For nearly 3 years, my husband and I have been humbly grateful for all that you have provided for our son. You care for him and let him be his own person, whether he is being quiet and introverted or outgoing and silly that day. He has learned skills that some kindergartners are still learning, and I never thought I"d see pictures of him learning how to write at 3 years old. All the teachers at Kiddie Academy have touched our family-- the bus driver said hello to him when he was fascinated with the bus driver, the director and assistant directors always say good morning, and the partners of the school know who we are. This level of professionalism makes us feel like we are in our right place. And on a smaller scale, his classroom teachers have reached him more than I realize. A few weeks ago, he started identifying letters of the alphabet and connecting them to his friends' names from school. I never would have thought that the letters could mean more than simple words, but he is making those intellectual connections because of his exposure to them at school. He has learned to count, to hold a marker, to play soccer, to advocate for himself, to be responsible, to be technological, and to stand in front of his peers. There is more that happens at this school in one day than I could dream of, yet I never feel like he isn't simply being a child. The concept of "learn through play" is natural for your school, and I am so grateful I don't feel like he is simply a) being babysat or b) being forced to learn. As we look to our future as a family and we look to the past for how far we've come, I can't imagine being without your guidance, friendship, and awesome, AWESOME school. - Bonnie S. on 09/21/2018

It has been a year and a half since my daughter started going to KAO and we have been amazed at how much she has learned especially for the last several months. Her speech is getting complex and shows that she is listening very carefully to others around her. She knows how to clean up her room after she is done or before going to bed, etc. All we have to say is "clean up!" We have been extremely satisfied with KAO curriculum and how caring the teachers & supervisors are. Only thing is cost. Tuition has been raised twice (every year before September) and it has now increased by about $100/m (for the same program). I am sure there are good reasons for it and I would like to know details... - Yoko C. on 09/21/2018

The activities are geared towards developing new age appropriate skills. There are a wide range of development activities that my child is engaged in. I appreciate that she has knowledgeable teachers that I often use as a resource. - Laura M. on 09/14/2018

My daughter loves going to school to play with her friends every day. There are so many different activities to do she never gets bored. - Dylan H. on 09/08/2018

My daughter has been coming home from school talking about what she had learned and excited to share the events of the day. She has even started learning site words! She is always looking for different letters to identify wether it's at the kitchen table, or on street signs she is learning and getting ready for her next journey to kindergarten with Kiddie Academy. - Kirsche M. on 09/04/2018

I'm extremely happy with Kiddie Academy. I've seen such a big difference in Jackson in the three months he's been attending. He went from a child who cried every morning at drop off and said he didn't like school to loving school and can't wait to get there every morning. I believe the educational programs and activities that you make available have helped him greatly. Hayden is also growing up and starting to become her own person. You can see how much fun she has with her teachers in the pictures they send. - Crystal H. on 08/31/2018

I love that my 1 year old can recognize colors, count, expresses himself, loves books, and knows the concept of sharing. - Rachael C. on 08/21/2018

I feel like the teachers genuinely care about my child. - Simone S. on 08/20/2018

prompt and caring support for every child. - Madan M. on 08/20/2018
