Lack of Structure and Unprofessional Staff…read more I would not recommend this daycare. There was very little structure or planning throughout the day, which created a chaotic environment for the children. Rather than focusing on improving the classroom environment, staff suggested that my child might have a diagnosis, even though they are not qualified to make medical or developmental assessments. I found this inappropriate and concerning. If staff have developmental concerns, they should communicate specific observations respectfully and encourage parents to speak with their child's pediatrician--not suggest diagnoses. I expected a supportive, well-organized, and professional environment, but that was not my experience.

The head person in charge of the day care cares more about kids that are paid by the state then any…read moreparent self paying. she yes you to death to get you out of her office. If a child is there that's paid for by the state, that child can do what ever they want to your child. All she cares about that the kids that are paid by the state, stays there. she also disrespects her own staff because she's "head person" and treats them unfair. I have never in my life have I felt that if I dropped off my child, will they be safe. Never again

The teachers and staff are amazing; they are caring, loving, and teach them an all around strong curriculum involving how to be community member, how to share, and how to be responsible.

I would not recommend sending your children here. My daughter was enrolled for 3-4 months. She was…read morepunched in the head twice by another student and no incident report was made both times. During this time my daughter was having extreme melt downs about going to school. The second time my daughter came home with a HUGE LUMP on her head and told us exactly whats been going on. A boy was punching her in the head. we called, talked to administrators, and talked to teacher Ms Paige in person. STILL NO INCIDENT REPORT WAS MADE and the teacher said basically she has no clue what we were talking about but she would keep an eye out. At this point i was in contact with a few employees besides the teacher on a personal level who confirmed exactly what happened and what child was doing this behavior to multiple kids and it was not being handled properly. They refused to refund the security deposit, charged us an additional two weeks that the security should have covered, then called us for more money staring we didn't pay for two weeks prior to withdrawing our daughter (impossible, we have all bank statements). Ella from billing was supposed to contact us and never did. We were supposed to be supplied with the owners phone number and email, and it never was given to us. We pulled our child because the program was ran horribly, not because we just decided to. Our child was not being protected which means we should have got our security deposit back, not it basically stolen from us than trying to charge an additional month. This place will scheme you right out of your money, take advantage of children's speech delays, and not take proper protocol to protect your children. On top of safety issues there are health issues where protocol is not being followed. Kids who are sick are never sent home even if they have a fever, coughing, and snot running down there face. In three months we got the flu twice, RSV twice, and Covid once. So your child will be consistently ill. MULTIPLE issues coming from every department in this place. Keep ur child safe and healthy- skip kiddie academy. The second i pulled my daughter from this place and put into a different preschool program she started thriving instead of declining in every area. I could only assume they stopped doing incident reports because another child had 18 of them with bodily injuries and no one had any answers. This is illegal and god only knows what has happened to my child during this duration of time since nothing was ever reported.

tonight my child was dismissed from Aunt T's Daycare and Preschool. I received a message from the…read moreowner stating she and her staff are unable to provide care to fit my child's needs. My child has only been there a total of three days (non-consecutive). During our very short three days there, the staff has notified me of my child's hyperactivity and how it is impacting their day negatively. As a NY state certified special education teacher, I was appalled by the feedback I was receiving and the staffs inability to provide solutions and/or interest in providing tier one behavior supports to ease my child's first experience in a "school" setting. In addition, I also contacted my child's pediatrician and "in house" social worker, who expressed similar concerns about this setting. Feel free to consider these components especially when sending your child for a first time experience. My child is heartbroken and can't understand why he is not welcomed back.

This school has done an exceptional job preparing my child for Kindergarten. Last week she came home talking about the seven continents which she can not only name but can talk about music and art from each region.

Plus its fun hearing her tell people she goes to college! It's no wonder they have been "majoring in minors" for over 55 years - I strongly recommend this school.

The owner Cheryl, does an amazing job with her curriculum. She prepares the children for Kindergarten with a well rounded education. Cheryl integrates cultural arts, music and physical activity into her program. In my 33 years of teaching, I have never witnessed an end of year performance as good as Kiddie Kollege. With Cheryl's background in the arts, she teaches music education by showcasing this in her show by allowing the students to express themselves creatively by singing and dancing. This gives the children the chance to experience stage presence which builds confidence. As a teacher, I have observed many elementary school plays, musicals etc. Cheryl's quality of shows surpasses any show I've ever seen on that level. Cheryl is an intelligent, dedicated, professional business woman that provides the children with a safe and nurturing environment. This is evident by the students academic achievement. I would choose Kiddie Kollege over any public or private pre-k.
