Kids R Kids Learning Academy of East Roswell

My son loves KRK! He started around 18 months and it took him about a week to adjust. Now he loves his teachers (Miss Lauren, Miss Stephanie, Miss Taylor, Miss Melisa, Miss Luma, Miss Zaina) and the office staff. Every adult I meet who works there has something positive to say about him. Most of the time when I come to pick him up, he sees I’m there and then goes back to play — he’s in no hurry to leave! They read, sing, play, explore, you name it! The teachers call to let me know if he gets a bump, a scratch, and I know he’s getting the attention he needs.

We recently moved our 1 year old daughter to Kids ’ R’ Kids after several recommendations from our neighbors and we absolutely love the teachers, director, and everyone that we’ve had contact with at the preschool. Our daughter seems so much happier than she did at her old daycare and we can tell that she’s learning more.
The technology is also great. We are able to watch everything going on in her classroom from an iphone app and they use fingerprint technology to verify us when we pick her up or drop her off before entering the room.
We’re very pleased that we found Kids ‘R’ Kids and will recommend this school to everyone. We also like that they are very involved with children charities and non-​profits such as Sunshine on a Ranney Day. They really care and it shows.

I taught at this Preschool several years ago in the Pre-​K program, and I must say that this school is exceptional! The facility is beautiful, clean, and inviting. The extra programs offered were very unique and enjoyed so much by the children. The teachers
I worked with were excellent, and truly enjoyed being there. Mr. Paul, the owner, always made sure his teachers knew how much he appreciated them. He always let us know how much we were appreciated with dinners, flowers, cakes, special trips, and more. When the teachers that take care of your children feel appreciated and valued, you know they will come to work feeling happy coming into such a positive working environment and in turn will shine as educators for your children. I will never forget this place! The only reason I am not teaching here now is because I moved to Pennsylvania!

Our son spent almost two years at KRK East Roswell and as parents of four children that have been in multiple daycare environments over a 20+ year span, we have never found a facility as consistently well run and impressive as this one. The owner (Paul) is highly engaged in the business and he knows how to attract and retain an amazing staff. Every situation, from a child biting another to handling inclement weather to communicating expectations are all handled professionally and capably. We could not be more pleased with our experience.

We have been so happy with our choice to move our four year old to Kids R Kids of East Roswell. Everyone has made us feel so welcome. In the short time he has been there, he has really fallen in love with his teachers, Nathan and Chrissy! We have been going through a rough patch at home and Nathan and Chrissy have each taken the time to talk to my husband and I to find out how they can help us through it. It is clear to see they are truly invested in his well being and genuinely care. We feel like we struck gold by being placed in the Discoverers class! Each day my son comes home singing us new songs and sharing fun facts from the day. («Mommy, we have a globe in our class. Did you know that you can see the seven continents on the globe?»).
My infant will start attending this summer and we are really excited to watch him go through their entire program.
Ms. Hilary and Ms. Suzanne at the front desk have also made a huge impact on our experience. Each time we enter the building we are greeted with a warm smile and friendly words. They are both kind, professional and resourceful.
The staff all seem genuinely happy and passionate about what they do. In the time we’ve been there, we have seen teachers rewarded with luncheons, teacher appreciation events and heard about other fun incentives like a trip to Disney for two teachers. Wow!!!
I have been working with early childhood programs for almost twenty years in many different capacities. East Roswell Preschool has exceeded my expectations by far! I’m sure my friends and family are tired of hearing me talk about our preschool but I have been seriously blown away by the world class program Mr. Paul and his director, Darla have built! Thank you, thank you, thank you a hundred times!!!

It is hard to start this review when there are so many things to say about KRK. Our twin boys came for Pre-​K and were received with open and loving arms, from the very top down everyone took the time to know them, to care for them and to see for their care. One of our boys had some issues adapting to change, and instead of calling us over and over and threatening us with suspension (like another school did), KRK actually had us meet with their principal and his teacher to devise a joint plan of action, we coordinated efforts and reinforced at home what was being taught at school. Needless to say, in a matter of weeks, our boy thrived and was simply put, happy!
As of today, the boys attend elementary school (K) and still not a day goes by where they say they miss KRK, they actually still go on their holiday camps.
To us, KRK became part of our extended family, a shoulder where we got support and an ear that paid attention to all of our needs. Thank you!

