Kiddie Academy

Kiddie Academy of Upper Freehold

Kiddie Academy of Upper Freehold cares about the both the physical and mental health of both my children.  The teachers are always caring, whether lending a listening ear, helpful hand, or joyous smile.  The administrative staff are always welcoming upon walking in the door.  In addition they are always willing to listen to any issues or problems that may occur whether involving my kids or other matters.  The summer camp they offer is an affordable full-day, 5-day per week option that we need.  Our family has been part of Kiddie Academy of Upper Freehold for almost 7 years for good reason. I will be sad when the day comes that my youngest finally ages out of daycare needs.

Our two children have been going to Kiddie Academy of Upper Freehold for over 3 years now. Finding a daycare that you're comfortable leaving your children with is not an easy process. Making sure your kids are getting the best possible care while away from your supervision is something most working parents struggle to find these days. My wife and I know when we drop our children off each morning they are in great hands. Not only can you look into their classrooms throughout the day with an app that gives you access to cameras within the building, but the teachers also send photo's of your children and what they are working on that day. Our peace of mind is only part of the decision. The real proof that this is the place for our kids is the fact that our children love going to school. They enjoy all their friends and love doing all the great projects and lessons each day. Our kids are learning and having fun while doing it. The teachers and staff are wonderful. Any requests or concerns we have had were met with immediate action being taken. In a world with so many choices and tough decisions, this has pleasantly been one of the best we have made for our family. My wife and I would highly recommend Kiddie Academy of Upper Freehold to any family searching for a quality place to send their children.

The administration, teachers and aides at Kiddie Academy of Upper Freehold do an outstanding job in caring for and teaching our children - especially in the middle of a pandemic. My son has grown and learned so much in the past 2 years of attending their Preschool and Pre-K programs. They have great communication with parents through email and their Tadpoles portal, they provide lunch and snacks, the cameras in the classrooms are a bonus, I enjoy receiving pictures of my son throughout the day, the building is secure and very clean, and their educational programs are great. I can’t say enough good things and I’m glad we chose to send our son there.

I could not be happier with a day care center for my Children; no complaints here. The school is kept clean and therefore, our children remain healthy.  The teachers are great with the kids and truly seem to love working here.  Our girls have been attending for a couple of years now and the way the staff has handled COVID-19 is commendable.  There are teachers dedicated to the older kids doing virtual learning, and this has been a life saver for our family.

Such a great educational environment for every age group. My son absolutely loves going there, learning and playing. There are cameras in the classrooms so I can watch him throughout the day which is comforting and an app where photos are posted for you to receive every day doing activities or playing.

Kiddie Academy of Watchung Square

*Ammendment...
After my initial review (below) I was contacted by 9am, the next day by the Director. I was asked if I could come in. I agreed.
Upon arrival both the Director, Ms. Isa and Asst. Director, Ms Aisha greeted me. We discussed at length my concerns and both these women expressed their ability to relate as mothers themselves.
I was allowed to review the video of the day in question and saw that my son was left unattended for less than 1&1/2 hrs but still entirely too long. They agreed.
What has impressed me the most was the prompt response, appearance of concern and professionalism expressed in wanting to rectify a situation that should have never happened.
I was told the Teachers would be spoken to and retrained where necessary (I'm hoping they were).
In summary, because of the way my son and I were quickly taken care of
I have changed my rating and we will continue to attend Kiddie Academy.

