My son has been at Kiddie Academy for about a year now and I LOVE the staff. His primary teacher, Miss Ellen, is wonderful with him and is a very kind and gracious person. I don't leave reviews often but felt compelled to now because some folks have used Yelp to leave false and unflattering comments towards Miss Ellen and as a parent that has benefited from having her care for and teach my son I wanted to share my actual experience with her as well as all of the wonderful staff that work there. Miss Ellen, Miss Zoey, and Miss Britney have been exceptional and I adore them too pieces. I am so grateful for their care of my son (I had a pretty terrible experience at his prior daycare and can appreciate a great one). Miss Mel (the Director) is very hands on and a lovely person as well. The staff have treated my child with support and genuine affection throughout his time there. I have seen my child flourish under their program and highly recommend them to other parents that are looking for a preschool type learning center for their littles. (2-3 Year Old Classroom)

I like the daily emails that are sent out to the parents updating them on the daily/weekly focus area’s. I am even more happy about the photos that are included. I think that is a wonderful touch.

Do NOT entrust your kids in the care of Kiddie Academy, especially Ms. Ellen. When parents call, it's discouraged to talk to the child's teacher, and instead you have to voice concerns (or questions) to either the director, Ms. Mel, or other staff members. And, it's not guaranteed that the teacher gets the right message. Messages get really misconstrued here, and problems between parents and teachers arise. In our case, several messages weren't relayed correctly, and a verbal altercation ensued involving Ms. Ellen, who is easily frustrated and so tactless.

This review is long overdue. My son attended Kiddie Academy for 3 years. We picked kiddie academy because they made us feel comfortable since the moment we came in. Ms. Ellen was amazing. It's super hard to leave my little one in the first place but she was always so attentive to him and always made me feel at ease. We even voted her teacher of the year! Ms. Leah was his next teacher and she was just as great! This is probably where my son spent his most time and learned so much. He enjoyed learning and they really helped build on his social skills. His last teacher was Ms. Olivia and she was also amazing. She has so much patience with the kids and engages them so well. My son met his best friend at Kiddie Academy, was well prepared for Kindergarten and we just had an overall great experience!

Mrs Ellen doesn't care about kids at all . In fact after writing my last post she called me job and got my fired . I've been there 5 years!! I'm 7 months pregnant now not qualifying for a maternity leave and me and my 3 kids aren't going to be able to pay rent and we're going to be on the streets. Careful around this lady . Be cautious not to make her mad because she will lie on you and ruin your whole entire life.If you step foot in this place and have a sour taste in your mouth like I did be cautious of writing a review because she doesn't take kindly to the truth and she will with out a doubt come for you.

Kiddie Academy really takes time to listen to how you feel/wants and will try there hardest to achieve it for your child you yourself. I absolutely love every teacher they have there it’s constancy is the best, Also the great educational program.

lack of staff puts a huge strain on kids to where they are being picked as if they are an auction item to whose going to be in a fun class for the day or a babies class do to limited space . Why does this put a strain on the child well if you have an alert kid as I do daily he would have anxiety on rather today would be the day he would be in a fun class or would they pick another kid . Now if your doing this amongst The staff then that’s ok (out of site of the child) but no they sit In Front of these kids and break their hearts picking over smaller kids shifting kids from this class to this one ITS NOT RIGHT.Parents pay all this tuition money and the kids are not being placed in grade level classes they should be in they are placed where there’s room . I don’t blame the young ladies who work there I thank them for their patience but new management is HORRIBLE ESPECIALLY WITH THEIR LACK OF KNOWLEDGE ON HOW TO RUN THE PROGRAM the owner does not care as to what complaints parents may have and it’s sad . instead she goes by the word of these woman who of course cover their own behinds so they don’t get in trouble . What about the kid who went home sad cause he has kids saying send so and so to the baby class because they know when they hear SEND OVER TWO that’ someone has to go . Well IN this case that was my child and it tore him apart he’s sweet he doesn’t cause trouble at all but he has experienced this situation on numerous occasions . when brought to the attention of management every one covered their behinds and came up with excuses.My kid has been here for years and finally the straw that broke the camels back was when I finally decided to speak up on How they talk in front of these children with no regard as to rather these kids are listening . Well like I said my kid is very smart and has came home sad or down because staff is talking bad about other parents or his own parent and that hurts . Why would he be comfortable amongst woman talking about the only woman in his life his mother . It’s not OK . It doesn’t matter what the situation may be between two adults a kid should never experience that type of behavior from trained professionals. (The list goes on )Pros : dolphin class helped my son a lot with curriculum, and the kids are all amazing.Cons: management lies , they don’t take responsibility for there mistakes instead they make the parents feel as if they are wrong for speaking up .Would I recommend NOPE NOT IF MANAGEMENT IS THE SAME .

I'm revising my review to only one star and that's because there are a few teachers in this facility I have grown to like. If your child is in the ladybugs classroom or is a butterfly or really anywhere other than the dolphins class they will do just fine. However, if your child is placed in dolphins please be aware of the older white hair bitty that has been seen yanking kids by their arms, and talking down to them like they're dirt. Her military tactics seem to get overlooked by any of the management (even when there have been several complaints from other parents about her behavior), and is still working there even after she's been caught placing her hands on someone else's child. Don't people go to jail for that kind of thing?!? It is unacceptable as she is a bully to these kids and all management does is "talk" to her. Not okay and I will never recommend her class to anyone I come in contact with...ever!! She needs to be removed and her teaching license revoked.BTW, my review below was when my daughter was a butterfly :)Staff is great, and my daughter loves it!! It can be a little costly weekly, but having said that, you can't put a price on piece of mind and great child care. My child is thriving, learning, and is well cared for, and that is priceless, to me. She has really come out of her shell because of the staff. I would recommend anyone to bring their child here.
