I am extremely disappointed with my experience at Kiddie Academy. My biggest concern is that I do not feel the safety, well-being, and emotional needs of the children are being treated as the top priority.
I have personally witnessed situations that made me very uncomfortable, including teachers using very loud voices with children, yelling or screaming when they are upset, and physically pulling or dragging children toward the floor. As a parent, seeing children handled this way is deeply concerning and not the kind of environment I expect for my child.
I have also been disappointed with the management. Instead of feeling that my concerns were being taken seriously and addressed with the focus on the children, I often felt that financial matters and payments received more attention. That has made me question whether the children's best interests are truly being prioritized.
Another serious concern is how some parents are treated. I have felt that parents are not always treated equally or with the same level of respect. I have personally felt uncomfortable with what appeared to be different treatment based on race or skin color, and I believe every family deserves to be treated fairly and respectfully.
Parents trust a daycare with their most precious responsibility--their children. That trust requires safety, respectful treatment, transparency, and accountability. Based on my experience, I would strongly encourage parents to ask questions, observe how teachers interact with children, and pay close attention to how management responds when concerns are raised before making a decision about enrolling their child. read more
