    This review is way overdue. 2 of my kids have attended Kiddie Academy and i would highly recommend to parents looking for a place where their children will be safe, happy and learn. The teachers and all the staff are great. The food is good and the classrooms are always kept clean and in very good conditions. Enian's teachers Miss Olfa and Miss Ashley were great and always did a great job. Also Miss Ronnie was always nice and very attentive. Enian and us will miss you guys all!

    We have had such a wonderful experience at this daycare in just one month! From the very first day, everyone has made our family feel welcomed, and it's clear how much love and dedication goes into caring for the children.<br><br>A huge thank you to Ms. Aracelis and Ms. Heidy for creating such a warm, nurturing, and engaging environment. They are patient, attentive, and genuinely care about each child. Our daughter has grown so much socially and developmentally under their care, and she is always excited to go to daycare each morning.<br><br>We also want to recognize Ms. Lianet, the evening teacher, who is incredibly kind and caring. One day when our daughter wasn't feeling well, Ms. Lianet showed her so much love, comfort, and tenderness while waiting for us to arrive. Knowing our daughter was cared for with such compassion during a difficult moment meant the world to us, and it's something we'll never forget.<br><br>A special thank you as well to the director, Ms. Ronnie. She is abso

    We had a top notch experience with Kiddie Academy or Rutherford. We enrolled our kids to start in September, but unfortunately had to cancel our enrollment due to an upcoming move.<br><br>Right from the start, the Center Director, Ronnie, was incredibly helpful, welcoming, and understanding throughout the entire process. We were also very impressed with the facility and felt confident that our kids would have been in great hands with the team there.<br><br>We're genuinely disappointed that our kids won't get the opportunity to attend and enjoy everything Kiddie Academy has to offer. Based on our experience, we would absolutely recommend this center to other families!

    We've had a wonderful experience at Kiddie Academy. The teachers are kind, caring, and genuinely invested in the kids. Our son is always happy to go each morning, and it's been so nice to see how much he's learned and grown since starting. Ms. Ronnie, the director, is always professional, personable, and incredibly helpful, which makes a big difference. We really appreciate the communication, the welcoming environment, and the care they show every day. We're so glad we chose Kiddie Academy!

    Our daughter has been enrolled in Kiddie Academy for several months now. After a negative experience at another daycare, we were worried about finding the right fit. However, Kiddie has been excellent.<br><br>Ms. Ronnie is the head teacher and is very responsive to questions, etc. and always willing to meet in person or have a quick call. She is always willing to address concerns and find solutions for them. Ms. Jessie is also a very helpful resource and a very warm person, especially on the days where Ms. Ronnie has been tied up or out of the office,<br><br>Ms. Destiny and Ms. Joice are teachers for our daughter's class. After only a week, our daughter warmed up to them and started actively seeking them out when she got to school. They are warm, friendly, and care very much for all the kids in the class. They're enthusiastic and energetic. We've also had positive experiences with floater teachers on days where a substitute is needed.<br><br>The school itself is clean, well-lit, has a

    My children attend the school, and I can only express my gratitude and praise for all the care they receive, especially from the principal, Ronnie, who always attends to my needs and resolves everything with great patience and attention. I needed a lot of support regarding my children's adaptation, and she knew exactly how to handle it. Today I am very happy and I know they are in a wonderful place, and they love it!!!
