Kiddie Academy of Birmingham

Concerned about the below 1 Star from the below review from Mason Brown who went "here" in 2008. This Kiddie Academy did not open until September of 2018. We've been at KW since it January of 2019 and, for the most part, have had a very positive interaction. There has been a lot of turn over since Covid, but every other daycare is facing the same challenges. If you actually attended here and had a bad experience fine, but please don't bring them down if you actually have nothing to do with them.

Worst child care experience ever. Do not send your children here. Our youngest child was having some separation issues due to being in a new place and was biting. Our child was suspended without warning for a week. When asked what they do in class with 1 year olds that are biting they said they just tell them to stop. Even though there seemed to be a pattern they couldn’t identify when or why my child was biting. After returning to Kiddie Academy, was suspended again 2 weeks later for the same reason. Was told too many parents had been complaining about him biting and were threatening to pull their children out. Was denied a meeting with the owner to come up with a plan and then was told in a very unprofessional email that my child was not allowed to come back. This was less than 2 months of us starting there. We switched to Primrose of Meadowbrook and have not had any issues and they are so kind and work with the kids who are having issues. At Kiddie Academy the  meals times were very inconsistent and they also had very high teacher turnover which also caused our child anxiety. Several former teachers from Kiddie Academy have been hired on at Primrose and we love them. Found out later from a friend that the director of Kiddie Academy had been abruptly let go from another daycare that they were at due to undisclosed reasons. So glad to be gone from there even if it wasn’t our choice.

My child was not taken care of compared to the other daycares that she had been in. Bite marks, sickness, and the teacher to student ratio is bad. My kid would watch youtube all day. That’s their curriculum... YouTube. They are so unprofessional and only care about money. Please don’t let your little ones endure the suffering like ours did. I hate our kid went here. This place needs to be out of business. They do not know how to run a daycare or care for their customer. I think the owner needs to let this pipe dream go before someone gets smart and sues.

Please please do not take your children to this daycare!! They will tell you that they don’t have any spots available and that there is a holding fee of $150 to hold the spot for your child, but then when you decide to go with a different daycare because of their lack of communication and professionalism as well as having to wait too long for a spot to become available, the director Jennie will tell you that she never said there was a holding fee and that that’s the registration fee!! Total lie!!! They will not give you your money back!! They are absolutely  horrible!! Poor management, lack of communication, literally lying to parents that come in for tours! I paid the $150 two months ago to “hold a spot for my grandchild” as I was told there were no spots available. I could not continue waiting on a spot and now I’m out $150 for nothing!! Total scam!! Don’t bother communicating with Jordan either because she doesn’t do anything she says she is going to do!! The whole management team is extremely inefficient on their roles!! I would not give any starts if I could!! Worst daycare experience I have ever had in my entire life!!!!!

I went here for daycare as a child. Some of the staff is really nice but their disciplinary actions are questionable. If I misbehaved I was either hit with a ruler or forced to wear a tail and stand in front of the class as a humiliation tactic. Then again this was 2008.

British Swim School of South Lyon

From all the swimming schools I have taken my children to, British Swim School is definitively the best one of them. All the employees are friendly and truly care about each child they are teaching. They have small classes and a very clean facility. Even the children who are afraid of water feel comfortable in the pool after a few lessons!

My 6 year old has been attending British Swim in South Lyon for almost 4 months or so now. She has gained so much confidence since starting classes there! Not just confidence while in the water but every instructor she's worked with has been extremely encouraging and helpful. She looks forward to her class every week and we look forward to watching her improve and enjoy herself with the staff and fellow swimmers.

British Swim School of South Lyon is a great place where my children had learned many skills on how to swim and surivive. We havr have so much fun. All staff are great and always ready  to help  in any way we need. We love this place!!!

My children are learning so much at British Swim and they are excited to go to class! My daughter has been going for a month, she had a severe fear of water, she now loves the water and can swim independently the confidence she has gained in these few weeks has been incredible, highly recommend British Swim south lyon.

We love the British Swim School. They are great at answering questions I have. I love that my little one is learning about water safety and the instructors are interacting with them at their level.

British Swim School at Holiday Inn Express - Wixom

Great group of people.  Positive, caring, and attentive.  We always look forward to our lessons.  Even in a class with other kids, the guidance feels custom-geared and the approach is tailored to my child's needs and attitude.   They're great at encouragement and lifting kids up to be proud of their progress.

School Of Rock Chattanooga

I started coming here when I was 11, learning drums and guitar, and practicing and performing with other kids in the community at the time. I stayed until I was 17 and ever since I have not been able to find such a tight-knit community building business. This place allowed me to learn to express myself through music and interact with other people, and for that I am incredibly thankful. I hope you are doing well Mark!

