Our daughter has been there since it has opened and she loves it there!! The owners are amazing people and truly care about your family and listen. The staff is fun, caring, and kind towards not just our child, but towards others as I have witnessed repeatedly! They have worked with our schedule which I am very grateful for and always work towards resolving any issues when they arise. I am very happy with the curriculum the children are learning and the communication that comes from the Academy. The care and schedule is consistent, the kitchen is BIG plus as it takes away from worries of making daily lunches, and we are thankful that our daughter has a hot meal, and eats things that we cannot get her to eat at home, lol. The smile and excitement we get from our child after school speaks volumes! She is always in an amazing mood when she goes to her Academy! Keep up the good work and always grow!!

I was nervous about her starting daycare but she absolutely loves it and is learning new things weekly! We absolutely love the staff. The teachers are so caring and attentive. Big shout-out to Ms. Elizabeth, Ms. Samira, and Ms. Kelsey, they make our daughter so happy and well cared for. The owners Erin and Andrew are incredible and very attentive. It's been a great transition joining Kiddie Academy and we look forward to continuing to have our daughter attend through her childhood. I highly recommend!!!

My daughter has been going to Excel since kindergarten and I am happy with the school. The…read morespiritual component is the reason that we chose the school. Bible is a regular subject and there are daily prayers and a weekly chapel where all grades gather for worship and then to listen to an age-appropriate Biblical message. It's comforting knowing that our values and beliefs are being reinforced at school by like-minded adults, most of whom see their job at Excel as a ministry. Another aspect that I really appreciate is the small class sizes. There is only one class per grade, so my daughter has been with the same group of kids throughout her school career. This has allowed her to form deeper friendships than she would be able to having to start over with a new class each year and it also means I am familiar with most of her classmates and their parents so I know who she is hanging out with and what kind of homes they are from. Each teacher so far has had his or her own teaching style and personality, but I have no complaints about any of them. They have all been very loving and caring in their own way. Excel is non-Denominational and not sponsored by any particular church or denomination, so there is a diverse mix of students and teachers who attend many different Christian churches in the area. While it's a small school, it is still relatively ethnically diverse for its size. I expected that there would be a trade off with diversity when we chose to send our daughter there, but have been pleasantly surprised that she has never been the only person of color in her class and our interracial family has never once felt out of place or discriminated against in the slightest. Academically, I have no complaints. The curriculum (besides Bible, obviously) seems pretty standard and similar to what you'd find in a public school. My daughter is on part with her grade level. Yes, it is a private school. Yes, you have to pay money for something that the government is willing to give you for "free," but it's money well spent, in my opinion. We aren't wealthy. We are a working class family struggling to get by, but we are happy to go without many things to know that our children are growing up being taught about the redeeming love of Christ at the place they spend most of their waking hours because at the end of the day that's what will give them the best shot at being happy in life.

My son has been going here for almost 1.5 years. He had trouble with adjustment the first 6 months,…read morebut Ms. Anna and Ms. Crystal and all other teachers working directly with my son, were patient, loving and kind through it all. They weren't there to judge, point blame, or kick him out when it got difficult. Now, my son is doing great. He's just over 4yrs old. He tells me all the time how much he loves Ms. Anna. It brings peace to me knowing he is in Good hands. I even more so know this since the Covid19, because my son has asked me twice now if he can go back to school. My poor babe misses school and his teachers and friends. Hopefully soon we are able to return!

Both Miss Anna and Miss Gaby helped our son with this difficult transition. I can't imagine taking him anywhere else they've provided the best social & emotional learning support and I never imagined he'd be doing school work at the early age of 2 but he loves it and looks forward to going to school with his friends. As if this wasn't amazing enough he's also learning Spanish throughout the day! It's a huge advantage to be learning a second language especially at a young age.

We live in Northwest Reno and decided to bring our daughter to Blue Kangaroo for daycare. We have…read morenothing but good things to say about our experience! There are a lot of mixed reviews, so I wanted to contribute to the 5 star ones since that is a better reflection of the care they provide. Our daughter has now been in two of their classrooms and we had great experiences with both. They have a camera system for parents to log in and check out what is going on in the room throughout the day which provides some great peace of mind. They have a schedule they follow throughout the day of different activities and learning opportunities for the kids. We bring food for our daughter but they also have snack times where they provide some additional food. Our daughter has learned some great skills from her time here and we love how much socialization she gets from being around the other kids. The rooms are largely organized by different age ranges and they move up once they reach certain milestones, not necessarily right when they reach a particular age. The daycare itself feels secure, you have to enter two different codes when you arrive and then it unlocks the main entrance for you to come inside. The staff are all wonderful and take great care of our girl. The price is affordable compared to other daycares in the area. We are thankful to have found Blue Kangaroo and look forward to continuing to work with them!

Our kids: - were excited to be there every day - were surrounded by wonderful, nurturing teachers who balanced play with development. Our kids were beyond prepared for kindergarten in every sense. - made tons of friends, including from younger and older classes because there's some cross-over play time. It's small enough that every teacher knew our kids well. - loved the facility - the rooms have a super happy energy and the backyard is shady and full of activities - had the option to participate in a wide range of extra activities that the school coordinates to take place onsite - Spanish, soccer, swimming, gymnastics, dance Both of my daughters attended from age 3 onward and I only wish we'd started there sooner because the difference in their happiness between their first preschool and Creative World was so stark. We're so grateful to everyone there who played such a pivotal role in our children's lives (and ours in taking such good care of them!). We've since recommended it to a number of friends, who've all had similarly fantastic experiences.

He also really struggled with socializing and every staff member was so warm, gentle, and patient with him. Additionally, Creative World provides enrichment opportunities you can choose to have your child participate in throughout the school day such as Spanish classes, gymnastics, Soccer Shots, and swim lessons through Little Ones Swim next door. This was so helpful as a parent because he could learn different skills and it was all taken care of during the school day. Every month they send out a schedule of snacks, events, and themes for the week. They are on top of curriculum and they stick to their plans. Miss Liz also makes sure things are running smoothly and has amazing communication with the families. I would highly recommend Creative World!