(Original) I have my child currently enrolled at Kiddie Academy. This experience is current; it happened just today, 8/31/2023.
I haven't had the opportunity to see how the school will handle as the director and assistant director were already gone for the day but I have had the opportunity to see what is considered qualified as it relates to the teaching staff. So basically my little baby was left in a highchair for well over 1 & 1/2 hours. He wasn't being fed but just locked and trapped inside of it for what could only be assumed was to be kept out of the way so he wouldn't be an inconvenience to the leader of this classroom (Ms. Trinity) that continued to walk passed him cleaning and handling the other babies as if he simply wasn't there.
Kiddie Academy does provide video but they do not provide sound to the video so I could see my son crying and wriggling around in discomfort but i couldn't hear if she was saying anything to him.
Once I realized how long he had been sitting there and I could see his discomfort I jumped in my car and headed there (I wanted to more so see them organically than call ahead). Just before I arrived Ms. Mary, the teacher my son is drawn to and who I believe was not before in the room (there was someone else in the room, sitting out of view and while I'm not 100% sure I don't think it was her) removed him from the chair and began changing his clothes.
When I arrived I was told that he was  spitting out his food so it got all over him. Ok...so he was being a baby (not even yet 1) and was left in his wet dirty clothes for what seemed like almost 2 hrs to me (I was on my computer and would check in on camera occasionally).
When I confronted Ms. Trinity she said when the babies do something like that she usually let's them sit for 5 minutes. 5 WHAT??? He had been sitting there and sitting there and sitting there and NO ONE checked on him or helped him.
This does not end here and I hope that Kiddie Academy regains my trust
I will additionally say, in roughly the 3 months that my son has been attending this school, that after his adjustment period of getting used to this new situation every time I put him in Ms. Trinity's arms he screams his head off. When I put him in the assistant teachers arms Ms. Mary (the person to me that seems to have a true natural ability with these babies and who should, if anyone be the head teacher) he is completely quiet and at peace (I've even mentioned to Ms. Mary that I noticed that he flocks to her - she remembers I'm sure).
When I expressed my concern to Ms. Trinity over the time she left my son in that highchair she simply said,  "well I don't keep track".
These people log every meal, every diaper change and poop, take pictures from the day and let me know if he napped.
I call bullsh*t!
To the Director,  Ms. Isa and Assistant Director, Ms. Aisha (and the Owner, if you get a moment to read this) I wish you a wonderful labor day weekend and I will be looking forward to speaking with you next Tuesday morning on the above matter and how hopefully you can ensure nothing of its kind ever happens again to my child or to anyone elses.

Sincerely,

Keela Walker

I just wanted to write a review onAthe Kiddie Academy of Watchung …..  i have had my child enrolled in the kiddie academy for about 5months now and i have to say i have yet to have a complaint …..They are attentative and very hands on with the children …… I have sat back and watched  the cameras that are provided  for parents to watch and i see my child is well taken care of along with others ….  Feeding time is pretty much on time which  I understand when in a room with other children and different feeding adjustments and habits …… I just want to say if this keeps up my other children going forward will definitley be enrolled … I am very happy with my childs staff  and the Kiddie academy …. Lets keep up the good work …  Ty and see ya later to get my little guy !!!!

This daycare is amazing! The staff is extremely friendly and professional. All three of my kids attended Kiddie academy. Two of them who are still at the school look forward to going there every day.

For the parents whose kids are new to daycare/school, you need not worry, for your kids will be safe and secure there. Kids who may be apprehensive at first will quickly adjust, as the staff will lovingly reassure them every day.

It’s a relief to me as a mother to know that when I drop them off every morning- they will be well taken care of & Of course the best PRO is you can login live and check up on your little ones all day!

The director Isa is so focused and appreciative of each child’s well being & each parents peace of mind! If I could give this place 10 stars I would!!

Both of my daughters have been attending Kiddie Academy since they were a little over one year old (they are 3 and 4 now) I must say since I learned about this school, it has been nothing but an amazing experience for both my kids and I. I would like to thank Ms. Isa for being so helpful when it came to finding the right class/teacher for my children. The tour she gave us when we first stopped in was nothing but amazing!!  Also, I can not forget to mention about the curriculum being the best. My kids learn so much and are way more focused now when it comes to their school work. I can definitely see the difference throughout the years. I just absolutely love this school and the staff! Thank you Kiddie Academy.

My family is so happy we chose this place as a daycare. We get pictures and updates throughout the day and our child is always having fun, learning new things and comfortable with the teachers.

