Kiddie Academy of Lakewood Ranch

I have my two now three year old at Kiddie Academy and we couldn't be happier with this school. We love our teacher Mr. Jeff and the director is so helpful and makes you feel at home. My son comes home talking about all the interesting activities he has done during the day and they definitely work with the parents and children with anything you may need

Absolute best school! Having switched for a month (for purpose of shortening drive time) I quickly learned Kiddie Academy is one-of-a-kind and well worth every penny! Staff and teachers truly care about the kids and treat them all as individuals; recognizing different learning styles and embracing all personality types! Both kiddos have learned so much in their time there! Most definitely not just a “day care.” Would not send my children anywhere else!! (Also, major improvement since new owners!)

We have trusted our child to the care of KA for the last 1.5 years. For the most part, we have been very happy with the care our child has received. Any issues we did have, we brought up with the Director and she promptly and swiftly did her best to address our concerns. We feel that our voices are heard at KA and that the director, front-desk staff members, and teachers really do care about our child and about our concerns and take them seriously. The quality of teachers have gotten better most recently as there appears to be less turnover. We are seeing more stability in the teachers and more experienced teachers are being hired. Although, KA did go through a bit of a rough patch last year with turnovers and difficulty finding quality teachers, we really feel that KA has made great progress. We appreciate all of the efforts the new owners have put in to make the center look more modern and fresh with the fresh paint, new toys and furniture, and soon, new playground. Lastly, and most importantly, our son looks forward to going to KA everyday. He loves his teacher and his friends. He's happy and giddy as he walks down the hall to his class, and all the teachers know and love him as well. We would highly recommend KA to anyone looking for quality childcare for their children!

I cannot say enough good things about the teachers in the Parrot and Turtle classes. They are so amazing with the children. Especially, Mrs. Mari. We are so lucky to have our son in this school.

My daughter has been attending Kiddie Academy of Lakewood Ranch since 2019. She started in the infant room and is now in the two year old room. Since Kiddie Academy is nationally accredited by NAEYC, the lower student to teacher ratio in the two year old classroom gives myself, as a parent piece of mind that my daughter is able to be with her teachers more on a personal level. The cameras in the classroom are another favorite amenity of mine and my husband. Having a two door security system and checking ID’s at the door is a security feature that is priceless. Kiddie Academy has gone above and beyond when it comes to questions or concerns that I have had throughout our time here. I encourage everyone to check out Kiddie Academy as they have never let me down.
