What Parents Say
5 reviews from parents
This is the sort of place where children can go and be children! There is a wonderful balance between learning the discipline of quiet learning and concentration and also using their full energy outside. What attracted us to Kido were the massive playgrounds. Kido has several large playgrounds. All fenced in. They have European inspired and age appropriate play scapes, there are trees and real grass! They have a large variety of toys, they can pick flowers, find rocks and chase butterflies and our kid comes home tired with lots to tell and grass stains on his knees from all the fun and activities. The school also boasts having a music room and a coding room. They also learn how to make basic dishes and snacks in a school kitchen! The class rooms have great toys, crafts and books. The class rooms, like the out door space, are also very large. The kids have so much room to roam and play! They are not cooped up in a small class room. The teachers are dedicated and patient. Our son always comes home and says he misses his teacher. We often hear him practice his numbers and letters on his own at home. He sings songs they just learned. We are very impressed with Kido and our son has absolutely loved his time there and we have felt completely confident that our son is safe and happy.
my triplets found a home away from home. The warmth and care is like no place else. Thanks for all you do!
