Kiddie Academy of Vancouver-Fishers Landing

My oldest daughter has been attending Kiddie Academy since she was four months old. She's now 2.5 and we plan to keep her there until Kindergarten. She has really flourished at Kiddie Academy! She has learned so much and has made really great friends. All of the teachers we have interacted with are absolute saints and seem to really love their job! I highly recommend it for anyone looking for a daycare or preschool for their child.

Our son has had a really hard time adjusting to pre school.  All of the teachers and directors have been so kind, loving, supportive and patient with him while he’s adjusted to the big change! His teachers Ms Jocelyn and Ms Laurel are fantastic and have gone above and beyond to make him feel happy and comfortable in a new environment. We love that we have access to the cameras and get daily reports with what they did and learned during the day along with photos. Having access to the cameras and reports allows us the opportunity to communicate with him about his day, what he ate and what he learned each day. Super happy we chose Kiddie Academy.

My child has attended the school for more than a year now and we are happy to send her this school. All of her teachers and staffs are caring and supportive to our child. We appreciate all of their help and kindness to her!
I highly recommend this childcare center if you’re considering!

I really appreciate all the care of the schools and Daycare with the children, but really Kiddie was not the best for my daughter, I was really disappointed with so many attitudes of the coordination of this school; when I said that I was not comfortable with the attitudes of Ms Marina, to hear from a person who should be at the forefront of any and all concerns of parents that Ms Marina has been at school for a long time, was absurd for me, in which I understood that if I was not comfortable my daughter should withdraw from school and not the teacher... I asked her to watch Ms Marina's video with me and she refused, so she said that she could have a behavior in which she was not correct... my daughter felt excluded, sad, and could only continue at school when an angel by the name of Wendy helped me to transfer classes, remembering that the school's condemnation still refused to seek for the reasons I, as a mother, worried... yes, Ms Marina proves to be rude and very severe with her students , but they are children aged 3, 4 years old… One detail, I was without access to the cameras that we had access to for a few hours, then I could not access them. watch the cameras mom and dad, don't be enchanted by the structure of the school, our children need love and affection instead of the structure of a school facade… here is my assessment of a completely disappointed mother.

The teachers and staff make my son feel like a priority. Wonderful group of educators! The school is also bright and clean! The daily reports and pictures are detailed and fun to reference everyday. I also love that I can peek into the classroom via the parent camera app. We feel so lucky to have our son at Kiddie Acadmey and thank the owners for running such a fantastic program!

Kiddie Academy of Montville

Kiddie academy is an awesome preschool. It has been a year since my child has joined KA, and she has progressed immensely learning from their program. Their staff is helpful and attentive and anticipate my child’s needs. They look out for the kids and teach them appropriate behavior towards each other. Their curriculum has done wonders for my child. Everyday she comes home saying new words, singing new songs and showing me new things she has learned. It really is an educational preschool. They are community driven and are always doing things for the greater good. They offer amazing opportunities for kids, and host fun and inviting events that are well planned and thoughtful. The admin team is wonderful to work with. And the owner Bernie has been more than accommodating for all of my child’s needs. The students and faculty are diverse at this facility which creates a welcoming environment for everyone. I feel confident bringing my child here. I highly recommend this preschool.

Today marks 1 year since my daughter began at Kiddie Academy.. I cannot say enough great things about this place. Bernie, the owner, cares about each child as if they were his own along with his entire staff. My daughter began there at age 1.5 and has excelled beyond my wildest dreams. She has learned to communicate effectively, how to socialize with her peers and to share. She can spell her own name, associate numbers & colors, counts to 10 in English and Spanish, the list goes on. She wakes up excited to see not only her friends but her teachers as well. If you are looking for a loving, fun, safe place to send your children this is the place to go. I am so thankful to have found kiddie academy for my daughter!

Every week is a new educational journey that includes hands on experiences and topics that has fostered a love of learning in my young daughter.  The teachers and staff treat the children like family and the leadership team is the best. They truly care about their families and they do everything they can to create a happy, safe, and loving environment.  As an working parent knows it's not easy to leave your young children in anyone's care but with Kiddie Academy of Montville you are at ease that your child is happy and well cared for while you are away from them.  My family has moved around so we have experience with other centers including Apple Montessori and Bright Horizons.  In my opinion this location of Kiddie Academy is by far the best choice.

