I have used this provider for less than 6 months

We were visiting a few places in the area and this one looks like the nicest and cleanest, offers lots of extra stuff like hot food and enrichment programs at a very reasonable rate. We just enrolled 2 of our kids and can not be happier.

My son went to Mickey Academy for 3 years. My child loves going and even wakes up on weekends asking to go to school! What a wonderfully fabulous place to send a child! As a teacher myself I just couldn't be more pleased to send my child here! I leave for work knowing that my child is having a great day!!! The staff is very attentive and caring! We were so lucky to have such safe place to bring our kids while we were at work, it was a wonderful experience for all.

My 3-year old child has been going to this daycare for the past 2 years. So far, I am extremely pleased with the staff's attentiveness to care for the children, protection to ensure the safety of the environment, and eagerness to motivate kids to learn, especially in an enjoyable manner. If I had any issues, I would usually have easy time communicating with the faculty and the owners, and take care of it immediately. Importantly, these owners are very caring and genuine to share any concerns and encouragement for the children to learn in a great, safe environment. Ultimately, I appreciate their sincerity and helpfulness to encourage all children's positive growth. With that said, I am excited to see my child finish his journey in this daycare as he is being prepared to move on to elementary school. Love this daycare!!

About the Provider

Advertisement
Our daycare accepts children from the ages of two weeks to five years of age. Their tender ages are matched with tender care from our qualified staff members and dynamic director, all of whom love to work with children. Our center is constantly growing its clients. This is due to an attitude in which we embrace and enhance our daycare services by taking feedback from parents and teachers seriously. Whether through verbal discussions or written feedback, we take to heart what anyone who walks through our doors thinks. As such, we have an open-door policy so that parents can visit their children anytime and observe our services.
We also create a daily activity report so that the child’s behaviors and tendencies as well as specific services can be read by parents at the end of the day. In this report, we also include fun activities such as games played with friends with whom your child interacted, and even a customized note from the teacher describing your child’s best moment of the day. We believe that the more carefully we watch your children grow, the stronger our team becomes between parent, child, and teacher; this allows for the best child development.
