift. They need our help constantly. 2. I picked up my son & I immediately saw his face was red, running nose & extremely hot. My son is able to speak & he told me he didn't feel good. I did not receive one phone call about my son. As a child care taker you should be more aware. Checking children constantly to make sure everything's okay. You could clearly tell something was wrong with him just by his nose running, redness on skin & just standing there like a statue. That clearly shows me that those adults don't pay close enough attention to catch something like that & my son was there for hours. He said he had been feeling that way since nap time (1pm, I picked him up around 5pm). This place of business needs way better discernment & wisdom when it comes to hiring the adults to care for children.

    I paid for the a week of the summer program. Which they charge like some established preschools-my…read morepoint is that is not cheap. They allow tablet for "special" kids. My son shared that these special kids also got outside drinks. Made me believe they may be making that up or even if they were special needs, it's not fair for other kids to be excluded. My son would get skipped and miss his turn on the X box by some of the special kids and the teachers will often not keep their word that he could use it after lunch or a later lunch. I would rather no electronics but if you are going to have them it should be fair. I will not be brining my son here anymore.

    We started kiddie academy last week for pre k. The staff has been amazing with our son. We had to…read morepull our son out of summer camp due to the inexperience of counselors and disorganization . Our son dreaded going to his summer program until starting kiddie academy. We see him learning and enjoying his peers. He comes home with a smile every day. I can't say enough wonderful things about the staff and owner. From the moment we enrolled our child, we've been impressed with their caring staff and nurturing environment. The teachers are incredibly patient and skilled at fostering both educational growth and emotional development. Our child looks forward to going each day, which speaks volumes about the center's warm atmosphere and engaging activities. As parents, we feel confident and grateful knowing our child is in such capable hands. Highly recommend!

    Our youngest of three has attended Kiddie Academy of Stonebridge-McKinney since he was about 9…read moremonths old (in 2019). We love the teachers, the administrative team, and have celebrated many milestones with classmates & their parents. KA fosters a fun, safe, and healthy environment for the kids, teachers, and parents. The teachers are always creating engaging learning activities for my son. The teachers are super helpful with techniques of transition like bottles to cups, pacifier weening, eating solids, trying new foods, potty training, riding a tricycle, etc. Drop-offs are a breeze, my son looks forward to seeing his friends and teachers each day (if they are on vacation he totally welcomes the change with ease bc all of the teachers are fantastic and he is familiar with all of them) Pickups are also joyful, the excitement to see me and joy to end the day by giving hugs and sharing goodbyes around the classroom and through out the hallways fills my heart! During COVID their mask mandate, dropoff/pickup routine and cleaning protocols kept our minds at complete ease (for our little guy health and a member in our household personal health concerns during unprecedented times). Kiddie Academy of Stonebridge-McKinney is a great school for my family.

    I just wanted to bring light to the excellent job Ms. Ashton and Ms. Yessi have done with our…read moredaughter. I have monitored her improvement every week...and its amazing. I feel that's in direct relation to her teachers. Considering that she spends 40 hours a week with Kids R Kids McKinney. Our daughters vocabulary, verbal communication and comprehension, and math skills are in lack of better words, amazing. I've noticed both Ms. Ashton and Ms. Yessi's interaction with our daughter as well as other kids. These 2 are amazing teachers for such an young age. I feel we are very lucky to have them. Our daughter talks about them often with very kinds words, which makes me (a very involved father), feel at ease knowing she is in good hands. I can't speak for other parents, but these 2 ladies are an asset to KRK. Please let them know that we could not be more pleased with the work you are all doing. We are very happy to be a part of the KRK family!

I have watched and heard from video evidence with definitive proof. It's terrible and sad that these individuals are not only allowed to abuse the kids but with the director protecting them. This place is trash and EVIL. MAY GOD HAVE NO MERCY ON YOUR SOULS! You and your staff are pathetic low life people and deserve PRISON sentences!
