My son started daycare here yesterday. They have been caring and patient with us. They have spent time with us in the mornings, and when I pick him up! He has never been in day care before, and we were both a little nervous. Management is very nice! Informed me of everything that we needed, and has worked with me and my family so far! I will write another review in 6 months or so. Thanks Kids Academy!! I am proud to send my child here.
Do not send your children here! These people shouldn't be allowed to care for animals let alone children. They do not feed or care for children at all. Ours came home hurt almost everyday with absolutely no explanation each time. Our biggest regret is not leaving this place sooner. Hope our little ones are not scarred for life.
Just called to ask some questions about rates and it clearly states hourly rates on this website and the lady on the phone said no part time rates. I would suggest changing your site if its wrong. thanks
Two of my children attend Kids Academy in Maumelle. I have been pleased. I am not a fan of daycare, but for those of use with 2 working parents, there aren't many options. The staff is friendly, and my kids come home happy. Only criticism would be that sometimes we don't get enough communication from the managment (ex. teacher changes, upcoming events, etc). Overall a great value, and my kids are well taken care of.
My son went here when he was 4. Almost every day the would call me or my husband to pick him up before 9 am. because he was too hyper. He had a different teacher almost every single day, most of them were very young. My son wasn't at this daycare for more than a couple of weeks before we took him out. He has been at the same daycare since and he is now 7. This daycare was horrible dealing with my child. They even mesed up our payments. Very unorganized and the people were lazy. Thinking back I am so glad my son didn't have to stay there.
My son has been attendng Kid's Academy for almost two years now, and my wife and I could not be any more pleased! They have a very nice indoor playground/area, they use an age appropriate curriculum, and they are very attentive to each child's individual needs. We both highly recommend this child care facility.
