Kiddie Academy of San Jose

All 3 of my boys go to KA. From the infant room to the after school program I have always been very happy with the care they show my children. The teachers have become like family as a mojority of them have been at the facility for many years. The open line of communication between the teachers, assistants and the director is always appreciated. My boys and I get compliments on how well they play with others and how well they behave… this is in part to all the great care and teaching that is given to them here at KA. BONUS… they now have emails of the daily report and pic as well of the children through out the day and I LOVE IT!!!

My son has been coming here for about 2 months now. He loves his teacher Ms. Lupe. I’ve seen a huge improvement in him compared to his other preschool he was attending. Its been hard potty training him, I told his teacher I want to start potty training and the next day she made it happen and he has been using the bathroom more and more. I am very impressed with the school. The staff is really friendly and super nice. They make it easier for me to drop him off at school. I am beyond happy to have him attending this school. Thank you Kiddie Academy for everything you have done so far. :)

I don’t understand why all the good reviews. This place is filthy! Came to story time with Curious George. It was obviously a marketing event for the daycare so shouldn’t the staff put a little effort in cleaning up the place? Ginormous trash bin overflowing like it hasn’t been dumped in days. Food/​crumbs all over floor, dirt ground in on the tables, chairs and shelves. Toys were visibly dirty and broken. Power outlets were not childproofed and exposed. Cleaning supplies in reach of children. I’m not an inspector but I’ve toured enough preschools to know they were not up to code. Maybe I’m a school snob cuz I’m used to Stratford but this place was just gross to me.
On top of all that, the teacher reading was horrible and kept making reading errors. Also my 4 yr old loves to ask questions like most kids his age and he stumped the teachers on normal stuff like why do lizards want to sleep during the day. I had to jump in and explain to him nocturnal animals while 5 staff members/​teachers stood around with a blank look on their face. Lame.

So far so good =) Today is day two for my daughter who is in the 18 – 24 month classroom. Her teachers are Ms Hatice and Ms Martha whom are both nice, and made me feel comfortable leaving her.
I will be back with another review later

None of our kids started off at a daycare when they were infants, so when my husbands aunt couldn’t baby sit for our 3^rd addition anymore when he was about 4 – 5 months, it made for an anxious moment.
Toured a a few local daycare centers and family homes in the area before settling down with this one. The people are genuine which was a big plus. Honest, experienced, qualified, caring people who will nurture our child while we are working. Class size was appropriate, Ms Sonja and Ms Kelly were awesome when my son was in the infant class, and Ms Hatice is doing awesome with him in the toddlers (18 – 24) Apparently she used to a nurse in her country, which makes me feel at ease. They can identify my son’s strengths and are actively involved when asking us developmental questions that he may be doing at home but that he is not doing at daycare. I cant remember her name at the moment! but i will later lol but the lady that makes breakfast and meals my son really loves too and all the other assistants hes grown fond of. its more like a family setting vs institution. I like that. So far happy with this daycare for our lil guy. He has really bad stranger anxiety and they were proactive with transitioning him to the toddlers.

My 20 months old son was just enrolled here for 4 weeks. I can see very big improvements out of him compared to the home based daycare I used to send him to. In only few weeks, he has learned counting, animals, and singing. In terms of care, I am very satisfied also with the service that my son eats and sleeps well everyday. I used to be scared when I sent him to the daycare everyday because he cried out loud as soon as I enter the daycare door, but that problem has been solved now. Dropping him off in kiddie academy makes me relax to know that he is in good hands because I see him smiling everyday both at home and when dropping him off.

Great staff that was very loving to my children, and taught them a lot.
My 2 eldest were more than prepared for pre-​k and kinder when they entered, and they did potty training almost over night, for one of them, when the old school that they were at kept insisting that he wasn’t ready, and he would do it when he felt like it. What kind of rubbish is that? Kiddie Academy exceeded my expectations, and the only reason we left is because we moved so far away, otherwise, it would’ve been my privilege to keep my youngest there.
The boys all loved their teachers, and safety is never a problem with the kids. Codes are needed to get in and out of all doors, and the teachers are always accessible to the kids.
My only complaint – ? The yard is covered in sand. Hopefully one day, I’ll be able to make enough to donate foam for the playground, because woo! Does that sand get into everything! The kids would come home really dirty because of it! But that’s kids for you, right? :)
Otherwise, this place is the BEST in the area. Thanks, Kiddie Academy! We miss you guys!!!

I really like this daycare/​preschool. It has a check in screen when you first come in. Then you enter in your password to get into the locked doors. They have cute bathrooms for the little ones and a good amount of classrooms for the kiddies. If you exit without pressing the «special» button, the alarms will go off. They also have a really nice play area outside for the kiddies.