I worked at Kids R Kids East Roswell Preschool for two years before retiring from day care. It was one of the best, if not the best, places I’d worked over the many years that I worked in day care. It’s not just a day care center where the children are «kept busy», it is a preschool where the children learn and where the teachers are concerned about the «whole» child. They plan lessons that meet the physical, emotional, creative and educational needs of each child. Mr. Paul, the owner, is a hands on owner who cares about the staff, parents and children in his center. He makes sure his teachers feel appreciated by doing various teacher appreciation events throughout the year, free massages, contests where you can win money or paid days off, dinners, etc. The directors are all easy to get along with and will bend over backwards to help you out if you need them. If you’re looking for a great preschool for your child, or a great place to «teach», then Kids R Kids East Roswell Preschool is for you.

Kids R Kids East Roswell Preschool Summer Camp is the best!
What makes them stand out from all the other camps?
First it is the people who work there. I have a six-​year-​old and a 4-​year-​old. Throughout the years, we have experienced all different kinds of camp. And one thing I learned is that” never ever pick a camp based on the facility”. For kids of pre-​school age, a state-​of-​art swimming pool or a story book setting building with a grand theatre will not impress them much and will not make them enjoy the camp more. However they will know and feel it immediately if the staff who care for them everyday simply don’t care. The teachers/​counselors who work at the East Roswell Preschool camp are all well trained, warm, caring professionals. They amazed me from day one. Miss Donna alleviated the separation anxiety and prevented a melt down my 4-​year-​old was about to have on the first day of camp with a hug and kiss and skillfully redirected him with a tour of the tent. Knowing his dairy allergy, Miss kiticha bought him soy ice cream the day before the classroom party so he will not feel left out. You know that your child is at the right place when the teacher thought about your child’s needs before the mother did.
Second of course it is all the fun they have had this whole summer. The camp go on field trips on average 2 – 3 times a week. While they are not on the field trip, they have magicians, Club Scientific, Ken the reptile wrangler come to their classroom. There is never a dull moment and they are all such an excellent mix of fun and educational experience. My six year old was explaining to me yesterday why owls have two stomachs and how they digest their food. He picked that up that while they went to Chatthoochee Nature Center. If you are a working parent and will need the camp aftercare, don’t expect to see your kids being left to play by themselves with minimal adult supervision, which is common for lots of the Metro Atlanta camp aftercare program with the camp activities ending at 4 or 5. Here at the East Roswell Preschool camp, they will be playing in the water park or on the playground with the teachers getting wet and having as much fun as the kids. Mr. Dan, Mr Stan and Miss Collean are our favorite targets for water attack!
Third it is their flexibility and resourcefulness. After a fist few field trips, my 4 years old said the only thing he does not like is the car ride, which I agree can be long sometimes. Since I have not had much luck with asking camp to change their schedule based on kids’ need in the past, I did not even try this time. The day before the scheduled field trip to the Atlanta speedway, which is more than 2 hours ride from the camp, the teachers told me that the 4 year old class has a choice of either going on the field trip or staying behind in the classroom and enjoy a popcorn and movie because they felt that the 2 hours car ride can be a bit too much for some 4 year old. Wow! Guess someone is listening to what the kids have to say. Kudo for camp director Lynn, who is always open to suggestions, feedbacks and new ideas.
About the resourcefulness of the teachers and school, it is such a saving grace for busy parents. Every summer, getting kids ready for camp in the morning is a big logistic operation about which I feel inadequate. Between swim suit, towels, sheet and blanket, lunch boxes, water bottle, snack bags, swimming goggles, I am bound to forget something and kids can be trusted to lose some. On average, we lose 1 lunchbox, 2 pairs of swimming goggles, 3 water bottles, 4 towels every summer. This summer, by the 4^th week, I am getting freaked out that I am still not getting any call from school about my child needing sheet or blanket or any swimming stuff. When I asked the teacher, they explained that they have backup blanket and sheet for kids who forgot or lost theirs. They also wash the swimming attires right on site so that the kids will have them for next water time. I am so relieved and started feeling that maybe this summer I can finally relax and get to enjoy it myself too!
I can go on and on. But the most important thing is here at East Roswell Preschool, from the staff at the front desk, Chef Dick who cooks up yummy good for kids every day, to the owner Paul who knows all the kids by their name, they all make you feel that they enjoy what they are doing and they care about your children.
Any downside? Of course! Our kids enjoy the camp so much that when we announced to them that we are going on a cruise to Caribbean for a week. My six year old said ” But mommy, I told my friend Jimmy that I will show him my Pokemon cards” and my 4 year old said” Mommy, but we are going to miss the braves game next week.” Then two of them together «Can we stay at the camp for just one more day before we go on vacation please please Mommy pretty please? »