Kiddie Academy of Montville is a wonderful, safe place for my son’s learning and development. The owner is compassionate and stays involved; my son’s teachers are all wonderful, and he is enjoying school very much. The classroom and facilities are also very well maintained and clean which was very important to us. Strongly recommend

We have had a great experience at the kiddie academy of montville with our infant from 12 weeks to 1+. The teachers there are very polite and professional, and genuinely enjoy playing with and teaching the kids. They have a great camera setup to watch during the day and provide detailed reports every day. The management, miss Colleen and miss Denise are excellent; courteous and professional. The owner Bernie really cares about all the children there and takes the time to learn their names and the parents too. This facility was easily the most impressive of daycares we toured around Morris county and we would strongly recommend it.

British Swim School of Touchmark Health Club

We love British Swim School! Our 8-year-old LOVES the water, but hasn't taken swim lessons since parent and me classes when she was three, so though she would spend all day in a pool if she could, she was not deep water safe. The way that British Swim School classes are structured, we are loving that being water safe is the top priority. In just under three months she has graduated to the first water safe class (Turtle 2). She's loving the classes and the instructors and she feels a deep sense of accomplishment and pride in how far she's come. She can't wait for swim class every week. Thanks for all you do!

As an adult that experienced a negative event swimming as a child, I never thought I'd learn to swim. The British Swim School is helping me learn, and gain confidence in the water. My instructor is patient and I feel like I'm really learning.

This is the best swimming school in the area! Small class sizes, qualified consistent & supportive instructors, caring owner.  we love how the model is kids passing skills and then graduating to the next class. I’ve had kiddos go through certain levels quickly and other kids needing more time for the front stroke, etc. Highly recommend getting your kids started here.

Love the British Swim School! Wonderful instructors that make the most out of a 30 minute lesson. My baby started when she was 4 months. Now she is 7 months and is very comfortable in the water and working on assisted back floats, dunking, and torpedoes. Very knowledgeable with wonder customer service!

We are so incredibly impressed with the way the classes are structured and the idea behind the swimming lessons. I’ve never been in a class that was to solely teach children how to survive if they fall in the water unexpectedly. It’s brilliant! I grew up taking swimming lessons the traditional way and although it did the job for me, I think my sister would have thrived if she was taught to swim the British Swim School way. I’m currently trying to get her to take classes as a 40year old adult however they don’t offer them in her small town where she lives. Kudos to your program! I can’t say enough positive things about it!
British Swim School at Touchmark in Vancouver is the most wonderful swimming experience for my kids! Jason, the franchisee and also one of the many great instructors takes such great care in teaching my 4 youngest kids ages 2, 4, 7 & 8 years to get comfortable and love the water. I wish I had known about this for my 17 & 15 year old when they were younger. I can’t say enough good things about this program, and I tell my friends and family about the awesome concept all the time. You have a loyal customer!

Kiddie Academy of East Brunswick

We can’t say enough great things about the Kiddie Academy of East Brunswick. It’s not easy to leave your baby in the care of someone else, but the staff here made us so comfortable. We toured multiple daycares, and we knew Kiddie Academy was the best choice for us. It is so apparent that the teachers love and care for the all the kids as if they are their own! Ms. Manal, Ms. Gina and Ms. Liz have taught Lincoln so much, and they are so excited to see him everyday. And the administrative staff is also amazing! Ms. Amanda, Ms. Dana, and Ms. Jess are always up front ready to greet us every morning to start the day. Everyone makes you feel like family. Lincoln loves going to school everyday and has made so many friends! Mom and Dad have too! We would highly recommend Kiddie Academy to anyone who is searching for a daycare. You won’t be disappointed!

Our son has been with Kiddie Academy at East Brunswick for about one and half year. And we have to say we really enjoy here:

First, the academy has an excellent enriched program for the kids to play and learn. We have always been amazed by how much our son learned at the academy like the life cycle of the plant, and of course math & words as well.

