As a working parent of a very young child, making the decision to go back to work can be such a…read moreheart wrenching decision to make. We feel lucky to have found Kiddie Academy in Vancouver and even luckier to have the ability to leave our sweet angel with such talented and awesome teachers. In our search for quality daycare, my husband and I visited countless centers both in Portland as well as in the Vancouver/Camas area and either had our name placed on an extensive waitlist or knew the center we were visiting wasn't the best fit fit for our family. We had the amazing luck of stumbling upon Kiddie Academy during their pre-opening enrollment period and after a meeting with the assistant director and the director, we quickly placed our deposit down and enrolled our youngest in their daycare program. The center is brand new and the technology is wonderful (think real time video monitoring, personalized mid-day updates, and end of day activity summaries). I can honestly say that we've consistently found the team at Kiddie Academy to be smart, genuine, and very caring. This center's team will actively listen, without expressing judgement, to any thoughts or concerns you might have. Every employee we've connected with thus far has been dedicated to continuous improvement; consistently focusing on optimized outcomes which benefit the children. If you have the great fortune of securing your little one a spot here too, don't pass up the opportunity! We're big fans of the Kiddie Academy and looking to the future, we're excited to partner with their team in the care and development of our child.

We really felt they knew our daughter very well. It's a very gentle and enriching environment and is quite remarkable that a room full of toddlers could feel so calm and peaceful. The focus on developing practical life skills through choice fostered a lot of independence in our child. There is a lovely outdoors area for exploring nature and they learned a lot about gardening. Ms. Julie is extremely knowledgeable and communicates well with parents, I learned a lot from her myself. My daughter is aging out otherwise we would be back next year for sure. I can't say enough good things about this school and recommend it to all parents of toddlers.

This is his first time in daycare and I was so concerned about him adapting to a new environment. He is starting his 3rd week and he is getting more comfortable each day. He is speech delayed and I was worried about his interactions with his teachers. Luckily he's built a strong bond with them all and especially Miss Gwen and Miss MJ. We've already had him come home with several art projects and so many pictures of him to look at throughout the day. I have zero concerns about his safety and well being here. I really appreciate that Megan (the center director) is extremely responsive via email and the app. Any little question or concern is immediately addressed. And all the teachers are so kind and willing to talk about my son's day at pick up. So far, I am thrilled about this daycare experience and am looking forward to seeing my son's continued growth!

I have recommended this school to countless friends and am planning on enrolling my younger daughter when she is old enough. So grateful this school was recommended to me 2 years ago.

The owner Is there everyday and has knowledge of everything that is going on and she doesnt do anything! All the bosses and managers just sit in the front and no nothing but talk and gossip, even the bosses take into yanking the kids putting chairs on top of the kids, I've tried to tell them many times about what is going on and they did nothing never fired the staff that does harm the kids they are still there. They have even stated They just want the money from the parents, if you are thinking about working there DONT ! Protect your kids by NOT sending them there.

Unfortunately I can give a pretty good review as I got to see how the daycare was run as a parent…read morewith my work schedule. Some of the people there were awesome so sad the turnover rate was crazy, the owner doesn't like when you have an issue instead gets ride of parents and employees when you start having issues with something there. Im a school bus driver so I work with children also so there were in my duration of time being there some concerns, I have seen there high turn over rate and some in which were not competent to be hired around kids giving good quality care others that were good and nasty interactions with the owner and staff was crazy. How many times the state was contacted for complaints on the daycare one being the constant spread of hand foot mouth, there are some that are great there like Vennessa she was awesome in the infant room, Jenn seems to be good but unfortunately after being there it's a matter of time until all staff is turned over. The cook was an amazing change as the last one was not doing a good job of giving age appropriate food sizes to the 1 year class as I know as someone who gets my first aid and CPR training every other year for my job and also being an experienced parent know that the first and most important step in kids choking is prevention. Don't know how many times I picked up big bark dust chips or little toys they could choke on left on floor with no one watching in the one year class or how dirty kids are kept so your kids always sick, but what really started doing it for me is when I witnessed them leaving children with no shoes on playground and they have these huge bark dust chips that not only the babies shove in there mouth, they are quite the slivers they can get in there feet and infection from a bad enough sliver or injury. To me it's straight up neglectful to not put kids shoes on for safety, at my job there are a lot of common sense things we do as drivers to take care of children to ensure their safety, especially so as a special needs driver so for me when I see this it's unexceptionable and neglectful as one morning I brought my daughter at 6:30 am and came back at 10am after my mourning route to bring her shoes as we rushed out of house in her socks and forgot her shoes and the daycare actually had my daughter outside with no shoes in the bark dust out on playground her feet were cold to me this was absolutely not acceptable and i questioned the common since of those that thought that was ok to do. Also my 1 year old was being taken outside in pouring rain clothes soaked and dirty and left in them even with a change of clothes in his bag, he was getting sick from being out in the cold and left in soggy wet clothes. And the bitting is what also did it they allowed a child to behaviorally bite my children a total of 6 times and others peoples kids without taking any intervention to keep it from happing again. Just not acceptable to ignore issues and remove people for bringing it to their attention I don't recommend this daycare very much some neglectful things witnessed here. Also when I was in the back playground to get my daughter there is an unsecured spot in the fence that I have seen little kids squeeze through, also 2 times the people opening at this daycare have not showed up by 6:30 and parents are waiting in Parking lot and for me if im past the 10 minute mark at my job they have to cover your route and send you home without pay which also would have made me loose all my overtime for that week.
