Kiddie Academy has proven to be an excellent choice for my kids over the past six months. The environment is both fun and nurturing, providing me with complete peace of mind. The teachers genuinely care for my boys, and even those in other classes know them by name. The daily updates through the app, along with the use of cameras, further assure me that they are well-cared for. My oldest looks forward and lights up at drop-offs saying his teachers names, and my youngest is all smiles and cuddles with his teachers.To name drop since it’s well deserved! Sara, Sade, and Natalie at the front desk, Jasmine and Nadia in the threes classroom, Daniela and Jackie H in the twos classroom, Jackie T in the toddlers classroom (Can’t wait till Aedan is with you again!) and Yannete, Erica, Maird, Emily, and Lesly in the infants room have been absolutely amazing and understanding throughout our six months at Kiddie Academy. Their warmth and efficiency add an extra layer of reassurance that my babies are well taken care of. It's evident that the caring environment extends beyond the classrooms, making the overall experience truly exceptional. Looking forward to many more months and years!

We love Kiddie Academy of Irvine. My daughter is always so happy to go. She talks about all her friends, all the art projects and games she plays. She talks about her teachers that love her and the songs they sing. I know my daughter is completely safe and genuinely carried about at KA. My oldest started attending at 3 and left for TK and my youngest started at 4 months and is 2.5yrs old now. It's evident that the staff cares for their students. I love that they go all out to theme the office with big reveals that keep things fun and adventurous. The other parents are kind and pick up and drop off is very smooth. They have a new program that sends you updates on your child throughout the day which makes you feel comfortable and in the know with your kids. We would certainly recommend KA of Irvine!!

Kiddie Academy is the best!!! Our son has been going here since he was a newborn and he's six now! He's been in every room they have and they've all been amazing. Looking at the reviews you can not judge a book by its cover. Most of these are from 8, 9, 12 years ago. A lot of the staff was probably still in school at that point maybe even in the daycare. The girls that keep this place together have become friends and family over the years. Even Gino the chef. They've even been our babysitters at home on their own time when we've needed them. They ALWAYS go out of their way for the kids. Our son's friends and cousins have also grown up going here and we've never had an issue. From the babies to the school year to their great summer programs, if you took you child anywhere else you'd be missing out on a great opportunity.

I love Kiddie Academy! My 2 kids have been going here for over 2 years now, and we love everything about it. The staff is awesome! From the front desk girls to Mr.Gino and everyone in between. This location is always planning the most fun events, that give the kids and parents something to look forward to! My favorite perk has to be the time and money they save me by providing holiday photo shoots. So excited to have an opportunity to get the cutest spring pictures this season! I love that I don't have to take them anywhere else, just drop them off in photo ready clothes, and done. They really do care about the children and parents alike, Super thankful for them all

A Nightmare not a place for children! If you don't Care about your kids enroll them there !!!! Worst experience in my whole life my child got an eye infection after 3 days at this daycare he puked and no body inform me I noticed from his clothes and smell of his neck ! Cameras is a big scam there is no cameras in the playground or the food area! All what they care about is MONEY MONEY MONEY ! Paid over $3000 in two weeks! A 900 dollars deposit non refundable that doesn't make any sense! NOT Clean they leave the toddlers runny nose without cleaning ! Which is weird specifically during Covid! I will sue this place ! Even there summer activities are not safe for the kids ,Sara the manager and her team have the worst attitude 0 customer service and they never care about parentsand their kids! They leave kids naked in a frozen class with thir diapers for more than 30 mins !

My children went here and I wish they still did. They left in September but the teachers are amazing . Front desk is okay there's 3 , I think it's (2)twins & I can't remember the tall blonde pregnant women's name . The twins(?) Super nice and welcoming , pregnant lady not so much , maybe (hopefully) it's just the pregnancy but she's pretty nonchalant, unwelcoming & comes off rude at times. But she isn't necessarily involved with the kids so I just ignored her ass to avoid issues & prosecution . No experience with the infant classes . As for Classes 2yrs+ all of them are great , from child involvement to parent communication! Special shout out to Ms. Fatima . Ms Kathleen Ms. Flavia Ms. Nicole & Ms. Joally . they give this center 5stars alone ! Mr. Geno(?) (meals) really sweet .

With Covid 19 and Delta Variantit bothers me children are not required to wear masks at all Unified School District requires masks at all times My baby granddaughter attended and I noticed she wasn't wearing mask when i picked her up and noticed not one single child had theirs on I love nap time,playtime and teachers but this is kind of a dealbreaker for me She's only 4 and I don't want her to get sick Its scary for our elderly being quarantined I can't imagine for our babies Blessings

This is long overdue... at 3 months old my son started attending daycare here. His experience along with mine has been nothing but positive. With all the uncertainty of this past year, Kiddie Academy remained open and has been a constant in our lives. As other daycare centers closed down, they stayed open. I was able to drop him off and work from home without any additional stress of having my son at home. My son, Justin, has been there for 16 months now. I have met the owner, had many conversations with management, and child care is what they truly love. I already have a chest full of handmade items/crafts. They have a monthly calendar of activities for the children, which I personally love pajama day. Before Covid, the center did yearly portraits, petting zoo, swim day etc.They don't just watch your children, children have experiences there and they are teaching them. My son has hit his milestones months earlier than children in his age range. I also love that I can always see my child anytime I want because there are cameras in each classroom. Before I decided to leave my son in their care, I've visited a handful of daycare centers, and none of them came close. This was the best decision I've made for my son!Sent from my iPhone

My wife and I have two kids, 5 year old girl and a 3 year old boy, all of us LOVE Kiddie Academy. I can honestly say, after we drop off our kids in the morning there isn't one ounce of worry from us. We know our kids are having fun, learning, eating well (they provide all meals!), safe and most of all, we feel the staff gives our kids love. We can see this how our kids talk about their teachers. The staff has always been friendly and helpful, we feel we can talk to them about anything. As you can see, I highly recommend Kiddie Academy of Irvine.

My kids enjoy going to school at KA. The teachers are great with the kids. The front office staff is super friendly. At KA I know my kids are taken care of well.
