Testimonials from Kiddie Academy of White Plains

“Caring, thoughtful, progressive”

“All of the staff is warm, caring, and creates open lines of communication. More than anything, it's so clear how much all of the staff love kids and love Kiddie Academy. To me, this signals strong hiring and strong culture (i.e - staff feel taken care of and like someone is invested in them). We are incredibly grateful that Kiddie Academy exists!”

“The space is so new and beautiful and gives the children different options for play. But most of all, the teachers are so loving and well trained and devoted to their students. They all seem happy to be there and that happiness trickles down to the students! I feel so comfortable leaving my child there :)”

“Seems like the teachers and caregivers really care. our child seems happy and the pictures really show him engaged and active outside which is great too. ”

“The teachers and staff are wonderful. Our son is so happy to go to Kiddie Academy!”

“I love that my kid is so engaged in so many different and creative activities all day long. He really loves being there.”

“I like the addition of the pictures and videos, keep them coming! Thanks so much!”

“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.”

“creativity”

“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!”
