My younger kid stayed here for almost one year. There are kind teachers if you have good luck, but not all of them: I saw one teacher pushed him rudely. The management was poor: my kid got moved to another room without any notification and the director handled the communication with parents badly. I will not recommend this place to any families, even though the location is convenient and tuition is reasonable. There is a reason why it's cheaper and there's no waiting list.

I was a parent of kiddie academy pupils for five years. I am so grateful for everything they offered to my two kids – especially during incredibly difficult situations with COVID.My son went through Kiddie Academy Burlington from three months until Preschool Graduation (age 5). In that time, KA’s attention to my son’s needs was evident – his ability to work 48-72 piece puzzles (age 1-2), name and describe the planets (age 2-3), do multiplication and division (age 4 – yes, really), and learn all the continents and countries (age 5) was directly tied to KA’s lesson plans, songs, activities, and teacher notes. My son left Burlington KA surpassing any kindergarten standard. Likewise for my daughter, KA connected us with helpful resources for physical therapy, including some state resources that came to the daycare to work with my daughter directly.I have tons of respect for Tina and crew. My only regret is that my daughter will not be able to finish there – we had to move cross country. Selecting Burlington KA was the best decision my family made while in the greater Boston area. Thank you!

Had a terrible experience at this day care. My son started daycare here when he was 3 months old and was here for a month before we decided to take him out and enroll in another daycare. Was told it could take up to 5 weeks before he would adjust but couldn’t stand it any more. Often times after picking him up his voice was hoarse as if he cried all day. The teachers don’t seem experienced with young infants and weren’t able to help him fall asleep. At home he fell asleep quite easily for naps but once he started here, some days he would only sleep 30 mins for the whole day even by the end of the month. As soon as we switched day cares it was night and day. He was able to nap fine at the new day care even on the first day. These teachers couldn’t judge his sleep cues to put him to bed at the right time. Sometimes I looked at the camera and could see him falling asleep on the floor and nobody paying attention to him. Also a few times I see him clearly crying on a boppy but the teacher spent time cleaning up the toys even when he was the last infant in the classroom. I asked the director if they could comfort him instead of picking up the toys and she blamed him, saying he cries too much. I told her it’s because he’s not napping and she just responds defensively saying we can’t make him nap.Overall I would not recommend and suggest to find a more caring daycare even if it may be a little farther. This was the only daycare I found relatively close without a wait list. I now understand why other daycares have 1 year long waitlists while this one I could join immediately.

Our son (now 24 months old) went to this center for about 3 months before we pulled him out, and not withdrawing him earlier is one of the biggest regrets of our lives. These people (esp the director Tina) are very quick to label the kids and they really do not care about the kids at all. If you want to drop your kids off there and not have to worry about their care for the next few hours (and as a parent, that's exactly what you want), this center should be the last place you would want to consider. But if what you're looking for is incessant complaints about your little ones and hour long phone calls during work hours, then you've come to the right place. Also, they will not accept their mistakes at any cost, and WILL GO ABOVE AND BEYOND TO DEFEND THEMSELVES through lies and manipulation of truth. Through camera access, I could actually see my son get his hand pinched on the door, and the class teacher (Kathy) didn't even spend 2 minutes trying to console him. After a second login about 20 minutes later, I saw that my son was holding the fingers he hurt and was still crying. That was the last straw - we got him out of this place and we haven't been happier. There are at least a few really good daycares around - please do not send your kids here.

My daughter went to this place for 1.5 years. We loved this place. My daughter was extremely happy going to this center every day. She was treated with kindness. They do lots of wonderful activities with the kids. The teachers were very nice. I would highly recommend this facility.

What a vile staff! My experience - rule for thee but not for me. There is Tinn or whatever her name is, she is RUDE, enjoys to disparage parents! seen her parking her car right in front, walks on the closest ramp which is not allowed for parents. We need to make a round to building, ridiculous! If it is for safety start with you and your staff!Seen other daycare but this is worst so far. I have many stories but leave it to you experience by yourself if you still decide to join them! Good luck!