British Swim School of LA Fitness - North Brunswick

British Swim School at 24 Hour Fitness - Piscataway

I enjoyed the learning experience. Trainers have been awesome. Although there have been multiple trainers, all of them helped me with their unique style of teaching and techniques to get a grasp of various strokes. They even went far to teach me Butterfly stroke and underwater swimming.
A suggestion to learners - It would help you to learn quicker if you choose 2 days a week over one day a week. That’s my personal experience.
Once again thank you British Swim School @ 24 hour Fitness, Piscataway

Kiddie Academy of Monroe

I enrolled my daughter at this daycare for the infant room.  All of the teachers in the school were great, but Ms. Amanda was the primary teacher in the infant room and she is wonderful!  The room is kept very clean and safe.  I always felt welcome and the communication about my daughter was very open.  I really felt like Ms. Amanda got to know my daughter very well and treated her with individual, specialized care.  I would highly recommend this daycare!

We enrolled our 2 year old daughter here this past September and we are so happy to be a part of this day care. All of the staff members of this establishment are pleasant and wonderful. Very professional. The classrooms are clean and it is a very safe place. We checked out 5 other day cares before we chose this one and it's because the director is such a wonderful woman.  Thank you Sonica, and everyone at the kiddie academy!

Kiddie Academy in Monroe is the best daycare center in NJ. The facility is immaculately clean, the staff are all professionals, and the owner Sonica clearly cares about the kids, as if they were her own.  I would definitely recommend anyone to enroll their kids in this school to promote their kids growth.

I enrolled my daughter today at the Kiddie Academy and Sonica was very pleasant to work with. Actually everyone in the facility was very nice. I wasn’t ready to enroll today, but as soon as my wife and I saw this facility. We immediately enrolled her.

Overall very fancy and organized!!

KA of Monroe is a wonderful place. Sonica and the staff are attentive, responsive, and kind. I feel they truly care for my son. My child feels so at home here - thank you KA of Monroe

Safari Kid - Newark

Both my daughters go to Safari kid for after school day care. We are extremely happy with the experience. The teachers are great and very responsive to our feedback, esp. when we needed some adjustments. They organize inter safari kid events and lot effort is put into prepping the kids to compete in the events.

Highly recommend.

We moved to Fremont last year. Since then my son is going to Safari kids for  slmost a year now. When he started school at the age of 3, he had lots of problem adjusting in the new environment and had strong seperation anxiety. He had daycare and school failures. I was very nervous. But Safari kids was a wonderful experience. The staff is amazingly patient, kind and loving. My son liked the school and started enjoying. He has lot of fun in school. I am very thankful to all the teachers.
love you SAFARI KIDS

Finding the right pre-school can be a challenge, Safari kids was our 3rd school in less than 7 months, but from the first day on my son relaxed and I could see that the teachers had an incredible level of understanding, caring, and control of their classrooms. The teachers are always energetic and patient, and most importantly they believe and encourage my son, so his confidence has increased too. In less than two months his vocabulary of just a few words blossomed, and he really enjoys the public speaking opportunities. Thank you Safari Kid in Newark.

We are very pleased with putting our daughter to this Safari kid! All teachers here are caring and loving. They will listen to your requests and concern. Twice a year parents teacher conference hep you analyze your child’s progress. My daughters socializing skills have been improved. Her public speaking has improved as well. She has wide vocabulary at age 4. School celebrates all festivals and public occasions of different region , which teaches our child to respect and learn more about different cultures!
In the end I would like to say Miss Aparna, Regional director, she is really good at her job. She is always in touch with other parents. Director of the facility Miss Kshama is always smiling and welcoming to kids and parents.
I would like to say Big Thank you to My DD Class teacher Miss Usha. She knows how to tackle each child with their personalities. My Daughter loves all her teachers.

