Kiddie Academy of Locust Point

I have two children under two who attend Kiddie Academy of Locust Point. My 22-​month-​old attended a different daycare before coming to KA. My 4-​month-​old has only received care at KA.
I know how difficult it is to select a daycare and I remember the stress and anxiety that I had during our experience with the previous daycare. I wanted to write this review because I have had nothing but an incredibly positive experience with Kiddie Academy of Locust Point. My intention is to help out other moms and dads in similar positions to me.
Staff
I cannot say enough positive things about the Kiddie Academy management team and staff members! The Owner, Nimita Sheth, clearly knows what she’s doing and runs a tight ship. I’ve spoken to Melanie Demarest, the center’s Director, at length about her career in daycare upper-​management, and she has quite an impressive résumé!
Every teacher that I’ve met at KA is knowledgeable, experienced and excited about what they’re doing. Kiddie Academy is different from other daycares in many ways, but one noteworthy factor is their curriculum. Within the first week of my 22-​month-​old attending Kiddie Academy, I noticed significant improvements in his communication and skill-​set. After just one week he was talking more often and more clearly, he could sort shapes, and he knew numbers and colors. I was incredibly surprised and impressed!
Cost
I think that Kiddie Academy’s tuition is on par with several other daycares that I had looked into. However, the benefit here, in addition to staff and curriculum, is their proficient use of technology. The fact that Kiddie Academy has multiple cameras in each classroom and that I can view live video of my children’s activity at any time from my computer and/​or cell phone, provides me with incredible peace of mind. I can also access the children’s daily reports and photos throughout the day from an app on my cell phone. The technology they use allows you to virtually «check in» on your little ones throughout the day.
Convenience
The proximity of Kiddie Academy of Locust Point to I-​95 is a huge convenience factor for me.
