He’s not even 3 yet, but he can count to 10 in English and Spanish! So grateful to Wading River Kiddie Academy in our lives!!!! ”

“The overall curriculum”

“We are big fans of kiddie academy. I met one of the owners and their director when we first enrolled, around 4 years ago. My little one was around 5 months old. This was also around the time they first opened. We are treated very well, my concerns are always addressed, and I always get a phone call if there's something I should know, such as a fall on the playground or other such incidents. The admin staff is fantastic as well, very friendly, warm and welcoming, even at the very last minute of the day when everyone is usually exhausted and moody! The teachers go through training of some sort on a regular basis. My son has moved from classroom to classroom throughout the time he's been there to accommodate his level of advancement. They have educational programs in place, and teach them age appropriate skills. They are fed meals and snacks, always healthy. My son loves it here, and I'm sometimes surprised by his vocabulary, or a random skill of some sort he tells me learned there. It's so hard to trust our kids with anyone nowadays, I'm sure we all see the news and the awful and sometimes tragic things that happen in some inadequate daycare center or private preschool. I have an older son who I had to navigate the world of daycare and preschools for, moving him now and then because of some safety issue or staff that doesn't seem well trained, or sometimes, you just get a weird vibe. Having said that, I can't tell you how much I appreciate having people I trust care for and teach my child.”

“I love that place ”

“Whatever you guys are doing, it's effective. Alex is a completely different child-- he eats by himself and eats meat, and he cleans up after himself. We love the science experiments and the way handwashing is a part of their every day routine. ”

“Always feel that our child is in great hands. She's so cared for, she's kept entertained, and she's learning throughout the day.”

“I think the educational aspect could be a little more structured, but what I enjoy most is that I trust dropping my children off in your care. ”

“Kiddie Academy is the best, hands down! They not only provide exceptional education through play and experiments, but they provide a nurturing and safe environment. The attention and care that they demonstrate to each child is beyond anything I’ve ever seen. I will recommend them a thousand times. ”

“We couldn’t have picked a better child care center! Our daughter loves it there and learns so much! It is easy to see the teachers really care about the kids!”

“I love the detailed reports I receive daily for all four of my children and the pictures of them learning and having fun at school! ”

“It’s more than a daycare and more like a learning environment along with fun. I feel like the teachers truly care about each kid and make an effort to do fun things to teach. ”

“I feel my child is ahead of the curve in preparedness to start Kindergarten”

“Best management. Very attentive. Great principal fantastic teachers with one minor exception! Love this school!!”
