Kiddie Academy of Glendora

We are very happy with Kiddie Academy. We have two girls who attend and they both love it. The owners are extremely involved and go above and beyond to make it a great experience for the kids. The teachers are very patient and always interact well with the kids. The center is always clean and well kept. We would highly recommend Kiddie Academy in Glendora!

Came to do a site visit. Impressed with the remote camera and structured scheduled but an employee walked in to work coughing and sounded real sick. Administrator expressed that only have certain staff on rotation and can’t afford them on sick leave as they have to scramble to find replacement. BIG turn off allowing staff to work when they are sick. We are taking about children’s well being here not just keeping your payroll in check. Sorry but it’s just too bad.

My husband and I went to the school for a tour we liked the facility and decided to put our child in the school. we left our number with the director who told us she will call us back. She didn’t so I called and left my number again. She was very inviting and even said she could accommodate us. Obviously she was being fake and unprofessional. When you say I will call you back on on this day… you should call back!! That’s called being professional. We know people are human and forget, but after a second call they should have at least given us a call back. We found this to be very unprofessional, lazy, and disrespectful.

Amazing place, amazing staff! My kid goes here and I would recommend it to anyone! The facility is clean. They are patient, educational, and loving towards my family and I. Warm environment that is exceptional and friendly.

My daughter graduated from their pre-​k program in June this year and we love the school so much that we had to write a review. The teachers are wonderful, very caring and creative. They make each child feel special. The owners always have extra events at the school for the kids to look forward to, petting zoo, pony rides, face painting. The curriculum is great as well. Our daughter would come every day talking about what she had learned. For our family having kiddie academy was like a home away from home for our little one. I would recommend this school to everyone. They really care and go above and beyond for each person.

I came by to see the school a couple of days ago. I was actually impressed with the school because it was clean, specious and the idea of being able to watch my child online pretty much sold me but today I came by to pick up the paperwork to sign her up and honestly I am so discouraged. Before even walking in, we could hear someone screaming at a child telling the child to clean up. Once we came in the screaming continued even after someone saw us come in. I know kids can get put of hand and it may get stressful for them at times but I do not want anyone screaming at my child. Once she finally came to talk to me I can tell she was overwhelmed. I told her we wanted to meet the teacher and possibly get started. The teacher was at lunch and she was covering for her. I took the paperwork and left… I should’ve said something but I didn’t know if I was being paranoid but I definitely will not be coming back.

Love this daycare! Everyone is so professional & friendly. The center is so high tech, with an electronic sign in & sign out program, electronically locked doors, webcams & long operating hours. It is every working parents dream come true. My 6 year old attended Kiddie Academy last summer when we had no one to pick him up from summer school. Let’s just say they are very accommodating & special needs friendly. My son has asthma & a moderate hearing loss. My son would definitely be attending their afterschool program if he was in their pick up zone

Don’t let the fancy cameras or security doors fool u, the kids don’t get offered water after coming inside from playing for 30min. My don was out of school for a few days bc we went on vacation and when we came back his feet started itching like he got athletes foot. I told his teacher my story she said that there was a sickness going around the WHOLE school called hand foot and mouth. As a new mom I didn’t know what that was never heard of it I looked it up and bam that’s what he had. His feet were red and bleeding bc they burned and itched him so bad. They claim I got a paper in his cubby but that’s bull sh*t for you. I revived nothing. I would have never brought him back if I knew this. Don’t bring your child to school here. They even charge you when your kid doesn’t come in for school.

The «former» employee review is ridiculous and untrue. If in fact that person is an actual «former» employee then she would know that Beth, the owner, is in fact the owner and not the director of the center. The director of the center one that makes the decision of how the kids are shifted during the day. Denise is the current director of the center and she makes a very good effort in minimizing the movement of kids for room to room. Usually when children are being shifted to another room it’s because that kid is going to be moving to a new room soon and they are being transitioned into that room and the child needs to get use to the new room schedule and the teacher that are in that room. Kids are not in strollers all day. That’s very unsafe practice and is not supported or practiced by the director or owner. Beth is not out to make money and is a very dedicated owner. There are many weeks that Beth works 7 days a week to help improve her centers. L. W is very mistaken and is very incorrect!

I’m quite surprised this place didn’t receive many reviews or many good reviews. Luckily I overlooked this problem and gave Kiddie Academy a chance. Once we visited this facility, we were hooked.
I visited a few preschools before finding Kiddie Academy. This was one of the cleaner and bigger facilities, which came as an added plus for me and my husband. Also, they have webcams, so we were able to watch our child while he was away from our cozy nest at home. Breakfast, lunch, and snacks are included in the price and 2 year olds are not charged extra for not being potty trained. The teachers are very nice. They do give you a daily report on what your child did, ate, and times your child used the restroom. Kiddie Academy pride themselves on their state-​of-​the-​art security, so only parents/​guardians are allowed access into the building. Each room has an emergency exit, in case anything happens. That makes me feel more comfortable knowing that if there were ever a fire, they have the fastest and safest way out of the building.
My only issue so far would be the daycare germs. My child is usually very healthy and hardly gets sick at home. But once he started preschool, he’s gotten sick quite often. But every daycare that I talked to said it’s normal. And the pediatrician confirmed that as well, so what am I to complain about? All in all, Kiddie Academy of Glendora is a great preschool for my growing child.
I would also like to mention that Denise is wonderful! Each time my child is sick or would miss a day, she’s very kind and understanding. She allows us make-​up time and I know other places are not so willing to provide make-​up time. This means a lot especially it’s not our fault if our child is getting sick and can’t attend.

Our daughter has been going to the Kiddie academy since August 2011 and we must say this is one of the better preschools we have in this area. I say this because it is very clean, has a video monitoring system (which i think is great to keep a check on how well you child is doing) and the most important, (except for a few teachers who are no more there) the teachers here are good. They engage them in great activities and our child comes home with lot of new learning each day. I especially love Ms. Linda and Ms. Vanessa who have nurtured my child really well.
The owner Ms. Beth has been a great help whenever we’ve had a problem, She listens and takes action for any negligence at the earliest. The new Director too has brought quite some good changes.
Overall you will see teachers who are friendly and know their job well. Every place has its problems and the only problem i see with this place is that for some classes i see teachers getting changed frequently although they are working on that.
Sad that we need to search another preschool for 6 months for our daughter as we are moving out of this city.

Encourage employees to come to work sick. Owners dont care about the children or workers, all they see is money. Teachers dont have the right credentials but the owners will lie and say they do. Please if you care for your children look elsewhere, this coming from a former customer of this establishment. This Kiddie Academy has the worst management I have ever seen at a childcare center. Beth the owner will say or do anything to get you in the door but all she wants is your money and its not cheap either. Ive delt with ymca childcare, options and many more.
