As a first time Mom I dreaded going back to work and entrusting someone else with my child...nothing was going to be "good enough". The staff at Kids Academy made the transition for me less painful and reassured me that my baby was in good hands. My daughter is two years old now and with the help of Kids Academy's staff and their learning program she can count to ten to include reading the numbers, knows her shapes, ABCs, colors, and a vocabulary of three letters to eight letter words. We believe no other child development center in Robeson County could come close to the program or care at Kids' Academy not to mention their flexibility with parents work hours...they are GREAT!!
Signed - VERY HAPPY PARENTS
