We would recommend to friends and family. Kiwi has been attending this type of childcare since he was 1year and two months... he's now graduated. We're appreciative of the communication that was ongoing from the start. They communicate well, whether it be about any issue during nap time, snack time, etc., you'll know how your child did that day. We value that attention to our baby. Additionally, we're very happy with his speech development and his social skills. I'm grateful to them for taking care of our little one. We're glad to know that he was in great hands here. read more

Kiddie Crest Academy has been such a blessing for Joaquin and I. We have been blessed to have found a safe, warm, and nurturing daycare. My son began attending Kiddie Crest Academy at 13 months due to dire circumstances. Immediately, Ms. Teresa was very reassuring and kind hearted. Joaquin instantly felt safe with her. The transition to daycare and adaptation to new environment was fast. It's due to the amazing staff on site. Truly appreciate all your support and kindness you've demonstrated to both my son and I. THANK YOU!!! read more

Ms. Leza is such a great director. I love the way she runs the school. They teach the kids the alphabet, colors, and numbers. Their communication with the parents is great.

I would 100% recommend Kiddie Crest. Ms.Leza was extremely helpful during the tour, and enrollment process. I received messages and photo updates during my sons transition into the toddler class. All of the teachers go above and beyond with planning daily activities and also go out of their way to celebrate parents during Mothers/Father's Day. Which is extremely sweet. I saw a big growth in my sons literacy development. He is able to recognize letters at the age of 2 and that is because of his teachers at Kiddie Crest. They also speak Spanish which is also. Overall, we were all very happy at Kiddie Crest. read more

I will always have a special place in my heart for Kiddie Crest Academy! As a new mom, I was very apprehensive of leaving my baby in daycare; however, from day one Ms. Leza and her staff made me feel at ease and almost three years later, I never once worried about my toddler's safety and well-being while at Kiddie Crest Academy. What sets this daycare apart is the staff-the teachers here are caring, attentive and knowledgeable. Shout out to Ms. Niro, Ms. Jackie, and Ms. Hara-you are all greatly missed! read more

I will always be grateful for all the Kiddie Crest teachers. They are always very kind, attentive, lovely, dedicated and communicate very well with children and parents. My daughter loved all the activities and loves her teachers especially Miss Jackie, Miss Leza and Miss Laria. Thank you for everything, you are the best. We miss them, they will always have a special place in our hearts. read more

My son was at Kiddie Crest from a year old until he turned 3. Kiddie Crest was the best decision for our family for our son's daycare needs. Their hours are super flexible and we couldn't have asked for more dedicated teachers. My son who now attends their sister pre-school down the street still asks about all of his teachers at Kiddie Crest. They left a great impression on him and me. I enjoyed all of the activities they had for the kids throughout the year and that they kept the kids engaged through academics catered to their age and play. The teachers go above and beyond to make everything special for the kids. I also liked that I could pack my son his favorite meals for breakfast and lunch and they would take care of warming it up if needed. I look forward to enrolling my newborn son to Kiddie Crest in the near future. read more

I looked into many daycare before sending my daughter here and as soon as I met Mrs.Lisa I knew Kiddie Crest would be it. My daughter Adrienne loved going to school. I appreciate how the staff would go out of their way to make her comfortable. When she moved from the infant room to the toddler room they would even have a teacher, Mrs. Irene, from the infant room hangout with her for a while in the morning until she was ready to interact with the other toddlers. On our drive home she would tell me all about her day. How Mrs. Jackie helped her take off her sweater, Mrs. Stephanie changed her diaper, or Mrs. Genie played her outside. Its been 10 months since she doesn't go there anymore and she literally still talks about all her friends and teachers. You ladies are AMAZING! Thank you for making this daycare a home away from home for my kiddo. read more

Kiddie Crest Academy has been beyond amazing to my family! There are not enough words to describe just how amazing the ladies at Kiddie Crest have been. Late 2022, I needed to find someone to help watch my little one while my husband and I were at work. We called many places, we even tried a daycare in Norwalk, but that didn't work out because our son was scared and cried every time we dropped him off. We wanted a place that felt like home to our little one, so we decided to give Kiddie Crest a try. From the moment our son set foot on Kiddie Crest, he was happy. The first day I picked him up from there, he cried and cried because he didn't want to leave. My son's reaction to leaving let me know that he felt at home, which is all I needed to know to feel like Kiddie Crest was a good fit. From then on, we've had nothing but great experiences. From throwing the most amazing Mother's Day and Father's Day celebrations, to their Halloween and Holiday parties, they are so amazingly thoughtful. When my husband and I were ready to start potty training our little one, they were amazing and supported us the whole way. Without them, I don't know where we'd be! The ladies love what they do and they treat the little ones so well! I have nothing but trust in all of the ladies at Kiddie Crest and I can't help but keep recommending them to anyone looking for daycare! read more

I took my daughter here when she was 2yrs old and let me say it's the best place ever I looked at many different daycare centers but they didn't feel right until I came here and met Ms. Jackie and she showed us around and I felt like my child would be safe and cared for as well as loved and lo and be hold it was I was struggling with potty training my daughter and they helped her with that and she learned so fast. My daughter would come home everyday singing every new song and showing me everything new she's learned. Not only that they send you pictures and videos through out the day. My daughter loved her teachers and now that she's transitioned to another facility she still asks about them and tells me she wants to go see them! You won't regret taking your babies here it's an amazing place safe fun and everything you want for your little ones! Thank you to all the teachers that cared for my little one read more

