Kiddie Academy of Urbana

I wholeheartedly endorse Kiddie Academy to all parents seeking an exceptional preschool. As a parent deeply invested in my child’s wellbeing, I prioritize aspects such as food quality, safety, cleanliness, nurturing teachers, and a secure environment. Kiddie Academy impeccably delivers on all fronts, offering a comprehensive and outstanding experience.

The culinary offerings stand out for their emphasis on health and freshness. With a menu centered around pure vegetarian, freshly cooked meals, my child’s health has noticeably improved. The thoughtful consideration for allergies and preferences, along with the inclusion of nutritious elements like fresh vegetables, fruits, main courses, and milk, has contributed to my child’s holistic growth—both physically and mentally.

The commitment to cleanliness is evident through the meticulous daily sanitization of classrooms and toys using bleach. This proactive approach to germ prevention ensures a pristine and safe atmosphere for the children.

The teachers’ proactive efforts in keeping the children engaged while maintaining an incident-free environment is truly commendable. Remarkably, throughout the past year, there have been no incident reports for my child , a testament to their dedication to ensuring a safe and secure space.

The empathetic and skilled teachers, thoughtfully selected by the management, play a pivotal role in fostering a positive learning environment for the children.

The administrative team’s warm and welcoming interactions with the children foster a sense of familiarity and security, essential for young minds to thrive.

Kiddie Academy encompasses everything a parent seeks in a preschool. I’m genuinely grateful for the holistic and enriching experience they provide to my child.

The admin and staff are all wonderful. They welcome our family in and make our daughter feel comfortable and excited to go to school! The administration is very responsive and helpful. They listen and they care. Our daughter's teachers have been the best! Miss Taylor and Miss Autumn really put a lot of effort in with the children and you can tell that they enjoy their time with them. My husband and I would definitely recommend Kiddie Academy of Urbana!

If you’re looking for ineffective, inefficient, and inadequate “teachers” with zero regard for basic hygiene then look no further than Kiddie Academy of Urbana! At Kiddie Academy it’s plainly obvious that daycare employers are scraping the bottom of the barrel for employees. The saving grace for this daycare are the cameras in the classrooms, but don’t be fooled, you should watch them as much as possible. The “teachers” that don’t have children of their own are the absolute worst.

Bottom line: don’t send your child here until he/she is able to walk and talk.

Our daughter has only been with Kiddie Academy for a short time, but we absolutely adore their  program. The teachers are wonderful, and send numerous pictures daily. We’re able to check-in on her daily by using the daycare cameras, and the kiddos are constantly busy. The teachers appear to be engaging with the kids on a regular basis, and offer comfort frequently. The tuition rate is high, but justifiable. The weekly menu is unique, and we like how their selections expose our daughter to various types of food!

Update as of May 12, 2021:

Our family is still with Kiddie Academy! Since our last review we’ve enrolled our two older boys with a total of three kids attending. Each of our children enjoy going every morning and love their teachers. Our middle son is typically apprehensive about meeting new people, but his first teacher, Ms. Tanya, won him over! He always runs to give her a hug.

Our oldest son has had the opportunity to make friends, and his teacher does very well teaching/ enforcing boundaries, manners, and academics.

Our daughter is still doing well in her class! I can tell that they still engage with her frequently. She comes home singing numerous songs, is beginning to recognize shapes/letters, and has improved greatly with her fine/gross motor skills.

The teachers are so very kind and love the kids. You can see why they’re in the profession they’re in. They’re open about the children’s strengths and what they need to work on. The instructors work closely with parents to set a plan for success, may it be something such as working on sharing or potty training. Their food they make is phenomenal - love they incorporate all the different foods for kids to try - and healthy. Our child will scrape the plate clean no matter what they serve; can’t say the same thing at home - we clearly need to take some cooking lessons with Khalida to improve our skills. Overall, we are so happy we joined to the KAU family.

Kiddie Academy of New Market

I have a 6 month old Ridley and we live near by so we picked Kiddie Academy. We are so lucky we did our sons teacher is Mrs. Lauren and she is phenomenal. She's so attentive and caring I can literally see his progress every day. She is amazing! I'm actually sad that he'll eventually grow and not be in her class. She's amazing and the type of person you feel secure watching your newborn. I definitely recommend this place and if your child gets Mrs. Lauren you will be very happy! She's the best!!!

We moved to the area recently and finding a great daycare for our daughter was a huge priority. She is always happy and loves going to school. She learns so much from her teachers and they are constantly doing fun learning activities. The staff is always very nice and professional. They have done a great job at keeping the kids and families safe with all of the covid precautions. The new leadership staff has been amazing and the communication is great. Even though we are unable to go into the classrooms currently with the precautions, the weekly newsletters, daily details from teachers, and classroom live video all make us feel more comfortable and happy since the communication is open and constant.

