We absolutely love Kiddie Academy of WP! We are a new family in Rye, NY, and welcomed our baby girl in May of this year. As working parents, we were eager to find the best care for her during the day. (Due to Covid, finding in-home care was challenging, so we had to look for daycares.) After extensive research- we enrolled our daughter here and could not be more pleased that we did!  The hours are amazing and flexible. The teachers are an absolute joy and it is obvious how much they love each child. We get pictures throughout the day, and they also let us know which skills they are focusing on during their daily activities. We have an app that allows us to communicate with the teachers. This is where we can request they focus on a specific developmental need (more tummy time, etc), and inform them of anything they should be aware of (like teething or a rough night sleeping).  No matter what time of day we pick our daughter up, we always are thrilled with what we see when we peek through the door. It is also great seeing every teacher in the school greet our daughter by name even if she is not in their classroom specifically. - Ashley D. on 11/18/2021

It's a safe, education-focused daycare with great staff. Kaila's regular teachers are great and she's formed a good bond (she especially loves Ms. Amanda). I like the weekly/monthly lesson plans and the art & crafts projects that go along with it. I'd love to see Kaila's artwork in person more - this month she hasn't come home with any art items, but we see them in her app pictures. Storytime is great! I'm happy the kids have daily outdoor/indoor playtime. The food menu is pretty good, although Kaila has noted some items are "too soft", but that could just be her personal taste/preference. The app is a really useful feature and we love the insight into our daughter's day, but sometimes the meals are left unmarked and not sure whether any napping occurs (what Kaila says doesn't always match up with the app details). The only thing I'd ask to be improved on is for a bit more communication from the teachers, if Kaila has any sort of accident at school. I'm not asking to be notified about every fall and stumble, of course. But earlier this month, she had a playground mishap that resulted in a bruise under her eye. I didn't get any details about it until the following morning, when I asked the teachers (since 3yr olds don't always give complete details). It wasn't a big deal that it happened, but would have loved to be updated by one of the teachers at pick-up time. All in all - very happy with the service and quality of care. Thank you! - Corrine T. on 11/11/2021

Great teachers, our daughter is very happy, very good with food allergies. - Andrew O. on 11/11/2021

We love so much about the program! Ms. Niely is fantastic - involved and responsive, incredibly caring. All the activities and explanations for their role in developmental growth. Wonderful and clean facilities, a varied and delicious menu. The staff take the time to relay stories and little things they noticed throughout the day. Leah and Barbara’s phenomenal leadership. Overall, we’re impressed with how smoothly things run considering they opened just a few months ago! - Christine B. on 11/11/2021

Teachers are so great and loving! Classrooms are so well put together. The variety of food that's prepared on-site has been a huge help for us! Just overall, a fantastic atmosphere! - Azalia A. on 11/11/2021

Everyone is lovely and super helpful! The structure is wonderful: 3.5 year old has a robust curriculum that keeps him engaged and learning (while he is so hungry to do so!), yet still a lot of structured/free play that he loves. Our 1.5 year old has warm and patient teachers that have been working with her through the adjustment to daycare. - Jennifer D. on 11/11/2021

The nice people - Ricardo M. on 11/11/2021
