We have loved our experience at Kiddie Academy. Every teacher, including the director have played an important part in making sure my daughter feels comfortable and safe at school. They are flexible and teachers take the time every day to talk with me about my daughters day and any issues we can work on together

Our family has been apart of Kiddie Academy of Fuquay-Varina for the last 2 1/2 years. Both our children really enjoy going to school every day and adore their teachers. When I was in hospital on bed rest and pregnant with my son the team at Kiddie were truly wonderful. Taking great care of my daughter and going out of their way to send me updates and photos when I was stuck in the hospital and couldn't see her. We love all of the Staff who have been nothing but loving and caring towards my children. I couldn't ask for anything more. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this daycare to anyone!

We love Kiddie Academy of Fuquay! They have the most caring, loving and attentive staff! The school director is helpful and very present. I know our 1 year old is happy when she is there and I have all the confidence in her teachers. I would recommend Kiddie Academy to everyone!

worst daycare I have seen in my life. The teacher was rude. the director was shouting at my 3 year old son for no reason. they never answer your questions. one day I raised concert about the teacher . same afternoon I got a call from the director saying that your son was running in the classroom. that's why he is in my office . come and pick him up. when my husband entered the office , the director was sitting on the chair and they made my son sit on the the floor. I have watched so many times over the camera that kids push and pull each other. But the teacher is not aware of these situations. Don't send your kid to such places where they don't even care about the kids. Thought of sharing this review as all the moms read.

We absolutely love Kiddie Academy! I was looking for more than a "daycare" and wanted my daughter in an environment that was nurturing, fun, and educational. Kiddie Academy has exceeded my expectations and my daughter has thrived during her 2 years there. I love the daily reports/pics and being able to capture moments on the Webcam that I would have otherwise missed as a working mom.Brian, the owner, and Michele, the director, are always transparent with what is happening at the school. The door is always open and they are in constant communication with parents. You know your child is well taken care of when they stop by the office to give a hug on the way out and consistently stall to stay longer.Ms. Coco in the 4's class has such an upbeat and engaging personality. She is a teacher that makes learning fun and provides kids with a boost of confidence. Plus, your kids will come home with the most adorable artwork!Ms. Becky and Ms. Cheryl in the preK class have hearts of gold and will get your child Kindergarten ready. The weekly themes and artwork are so fun. They highlight your child's accomplishments, artwork, and celebrations which makes them feel so special and loved. They constantly rotate learning materials and educational toys to keep kids engaged and excited to learn. I am confident they have prepared my daughter for Kindergarten and we will definitely miss the Kiddie Academy family when she graduates preK.

Kiddie Academy in Fuquay has been amazing for two of my children. My daughter started in their four year-old class and my son in their most advanced five year old class. My son has since moved on to kindergarten and because of what he learned at Kiddie Academy was one of the most advanced in his class when he began. My daughter is moving into kindergarten at the end of 2022 and we expect her to be in the top of her class because of what she learned at Kiddie Academy as well. The administration, Michelle, and Brian, and the staff, especially Miss Becky and Miss Cheryl we’re all amazing and treated my children with care and respect while teaching them important life lessons and scholastics. 10/10 recommend!!!

Very disappointed of the way Michele chose to handle a situation with my child. She had her nose turned up since the day my child started. Never wanted to give me a tour of the daycare from some odd reason. It took her weeks to give me a code to get in the door. SMH Thankfully a different daycare had a spot available for my child. Ridiculous the owner emails me after my google review saying he’s notifying me of his intent to trespass me as if I did something wrong.

Sending your child to daycare is always a difficult choice but it gives me so much peace and confidence that my child is safe and prospering at this school. Every single teacher is warm and welcoming and treats my son with so much love. He comes home learning something new every day. I would recommend this daycare to everyone.

