Kingdom Academy

this is by far the worst child daycare in the city of sarasota. the employees starting with the director and assistant. they are extremely rude. there was an incident where my child said he had been touched by a teacher and when we tried to talk to the directir about it she was not available. she was only available after she found out we talked to the cops about it. then she called me to tell me she was going to sue me for false allegations. horrible management. glad they finally closed the school.

IM GOING TO SAY THIS FIRST
!!!!MY SON IS NOT GOING BACK!!!!

My son is four and in preschool. He has been in full time daycare since he was about 18 months and intellectually he is very far ahead of most others his age.
I sent him to this school because they had excellent reviews online and we just moved to Florida so it was also 1.5 miles from my house. My friend sends her son who is also 4 there and she loved it there last year.

1. It’s at a really dangerous intersection. I was in contact with the police department about changing it somehow but they never did anything.

2. Every Monday when I try to pay for the week there is never anyone in the office. In fact there is never anyone in the office in the mornings when I drop him off at 830am. School opens at 7 I believe but at 9am when I’ve tried to call no one is there.

3. For some reason every day he comes home STARVING but there’s still snacks in his lunch box.

4. There is 12? Kids in the classroom with 1-2 teachers

5. My son was doing basic addition and spelling and learning Spanish last year at school and since he came to this school he has lost a lot of the Information. (He’s been there since the end of August).

6. Since he has been at this school he has been hit, scratched, head butted, stung by a bee, come home with pink eye..... with all of these incidents I never received a call just an “incident report” upon picking him up from school.

7. There are two kids in the classroom who constantly have issues with other students at the school and they do nothing about it. My son tells me almost daily that “my friends at school are mean to me”. It damn near breaks my heart. He tells me “(child’s name) hits me and scratches me and kicks me” so I ask him if he told the teacher and he always says yes. And I ask him what she does about it and he says “nothing”. I’ve gotten so frustrated that since telling the teacher isn’t doing anything “hit him back then. But NEVER hit someone first” (I FULLY SUPPORT SELF DEFENSE) if he started acting this way while at school here he definitely learned that from the other kid because he has NEVER been exposed to that prior. He never had these issues at his previous school.

My son’s babysitter went and picked him up from school Wednesday and told me she saw two kids fighting on the playground and the new teacher just watched them and did nothing. He also came home with pink eye that day and I never got a call from this school.

I’m writing a full review of my personal experience with this place because I feel everyone should know what kind of environment they will possibly be subjecting their children too.

The school has also lost a few of his outfits because they “washed them” but we never saw them again. Soiled/dirty clothing should be sent home in a plastic bag to prevent this.

When I went to the school to get his things since he won’t be back because he has pink eye. The director (Ms. Faith) didn’t even ask me about my reasons for leaving. She just said that if it doesn’t work out at the next school that I’m out of luck. Like I’m not going to make it a point to tell her the issues I have encountered here. Just shows she doesn’t really care or care to change anything. I have voiced my concerns with the teacher several times and every time I have tried the office. The front door is locked and lights are off.


HE IS STARTING A DIFFERENT SCHOOL MONDAY
