Kiddie Academy of Honolulu

I love this place. When it comes to daycare for our first-born child, my wife and I searched for a long time to find a place that we both felt was perfect for our child. Here are the reasons why we chose kiddie academy over all the other places we interviewed with and got accepted too. I also put them in our priority in importance, first being the most important. 1. Trust in care. Ronna the director is top notch. She truly loves her business and it shows. If you get a chance to interview with her you should. That alone would probably win you over. She knows the kids and treats them like her own grandkids. When I drop off my son, although shes always moving or doing something, she always tries to make time to give me a little personal chat. And what can I say about Ms. Aiden, We just love her. 2. Admin and enrollment. After sending an email, I got a personal response in 1 hour. Enrollment was a breeze and very military friendly. This place is very new, but the staff figured out how to make it work efficiently. The admin staff, which I believe is the family members, is a well oiled machine. 3. Convenience (pick-up and drop off). The academy is located in town, and I was apprehensive at first, because I am coming from Pearl Harbor. But it takes us about a total of 30 mins (include travel and drop off and pick up). I use the exit 21 on pali, veer left of bishop, and turn right into the garage on Adams. The academy has a deal with the staff that lets you get front end parking in the guest spot and provide you validation when you leave. No need to walk the kid in the rain or wait for parking outside. I never had a problem with picking up the kid early without notice and the staff is very accommodating. 4. Accommodations. The academy is inside with AC and has a huge play room with new toys and furniture. All the toys appear to be Montessori-like toys and the bicycles are all brand new kid friendly toys. I didn’t see any items that were sharp or hazardous or anything else I wouldn’t purchase on my own. Plus, they offer school meals, however, they will serve your meals with the other kids if you provide your own meals, so your kid doesn’t feel left out. And 5, Academics. We enrolled our child when he was 1 1/2. We’ve been here for almost six months and he’s grown so much it makes me a little sad. He acts like a little person, appears to be more alert, and likes going to school. He’s still a little young, but he tries to talk and understands how to interact with kids. That what I really wanted from the academy. I am leaving an unsolicited review about the academy because I like this place. It took me and the wife a long time to find a daycare like this and I wanted to share my positive experiences. If you are interested in daycare, you won’t be disappointed with at least giving a phone call or visiting the kiddie academy website. I also forgot… security. This place is located inside an office building with three lines of security, which includes security guards to monitor the building and locked door access. Also, you get 100% full access to their cameras (which a lot of daycare does not let you have). My kids is safe here.

Highly recommended, it's our frist week me and my 3 years old son have a great experience with them. To be updated.
