Kids Academy

As both a mother and a teacher, I recommend Kids Academy. The director Ms. Azar was very professional and helpful as she helped my son adjust to a new environment. Being a child that was raised by only family, my son really needed people that would be patient with his emotional drop-​offs and separation anxiety. His mornings began with hellos from all the staff, toys to play with, books to read so he can transition easily. Ms. Kelly is awesome; although she wasn’t his teacher, she took an interest in him, comforted him, helped him adjust, and was present in the classroom. He took to her and enjoyed seeing her smiling face everyday. That being said, my son became part of the Kids Academy family and enjoyed going to daycare. By the end of his year there, his speech development doubled, he learned to socialize, and understood the daily routines of a classroom. I really feel it was a great prerequisite experience for pre-​school.

After 3 years, I believe it is time to give my review on this school, my daughter started preschool here for 2 years and ms. Kellie, mrs. Roberta where so kind and PATIENT with the children. I know first hand because I volunteered my time at least twice a week. Now this Is Casandra’s 3^rd and last year in kindergarten with Mrs. Meekie and I am ready for public school because my daughter is reading and writing a full page and is independent and knows how to express herself and be vocal. Mrs. Meekie has opened up a great chapter in reading and writing For my baby. I have had the pleasure of getting to know the founder Mrs. Azar on a personal basis, of course 3 years can do that. We are one big happy family in this school and I know all the kids and parents in my daughter’s class and they know me. The teachers and Mrs. Azar are at 110% mind set everyday to give to these kids and I consider myself lucky to have had the opportunity to bring my daughter here for these 3 wonderful years.

God forbid sending your kid there!!!
Unless you want to have sick kid! The place smells soooo badly that probably was never cleaned. I took my son here and I’ve had so many bad experiences he got a Strep throat and Scarlet fiver!!!

Kids Academy and Ms. Meekie were heaven sent. My sons were enrolled at 2 and 3 yrs, while I was going through a separation and the teachers, especially Ms. Meekie who receives the children in the morning were wonderful and patient every morning with their separation anxiety. Ms. Meekie works individually with each child’s education level and teaches more without pressure. My kindergartener (just turned 6), is gratuating Kindergarten from Kids Academy this summer. He knows how to read, add and subtract! He is currently learning simple multiplications, thanks to her efforts. I actually learned some discipline/​teaching skills as well over the 2 – 3 years that the kids attended. Most teachers at this school have been here for years and are great. Daycare teachers are almost like parents, while we are at work– they teach our children, comfort them, show them to have fun, etc. I would highly recommend this daycare. Ms. Meekie, thank you for your genuine love for the children, your wisdom and your hard work!