I love this place! I tour over 10 child care facilities in the Frederick, MD area and this Kiddie Academy is top notch for supportive administrative staff, educational teachers and support in classrooms, wonderful food menu, and most import cleanness is immaculate. Both of my kids attended and love it.

Kiddie Academy has been absolutely fantastic for our boys since moving out in July of 2020. The current leadership team has been stellar in their communications, handling of the pandemic and all the associated challenges, and overall care and concern for all the students.

We love the curriculum that Kiddie provides; our boys are always so excited to share their learning and activities with us. We love the daily reports and pictures provided. Being able to check in on them with the video app is a nice touch too. The teachers are really caring and invested in the kids and it shows.

We can't imagine a better environment for our guys! Thanks for all you do team!!

Our daughter has been enrolled in Kiddie Academy for a few months now and we love it. Nikki, the director, and Krupesh, the owner, go above and beyond to make sure all of the students are getting the best possible experience at daycare. The facility is brand new and has been very clean from the beginning. My daughter has been in the infant and toddler classrooms and has been comfortable with all of the teachers. Kiddie Academy has an excellent communication system where you get daily updates with pictures. We like that you can access our child's classroom on video at anytime during the day as well. We would definitely recommend Kiddie Academy in New Market.

Kiddie Academy of Reston

Best daycare ever!
My son(4) and daughter(1) both attended this school, and it we had the best experience with them. The staff were great with communicating with us, super friendly, we built great bonds with everyone! Also they are very inclusive and have a lot of activities for the holidays. Shout out to Director Ms.Anne Swift!

Stuff refused to change my son diaper because he poop on the way there. She say it’s my responsibility. They remove her from that class to another class. She cry and try to give me all kind excuses. That she hurt her back can’t carry kids. Another teacher her name was Amina I found her wiping his face, and she say he spit us it’s one thing after another. I was so fed up. The ladies seems like they hate their jobs. Management was trying solve the problem. However, it’s just left bad taste in my mouth.

This is one of the best programs in the Reston area!  Ms. Anne is a compassionate director who listens to parents' concerns and addresses them with care. The communication between the staff and the parents keeps us very happy.  The teachers treat the children as if they were their own. There is a real family feel and we love the cameras.  We couldn't ask for a more dedicated team to care for our children.

We've loved our time at Kiddie Academy and are so grateful that our children had the opportunity to attend, learn, be cared for, and grow there. We rave about Reston KA to our neighbors and friends. =) I can confidently say that our children along with the hundreds of others who have walked/run/skipped through their halls will grow up to be better adults and people b/c of the patience shown and kindness given to them there.

The teachers as well as the administrators are simply outstanding. Beginning with the professionalism of the staff , to their wealth of knowledge and constant availability to consult with parents, the academy is  a complete package when it comes to a truly wonderful childcare experience. This is our son’s first childcare setting experience and we thank our lucky stars for the academy. The adjustment period was not easy, but the staff worked with us daily to help our son transition to the classroom.  He is now so happy to attend school each day. The teachers are devoted to providing a truly nurturing environment. The physical location is wonderful, always clean , bright and inviting. Our family cannot recommend the center enough.

British Swim School at 24 Hour Fitness - Rancho Peñasquitos

I have 3 kids (ages 3, 5, and 8), and they are all doing a great job learning the basics of water safety as well as swimming. The instructors are patient and energized, and we love coming to class every week. It's great to see how quickly my kids want to jump in the water, and in a small group, other students are encouraged by their classmates as well. The app we use to access classes is great, and Jamal who runs the school is super helpful and engaged with the classes. One last thought--it's nice to have a heated pool for the kids. Classes can go year-round which is awesome!

We've been very happy with our experience with British Swim School at the PQ location. Administratively, they are responsive and communicative, and the quality of the lessons has been solid. My son looks forward to his classes, and it's nice to have an indoor location so we don't need to worry about the weather.

British Swim School is the best! My kids love coming here and are always excited for swim lesson. The teachers are all very nice and work well with young kids. They are patient, friendly, and wonderful with kids. My kids have learned so much and are advancing faster than a previous school we used. We love BSS!

Our 3yr old son  had difficulty getting into the water. He would cry nonstop until I get into the water with him or we leave the pool. Jamal and Zoe put it a lot of effort to help my son get out from his separation anxiety.  I tried two other places that provided swim lessons for toddlers but they never put in the effort to help my son get comfortable with the water. The Coach in British Swim School in PQ is amazing. If you want to put you kid in swimming class, I will recommend this place 100%.