Second, the academy has a really caring team. Our son occasionally had troubles of being willing to go and stay at school and may have an emotion breakdown. Whenever that happens, the teachers and stuff have always been there calming him down, cuddling him and making him feel better. They also do a really good job praising how my son is doing which really helps him boost his confidence.

Third, the academy offers lots of activities which we enjoy a lot. This includes fun activities on Mother's Day, Music Party etc.

In general, we would really recommend Kiddie for your beloved little ones.

Thankful to have found wonderful reliable childcare so close to home. My son recently joined the nursery class and it’s been a great experience. His teachers are exactly what I was looking for and the front staff has been very helpful and informative. I highly recommend this daycare for anyone in the area!

In March my husband and I toured Kiddie Academy & enrolled my son after meeting with the then director, Victoria.  What I thought would be a great daycare for my son turned out to be the complete opposite. There were numerous red flags I observed while my son attended Kiddie Academy but I always overlooked them for one reason or another.

Unfortunately due to a limit on how much I can write - I’ll only address what made me immediately withdraw my son from Kiddie Academy.

As a new mom placing my child in daycare, camera access was one of the things I required. I frequently checked in on the app to observe my son throughout the day. When I observed my son, I always felt that the teacher's appeared, for lack of better word "cold." Not only did I observe actions I did not like ( i.e. snatching cups from children, pulling the children's chairs out while they were still eating to get them ready for naps) I frequently observed teacher's being on their phones. I very rarely observed the teachers interacting and engaging the children throughout the day but for short periods of time. For most of the day when I checked in, I observed my son roaming the classroom on his own & I questioned what curriculm was in place.

On July 11, I received a phone call from my son's teacher informing me they were going to "write him up" because he was "being a bully." His teacher stated my son has thrown books at other children & the behavior has been ongoing. I asked his teacher if this behavior was ongoing why it was the first time I was being made aware of it. She then asked me if the front desk staff talked to me about this to which I answered no. His teacher then told me to disregard the write up. Once I hung up with my sons teacher, I immediately contacted the new current director, Tammy to ask how any teacher could refer to a 19 month old as a bully. I also said to Tammy that my son's teacher could have called me at any time to discuss his behavior if it was a problem.  This daycare lacks complete communication skills. When I spoke to Tammy, I told her that I was
not making any excuses for my sons behavior IF in fact he was behaving the way they stated BUT that if her staff spent more time supervising as opposed to being on their cell phones or sitting around then the problem could have been addressed by them before books were thrown.

On July 12, I spent the WHOLE entire day observing my son through the app. Not once did I observe my son to throw any toy at any child.  When I picked up my son from daycare that day, I observed his diaper had not been changed as it was super heavy. (He also had, had a bowel movement.) I reviewed the Tad Poles daily report and my son's last diaper change was noted to be 11:42am.
My son napped until approximately 3:45pm that day and I picked him up at 5:27pm. On the following day I asked to speak to Tammy who I was informed was not in. I wanted to address the diaper situation with her in person but asked to have her call me. Coincidentally, that morning I received an updated daily report on the Tadpole app which stated my son had a diaper
change at 4:13pm which was a complete lie. When I was finally able to speak to Tammy I asked that she view camera footage to see when in fact my sons diaper was last changed and she said she could not.   It was then that I informed Tammy that this would be
my son's last day at this daycare.

In the short period of time my son attended there (April -July) Tammy was the 3rd director. We also weren't contacted on one occasion when my son had a high fever of 103 and was told he appeared fine when I called and questioned them.

I have a list of other complaints I can make but overall, personally, this daycare lacks MANAGEMENT and communication. I have since enrolled my son in another daycare and am seeing a whole new child.

The only thing I can say is to go with your gut feeling. I wish I would have and dis-enrolled my son from this daycare much sooner.

This is by the far the WORST child care in East Brunswick.
They are so unorganized. There is no structure for the children!!
The teachers lack common kindness and education.
Teachers quick left to right. The “director” is about 30 years old who knows nothing of running a child care facility, who has no children of her own to even begin to understand a parents point of view. The teachers yell at children, even curse. I had an incident where a teacher physically put hands on my son and the state was called. She was reported and STILL works there.
PARENT TO PARENT: this would be the biggest mistake you make enrolling your children here. In additional this school does not provide any educational learning structure although they claim to.

