The teachers know my children well and take great care of them. The one year old room teacher is especially amazing! She is so calm, patient, and caring. She sends pictures every day on the procare app along with a summary of their daily activities. I am simply amazed by how much my daughter has learned about colors, counting, animals, etc, at less than 2 years old! Both of my kids get to do lots of hands-on learning and art projects. The outside area is big with lots of toys and room to run around. The front office staff is super friendly and communicates well. They do a wonderful job of accommodating my daughter's milk allergy.

Avoid this place at all costs. They are EXTREMELY disorganized and never gave us clear…read morecommunication on any of the paperwork or documents required to sign my child up for the year. No one knows how to do anything, they all just say "I don't handle that." It's run mostly by a bunch of rude and largely incompetent 20-year-olds and teenagers who don't care about your children. We dropped our child off multiple times while he was upset/crying and they NEVER even comforted him, they just sat there on their phones while my kid and several others inside were crying. Very unprofessional and lazy. They have an archaic "healthy food" rule which prohibits the kids from bringing virtually anything sweet with their lunch. They wouldn't let my child eat his small pack of Welch's fruit snacks. Pretty ironic they don't allow unhealthy food considering how unhealthy some of them look. They should abide by their own rules and cut back on the unhealthy snacks themselves. If you want your kids enrolled in a backwards school with a cult-like staff full of hypocritical mouth-breathers, this is the place for you. If you're normal and just want your children to receive a solid Montessori style education, keep looking.

My son, has learning disabilities, and this school has helped him build his confidence back. It's a close knit family at Sunrise, and it has been so cool to see the kids grow in such a safe and loving environment. I would highly recommend this school to anyone.

I hate writing this but I need to. I even waited so long in hopes that this daycare would be back…read moreto the amazing daycare we once thought it was. Let start with what just happened this last Wednesday. My wife goes to pick up my son however he comes out without his back pack or water bottle we sent him with so my wife kindly ask that we do bring it back because we do use it for more occasions other than school. 10 minutes later the teacher comes back empty handed and asks my wife to go back and look for it herself. After instructing my wife that it should be with one of the cubby's, we realize he doesn't have his own cubby in the 2's room. Understandable considering he's transitioning into the 3's room. Well after no luck in the 2's she moves into the 3's room to find his backpack simply just sitting on a desk in the middle of the room. Fair enough, we recognized this was a newer teacher however, after careful inspection she realized even in the 3's room he didn't have his own cubby. My son has no designated spot for him in this school. Well, as upset as she is she takes my son home and notices a smell. Well, he's almost 3 in the process of potty training so maybe an accident? No. And old accident they didn't even bother to change his underwear after, as well as residuals on my sons butt from not being properly cleaned up. What's the point of sending the 3 back up pairs of clothes they specifically ask for if they're not going to bother changing my son after an accident, so now he has an awful rash that pains him just to sit down Now onto the tuition. For the last several months my wife and I have been paying for three days a week for my son to attend. Just recently my wife moved to part-time at her work and was able to take him usually an extra day so sometimes we would only need two days of daycare. After I personally spoke to the Director of the kids Academy daycare I was given the OK to only have to pay for two days of daycare. After about three weeks of doing so the Director comes back and tells me I've been under paying and I need to make sure that I pay back the remaining that I owe. well apparently she was talking about the extra day that we hadn't been paying for for the last couple of weeks because she told me I didn't have to. So they want to head and back charged me charging me a total of $250 cover the current weeks tuition of three days and the last couple of days we DIDNT send my son. Now they expect me to pay for 3 days even if he only attends 2 to make sure to "keep his spot". I'm sorry, what did I pay his $125 enrollment for? Oh right, HIS SPOT. I'm sorry Kids Academy but we as parents have been dreading our son going to your daycare we've even decided to send him elsewhere. Big disappointment and don't waste your money on this careless daycare that smells like dirty diapers the second you walk in. Disgusting

This chapter was a huge transition for both of us. I put my trust and heart in the hands of The Kids Academy. They were so supportive to my son and to me. I am so grateful because as hard as the transition was, they were patient, kind and caring. I would call daily to check up on him. My son grew to love this place and so did I! He became potty trained in a very short time frame. I noticed his vocabulary and speech enhance as he was talking more than ever in full sentences! He made friends, loved his teachers and we both learned to be comfortable with the separation during school/work hours! I will forever be grateful for The Kids Academy as they played a huge role!

As my youngest is starting Kindergarten, it has got me reflecting on our time here over the past…read morenearly 4 years. I am so grateful for the staff here for their loving care, quality age-appropriate education, and their patience with both of my kids. One thing that consistently makes me unhappy is that we have lost some clothing items over the years. I believe other children or even their parents were taking them knowing it does not belong to them. I am purposefully avoiding the word "stealing" as I cannot prove it but it sure does look like it. These clothing items that were lost were new and never recovered. They were also labeled with my child's name on them so I'm just dumbfounded. Although this is something that would normally be enough to knock off a star anywhere, I am choosing not to here. Thankfully it was contained to 3 incidences over a 3 year period. 1 item per year? Not bad I guess. My suggestion is to not bring something you don't want to lose. I did read some of the more recent negative reviews and I am just shocked. Granted, I am not there every minute that they're open but my kids come home happy everyday. I do hope those incidences are one-offs as no business is really ever perfect. I truly love all the staff there and never felt an inkling of inappropriate behavior from any of them. I would never have kept my kids there for as long as I did if it were the case. On my kids' last day there prior to their regular school starting, the teachers made a little goodbye package and I couldn't help but to get a little emotional. It was so heartfelt and personal.... they definitely took the time to acknowledge each of my kids individually. I know they put in this same effort with the other kids in the same situation as us and I find that incredibly thoughtful. This will most likely be my last update. I do plan on bringing my kids back during long school breaks and if anything drastic happens, I'll be sure to update at that time. To Childtime, you have my eternal gratitude!

All I can say is that we are so happy that we chose this school as we noticed a big change in her within the first couple of months. She did not speak but a few words of English as we wanted her to know Serbian language, and now she only speaks English and we have to keep teaching her Serbian. The Montessori way of teaching definitely works as we witnessed her social skills improve drastically where she knows how to share toys and act respectfully with other kids in a nice and polite ways. Her drawing, coloring, painting, cutting, writing, and speaking skills have drastically improved. The school relocated in August of 2019 to a brand new building and its so spacious, clean and most importantly very safe for the kids. Mrs. Khiran and Mrs. Sue, alongside the rest of the staff are all excellent with the kids and us parents.
