Concerned Parent May 07, 2021
I have used this provider for more than 6 months

I am so disgusted and disappointed by how I was treated by Gregory and his wife Miss Kingga. Today my son was wrongfully expelled from the school after going there for over two years. Gregory who is the director of the school has always been very rude and disrespectful and when you try to communicate with him, he gets even more rude and today he started screaming at the top of his lungs on the phone with me when I called to find out about a text he sent me. I was screamed at and then threatened to have my son kicked out of the school and then he hung up on me twice and then ignored my calls. Then his wife who works there, Miss Kingga answered and of course she started to defend him by telling lies. Like I said, my son has been going to this school for over two years and today he was wrongfully expelled. The email had an attachment with all lies being the reasons he was being kicked out from the school. Gregory only did that and lied of course in the document to spite me for calling to find out what happened and he started to scream at me and threaten to kick my son out the school. I was never given the chance to come in and talk to my son’s teacher about the situation or anything and Gregory lied in the entire document about it. I highly do not recommend sending your child to this school. I was advised not to by some of the teachers and staff but this school was closest to my house. That’s the only reason I sent my son to that school. And of course Gregory will pretend that he is nice in the beginning when you’re registering your child to the school but soon after, his true colors starts to show. He’s been very rude to other parents too. I’ve witnessed it. Again, I do not recommend sending your child here.

After my experience today with YKA I must say the new administration is terrible. My son goes to that school and been going there for over 2 years. My son got 3 incident reports from that school due to the fact of the owner son. The owner son is a bully and doesn't listen to anyone. He is 3yrs old and is in the 2yrs old class bullying the other kids around. Its Not fair. If you feel the need to complain about the safety of your child please feel free to call the corporate office at 954- 357-4800.

STAY AWAY! They rotate teachers and staff every couple of months. Not good for children to continuously be introduced to new faces and as soon as they feel safe, they get a new teacher. The son of the owner doesn't know how to operate a school, it's visible by the rotation of staff. There is a child that is constantly abusing other kids, but since he is family to the owners nothing is being done about it. Stay away so this child doesn't attack your child next.

They have all these new fancy gadgets to cover up the lack of management experience. The son of the owner is always saying that his school is the best, and have high scores but how can you have high scores if you don't have real vpk. Do yourself a favor and keep your child far away, the teachers and staff are great but the owners are a nightmare.

Since the owner retired, the school has gain down, The son is running that place under the ground. If you have a kid currently at that school, make sure you feed them right after school. The son cut the breakfast to nothing.

I have enrolled my child with Young Kidz Academy as my co-worker's children both attended here and she has always ranted and raved about how happy she is with both the teachers and the facility. It has been a great experience. The staff is friendly and they care for each child. I love that you have full visibility to the rooms and can watch the children. They have created a beautiful learning environment. My child is learning and is happy, that is what is most important.

A happy mother Sep 21, 2013

My daughter attends Young Kidz Academy and she absolutely loves it. I am also really happy with how dedicated the staff is and how all of our needs are met. My three year old daughter is learning math, reading, and even spanish at an amazing rate. Young Kidz treats us like we are family. Thanks so much!