I was one of those persons who were really afraid of leaving my little one at a daycare however kiddie crest has really made me feel at ease knowing my toddler is in good care , Ms.Leza , Ms.Jackie , Ms.Niro , Ms.Kaitlyn , Ms.Laria are so welcoming and amazing I'm very grateful for you all read more

My daughter has been coming here since she was a baby. The level of love,compassion and empathy everyone here shows the kids is unmatched. As a mom I could always count on them communicating with me about my child.They helped jumpstart her potty training which was a huge help. My daughter also enjoyed being there with her peers and the staff was always so kind. I valued how much care and love they showed my daughter and celebrating all the kids milestones. They Definitely offer piece of mind even on her first day I was calling throughout the day and they never hesitated to give me updates on how my daughter was doing which was great. I appreciate everyone's help here and helping my daughter meet her milestones. read more

My son is currently enrolled here in the infant class, and I could not be happier with the experience. Every day when we drop him off and when we pick him up he is all smiles. The teachers are great about giving daily updates in regard to how he was that day, how he ate, and how he played/napped. The teachers are very caring, and my son is doing well here. The facility itself could use some updating but, it is kept very clean and safe for the babies to play. I would higher recommend this daycare. read more

My son started this daycare when he was 16 months. All the teachers/care givers at Kiddie Crest genuinely care for the kids, they treat them as their own and show them love, they showed concern for my son when he wouldn't eat (he's a picky eater) and would always tell me how his days went, wether he napped or didn't eat or when had a good day. It was all the care and communication that really made me feel comfortable leaving him everyday. And it was because they expressed their concern for his current development stage that prompted us to have him assessed for Autism. He was diagnosed with Autism at 18mo. and with his diagnosis the teachers/care givers were all very supportive, understanding and accommodating. My son grew very attached to Ms Teresa who was just wonderful, she truly cared for my son. As he transitioned at 2yrs old to be with the older kids (2-3yrs) we were afraid it would be socially overwhelming for my son due to his condition. But the teachers, knowing his condition did their best to care for him and although he became very challenging at times they continued to accept him and never turned him away. Kiddie Crest was truly a blessing for us, I cannot say enough good things about this daycare and their staff! Specifically Ms. Jackie, Ms. Alyssa, Ms. Teresa and the Director Ms Leza, they all cared so much for my son and as a parent would, they would be excited like us when he showed progress. We were very sad when he turned 3 and aged out of the daycare. I know the teachers miss him and I'm sure my son misses them too. Academically they do a lot of learning fun activities for the kids and provide sufficient outdoor playing time. Overall they offer a great program and I would recommend them!! PS. They have an Instagram account where they constantly post and you get to see your little one! It's awesome that they take the time to do these videos and pictures for parents to see. read more

My daughter went here from age 1-3 and we could not have been more happy! The facility was always clean and we felt very safe having her there. The teachers were great and always so kind to her.

Couldn't say enough good things about Kiddie Crest! read more

My daughter has been in Kiddie Crest Academy for more than a year now we have nothing to say but great things. Never had any issues, my daughter and we loved it.

Thank you teachers! read more

My daughter has been going to Kiddie Crest for almost a year now (since 17 months) and man do I love it. I had difficulty finding a daycare and they worked with us in everything. The staff is amazing all the teachers are nice and caring, my daughter cried at the beginning and once she got use to it she would just wave bye which made me feel at ease because she knew she would be okay, she comes home and mimics nap time and has learned so many new words and is even learning her colors and number. During the summer they did so many activities for the kids to have fun, and during the holidays they make it fun for the kids. Honestly I'm glad I chose this place. read more

I don't even know where to start! This daycare has been more than amazing for my daughter. She has been here for a little over a year and she loves it.

My son has been at this facility for a year now and I've been greatly disappointed for my son has been sick every other month with a cold, ear or eye infection, and Covid during his stay there which has resulted in all my sick hours and Covid pay to be completely depleted. And him only being a year old has picked up so many bad habits from throwing himself, pulling hair, hitting, and biting in which my older son never did when he attended other daycares so their disciplinary actions and teaching manners is non existent, so now I'm in search of another daycare read more

My kids have been attending Kiddie Crest for almost 2 years now- and I cannot express how much my kids and I love the staff there. Everyone is so incredibly caring and attentive. My kids were even potty trained in a little over 3 weeks. Ms. Leza, Ms. Fer , Ms. Stephanie and Ms. Vivi are just a couple of the teachers I am so incredibly grateful for. My kids absolutely love them and honestly as a parent it's so comforting to know my kids are being well taken care of . read more

I visited this day care a few days ago since I saw and read the good reviews. I was looking for a day care for my 15 months old son. The environment was not convenient for infants and toddlers. I toured the infant room. It was super small and there was nothing on the ground. It really broke my heart. All the toys were very old and dirty. The day care is located next to the very busy way. Children were playing very dusty garden. Overall, I decided to take a tour before make a decision. Yelp does not show the reality all the time. read more
