Kiddie Academy of Sanford-Heathrow

I love this place. The director ALWAYS makes time for my son, the front desk ladies are THE SWEETEST. They greet you and pay attention to your children too. Now here's the biggest part. Mrs. Lauren is the MOST awesome teacher I've encountered. She's very kind and patient and attentive. She will get down in the floor and play with the kids like they are her own. She doesn't pick at the kids for things kids do. I don't have any complaints about her. The lunch lady is my son's best friend. She is very sweet and knows my son by first name.

The staff is great. They are very professional and nice to the children. My daughter looks forward to seeing Amanda the director every morning to show her what outfit she picked for the day. She tells me Amanda is my favorite person. Her teachers are great as well. They are very kind to my daughter.

Both of my children had the pleasure of attending Kiddie Academy under the directorship of Karina Rodriguez. Her commitment to early childhood education and her genuine loving demeanor was felt every time we spoke. From a friendly hello or goodbye at the front desk to speaking about any questions I had, I always knew that she was there to listen and help. My boys don’t warm up easily to people but Karina made an effort to met them at their level, never pushed them and a true connection was made. Her teachers are true professionals. I never worried about my children when they were at Kiddie Academy. They came home happy every day with stories of the fun things they did. My children may have aged out of Kiddie Academy but I enthusiastically recommend the Longwood and Sanford locations to friends and family because of Karina.

My 2 year old was pushed to the ground by a teacher. I happened to catch it all on camera and immediately brought it to the attention of the daycare ever since then Mrs. Karina has been trying to find a way to kick my child out who has been attending since he was 8 weeks old. This daycare does not care about your children.

I am so thankful to not only work, but have my child attend this amazing childcare center. The staff are incredible and truly care about the children in their classrooms…as if they were their own. ❤️ I feel very comfortable dropping off my child each day knowing she is in good hands.
