    I would not recommend this daycare based on my experience. I found the environment to be…read moreunprofessional, and there seemed to be constant staff turnover, which made it difficult for the children to have consistency with their caregivers. I was also concerned that some of the teachers appeared overwhelmed and struggled to manage the toddlers appropriately. On multiple occasions, I witnessed interactions that I felt were too rough or inappropriate, which made me uncomfortable. As a parent, I expect children to be treated with patience, kindness, and respect. In addition, I noticed behaviors and habits being reinforced that I did not want my child learning. A daycare should provide a positive, nurturing environment where children are encouraged to develop good social skills and healthy behaviors. Every family's experience may be different, but based on what I personally observed and experienced, I chose to remove my child and find other childcare arrangements.

    This review to share my experience with Kiddie Academy of Fleming Island, as I feel it's important…read morefor other parents to be aware. Unfortunately, our time at this daycare raised serious concerns regarding safety, staffing, and overall professionalism. On multiple occasions, I was contacted and pressured to pick up my child early due to the facility being understaffed and unable to maintain proper staff-to-child ratios. This issue was openly acknowledged by staff and even reflected in notices posted at the front. My concerns escalated after a frightening safety incident in which my toddler nearly exited a secured playground gate due to lack of supervision. Situations like this should never happen in a childcare setting and significantly impacted my trust in the facility. In addition, communication from leadership was often unprofessional and dismissive. Rather than working collaboratively to support my child through normal toddler behaviors, we were met with repeated threats of expulsion. While concerns about behavior were raised, they were not handled consistently or constructively, and did not align with what we observe at home or in other childcare environments. We also attempted to implement a behavioral plan with the director, but it was not followed through, and within less than a day, we were again threatened with removal. This lack of consistency was frustrating and concerning. There were also other troubling experiences, including a noticeable change in my child's behavior at drop-off from previously happy to suddenly distressed and an instance where his nap items were separated from the rest of the class, raising concerns about possible isolation. Overall, due to ongoing staffing issues, safety concerns, and the handling of both communication and care, I no longer felt confident that this was a safe or supportive environment for my child. I would strongly encourage other parents to ask detailed questions about staffing, supervision, and communication practices before enrolling.