This place rocks!  My 4 year old son was afraid of the water and refused to learn how to swim.  The instructors here were so patient and made this a fun activity for him to learn.  He has no problem jumping into the pool after a few lessons here.  You definitely want to check this place out!

The kids love the lessons and show groups here. Got them back into music after quitting the school orchestra. It's way more engaging for them to play music that they love.

This establishment deserves at least 5 million stars. The staff there are so great, they work with you to make sure you are learning and also make sure that all the official stuff like finances and personal situations are worked out.

I would highly recommend Eric as he makes the lessons very fun and interactive. Before I even had my first lesson he suggested that I make a list of songs that I want to learn how to play. I am a few months in having weekly lessons and I am having a blast learning what I would like but also general skills with guitar like power chords and the Pentatonic Scale.

Clearly this place is very popular and for very good reason.  Young or old, whatever instrument you want to learn, I guarantee without a single doubt that it will be a productive and enjoyable experience!

I'm non-pro musician, so this review might be a little biased. That said, I can't tell you enough how awesome this place is.

It inspires kids, my son is excited to the point he practices at home every day. It never happened before with private lessons.

The teachers are very professient in both music skills (I can really appreciate that) and communicating to kids.

Listened to the kids band - I'm impressed. I played in bands and know how much it takes to sound "together".

And last but not least: guitars, ukuleles and comfy couches in lobby, so I can have fun while waiting. Love this place!

Amazing place! If you want your kid to be a rockstar, you need to send them here. They have amazing teachers and a great owner who cares about all the students and what they’re learning and how they’re growing through the program. Can’t recommend it enough! 🎸 🎶

My son takes guitar lessons there. And he loves it.  Its a fun and Positive experience.

School of rock is the best. We have my daughter in a lot of different activities but this one is her favorite. It’s cool seeing her play and learn about all the different instruments at the same time having fun. She always looks forward to going.

Thank you school of rock!!

Excited to have our second day at the school of rock! Everyone seems to be very friendly, we had a very great first day with Uncle “E”… I think his name is Eric. I have four little kiddos and they all seem to be super excited about music right now and I pray they stick with it. Thank you so much for your great program, we can’t wait to see what is in store for their future.

We are enjoying watching our son learn and develop his drum skills.
He enjoys the one on one drum lessons and the performance groups. As parents we enjoy attending the live shows. As a musician myself I applaud the school of rock for their hard work and dedication molding new musicians.

School of Rock has such positive energy, the teachers are patient, encouraging and talented - we love having our daughter learning to play guitar while also learning to play her favorite songs! We highly recommend 😊

Oceanside School of Rock is an exceptional music school, and I am thrilled that my child is participating in their private lessons and performance program. The environment is supportive, and the progress that my child has made in the past year is remarkable. I’ve watched my eight year old go from zero experience, to playing with a band on a real stage within a year. The highlight for him was a workshop with Sum41 drummer Frank Zummo, he talked about it for weeks.
The School of Rock teaching method allows students to dive into playing rock songs while building theory at a slower pace. For younger players, this method seems to keep them excited and engaged much better than my experience in traditional music schools. Students in the performance program aren’t just learning to play music, they are learning what it takes to be a musician. They learn about band rehearsals, gigs, sets, and promotion. The shows take place in professional venues with professional equipment and the students get a true rock star experience. The performance program can be a bit cost prohibitive, but the experience School of Rock provides is well worth it.
The absolute best part of Oside SOR is the staff, everyone is kind, patient and extremely caring with the students. Matt and Nicki do a great job running the office, they are welcoming, helpful and responsive to questions. Every instructor has been extremely knowledgeable and great at working with kids. My kid loves going in to see Jason and always comes out of his lessons excited about what he learned and ready to go home and practice what he has learned. I absolutely recommend Oceanside School of Rock to anyone interested in learning to play music, they have a unique program that will have new students playing songs from the start.

British Swim School of 24 Hour Fitness Fairfax

Don’t ever signup for these classes , I was a student with them then I have to travel for two months for family emergency.and I couldn’t tell them a month before that so I cancelled my classes I don’t get charged for the classes while I’m gone. but I had a whole month of makeups that I have missed and now I’m trying to schedule them and they said I have to become a student again for that . I’m so upset about I don’t want to enrol again with these people and they don’t want to give me my makeups or refund me my money.

Around October 31st, I paid the first month's fee with a credit card, but I requested a refund because the payment was made twice, but it was not processed for a month and the monthly fee was paid
