Academy For Kids

Love it here!. My children have been attending this day care since my son was 3 months old (he is now starting kindergarten), my daughter is 18 months old. The staff genuinely care and love working with kids. ANYTIME I have had a question or concern the owner and I have talked it through and come up with solutions. I will be very sad when my children are too old to attend here anymore. Remember when picking a care facility that you also have to put forth effort and communicate your expectation clearly. This facility and staff WILL work with you!  View Less … View More

Great child care. Academy for Kids provides a safe and caring environment for children. They were recommended to me from two separate friends. One of my friends daughters is now a teen and still speaks very highly of Miss Teresa and the Academy. Miss Teresa helps the children learn about responsibility through her "child elected government". She has organized plays and activities and allowed the children quiet time to work on homework. At one point my son was having difficulty with another child. I spoke to Miss Teresa who was very quick to address it. She doesn't tolerate "bully" behavior. I never had a problem after that day. She also checked in with me for several weeks after to make sure there were no reoccurrences or retaliation. I cannot say enough about how well the staff take care of the children. Nancy the director is very kind and thoughtful and explains everything clearly in the beginning so there are surprises. Nancy wrote a wonderful recommendation to the school board to help me with a transfer. I was in the middle of selling a house and the kids would have to transfer after two weeks to a month. She and all the staff really worked hard to help my children start one school to have stability. This is a wonderful environment for children.  View Less … View More

Properly supervised. The care received at Academy for kid is wonderful. The program that Ms. Teresa has put together is like no other. She tries very hard to put fun and exciting activities together and keep the cost to a minimum. That is a hard task to accomplish. Daycare is not cheap. I am very thankful to have this staff surrounding my family. They treat all of us with the most respect there is. My son loves everyone of them and we love them too. Keep up the good work!  View Less … View More

Caring teachers, Happy kids!. We would love to share our families wonderful experience at Academy for Kids. Our children have attended Academy for Kids for nearly 4 years. Our son started as an infant and is now thriving in the preschool program. The preschool program offers a strong academic focus that is perfectly age appropriate. Our son has learned all of his letters, letter-sounds, colors and numbers! He is now beginnig to write and comes home with wonderful art activities and projects. He enjoys going to school and is always treated with love and caring guidance. In the school-age program, our daughter has a safe and fun place to go after school. The head teacher Ms.Teresa, is a loving person, always ready with a smile and big hug for the kids. She provides wonderful opportunities for the kids to to be involved in crafts, projects, student government and fundraisers that build leadership skills. She also directs a yearly musical program for the entire school (all ages)! She and the other staff members go above and beyond other after-school programs we've seen. To dispel any concerns a family may have, our children have always been closely supervised (as appropriate for their age) and provided care when they have received a bump or bruise..that happens with kids! To imagine that any teacher at Academy would not provide care to a child or that any child could be "yelled at" or "berated" by another parent or adult in a classroom with teachers present is absurd. We highly recommend Academy for Kids!  View Less … View More
