Kidz Academy is a GREAT place since they went under new ownership and management. I always see the kids running in with smiles on their face ready to see the teachers and staff each day:)

This is the first center we have ever brought our kids to and we couldn’t be happier. Our 10 month old and 3 year old attend currently and have been going since June. As soon as we took our tour and met Ms. Olivia I knew this was the place!! Olivia is simply the best and has the biggest heart! She truly cares about the center, kids, and her staff. Our 3 year old loves the structure. He comes home singing songs, counting, singing his ABC’s. Megan, Miss Comfort, Maddy, CeCe, Jacque are all amazing!!!!They have a no phone policy for the staff, they have cameras so if there is ever a concern you can direct your concern to Olivia and she will handle it. This has by far been the easiest transition for us going from a family in home daycare to a center.

Olivia is a fabulous director and she has been getting this facility together since a little before new management has taken over last year and has been there for years prior to that. She has been doing a great job hiring new staff and making sure the facility follows a structured schedule to ensure the kids have a great and safe day at Kidz Academy! Schedule a tour and come check out Kidz Academy and meet the staff and Olivia!

My boys have been attending for over a year. They adore the teachers, assistants, and the director. They have a good curriculum for learning in preparation for kindergarten.

We've been with Kidz Academy since 2019, and couldn't recommend them more! It has definitely been like a second home to my children.

My son feels right at home at Kidz Academy. They really care about the children. They value their growth, happiness and safety. Aaaaannnddd they potty train actively!!!!! In my experience not all daycares help with that and it is a game changer.

I used to work here. Not for long though. I heard my coworkers threaten to take kids into the bathroom and spank them. In staff meetings the teachers admitted to wanting to physically hurt children and everyone laughed. They ration food so ur kid gets one tiny square of sand which for lunch and maybe one peach slice if there's enough. The owner takes all the money for herself meanwhile staff buys their own supplies. And if your kid has is in a wheelchair, they'll take the wheelchair throughout the day and make your kid crawl around on the ground like a dog. Send ur kids here at your own risk.

Abused my child in the daycare room by letting a woman named Donna oversee small children I was told this woman has the same mentality as a 13yr old! I witnessed her anger with small children!!

Absolutely worst place to work. Don’t bring your kids here. If I could give it 0 stars I would.

I would never bring my kid anywhere else. They only hire the best employees if you are not a great employee you will not be their long. They have over 45 cameras monitoring everything all day long. The camera monitors are visible to anyone who steps foot into the center. Their open door policy, meaning if you want a tour or just to see your kid you do not have to make an appointment means a lot to me. Also they have been full for over 10 years with zero advertising, that should prove something right there. Also they were the first learning center ever in Sioux Falls, SD.

If i could give it a zero I would. When my youngest was a newborn the newborn room didn't have a clue how to wipe front to back and she got a massive infection. The "teachers" are glorified babysitters and seem to have no formal education. They made staff bring in their own toys and supplies. The paper they let the kids color on for "projects" were printer rejects. It was a hot mess.

Both my children love this daycare! They have many video cameras in every room so if you ever want to see them you can! Safe and inviting environment.
