The staff are all super loving, attentive, and engaged in his development. They take special care related to his food allergies and hes allowed to eat the in house food which is a huge plus for us. The cost is less than we were paying, with smaller classes, and diapers/wipes included!!! It's so convenient- I just send him on his way there with a cup and they take care of all the rest. This is not our first daycare rodeo and by far is our favorite experience to date. Highly highly recommend!!

During the interview process, she saw me fit and qualified for the position. She gave me a link to apply directly to the child time website since my application was via indeed. Upon applying directly on the website, I've received a message and email that I'm not qualified or fit for the position and they've moved forward. Been calling to find out from Ms. Josephine the issue, all attempts remained futile and mind you she was reaching out to me before the interview and I was able to access her before the interview. This is rather strange, extremely disappointed in regards to their approach.

I'm so glad that a friend of mine told me to check this school out for our little girl. From the…read morefirst day that she started in September of 2015, I've felt as though we've made the right choice for her. This is a Christian school which I LOVE!! Because of the chapel experiences and incorporating lessons about the Bible, she has formed her own relationship with God. She loves him and prays to him and it just fills my heart up with joy! Miss Vivian, Miss Melina, all of the teachers (Miss Ellen, Miss Toni, Miss Lynn, Miss D, Miss Gail) and staff are wonderful and caring. The energy is positive and it's definitely our little girl's second home to the point where she wants to stay even after being there all day. This is my 1st child and it was really a challenge for her and myself to drop her off on the first day, but this school made that transition much easier and I appreciate all of them for being such a great part of my child's life. We will miss everyone when she transitions to Kindergarten this fall. I would highly recommend this school to anyone!

My son first began Crossroads last summer as I was preparing to go back to work. After interviewing…read morea TON of daycares I was getting nervous I would never find a place I felt comfortable. And then we came to Crossroads! Mr. Doug took my husband and I on a tour - and that's where we met Ms. Toni! She had a fun, loving, upbeat personality with a genuine love for the kids. She scooped up my son and involved him right away! He absolutely loved her class! She infused each day with a great balance of age-appropriate learning and play. Her energy made that room fun! While I worked, I was at ease knowing my son was cared for :) I felt as if every day my son came home knowing something new! The other teachers in that room - Ms. Angela and Ms. Nancy - are amazing as well! Since that time, my son has grown and transitioned to a new room - where he also seems quite happy! The staff at Crossroads are warm and friendly! The facility is clean and always decorated with children's work. My son's favorite activity is the gymnastic program that comes to the school! Highly recommend!

This facility isn't clean- they allow children to attend even when they're sick (causing sickness…read moreon other children). They mix children of all ages - which allows toddlers/infants to become ill with all sorts of sickness that older kids get. 2nd time now that my son comes home and infects my husband and I - causing us all to admit ourselves into ER. Every week, he comes home with some kind of cold, flu, virus, rash- I'm disgusted. Not once have I walked into that facility and smelt bleach or a cleaning product. I don't feel they even clean their toys or sanitize properly at this rate. Thanks to this place I've been stuck dealing with pneumonia for the past week and my son has strep throat with an ear infection - who is only 20 months old. I get it, kids do get sick BUT not like this. On top of that, they can barely keep their teachers there. All his previous teachers were only there for a year or so... They don't stay because they get paid nothing from what the staff was telling me.

All of my children attend this school and I would move mountains to keep them here. Not only does…read moreevery staff member love my kids, but my kids love them too.

The teachers are caring, patient, and truly attentive to each child's needs. The environment is always clean, safe, and full of positive energy. I would especially like to thank Mr. Tariq, the owner, for his outstanding leadership. He is kind, professional, and clearly dedicated to creating a nurturing space for children and peace of mind for parents. I am very grateful for the love and support my daughter received every day. I highly recommend this daycare to any parent looking for a trustworthy and caring place.

I feel compelled to share a more candid perspective based on my wife Dana's recent experience as a…read moredirector at this school. Dana is a highly experienced, deeply principled professional who poured her heart into this role. She was consistently praised by families for her leadership and the genuine care she brought to the school community. Unfortunately, her time here was marked by persistent professional undermining from ownership. Over time, support from leadership--particularly from Rick--deteriorated to the point of complete silence, making it extremely difficult for her to carry out her responsibilities. This was not just discouraging; it was incredibly undermining and unsustainable. While many of the positive reviews may reflect genuine experiences, it's also important to consider that current staff and families can feel pressure to remain silent or offer only praise. My intent is not to disparage, but to offer a fuller picture of the internal culture--one that, in our experience, lacks transparency, professionalism, and respect for the very individuals who work tirelessly to support the children. I sincerely hope Rick and Rena reflects on the treatment of their leadership and take steps to foster a more respectful, accountable environment. Families deserve to know that the people entrusted with their children are also supported and valued. Good luck to you guys in your future at the schools you have- it is to my understanding that you will absolutely need it.

Kiddie Academy is spotless, and although they already have quite a few children enrolled, you'd never be able to tell due to how clean the place is. The staff are super friendly, I had the opportunity to speak with management, and safety and caliber of their staff is paramount. Their curriculum goes above and beyond in comparison to competitors. Strongly recommend Kiddie Academy. They also have their own full kitchen, they prepare all their own meals, and have an area that is used for children's dinning which I thought was great.

I would suggest that you think twice before enrolling your child in this school. The owner runs…read morethe school like a business and obviously only cares about getting paid. We enrolled our daughter in the infant program mid - month. We paid the tuition for the month in full. We had some personal circumstances in which we needed to pull our daughter out of the school after less than 2 weeks. When we gave our notice we were told that we had to pay for the entire next month - $1,250.00 to be exact! It did state this in the contract but we thought that we can talk to the owner regarding this payment. She was rude to us and told us that we had to pay the full amount and she would not discuss it further. A few days later we got a letter in the mail stating they were going to pursue legal action against us and make us pay the tuition plus all of their court fees! I understand they are running a business - but to serve us with a letter like that a few days after we took our daughter out of the school is just wrong. We never said that we weren't going to pay the tuition - we just needed some more time due to some financial issues we were having. We tried to talk to the owner about the problems we were having, but she would not listen. She obviously only cares about one thing - and does not seem to care about working with any families when it comes to getting paid. I would not recommend this school to anyone.

My daughter started at Kiddie Academy of Colonia when she was only 5 1/2 months old, and I was so nervous about leaving her.

The atmosphere is warm, caring, and positive, and the building is always spotless, clean, and very secure. Knowing that my daughter is safe every day gives me so much peace of mind. The biggest confirmation that I made the right choice is seeing the smile on my daughter's face every morning when we arrive.
