I always felt a sense of magic whenever I walked the woods, gazed at the pond, and saw the joy on each child's face on the nature playground! I was always in awe of the unique activities and ideas flowing through the children and teachers! Ms. Carolyn is such an incredible soul who values children and offers each of them an invitation to receive an incredible love of learning. The foundational skills of curiosity, social interaction, creativity, exploration, and problem solving are rock solid after my child's preschool experience. His connection to nature and love for science couldn't be more beautiful. There is no other preschool in our area that comes close to this unique forest school experience. In addition, we took advantage of the summer camp offerings and birthday party packages as well!! We drove 25 min between our home and the school. It is worth every moment of commuting to give my child such a rich childhood experience. I plan to continue my relationship with Woodland Discovery when my youngest is old enough to begin!!

The kids get to play for 90 minutes and then have time in a private party room. Carolina Ninja Academy provides the pizza, drinks, plates, napkins etc and all you have to do is bring any extra snacks and treats you want. This was a seamless process and we will definitely be back!

She looks forward to going to "school" everyday and has so much learning and playing. Her social skills have developed since we started her at this daycare 3 months months ago and kiddie Academy gets all the credit! She has learned so much and even tells me everything she learns everyday on the way home! I love that you can stay connected to the school and what's going on through the tadpole app & the watch me grow app! The teachers also take the time at pick up/drop off to talk to you and check in. They truly provide personalized care for your child! I couldn't be happier with the quality of education our daughter receives there and I would recommend Kiddie Academy to anyone looking for an affordable, compassionate, and nurturing place for their kids to grow and learn.

Three ladies at the front desk/ reception and NOT one person greeted us. We were there standing looking like idiots. Then finally after a few minutes an older lady acknowledged us, but like she was in a rush. I asked if we could check out the facility. She said go upstairs and look. Im like this is our first time here, how do we get upstairs. NOT one smile, not one how can we help you, not one welcome, horrible experiences like we were not welcomed. Few minutes later we walk out and not one person to ask if we had any questions. AND worst part is, I went in determined to sign them up for summer camp. But no thank you! We'll spend our money where we are welcomed. Dont waste your time or money here!

I withdrew them during Christmas break after months of concerns that were repeatedly ignored. The biggest failure was academics and accountability. During the entire time my children attended, I received no real grades, report cards, progress reports, or testing results. When I transferred them, I had virtually nothing to provide their new school. For any parent paying tuition and trusting a school with their child's education, that is unacceptable.There was also far too much wasted time during the school day. My children regularly reported excessive time spent on YouTube and playing video games instead of meaningful instruction, especially during periods when students were not being properly supervised or engaged. My son, who is on the spectrum, was repeatedly promised support services and therapy. Those promises never became reality. Families with children who need additional support should be very cautious about relying on assurances that services are "coming."As an employee, I also personally witnessed elementary-aged children being sent outside for recess without adult supervision on a regular basis before Christmas break. There were also many times when I was on break that I found out my class was being left unsupervised.That alone should concern any parent. What makes this even more disappointing is that the school presents itself as a Christian school. In my experience, there was very little genuine emphasis on Biblical learning, doctrine, or spiritual formation. Even more troubling, the front office frequently smelled of marijuana, which is completely inappropriate in any school setting. The website and leadership may sell a beautiful vision, but in my experience, the execution was poor and the reality did not match the promises. The follow through was never there. I also observed a pattern of students and staff leaving after seeing how things actually operated. Especially staff being fired if any questions started to be asked or accountability offered. Based on my family's experience, I cannot recommend this school. Parents should ask hard questions, verify everything, ask for results from previous attendees, and look carefully before trusting this school with their children.
