Kiddie Academy of Burlington

I toured the school to transfer my kids from another Kiddie Academy location. We love the whole experience of the parent company, the architecture and beautiful clean spaces, the curriculum, the web cameras, the daily emailed reports with photos and the nice healthy menu with breakfast, lunch and snacks provided — very rare among daycares. Their hours at this location are great — 7am to 6:30pm and their rates are among the most reasonable and I’ve looked at something like 15 daycare centers in the area. This particular school is brand new as of April 2015. It’s still wide open for enrollment, also rare! The location is on a very big road, but the entrance and playground are way below street level in a building that’s built into a big hill. The playground is one of the very awesomest that I’ve seen in daycares, large, safe/​gated, with real grass and these giant shade canopies over half of each playground. There are two playgrounds side by side for older and younger kids. This ended up being a little distant for us as we’re in a neighboring town, but if our current place doesn’t work out, this is where we’ll go and will be happy to deal with the longer drive for the sake of everything Kiddie Academy has to offer. It’s one of the most civilized looking daycares around (both locations) and so very clean. Their teaching methods have been wonderful for our daughter — it feels like a school, not at all just babysitting. Of course, I based that on the other location, but the curriculum comes from the parent company.
