We like the exposure our child gets to activities and social interaction with other children and teachers.
Gus W., Wilmington South Campus

My kids are really thriving in their current classes. They are learning so much each day and really enjoy their teachers!
Hannah F., Wilmington South Campus

I love how much my son enjoys going. I know everyday he has a good day. He has flourished so so much since starting last March; after being home with me.
Emily A., Wilmington South Campus

We are enjoying our time at KAS, since joining at the beginning of the year. The communication, cleanliness, and awareness of what my child is learning is bringing us such comfort.
Samantha K., Wilmington South Campus

Our child is treated like family every day. I always feel confident she will get love, great food, fun games and art projects every day. I love access to cameras so when I miss my baby girl I can check in and know she is having fun. We have been incredibly pleased with Kiddie Academy.
