I can't say enough good things about this place. Ashley the assistant director always answered any questions I had and my daughter absolutely loves her. Ms Fatana and Ms. Belsie were amazing teachers. They truly love all the kids and always made my daughter feel safe and welcome. The school does little events throughout the year for the kids and they had a nice pre k graduation at the end of the year. I would definitely recommend if you are looking for a step up from a traditional daycare. They have a curriculum that they follow so your kids are learning throughout the year. The only thing I think that could be improved is a little more heads up for events etc. sometimes I felt like things were sprung on you last minute like pj day etc. maybe sending out a monthly calendar etc

The director is dishonest, accusatory and predatory. This place needs to be audited. My daughter…read morewent to this center in 2023 when we moved back from Maryland and there were only problems. When the summer program was over I chose not to re enroll her in the before and after school program and the director tried to make it as difficult as possible by charging me for 2 additional weeks, accusing me of not giving a 2 week notice (she likes make accusations), even though I had never enrolled my daughter in the fall program. I spoke to the regional manager at the time, who adjusted my account to reflect a zero balance since I should not have been charged for the 2 extra weeks. Fast forward, I need before and after care for this school year and against my better judgment, decided to enroll here again. Huge mistake. The director pretends to be excited to have our business again, the first red flag though, we had to pay $150 up front before we were even able to register. In a rush I just paid it thinking this business is large enough to not be fraudulent... wrong. I was told the enrollment forms would be sent to my email immediately upon payment and they never came. I even showed up to the center and showed her where the funds were deducted from my account and she still insisted "Well, if you paid it would have gone through, you just have to wait and see if the bank processes the transaction, I will reach out to you on Saturday if it does...." She emailed me SUNDAY, despite telling me she'd reach out on Saturday, asking if I had received the forms... I hadn't. On Monday I enrolled my daughter at the Alphabest program offered at her school and then requested a refund from TLE....... When I called, the director asked if I had received the forms, I let her know I hadn't and would like a refund because the whole situation was messy and unprofessional. She then tells me she can't refund me because "I have an outstanding balance from 2023." 2023! And the balance was never brought up during me trying to re enroll. I tell her that is incorrect and I have a statement from the regional manager at the time that shows my balance being zero. She still goes to accuse me of not answering her phone calls about the balance.... I NEVER received any contact from that center after receiving my ending statement from the regional director. The dishonesty and unwillingness to take accountability is so unprofessional here. I've been trying to contact these people for almost a week now. I've had to report the charges to my bank. I've always gotten bad vibes from the director here, she is VERY disorganized, incompetent and dishonest. Not sure if my race has anything to do with it, but she was and still is a nightmare to deal with. Too add, to date I have yet to receive a receipt, confirmation of payment or statement for the transaction or "balance due."

We took off work early to go to this tour- we showed up and the women behind the desk said there's no tour- she's the only one there- we explained we booked it through the website- she said "oh that's why- we need to reschedule" I said before we do that- could I ask I about the tuition rate? She said "it depends" and looked like a dear in headlights. I said oh what?? She asked what school my child attended then said uhhhh I don't think we have availability- we're probably all booked..... I walked out. What on earth.

True received her kindergarten test results back and she is scoring above the norming group in Reading and Math by not just a little bit but by landslides!

This is a true testament to the work that you all do AND continue to do even in before and after care! We so appreciate you!  Having said that, Mrs. Nona we still need to improve in listening, following directions, and socializing. Hey, she is a work in progress lol but even in those categories there is progress so we thank you tremendously for treating our baby as your own and setting this foundation in an academic setting.