I am a very happy parent of a very happy child. My son loves coming to school and I see a healthy overall development in him. Keep up the good work :-)

Safari Kid - Union City

If I could give a 100 stars to Safari Kid-Union City, I would. This was my little one's first school, and you know it's an amazing place when your child is super excited to go back to school the second day of school. That definitely is a big win. What we love is the amazing staff with so much heart and caring mindset. The teachers really make an effort to engage the kids and develop them in a very individualised way. Safari Kid is really committed to providing a safe, fun, and loving environment and we’re very thankful to the whole team. A special shout out to Ms. Maliha and Ms. Sarvani for all the support and care they've provided.

I received a flyer from safari kid in my mail. Called UC safari kid and spoke to Nima making an appointment to switch my daughters day care. I couldn’t be any more happier making this decision. My daughter has already settled down for her first week being at Safari Kid. The Teachers and stuff made her very comfortable settling her in her new environment. I had received pics of her progress and how she was doing during the day. The stuff is very friendly and helpful. I m already telling about this facility to all my friends.

My  son is part of Safari kids , union city preschool since he was 4 years old. He is happy, energetic and keeping up developmentally.

They accept parent feedback and take appropriate steps in the interest of the child . The director, is a friendly, capable lady. I recommend this place to all parents who want to enroll their little ones.

My son is sooo happy to be in school and that makes me a happy parent. He is safe and is learning something new everyday. With the kind of energy he has , Safari Kid is channeling it in the most creative and productive way I would have hoped for.

my son enrolled there since last 3 months and we are happy. my son improved a lot.

Kiddie Academy of Florham Park

We love kiddie academy! Our daughter began at 18 months and had separation anxiety for the first few weeks - the kiddie team was awesome and worked to decline a routine with her that involved not only the admins but other support teachers too. She loves going there and we have nothing but awesome things to say about the teachers and staff - they are awesome at communication and give a lot of photos/notes everyday on the app so you get a glimpse into your kids daily life while at “school” :)

If families are looking to enroll their children at Kiddie Academy Of Florham Park I strongly recommend it. The school is Fantastic! The teachers are professional, caring, and well organized. They really care and truly want the best for your child. Miss Demi and Miss Celine are patient and answer any questions during the admissions process. They are very attentive and ready to assist when needed. Every day my son was looking forward to coming to school. He very much enjoyed his time in school and learning about new things. He also participated in a variety of activities and events and enjoyed it with both his teacher Miss Emily and his peers. When it came time to transition to a new classroom the new teacher would always assist and offer extra guidance. If a new policy or event happened in the school I would be notified and informed ahead of time. Enrolling my son in the school was a wonderful decision and we both will have lovely memories of the time he spent there.

Kiddie Academy of Floram Park is a trusted and caring day care that one can find in the neighborhood. All the teachers are extremely patient interacting with the children. The center director and assistant director are very passionate about taking extra attention to the details. They made the classroom a second home for my daughter to nurture beautifully!!!

Kiddie Academy Florham park is the daycare with a lot love and care. My daughter Viki started her first year at 2.5 years old. The teacher Miss Amisha and Miss Emily pad her to sleep and always hug her. She feel very safe and happy here. They have breakfast and lunch and another afternoon snack included which gives us peaceful mind. Other than that, they have live cam which you can see your child activities , eating, playing and sleeping real-time. Their skills learning and characteristics developing is the best. There is a daily report to record all of their activities and projects including what they eat during the day and how much. This is truly a best daycare I would recommend to any l body.

Short story: thank God my wife picked this place!  Long story: Our daughter was 2 when we moved from PA to NJ, so like most, my wife and I had a lot of anxiety in selecting a new daycare.  We also have a 5 year old girl who had been through a few day care centers in PA.  What we've found is it's not always the facility that makes the place, but the management and the staff that ultimately determine your child's well-being.  I'm happy to say for all of the worries about what could go wrong, our 2 year old  has really flourished at this Kiddie Academy.  The staff is super positive and supportive, and it shows with the kids.  We get constant updates, live video feed (which is new for us), and personalized treatment from management.  They also have different on-site programs (music, athletics) which aid in their development.  And the facilities are great.  We left a great preschool in PA, but feel like we're making really positive experiences here as well.

