Hello All,
I just want to start off by saying this facility surpasses all prior expectations I had in regards to daycares. Any pre-conceived notion I had was immediately dismissed, the staff were all helpful and educating, the children were well-kept as well as very excited and enthused when it came to learning. My children love attending Kandi Land Academy and I will definitely be referring more families !!
There should be 0 star option. I encourage you to seek any other facility than Kandi Land. My child attended over 6 months and the experience was heartbreaking. The staff are not educated nor educating the children they sleep chat on phones all day walk barefoot and do NOT take necessary sanitary precautions. My child rarely comes home with her belongings imcluding theft of over $200 backpack and items inside. No one invesrigated it nor got back to me. Also, they lay the children on ANY linen besides their own & have poor facility maintenance conditions I.e lack of heat and air conditioning poor meal quality and literally unprofessional ghetto fabulous staff including the Owner/Director! I am beyond disgusted with this experience and currently nursing my child back to good health from a staph infection at this facility. She is a 100% healthy 3 year old beautiful smart as can be and I will tell ANYONE TO RUN FROM THIS FACILITY !!!