This was a great school, with great teachers. Unfortunately, COVID interrupted the flow. But at…read moresome point I have to say, fortunately interrupted the flow. There were several instances where it seemed the director at the time deliberately added to what I owed to the invoice because when I asked her about it, there would be no response. I have no problem paying, but you have to explain why $300.00 was added to the invoice. It wouldn't bother me, but that's like someone trying to get you out of character when you're just trying to support your child. There's very little leeway, and that's inappropriate. The Philadelphia Insurance contract I signed a few months after my child started was a bit strange. I looked up the company, and they literally had pedophilia insurance. I signed with caution. I'm not sure if I'm the only one who ever signed this or ever looked the company up because that is a major, blaring alarm. His teacher was excellent, but she hinted at a few things that were strange. Like, "They take money out of my check for the baby next door." She also talked about vomiting next to the director's desk. A few other things. She obviously put her all into teaching, so I thought it was end-of-day stress, and the director tried to get quite a few people out of character when they're not there for that. I don't know! I don't know y'all. My child did well, but it was quite bizarre and frustrating. I got way out of character, called "unprofessional" when I called the school. I tried to keep it about the bill, TRYING to forget everything else. I even went to the school, asked about the bill. She said she would send a link, and never sent it. I had a relative call and ask about the bill, she discussed it with him, said she would send a link after their 30 minute conversation, and did not send it. I found it a little disrespectful. I managed to get it rectified after ownership was transferred. At this point I'm not sure if the agreed upon amount had a horrible catch, or if it was from a sincere place.

I was very optimistic and excited when kiddie Academy opened in the area. It started out pretty…read moregreat but the high staff retention has caused this place to go down hill very quickly. If you are looking for a place of baby sitting this is the right place for you. If you are looking for a legitimate curriculum and education to prepare your kid, do yourself and your pockets a favor and look somewhere else. I'll start with the pro: -Location is convenient -New building/classroom -Cameras in the classroom(it's not common everywhere else) Cons: -Director is a joke. Terrible customer service, I wonder if the owners realizes she is tanking their business. -Pre-K teacher Jocelyn is rude and unprofessional. She will not help your kid; she will let them play all day and good Luck when they get to kindergarten. The way she speaks to the kids is VERY concerning. ...Stay away -There is a new teacher every week, and those they hire are not qualified. The good teachers left long time ago when they realized this daycare is not a good place for them to work or teach. -Just a place for kids to play and not learn anything. I can go on and on but I think you get the picture.

Kiddie Academy of Woodbridge-North has been such a blessing and life-saver for me and my daughter…read more First- let's talk about the facility. It is brand new and gorgeous. With COVID, it was important to know that everything in there was less than a year old and that their staff is constantly cleaning. Second- let's talk about the staff. EVERY ONE that works there is amazing. They are not just nice and friendly, which is important, but they are inviting. I feel that they truly care about my child and that they care about my needs. Ms Roxanna is always working with my daughter, on reading, which is what I had asked. She is so patient and kind but strict enough to get what I request done. They are also always doing fun and educational stuff, even in the summer. Third- I mentioned they have been a blessing. Christin, the director, has truly been our guardian angel. Even when we first didn't sign up since we decided to enroll her in Kindergarten vs pre-k, she still kept tabs on us, just to see how we were doing. When my daughter's nanny could no longer work, Christin made sure that not only could they watch my child but they were able to pick her up from Kindergarten. No matter how crazy my schedule is, Christin and Kiddie Academy have been and are there for me, completely flexible and willing to work with me and my needs. My child has been to other daycares and I felt that at times, I was just a dollar sign. At Kiddie Academy, I feel like we are friends and family and they do truly care about my child.

It was always a…read moredelightful experience when interacting with them and my son absolutely loved his teachers and the entire staff at CC. They were great at conveying information about my son throughout the day, very prompt about calling if ever there may have been any issues or concerns, and was just always very informative about all upcoming activities and the welfare of my son. The price was the most affordable in the area, the hours of op. were the earliest I could find which was extremely convenient for days when I needed an early start. My son attended from about 9mo till about 3.5yo, until we moved out of state, and i never regretted our decision to choose CC as the daycare for him. I honestly would suggest this facility to any parent looking for a trustworthy, caring, and/or responsible place to care for their children.
