    Disregard all the reviews that are complaining at the director, she's not working with this academy…read moreanymore. The management that currently is here is wonderful. My daughter is been attending this school for the last half of the year and we are extremely happy. This place hire real teachers, licensed, that have proper education and experience. The teacher that we have is extremely talented and devoted, we love her. She constantly brings new lessons, shares her curriculum and plans. My daughter has eczema and dietary restrictions so I bring my own food. My daughter had never been exposed to anything else they watch it closely and very carefully. The school is clean, fresh and modern, uses secure video cameras so you can always see what's going on with your kid. Kids go outside twice a day and spend a lot of time on the playground. Playground is really nice too, not just to show but a real playground where kids really have what to do. Couldn't be happier!

    TLDR: Do NOT send your child here, especially if they have allergies! Many awful teachers,…read morecomplacent and rude administration. Our experience at Kiddie Academy has been nothing short of a nightmare. My son has allergies, which was not any trouble to manage at our prior facility and is not any issue at his current facility. KA gave him foods he was allergic to on multiple occasions. On at least two of these occasions, Trisha (accurately portrayed in a few of these other negative reviews) tried to mom-shame me for how I handled the incidents instead of focusing on how egregiously they messed up. After the 4th allergen exposure (that I know of, it was confirmed he regularly was given a salad dressing that contained an allergen though), I reported them to the state. They were supposed to come up with a better communication plan from the kitchen to the teachers about what my child couldn't eat. A few weeks later I found out from my son's new teacher that she had "no idea" what he is allergic to, and that the way she finds out he can't have something is from his prior room's teacher yelling across the hall "don't give that to him!" when the kitchen brings something he's not allowed to have. Absolutely terrifying. You might ask why I didn't just send his food myself. Two of his exposures were when I sent his food! I watched his teachers withhold his food, giving him about 5 minutes to eat at the end of lunch, and blatantly ignore his stealing food off the other babies' plates (he was about a year old for this). At one point they gave him a special treat that was brought in by another kid without clearing it with me first. When I raised concerns about their behavior, he came home the next day with feces encrusted on his tiny little rear-end. Not even a dirty diaper, they just intentionally did not wipe him well and left it. On that note, he came home another time with feces up his back and through his onesie, no explanation given. I hope none of his classmates got pink eye from that one. The teachers in his first room were constantly on their phones, never engaging with the babies. I never saw so much as a book being read to them; they were left on their own to play with no interaction from a caring adult. My baby had very dry skin/eczema and I'd sent in lotion to be used when needed. His teacher quite happily told me that they never put it on him unless I specifically call to ask. It's almost like she was overjoyed at her own stupidity. This is a child who's face was often bleeding it was so in need of lotion, but I guess you can't see that when you're on your phone all day. Overall the administration wants to keep parents out of the building as much as possible. They continue cov1d-era policies where you must drop off and pick up at the front entrance unless you have a reason to go back and talk to your child's teacher. As a result, there is absolutely no sense of community (also they briefly lost a child from this policy, as noted in the state incident reports, yet they continue to cling to their process). I've talked to many other parents that don't even know all of their younger child's teachers' names and wouldn't be able to recognize them on the street. Many teachers are blatantly rude and disrespectful to parents when you do talk to them, and the administration's response is "they're a little gruff". What's tolerated is encouraged - if you cared about the interaction between parents and teachers you wouldn't allow your teachers to act like that. It's unfortunate that the majority of the younger rooms are such an abomination because there are some teachers that are GEMS in the older classes. We had a great experience with my oldest son, who was only there a year before entering kindergarten. However it was so strongly outweighed by the horrors of my baby's experience that I could never recommend this place, not even to my worst enemy.

    DO NOT SEND YOUR CHILD TO CADENCE ACADEMY!!!…read more I am extremely disappointed with cadence academy and want to warn other parents about my experience. Unclean Environment - The daycare is consistently dirty. I have seen dirty floors, unclean bathrooms, food left out, etc..This is completely unacceptable for a place caring for young children. Unprofessional Staff - The staff is rude, inattentive, unqualified.I have witnessed the front Desk staff go ballistic on my mom ,threatening her to call the cops on threatening to call Social Workers on her because she was one minute late to pick up my daughter, her behavior was unacceptable, I won't be surprised if she was on something working around kids... Lack of Supervision and Safety - I have serious concerns about my child's safety. security issues, or injuries due to negligence, my daughter came home couple of Times with scratches on her arms and legs and I never got a report from them, every time I went to pick up my daughter it was a different Teacher ,the food is horrible, they don't care if you kids eat or not they just don't care about your kid , I had seen many complaints about the Teacher and how they do wrong things around this Daycare. Poor Communication - The daycare does not communicate with parents properly. When I tried to address my concerns, I was ignored. I would not recommend this daycare to any parent. If you care about cleanliness, professionalism, and safety, look elsewhere! I hope management takes these issues seriously, but based on my experience, I would not trust them with my child's well-being. 0 stars for this academy this place must be shut down for its unsafe environment provided for the children at this daycare...

    It's not even worth 1 star. Terrible all around, do not send your child here - my 2 year old was…read moreonly there for 2 months and thankfully for in somewhere else

Your great as long as you are "in" but horrible to your children and you when problems arise. Our daughter has pulled from her walk with Christ as a result of her final years at CCA.

    One of our children has gone here for 3 years. We have been very impressed with the entire faculty…read more The school is Christian based in all aspects. the children are held accountable for their actions and there is no "no child left behind" they get the grades they earn!. They also must test each year to see if they have learned the required material in order to be passed to the next grade, so grades alone dont pass them. They go to Chapel and also are encouraged to play sports, band, and participate in the fine arts competition each year which is a state wide chirstian school event. All the teachers are Christian men and women, and certified. The principal is also the pastor of the Church at the same location and is a wonderful man. the field trips are so much better than public school especially at the high school level. they have their own charter bus so no uncomfortable yellow bus trips. They often have other family events like cookouts and trips to see Christmas lights. I am so glad we took our child out the publc schools around here.
