My wife has daycare/preschool background and I can say this is where you want your kids. We are able to focus on other important things having peace of mind with the environment and attention our little one gets. Highly recommend, take it from people that are actually there!

Lorena and the girls are absolutely amazing. Babysitters/daycare can be extremely stressful. I know…read moreit was before we met Lorena. Dropping our son off to babysitters, having them come to our home to watch him, and their passion and care wasn't anywhere near what Lorena shows our boy. He loves leaving each morning and "go bye bye in daddy's car" because he knows he's going there. I love knowing my son is not put infront of a tv while a babysitter sits on the couch and scrolls through their phone. Lorena and the girls are involved and active. Arts and crafts, reading, they go outside to play when it's nice out, and the pictures sent to me throughout the day are awesome. Seeing my son playing, smiling and being comfortable means the world to me. I literally have no negative comments to say. Everything is perfect for our son. Thank you Lorena !!! You are amazing

My child has been at Wirtzies since he was 6 months old and he's currently a little over 2 years…read moreold. This means I have now experienced childcare in 3 different rooms at this center and at different stages of my child's development. I chose Wirtzies because when we walked the center the assistant director at the time acknowledged children with their names as we walked through. She showed that the staff there would care about my child and treat them like a little human and not just a child. My gut felt that this would be a good place. They offer an inner generational program where the children have time with the elderly adults in their day program. This also was something that was of interest to me. My gut was right. They care about my child. My child has learned so much from them that he wouldn't learn at home. I get pictures and updates from them regularly. There have been incidents where he is hurt or hurts someone else. But you would be hard pressed to find a parent who watches their own child and never gets hurts. You can't watch your child 24 hours a day and neither can they with a state ratio of 5 to 1. They have addressed each incident appropriately. They care about my child and that is worth anything I need to pay them but they are affordable. I know they also offer state subsidized care if needed. My child is happy there. He loves his friends and his teachers. He even loves the ladies at the front desk.

Knows how to follow directions at home. I now love watching her sing and dance by herself. She is excited to go to school in the mornings and gets sad on days she doesn't have school. Andrea and Vanessa have made my daughter feel safe and comfortable. Outstanding teachers/caregivers are very rare. Hats off to Andrea! She just knows what my daughter needs (as if she has known her longer than a few months!) Vanessa with her kind smile, is there to help my daughter feel secure that she can wear her backpack till she's ready to take it off. Seriously, the teamwork that has been developed in this class is what any parent would hope for. To all the other ladies as well, I just wanted to give a huge thank you for guiding my daughter in this class! I am forever grateful! I drive away every morning knowing my daughter is in excellent hands!

We used this daycare for about a year and initially had a good arrangement. We signed a written…read morecontract for full-time care (Monday-Friday) and paid the full-time rate, even though we typically only used Tuesday-Thursday. We intentionally paid for all five days so we would always have Monday and Friday available if family plans fell through. About a month ago, our needs changed and we requested care Monday-Thursday, giving two weeks' notice. We were told she needed time to figure it out because she had already filled Monday/Friday with another child -- despite us actively paying to reserve those days. We tried to be flexible and worked out coverage for Mondays temporarily, then followed up to confirm a new start schedule. We received no response. When we asked again in person at drop-off, we were unexpectedly told we were being dropped from care entirely. At that point, we were also told our child had ongoing issues with sleep, eating, and being "too needy" -- none of which had ever been communicated to us previously during pick-ups, drop-offs, or messages. These concerns only surfaced after we asked to use the additional days we were already paying for. Overall, this experience showed a lack of communication, disregard for a signed agreement, and poor handling of scheduling. Being double-booked on days we paid for and then dropped with no prior warning broke our trust completely. While a short transition period was offered, the way this was handled made it very difficult to feel comfortable continuing in any capacity. I would not recommend this daycare based on our experience.

They both have watched my babies with so much love and affection. My 3 year old daughter Lilah loves going to her home and learns so much. My 2 year old son Lorenzo who is under review for possible autism spectrum has been cared for since he was a baby with so much patience and loving care. I feel so comfortable dropping off my littles and you can tell everyday they are so well taken care of. Kathy communicates needs, suggestions, ideas and works hand in hand with us on any special request. We will soon be adding another baby to our family and Kathy was so amazing, made me feel at ease and assured us our baby will be well taken care of which i am 100% confident they will just like they care for Lilah and Lorenzo.

I hate writing this but I need to. I even waited so long in hopes that this daycare would be back…read moreto the amazing daycare we once thought it was. Let start with what just happened this last Wednesday. My wife goes to pick up my son however he comes out without his back pack or water bottle we sent him with so my wife kindly ask that we do bring it back because we do use it for more occasions other than school. 10 minutes later the teacher comes back empty handed and asks my wife to go back and look for it herself. After instructing my wife that it should be with one of the cubby's, we realize he doesn't have his own cubby in the 2's room. Understandable considering he's transitioning into the 3's room. Well after no luck in the 2's she moves into the 3's room to find his backpack simply just sitting on a desk in the middle of the room. Fair enough, we recognized this was a newer teacher however, after careful inspection she realized even in the 3's room he didn't have his own cubby. My son has no designated spot for him in this school. Well, as upset as she is she takes my son home and notices a smell. Well, he's almost 3 in the process of potty training so maybe an accident? No. And old accident they didn't even bother to change his underwear after, as well as residuals on my sons butt from not being properly cleaned up. What's the point of sending the 3 back up pairs of clothes they specifically ask for if they're not going to bother changing my son after an accident, so now he has an awful rash that pains him just to sit down Now onto the tuition. For the last several months my wife and I have been paying for three days a week for my son to attend. Just recently my wife moved to part-time at her work and was able to take him usually an extra day so sometimes we would only need two days of daycare. After I personally spoke to the Director of the kids Academy daycare I was given the OK to only have to pay for two days of daycare. After about three weeks of doing so the Director comes back and tells me I've been under paying and I need to make sure that I pay back the remaining that I owe. well apparently she was talking about the extra day that we hadn't been paying for for the last couple of weeks because she told me I didn't have to. So they want to head and back charged me charging me a total of $250 cover the current weeks tuition of three days and the last couple of days we DIDNT send my son. Now they expect me to pay for 3 days even if he only attends 2 to make sure to "keep his spot". I'm sorry, what did I pay his $125 enrollment for? Oh right, HIS SPOT. I'm sorry Kids Academy but we as parents have been dreading our son going to your daycare we've even decided to send him elsewhere. Big disappointment and don't waste your money on this careless daycare that smells like dirty diapers the second you walk in. Disgusting

This chapter was a huge transition for both of us. I put my trust and heart in the hands of The Kids Academy. They were so supportive to my son and to me. I am so grateful because as hard as the transition was, they were patient, kind and caring. I would call daily to check up on him. My son grew to love this place and so did I! He became potty trained in a very short time frame. I noticed his vocabulary and speech enhance as he was talking more than ever in full sentences! He made friends, loved his teachers and we both learned to be comfortable with the separation during school/work hours! I will forever be grateful for The Kids Academy as they played a huge role!