Both of my kids go here, with the oldest about to graduate. My husband and I both love Kiddie Academy! All of the teachers and office staff are very professional and have always treated both of our kids like they are their own. They are always super flexible with our needs and always very responsive (both through phone and email). They are always thinking of fun activities for the kids and always finding new ways to keep them engaged, and I love that they provide all the meals and snacks. With Covid, they were always very professional with coming up with protocols and procedures and sticking to them! Tina and Steph who work in the office are basically super heroes, they do an excellent job of running the daycare, and making everything seem seamless, and also do an amazing job of keeping parents updated on any relevant information. The facilities themselves are also very modern, clean and welcoming - there is also a very nice outdoor play area (one for bigger kids and one for the smaller kids). Definitely worth checking out! I can't imagine trusting anyone else with my kids :)

by 2021 Sep. If you see my review, and if you want to consider the infant classroom, please be serious not to go there. Overall the teachers in that classroom are lazy and have no patience, and terrible.My son started in this center Sep 7th. Here are all my observations, well you can agree or disagree, breathe deeply and think of how you feel.There is a teacher, as the director said has been working in the infant classroom for a couple of years, well I wondered if this lady really stays here so long, it is the right choice for us to leave.She is a bully, she has no patience with my son, she showed non kindness at all.I talked with the director and ask them to check the video footage, it turns out that she said nothing is wrong. If there is a place that we can pool a vote, let's see how many people will have the same feeling like me.Let me tell you what I observed. This Miss (I wish I know her name) she picked my son so rough every single time, and every time when I saw my son is around here, I am so nervous. She is so rough to pick him up, and then my son became so grumpy, he will keep his leg so straight and resisted to sit down, he never does that before coming to this center. I complained with my husband, we both thought maybe he needs some adjustment. Well, it turns out that it became worse and worse.The last day, the Miss was telling a story and all the kids were around her, my son was on her right hand, she was showing a book to all the other kids, but she barely showed to my son in front of his face. and then my son lost the interest and crawl in front of her, I think he found a pacifier on the floor, and then the Miss picked him up so rough and my son can feel her impatience, and started to cry and she was trying to dump him on the floor, and then his keep his legs so straight. This screen crashed me, that is the normal way that she treated my son.and the day before, when they tried to put my son to sleep, but he doesn't want to, and he was standing in the crib, I can tell, he is very calm. And then she came to him, pick him up so rude, and dump him on the crib and walk away immediately, come on, this miss has a kid too, is that the way you put your kid to sleep? not gently at all, so rough and rude, and she did that more than three times, came back dump him and walk away immediately. I hate here so much, I wish I know her know so that I will report her.on the same day, two teachers rolled my son's bottle on the floor, and then gave my son to feed himself laying on the floor. My son can hold the bottle, but please do you eat when you laying down even you are a adult? you know the danger.Overall, this Miss never be nice to my son, but I have to say she is nice to two of the kids, on the same day when she dumped my son, my son crawled away, and then she held one of the babies, and show the book to him/her in front of her. If you compare the way how she does to my son and that kid, you will see the differences. if you cannot, i believe you are not a mom, I don't need your sympathy.On that day, it happened around 11am, I cried so much, and called and said I am going to pick him up soon, but I have to work until 2:30. And the director talked to me said if you are not comfortable your son is here, and i understand you have to work. so basically she is trying to say that if you worry your son why don't you leave your work immediately and come to pick him up right away, what does she try to imply? I don't know, but it make me feel that you don't care your son, if you do, you should come to pick him up right away.At the end, I can tell, they try to kick us out ASAP. Well I agreed and got all the deposit back. No matter I got it back or not, it cannot change the fact.The miss is a bully, if you want to send your young infant here, please make sure that miss is not in the class.

We have loved KA of Burlington since we first met the staff in summer of 2016. Both of our boys have gone through there and they have done nothing less than love and care for them as though they are their own. The facility is top notch and the staff is priceless with a relatively low turnover rate. I’d rate them a million stars if I could