Told my son "shut your  face". This place doesn't even get 1 star. You can't talk to a 7 year old child that way. Very disappointed

Sand Rock High School

Great education system; small and friendly head start - 12th

God place to play a basketball game. The crowd is always excited.

British Swim School at Holiday Inn Express & Suites Chattanooga - East Ridge

Both of my kids have been attending the British Swim school for about two months now. My oldest has learned so much in such a short amount of time. Each class she becomes more and more confident in the water. We had to take my son out due to his health and Raymond was very accommodating which was a relief. The staff is friendly, very knowledgeable and overall has been a pleasure to work with. Thank you all!

My son waits every week to go to British swim school. He love swimming and he enjoys the way teachers are making it easy for him .  Teachers are fun loving and easy going. It is very convenient to cancel or reschedule any class. My son is learning new skills in his every class. I really see him growing in his skills in very limited time . I would definitely recommend British swim school.

Both of my boys attended British Swim School this summer, and I’m so glad we did! Staff were exceptional. My 6-year-old went in barely being able to keep himself afloat and finished with great foundational skills of swimming and safety. The school has been great to work with.

Both our girls attend British swim school. All of the staff is nice and friendly for kids. What we like most about British swim school is progression according to skills. We don't have to wait for certain period of time to get into next level. Overall kids love to go there and enjoy learning with them. We would certainly recommend it to everyone who wants to learn swimming.

My baby started his classes when he was 5 months old, He is hte HAPPIEST BOY in the word. Everytime we get to the pool he jumps with excitement. His instructor are so nice and always taking care of him. At his 8 months he is very confident being in the water even without me. BEST PLACE EVER.

British Swim School of NW Detroit - Doubletree by Hilton

My highest recommendations! British Swim School teaches my kids to be safe on the water and I see significant progress in their swimming skills. We are previously gone to Goldfish and private teacher without success. O.C.

I really had a fun and supportive experience at British Swim School. All of the instructors were excellent teachers! I definitely learned some life-saving skills and looking forward to continuing.

Great instructors! Patient instructors! Todd and Chris are amazing. Extremely patient and helpful. I'm amazed how far I have progressed from not being able to float at all to actually swimming. I absolutely recommend British School  for swim lessons

The entire staff is amazing. Everyone is kind and patient. The team provides positive feedback and caters to the needs of the individual student. As a result I remained engaged, encouraged, and motivated. Within a few short lessons I made great progress. I'd recommend BSS to anyone wishing to learn to swim.

My daughter did not like shower/bath water to splash in her face. I was quite nervous as to what her reaction would be. Her very first class, Ms. Chris had her practicing floating as well as jumping in, and she loved it! She could hardly go to sleep from retelling all the fun moments she had. The entire team is so great. Any instructor is a pleasure to watch teach my daughter to navigate water safely...and while having FUN!

School of Rock Northshore

All 3 of my kids take lessons at School of Rock in Mandeville - they love it. It's the one activity they look forward to every single week. My 9 year old studies vocals, 8 year old on piano, 7 year old on drums! They learn songs first and foremost, so they feel great about their progress, of course they are learning music theory and how to read music too. Their confidence is growing, they are learning to work as a team in the band rehearsals. It's an awesome community and the instructors are fantastic.

One of the best music schools in the world. That's not an overstatement.

School of Rock

The facility and instructors are awesome! My 9 year old loves it here.

Don't be fooled by the older good reviews, the owner changed in the summer of 2021.  Chris, the new owner/manager's tactics and decisions are questionable.  We moved to Axis music academy in West Bloomfield and we are having a much better time with better quality gigs and management.

Watching my son have a hobby that he not only enjoys but is truly good at is the most amazing thing to experience.  He has so much confidence and I love that he has grown so much in almost 3 years of playing.  I would also like to say that the shows and venues are such a great opportunity for the kids and the school to showcase talent and hopefully recruit new rock stars!

Not all kids programming is created equally. I continue to be so impressed. Everything from Caitlin at the front desk (she literally makes every kiddo feel welcome and special in a laid back cool way) to the amazing instructors (Joey is outstanding at being shy kids out of their comfort zone) to the owner who really has a vision. I feel lucky to have such a great music resource in our community!

Working with each individual student's needs and goals is the best way I can think of to handle lesson programs, and that's exactly what I get at School of Rock! The staff are all awesome at the Farmington location, and they actively encourage everyone to keep playing, keep singing, and rock on!