Safari Kid Hayward

I love the staff at this school! They are attentive and caring. My children have had a  positive experiences here. For me, safety is number 1. I appreciate the attention to details, the diversity, and positive staff communication. I notice that the games and activities allow for children to quickly build friendships. I like that Safari Kid knows the importance of hands on learning and movement in education!

I want to start by saying, Thank You! My husband and I are two full time working parents with very limited outside help, The director and her teachers has treated my child as their own! It is a great feeling knowing your child is being properly cared for while you’re at work. My daughter (2 1/2yrs) old is very clingy to me, very spoiled as she is the youngest, so I thought it would take her awhile to adjust, but, to my surprise she absolutely LOVES going to school!!! She say’s “bye mommy” anytime I am dropping her off with a huge smile on her face! This review is long overdue as my child has already been attending for a few months now and she has already advanced to the next level! Thank you for the continue love and care that you all have giving to my child, words cannot express my gratitude!

I have a 3 year old and he is in Pre-K Safari Kids Hayward. It is a diversified school with great teachers who not only looks after toddlers but also works on them individually per the child’s need. Seema who is the owner/director is continuously working on improving the overall environment for kids.

I want to start off by saying I am a very understanding person but somethings are just not acceptable. I enrolled my 2nd grader in Safari Kid afterschool program because I needed help with afterschool care. The place was nice and lots of happy kids I saw, however I’m not sure what happened yesterday that caused such negligence. I spoke with the director last week we outlined details for pickup and I felt comfortable. My sons first day, I prepped him to look out for the director (she told me she would be getting him on the first day so she would be able to give instructions to the following teachers that would do it thereafter) and he was excited. I didn’t hear anything from her that first day and I called to see if she needed anything and basically just to confirm. But no answer, I did leave a message though. At 2:51 - 6 minutes after school let out I got a call from them saying they went to school and school had let out hours ago. Confused -I said excuse me ? She proceeded to confirm the school and said the wrong school ! I work in SF it’s up to an hour drive that’s why I needed their help. So now I’m upset because I’m in traffic and who knows when she will be there to get my son, I had to call the office to inform them of the mess up. And after all this I finally get back to Hayward and go pick up my baby, the director didn’t mention anything, not an apology or anything. Just pulled out papers prepared for me to pay tuition and I had to stop her there. NO APOLOGY NO EXPLANATION NO NOTHING? won’t be back don’t take your kids here I know they child care subsidy helps a lot of parent pay for this child care but keep looking. They don’t REALLY have a heart or I feel like I would have at least gotten  a heartfelt apology. Seemed more upset she was losing $650 a month for my kid. Distasteful! Negligent! UNACCEPTABLE!

My child had a wonderful time at Safari kids. Seama and the staff are incredibly caring, attentive, and accommodating. I love the pictures they share of the kids celebrating holidays and participating in various activities. I’m grateful to have found such a fantastic place for my little one to learn and grow, and would highly recommend this daycare.

S.A.M Singapore Math of San Jose

Belle, the program director is super patient and friendly. The center is clean and well-organized. I like the small-size class model, kids getting more out of it.

The best distance learning program for my child. Belle tech 1 full hour every week via virtual class. My child is keeping up with learning math during school closure.

Great place, across the street from Kumon.

School of Rock

The School of Rock Camp is unique. My son was able to be a part of a rock band with other children who enjoy music like he does. He was able to play the electric guitar for the first time and loved it. At the end of the week of camp, they performed for us, and it was amazing to see all that the kids learned in a week. My son really had a blast and looks forward to going again next summer.

Good I like the school  I have my daughter enrolled for singing  and I'm happy  with  the results  you. Should  try it  is good for teenagers I'm happy  when I see the band  playing together  is awesome  watt can do. For kids  of that age

Our son has been attending School of Rock for 4 years and still loves it! The instructors not only teach but they are great mentors and role models as well. He has made friends and has always been comfortable in all of his lessons and band practices. He has gained tremendous confidence and is proud to be a part of a band.

School of Rock has taught my son self confidence which you can not put a price tag on. We absolutely love School of Rock and all of the instructors. They are professional and work great with children! There are not enough positive things I could say about School of Rock in East Brunswick!

