What Parents Say
5 reviews from parents
We absolutely love this daycare! My son has grown so much since starting here—socially, emotionally, and academically. The teachers are caring, patient, and truly invested in each child. He’s always excited to go and comes home happy, which means everything to us as parents. We’re so grateful for such a loving and supportive environment. Highly recommend!
Our daughter has been going here since she was 10 months old—almost 3 years now—and we’ve had such a wonderful experience! She’s learned so much and made so many friends. The teachers are amazing—so caring and patient. Her favorite teacher, Ms. Rosario, is the sweetest! She truly loves kids and enjoys taking care of them. You can also tell the owner and director really care about the children and love what they do. We’re moving due to family reasons, but our daughter will carry so many priceless childhood memories from this place. We feel so lucky to have found this daycare!
We absolutely love this daycare! The teachers are warm, patient, and truly care about the kids. My 2 kids are learned so much since starting here — from early learning skills to social interaction — and are excited to go every morning. The staff keeps us updated throughout the day, which gives us so much peace of mind. The environment is safe, clean, and full of fun activities that keep the kids engaged and happy. We couldn’t ask for a better place for our kids to grow and learn!
We’ve had a wonderful experience at Kiddie Academy. Both our son and daughter attended from the 1-year-old class through the 4-year-old class, and we couldn't be more grateful for the care they received along the way. From Ms. Fareena, Ms. Nelly, and Ms. Janet in the early years to Ms. Rosario and Ms. Alishiba most recently, every teacher and admin has made a lasting impact. Special thanks also to Ms. Mariale, Ms. Maru, Ms. Kenia, Ms. Gabby, Ms. Nicolle, and Ms. Najia for their warmth, patience, and dedication, including some creative hair styling sessions! :) Our kids had their moments in those early years, but the staff met every challenge with compassion. The growth we’ve seen has been incredible. It astonishes us how much vocabulary, knowledge, and creativity they come home with. We’re also grateful for the thoughtful curriculum and daily structure. Ms. Glenda and Ms. Sandra have created something special, and their leadership and commitment show in every classroom. Our kids truly enjoyed going to school each day, and the constant photo and daily updates were a bonus that helped us feel connected. Thanks to Kiddie Academy, they are more than ready for Pre-K. We’re so thankful for this supportive and nurturing environment.
We absolutely loved our experience at Kiddie Academy of Aliana! From the very first day, the entire staff welcomed our family with warmth and professionalism. Our two kids, Ricky and Renee, have grown so much during their time here—academically, socially, and emotionally. It’s been amazing to watch their confidence blossom in such a nurturing and positive environment. The teachers are not only highly skilled but also incredibly loving and patient. Ricky would wake up every morning excited to go to school—he loved the activities, the lessons, and especially the friends he made. His English has improved dramatically, and he became more independent and eager to learn. The communication with parents is excellent. We always felt informed, supported, and respected. The classrooms are bright, clean, and full of creativity. The outdoor play area is safe and fun, and every corner of the school shows thoughtfulness and care. Sadly, we had to relocate due to work, but Kiddie Academy of Aliana will always hold a special place in our hearts. Thank you for giving our children such a strong and joyful start to their learning journey. We 100% recommend this school to any family looking for a place that treats your children like their own.
