The bad review from several years ago really hurts my heart as a teacher. When a parent enrolls…read moretheir child and tells us that the other parent doesn't want them in the center because it isn't the center the other parent wanted, we do our best to be understanding and make the child and both parents feel welcome. Then to have the disgruntled parent lash out every day at pickup over one thing or another is hard and it's unfair to the child who loves their new school and is adjusting wonderfully. Although this child wasn't in my class I do remember the situation well and wish we all could have worked together for the benefit and growth of the child.

Sent a *just* potty trained kid home, more than once, with soiled underwear because 'we let them learn to be independent and help only when asked to'. Abandoned our 6mo preemie to scream until she was coughing and choking on tears and snot to, and I quote, 'learn some independence' (that was the last day she was there, obviously). Is fine with leaving a 6mo baby to sleep facedown on a dirty rug because it "was the only way they could get her to sleep". If you don't like your kids, I mean, probably a great place for you then. You can send em here and just pay someone else to abuse and neglect them for you.

Who to hell puts a tiny baby face down on dirty carpet to sleep?! Even worse did they put her there and let her cry herself to sleep. She could have suffocated! Damn them.

We have been using KA Albany for almost three years now so I wanted to update my review and provide…read moremore detailed information. Firstly, we absolutely love KA! I feel 100% at ease leaving my children with the staff at this facility. Owners, Steve and Lauren have an open door policy and are always happy to take the time to speak with parents and give updates. Director, Jenn is very hands on and always takes the time to say hello to every child and really gets to know them all on a personal level which then helps with their education because she is able to address specific needs as needed. Not only are the staff members amazing teachers, they have also become friends over the years. Every teacher I have had the pleasure of meeting has shown an interest in ensuring my son is comfortable in their room and addresses specific educational needs during his different developmental phases. My son is polite, happy, energetic and excited to go to school and learn every day. While I would love to take all the credit, it is his teachers and school who really get him excited to learn. The owners often put together events for families which is awesome! I love having the opportunity to attend these events and speaking with other parents, teachers and seeing my child in his element. He is always so happy to show off his artwork and show the different stations in his classroom that he enjoys. KA Albany also has an open door policy where parents are encouraged to come and spend time whenever they would like. There have been times I have stopped by at odd times and my child was always happy in his classroom participating in a learning activity with his teachers. The center is always clean and organized and staff genuinely seem happy and excited. I have toured other centers and preschools and hands down KA was the best option. That's probably why they have such a long wait list but believe me, they are worth the wait!
