Lauren is an amazing owner and ensures every employee has an abundance of support and resources to carry out their responsibilities. Kiddie Academy of Albany is one of the best work environments I have been a part of and it would be a great experience for anyone who loves working with children.

We had to scramble when the daycare we had been on a waitlist for a year for told us it would still…read morebe longer and we toured several places and Kiddie Academy was a no-brainer - SO much nicer than any other places we looked at. We were lucky that they happened to have an immediate space for our infant and the only reason we withdrew her was when her slot on the waitlist at our employer's day care finally opened up. The staff is the perfect combination of professional and affectionate with the children and the facility is clean and modern with lots of developmentally appropriate toys. The teachers really work hard to do more than just watch the children - they are conducting daily developmental play even with the small infants. The app was such a blessing for us anxious new parents - getting photos and updates throughout the day eased us tremendously. It's a little pricey, but I can honestly say it was worth every penny.

This was the most horrible place I could ever have imagined to put my daughter in. Thinking that…read morethis was an exceptional daycare I was mortified to see the disgusting conditions and unsafe working conditions where sometimes I would see only two caregivers two caregivers taking care of at least 10 infants.

Look elsewhere, and be aware. I had my first 3 children enrolled here beginning in 2001 and we…read morewere fine with the level of service and management at that time. My 4th child began attending in 2018 and we noticed a sharp decline in the program, specifically the UPK program beginning in 2021. Some teachers were great, very caring and they put forth so much effort. However, some teachers should be fired or offered more training. The management seems to take complaints personally and targeted our child when we started raising concerns about his day to day activities. The owner refuses to respond to emails, lied to us numerous times and was cited by Albany County for not reporting multiple allegations of abuse raised by us. Thankfully another parent witnessed one of these abusive situations happening and reported it to Albany County. Heads up, the teacher accused of harming my child is still employed and working with little toddlers. You can find further violations at allegations at https://ocfs.ny.gov/programs/childcare/looking/ccfs-search.php And after being reported for abusive behavior towards my 4 year old, REFUSED to return our $500+ deposit when we unenrolled him.

The issues with this place are numerous starting with:…read more 1. Staff kind but mis attuned and not helpful. We were here for a birthday party and instead of being fully staffed having enough staff there to teach and help all the kids climb they make each parent be with 1 kid...oops well I have two kids meaning that 1 of them couldn't participate. Absolutely absurd. 2. If you are FAT or TALL or your kid is FAT you will not fit in the small triangle that you must humiliating squeeze though to be able to do the "caving" I saw a grown woman crying because guess what ...if you don't fit your kids can't participate. You need to go with them. and for gooood reason....the caves are pure terror... 3. CAVE trauma ...Children including my own daughter got stuck and lost in the "caves" my 11yr old was banging on the wall for over 20mins until a random person found her, you can't hear her because it's loud in there. I saw another two kids terrified and hysterical looking though a small plastic window in the wall..they were stuck and NO staff helped a parent had to try to go in and find them but got lost. 4. The rock climbing itself was not fun at all the treks up are *VERY* short and most are super easy even for kids...ropes dangling all over, just awful. I've been to several climbing gyms and was a novice climber for fun in my younger years. I've never been to such a poorly organized kids party where adults and children alike were crying. If you are thin go alone and plan to avoid the caves you might like it there. Otherwise avoid. See the triangle that all adults and all children must fit though for your kids to even go to the birthday party if that alone is not awful enough if you don't fit or happen to be claustrophobic there is no staff there that can go on with the kids. Dirty and it's clear that the mats, walls and definitely the "caves" do not get cleaned. Avoid at all costs.

Me and the boys went for a trip, first time I ever went. This is such a gem. The caves are…read moreincredible once you get over the initial fear of tight pitch black spaces, it feels like a technical puzzle and there are loads of cool features such as Crystal looking rooms, windows, and zip lines. I can tell the tunnels (caves) are all hand made with care as some parts were tricky, but I never got stuck and I am 6'2". The fans give a nice feeling of relief when getting too sweaty, and it's great going with a friend. The price was amazing as well. I will definitely be going back, this is an epic discovery on my end!

There is a ball pit, a zipline, an upstairs play area that you get to by going up stairs and then down a slide, a dress up area with a stage, a rock wall, a trampoline, a see saw, Little Tyke Cars and Motorcyles, baby dolls, a kitchen place, and a variety of other toys. It had snowed the night before and I was wondering what the parking lot would be like, and it was snow and ice free. The workers have each person use hand sanitizer going to and from the play area. The bathrooms and the party area were very clean. I like that you can purchase snacks on the premise too.
