This is a terrible day care. Although most of the teachers…read moreare very sweet and caring the director is a horrible mean lying person. Her name is Christine and she is terrible. My child got hurt and she lied about it. My child can talk and said the teacher pushed him and she said my child lied. So not only will my child never be back I will do what I can to get Christime removed.

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.

As a mother…read moreand NYS certified educator, it was important that my child's first school experience was a good one. Ms. Daphnee, the Executive Director, was so warm and welcoming. The staff is as equally as warm and welcoming. The teachers and other staff are NYS certified and have many years of experience. The facility that houses Galileo Preschool and Daycare is well kept and very clean. The curriculum and educational program is equitable to the local school districts. Children are happy, well cared for, and enjoy wonderful learning opportunities such as themed cooking classes each with a Registered Dietitian, sensory play and age appropriate Math, Science and Literacy activities. Galileo Preschool helped my child become ready for Kindergarten and build the necessary social emotional skills that would ensure future success.

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.

This school has done an exceptional job preparing my child for Kindergarten. Last week she came home talking about the seven continents which she can not only name but can talk about music and art from each region. My daughter loves going to Kiddie Kollege, she adores her teacher and has made some great friends. I feel confident taking her to a place that is simply put - good at what they do. Plus its fun hearing her tell people she goes to college! It's no wonder they have been "majoring in minors" for over 55 years - I strongly recommend this school.

The owner Cheryl, does an amazing job with her curriculum. She prepares the children for Kindergarten with a well rounded education. Cheryl integrates cultural arts, music and physical activity into her program. In my 33 years of teaching, I have never witnessed an end of year performance as good as Kiddie Kollege. With Cheryl's background in the arts, she teaches music education by showcasing this in her show by allowing the students to express themselves creatively by singing and dancing. This gives the children the chance to experience stage presence which builds confidence. As a teacher, I have observed many elementary school plays, musicals etc. Cheryl's quality of shows surpasses any show I've ever seen on that level. Cheryl is an intelligent, dedicated, professional business woman that provides the children with a safe and nurturing environment. This is evident by the students academic achievement. I would choose Kiddie Kollege over any public or private pre-k.
