Kiddie Academy of La Verne

I can’t thank you all enough here at Kiddie Academy in La Verne, for making my grad daughter feel safe and secure. We had tried another preschool before coming here. they were inpatient with our grand daughter and it really showed, not to mention she can communicate very well at ²¹⁄₂. And told us a teacher yelled STOP CRYING !! Coming into Kiddie Academy here they let me watch our little girl on a big screen in the Administrators office. and I had to come in at different times without notice, they put the screen on her, she was being held by her teacher one time and an assistant teacher another time. I watched for 20 minutes and i LOVED what i saw! Mrs. Julie, Sofia, and Jenni are so patient and nurturing with her, and the kids in her class are all so sweet too. You want your child and (grand baby) to be loved and treated the way you love and treat them at home. And that’s what I see here ! Thank you to all who work at Kiddie Academy, you all are top notch with the kids. I thank you and my Grand baby loves you all !

WOW! Thank you, Thank you, Thank you. Kiddie Academy of La Verne is all around 5 stars! First of all my 3 year loves her class, and I love her teachers. My school age daughter also loves everything about it.
I love the teachers and Director
I love the education my kids get there.
I love the location super easy for drop off and pick up.
Oh yeah they also serve the children lunch and snacks.
They really care for each of my kids like their own. It is really comforting to know your kids are not only being take care of but they also like where they are.
I am so happy their is such a quality place in La Verne.
Thanks a million!

My daughter went here from when she was about 3 to preschool, 5 and we loved it. She always had a great time and I loved her teachers. I especially loved Ms. Theresa because she was always so sweet and kind to my daughter. You can rate a child care place based on how happy your child is at drop off and at pick up and mine never had a problem.

We have been bringing my daughter here for the last 2 years and she absolutely loves it! Every teacher that we have had have been truly amazing! I can’t say enough wonderful things about Miss Rosemary, Miss Sophia, Miss Bee, Miss Larissa, Miss Julie and Miss Jessica. They have all treated my little girl like their own and even after she has outgrown their classes she goes out of her way to go say hi and give hugs to her previous teachers. She is so excited to see her teachers every day and comes home to tell me about what she has learned that day! I feel that not only does the staff care for my child, they have a well put together curriculum that gives the kiddos a head start. I know she will be set when kindergarten rolls around.
We also just started taking our twin boys there about 2 months ago and I have so many wonderful things to say about their infant program! Miss Dawn is the main teacher in the infant room and she is seriously the baby whisperer! She can at any given point tell you exactly what each baby in the room needs. I wish I could take her home with me! She loves my boys like they were her own and she truly cares for each and every baby that is in her care. We were invited to call or watch the live cameras at any point to make the transition for us as parents easier. It’s always hard to leave your baby the first few times…
Miss Antoinette is the director of this facility and she is seriously one of the most organized women I’ve ever met. She is on top of it and knows her stuff. She is very professional and never leaves you questioning your decision to leave your children in her care.
Long story short: HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Had our kids in here temporarily but they did awesome. Teachers were fantastic and our kids asked to go back. If we were still living close enough we would definitely use them.

I do not recommend this place for daycare. A one star is valid. This place is a zoo. I had my child here for a year he would come home each day sick or with scratches and bruises. Too many kids to teacher ratio. Note: they won’t let you review camera for playback but let you watch it live. To there credit they have three of ten good staff members. I have placed my child at another daycare. I also recommend you sit in class for 20 mins to observe the staff. Many staff have complained about there director.

I DO NOT recommend this place. I had my daughter in the infant /​toddler program and the teacher that is there full time is really good I liked her. However if she is not there or when she leaves they just grab whoever they can to watch the children. I had at least 8 different people of the course of a month watching the room everytime I picked her up. Most of the teachers there can’t be over the age of 21 they look like they are straight out of highschool. If you want to be paying money for a new teacher to watch your child every other day then by all means go for it. When I pay this kind of money for daycare I expect some consistency, it is apparent that they are only trying to use the cheapest method to get the most money, frequently they mix age group children together just so they dont have to spend the money to have 2 teachers watching 2 groups of children in separate rooms. I could not agree more with the review from Leigh R. I second her opinions exactly.

I definitely DO NOT recommend this place for your infant, baby or toddler. I can not speak about the older aged children and programming, however, I would be skeptical of that too. I know how important it is to choose a safe and enriching environment for this age group as my little one went here and this was not that. The infant/​toddler program is unstructured, poorly managed and there are huge safety concerns.
Infants have been harmed due to the fact that they have mixed various aged toddlers into the «infant room» that they advertise to unsuspecting parents as being only an infant room. They tell you that when the babies start walking they move to the next room. Well this is only partially true. They shuffle the children back and forth as they please. An infant was not being watched well and was injured by one of these toddlers, not to mention the adult was not watching and laid the infant helpless next to the toddler. A very terrible thing. There are no gates between them and poor judgement by an adult leads to a huge safety hazard.
I will say that the actual regular teacher in the «infant class» works well with the babies, however, it was my experience that the program suffered and they had the infant teacher in and out of the class running other errands for the program. Why you would have a teacher leave a classroom of babies that need consistency is beyond me, but again this is just one example of the poor decisions made at this place.
When things are addressed with the director or the owners/​managers they try to brush issues off and say they plan on making changes but never actually make any changes. They also do not respond to parents emails or requests in a timely fashion.
This place is not worth the costs financially or the safety costs of your precious infant or toddler. Looks are very deceiving. Of course at the end of the day it is your choice, but take it from another mother in the community and I would look at other options.

This place is AWESOME! My kids love this place and cant wait to go to school to see Ms. Debbie who is the director and she is great! I really appreciate that Ms. Debbie is stricked, however still shows my kids how to be considerate to each other and how to use proper manors! One of the best things about this place is that they care about our kids health with all fresh and organic meals which is important to me! The facility is safe with the security at the front door. The curriculum is amazing and the kids come home with stories and songs that they want us to sing at home which makes me feel good about sending my two kids here!
I will be sad when my kids go to kindergarden next fall.
