Hear from our parents

Great activities and learning opportunities for kids! Good variety of healthy foods for breakfast and lunch. And a staff that really cares!
Rebecca S., Wilmington

I Love the KA staff... we have come a long way since we started there. It is pricier than others but I also understand you pay for what you get. $310 a week is a LOT of money and that is the only reason I gave a 9. Love KA though
Eryn J., Wilmington

We love the outside time that the children get, and the hands-on gardening. We love that (unlike some schools we've been with) KA does not follow the local public school district calendar, such that the kids take weeks of vacation each year (Thanksgiving week, Spring Break, Inservice Days, etc), and the parents are paying for…
Adam B., Wilmington

Everything, we love the teachers, the directors, the curriculum, the activities. This is the best facility in Wilmington hands down! We are so grateful for Kiddie Academy.
Stephanie B., Wilmington

I absolutely love the pre-k program. Woodley is ready for kindergarten and is even ahead of grade level ! Ms. Kayla is the best
Maribeth J., Wilmington

I like that the teachers are so involved with the kids.
Christina A., Wilmington

I feel like the teachers genuinely love my kids which is so important to me. I love the weekly themes and the activities. Having a splashpad is such an added bonus. I appreciate the camera access so I can always check in and see how the kids are doing. Love the fresh food they get…
Casie G., Wilmington

Friendly, welcoming, safe environment. Transparent curriculum and daily updates.
Grace D., Wilmington

Multiple areas that the school explores with the kids that go above and beyond for teaching. Not only are the kids learning valuable lessons to get them ready for Elementary school, but also incorporating lessons such as gardening and making different types of food is so nice to see.
Samantha T., Wilmington

The professionalism.
Thomas N., Wilmington