Safari Kid

Safari kid is a wonderful school. My daughter has been going there almost for a year. As she has come from another country, her English speaking was a bit poor. She has improved a lot. She loves all the teachers and misses Safari kid when she is absent. It is a family friendly atmosphere. Safari kid feels like home. The management is great. Ms Vidya is very loving, caring and kind. She is attentive to everyone and everything and manages very skillfully.I am happy to see that Safari kid has the latest research based curriculum.I strongly recommend Safari kid to every parent.

My son joined this school when he was 2.5 years and stayed there for almost 1.5 years. He practically grew up there. He was little delayed in his speaking skills before joining the school. Upon joining we could literally see the development within 3 months as he started to use words along with actions and communicate with us. This got developed into using words as a sentence, our friends were able to see this drastic change and his basic everyday practice of cleanliness etc. Their curriculum is really good and matches with the current trend. Ms.Vidya had been our guide throughout this time with regular feedback and sharing the progress of his development. Ms.Sumi played a vital role in his development and my kid was so fond of her. She is exceptional with kids. Due to unfortunate plans we had to pull him out, otherwise he would have continued there till his Pre-K graduation.

My kid attended the school for almost 10 months for Pre K and TK program. She loves going to school. Her teachers are very helpful and encouraging and the academic program is great that helped my kid to gain confidence in her learning abilities and we are very happy with the service. Safari kid  is more affordable than any other private school.

Title: A Fantastic After-School Program for Your Child

Review:

I am thrilled to share my experience with the after-school program at Safari Kid. As a parent, I understand the importance of finding the right environment for our children to thrive in, and I can confidently say that this program exceeded my expectations in every way.

From the moment my daughter and son joined the Preschool and after-school program, I noticed a positive change in their overall development. The program's well-structured curriculum not only provided a safe and nurturing environment but also offered a variety of enriching activities tailored to their interests and needs.

The dedicated staff at Safari Kid truly goes above and beyond to create a warm and inclusive atmosphere. They have a genuine passion for working with children and foster a sense of community and friendship among the participants. It's heartwarming to witness my children’s growing social skills and the strong bonds they have formed with both peers and mentors.

One of the aspects I appreciate most about this program is the range of activities available. Whether it's arts and crafts, Montessori, or creative play, my kids constantly engaged in exciting and educational endeavors. The program strikes a perfect balance between structured activities and free play, allowing children to explore their interests while also developing essential life skills such as teamwork, problem-solving, and time management.

Additionally, I am impressed by the program's commitment to academic support. The staff provides valuable homework assistance and encourages a love for learning. My kids confidence in their academic abilities has noticeably improved, and has shown great progress in various subjects.

The communication between the program staff and parents is excellent. Regular updates, progress reports, and opportunities to discuss my children development have given me peace of mind and allowed me to actively participate in his journey.

Lastly, I must highlight the program's commitment to safety. Safari kid ensures a secure environment through strict supervision, well-maintained facilities, and adherence to all necessary health and safety protocols. As a parent, this has been of utmost importance to me, and I am grateful for the program's unwavering dedication in this regard.

In conclusion, I wholeheartedly recommend Safari kid to any parent seeking a nurturing, enriching, and well-rounded after-school experience for their child. The program's exceptional staff, diverse activities, academic support, and commitment to safety make it a standout choice. Seeing my kid’s growth and happiness, I can confidently say that enrolling them in this program has been one of the best decisions I have made as a parent.

Thank you, Safari kid for providing such a fantastic experience for my child!

Warm regards,
Elsabieth E.

My son has been going to Safari Kid preschool in Santa Clara for last 4 months. We have seen a good improvement in my child's daily activities, communication and academics. MS Vidya shares the feedback and progress on regular basis and asks parents back the feedback on how the teachers are doing, and what areas the parents expect their kid to be focused on. She understands, it is very important to share and receive feedback.