Worst experience EVER. I work with children & have also worked in many daycares. This was the first daycare my son has been in without me.It was horrible. No communication at all with the teachers, he would get picked up just absolutely dirty. The 2nd day I was there, I saw my child getting yanked and shoved on the floor by the cameras , I then talked to the director about it and he stated “well sometime our cameras glitch” and I never heard anything else other than that. There’s been many occasions I have witnessed the staff being very unprofessional. I walked in to a teacher having all the kids lined up outside while having a mentally breakdown she explained to me “all the children are bad, I don’t know if I’ll be here any longer” I also brought that up to the directors and her response was “they have a lot of kids”.. sounds like your problem, maybe don’t hire people who can’t deal with children. I got a phone call at work in the middle of the day explaining my child is too much to handle and they are considering kicking him out. NOTE: he was there for less than a month. I then sat down and talked to her and the only response she gave me was “he wanders and dumps buckets” I asked does he hit, bite, scream the answer was no. They were kicking him out because he dumps toys and wanders. I had 0 conversations with the teachers every time I would ask they would say nothing more than “rough day, or he was good” the director explained it was just too much with 16 kids. It always led back to how many children were in the room.The staff is very unprofessional & the directors are pushing so much on their workers and then turn around and blame it on a 2-year-old. Very traumatic for both my child and I whom attended for only a month.Do better!!

This daycare is not friendly nor welcoming. Keep your child far away from here! Michele whom is the director has horrible communication skills and does not care if your child is being treated poorly nor about the overall safety of your child.

Selecting a daycare as a parent is hard.To find a well structured and organized system that fits everyone's needs is almost impossible, but the Director and the Owner have it down to a science!Our son has been attending this daycare since he turned one.I can not honestly say, enough good things about the staff and the administration. They go above and beyond every day for our child and it doesnt go unnoticed.He is in the two's class now and we are beyond impressed with the way our child is taken care of by his teachers Ms.Lexi and Ms. Amy.They are amazing with each of them showing up every day with the biggest smiles and hugs for our child.**Which makes morning drop off's a little easier seeing our child run straight to his teachers.**I can attest to how effective each member of the staff works to keep us up to date with our child's daily activities. The daily tadpole reports are thorough and cover the child's bathroom and sleep schedules with photos daily.The ability to login remotely and see our child during the day is a blessing and allows us to check in when we feel the need and is an added bonus in our eyes.

My 15 month old attended for the past 6 months and we absolutely LOVED it here. Mrs. Tabitha and Mrs. Elaina are the absolute best and took such good care of my sweet boy. Sadly, we are moving 2 hours away, so today was our last day. We are going to miss it so much and can only hope that our next daycare is just as amazing.

Go Somewhere else! My 2year old son attended this daycare for 5 months and during that time it went from being a place that we thought he would stay long-term, to us immediately having to disenroll him. During his last week at the school, several events occurred that caused us to pull him out. The first being, one morning I was dropping him off, I was met in the hallway by one of the Directors of the center. And instead of saying can, you step into my office; she immediately began to yell at me about how terrible my child was in front of other parents and staff who were walking in the hallway. When I asked why she didn’t call me so that I could have picked him up, she stated that she couldn’t call me because of them being short-staffed and that he was throwing off the ratio since she had to tend to him. She then went into another rant about a previous child who was special needs that had been enrolled there and how the child also threw off their ratio and they just cannot do it. I held my composure and walked out the door. The next incident occurred one evening I went to pick him up, he had a red spot below his eye and the teacher that was filling in for the other teachers pointed it out. I have older children who have attended daycares in the past and we have always received an incident report, however, not this time and no one could or would explain how he happened to get the bruise. The final straw came when one day I looked in on him on the camera and saw one of his teachers slamming him and another child onto their cots during naptime. My child was so terrified of this particular teacher, that if I asked him how his day went and just so happened to mention her name, he would immediately burst out in tears. If anyone is thinking about sending their child here, I would recommend that you think long and hard before you do.

After having a less than stellar experience with our first preschool, Kiddie Academy in Fuquay-Varina really put us at ease and have been incredible.
