What Parents Say
5 reviews from parents
My daughter has been attending since November 2025 and she loves it! She started at 11 mo old and is now almost 1.5 years old. As soon as she started we saw her totally change in the best ways! She was more social and learned new skills quickly from interacting with other kids. She eats well, sleeps well, and the teachers love on her just right! She is happy and content as so are we as parents. The daily updates are plenty for new parents, we get at least two photos daily. The admissions process was also way easier than we ever expected! We trust kiddie academy every morning we drop her off to give our daughter the best day possible.
I had my son enrolled here for 1.5 years, and unfortunately, the quality has declined significantly. There is constant teacher turnover, and some staff appear to have no clear role while still being paid with tuition funds. Communication is poor, especially regarding changes that affect families, leaving many parents frustrated and unhappy. Despite already being the most expensive option in Bryan-College Station, they recently increased tuition. When we raised concerns, the response was not only unprofessional but also insensitive. Overall, this school no longer provides the value it once did. I do not recommend it.
My daughter has been attending this daycare since she was less than a year old, she is now almost 2 & if I could recommend any place, it would be this academy! I’m very cautious with who’s around my daughter & an anxious parent but they have made it so easy to trust them. Every teacher she’s had have been so attentive, patient & caring. She’s learned so much being here, it’s not just a daycare they learn so many different skills. I appreciate the updates throughout the day & the warm welcome walking in!!
I highly recommend KA! The front office staff are incredibly kind and welcoming. My daughter is happy to be there, and we absolutely love all her teachers, especially Tyra and Brenda. They’ve made such a positive impact on her experience!
We absolutely love Kiddie Academy! From the moment we enrolled, the staff made us feel like family. The facility is always clean, organized, and full of engaging activities that keep the kids learning and having fun. The front office staff, especially Ms. Lorena, have always been very welcoming and quick to help with questions or concerns! I want to give a special thank you to Ms. Beverly, Ms. Alexis, and Ms. Ragen. They are truly the heart and soul of the classroom. Their warmth, patience, and dedication are unmatched. Every day, they greet the children with a smile and make them feel seen, heard, and loved. Our child has blossomed under their care, growing in confidence, kindness, and curiosity. We’re so grateful for the nurturing environment they’ve created. Kiddie Academy is lucky to have such amazing teachers… and so are we!
