    Christina Palagonia, Director

    I am so excited to be the director of Kiddie Academy of Bethpage. I have over 20 years experience working with children from birth - High School. I have an AA in Early childhood education, a BA in Speech Language Pathology and attended Adelphi University for the Masters Program. Personally I have been a director of a childcare center for over 10 years and have traveled the east coast setting up and training new staff for childcare centers. I am a mom to 3 amazing children that keep me focused on my journey to continue educating and empowering children. My passion for teaching children has brought me back to a position in the schools. I believe in building a community between the school and parents and actively seeking a partnership to work for the growth and benefit of all the families that attend our school.

Hear from our parents

I love how much my child learns!
Patricia S., Bethpage

Love the facility and providers but with multiple children and illnesses, it would be nice and helpful to have a sick bank due days paid for but not used. Example. Week has paid in full but child comes home / is sick towards end of week. Any missed half/full days should be in account so…
Melissa I., Bethpage

Everyone here is fantastic and genuinely loves kids. My daughter loves the staff and her classmates, has learned a ton and I feel is always engaged in fun creative activities.

The teachers are phenomenal, everyone is so good at telling my husband and I about what's going on with our daughter and our daughter is so happy!
Renee D., Bethpage

The staff and teachers are wonderful! It was a hard transition when my children first started (we had moved to the area so this was a new school for them). The staff put us at ease and made us very comfortable throughout the transition. Teachers and staff are always available to speak regarding any concerns…
Nicole F., Bethpage

Great staff. Friendly and happy

Always attentive to my child, questions and concerns. When I have to speak to the staff, they listen and offer their feedback.