At SOR the performance oriented program and group participation create an environment that kids can become competent and functioning musicians. The staff at East Brunswick are all highly capable musicians and people that are wired to interact greatly with kids. I am consistently shocked by how high a level of proficiency they guide these kids to achieve. I can't imagine there's a better option for a motivated aspiring child to be fostered into reaching their potential.

British Swim School at Esporta Fitness - East Brunswick

I ultimately stopped for several reasons, some being personal like my son not really taking to it and it wasn’t his thing. That doesn’t affect my rating.    To the contrary, I felt communication could definitely be better, teachers change constantly (some are awesome, some could care less), and recently they stopped letting you use the locker room. I was told specifically on the first day by staff that we could. Now we have to resort to changing tents.  Funny bc my girlfriend takes her daughter to a different location but they’re still allowed to use the lockers.   That bothers me and seems like rules are not the same for all locations.

Staff is very organized, talented and patient with kids. Both my kids love their instructors and look forward to their classes every week.

Much less intimidating than I imagined especially for an adult learner.
Thank you for proving a wholesome environment that fosters learning for everyone.

Instructors are really good, attentive and friendly with kids. My son is super excited to attend every class.

Excellent kids friendly swimming facility. All the instructors are well trained and knows their job.

British Swim School at Hampton Inn & Suites

Could not be happier with the instructors and program.  We had our Granddaughters up for a visit and the staff went all out to accommodate our limited schedule.  The kids had a great time and were made to feel welcome right from the start.  The staff are wonderful with the kids!  Very focused on teaching safe swim.  I would encourage parents to check this school out.
They even teach babies!!  Very, very impressed.  Will be visiting British Swim School again.

We have absolutely loved our time with British Swim School. We have been to two other swim schools and this is by far the best. They have taken our kids who were terrified of the water to being able to jump in and begin floating on their back. I really would recommend it for anyone who wants their kids to have a comfortable and enjoyable experience being introduced to swimming. Their focus on water safety on is evident in all their teaching. We can’t recommend it highly enough.

Amazing team of instructors! I would highly recommend British swim school for swim lessons. Easy to work with competent teachers and good overall management! Our daughter was very anxious about getting into the pool at first.. but was swimming and enjoying her time in water after just about 3/4 lessons! 😊

I enrolled my grandchildren in the British Swim School. I am very  happy with their program. The teachers are great and develop trust with the kids. They have definitely learned safety first. Would highly recommend it.  The kids  are progressing and having a good time in the water.

They are so child centered & positive.  My granddaughter had a very negative experience with another swimming program and wasn't interested in lessons ever again.  I asked her to give it a try for 1 or 2 times.  She LOVES it.  She makes up songs about going to lessons, gets ready ahead of time on her own, and wishes it was longer each time.  I am so please with her progress with her strokes, but even more with her attitude.   Awesome experience!

British Swim School at Westminster Hotel - Livingston

DO NOT PURCHASE. We were recommended to go to the Goldfish swim school for our 1 year old, but ended up purchasing British Swim School as it was the only option with availability (now I know why). Here's several red flags that I hope you can avoid:

1) We signed up for a Sunday class because we are unable to make weekday sessions. I cannot tell you how many times there have been cancellations, which is really disappointing since we looked forward to this once a week. Unfortunately availability is highly geared towards weekday sessions when we cannot go at our most convenient location.

2) Classes are held at a hotel. During our first few sessions, there would randomly be a guest or two in the pool but it wasn't an issue. Today, it was beyond inappropriate for a baby class. As soon as our session began, a slew of rowdy guests came in. Some brought glass cocktails near the edge of the pool, and took inappropriate posing pictures on the swim ladder. Then a crowd of 10+ unsupervised children came into the poo, took our swimming gear, swam directly into us and stayed in our session circle, screaming the entire time. Another hotel guest also joined our private session and was allowed to participate (which was odd). The atmosphere was entirely chaotic causing my son to be distracted the entire time. The most frustrating part was that the British Swim Staff did nothing about it. They just let the unruly environment continue and disrupt our paid session.

3) The entire reason why we signed up for swim school was for our son to gain safety skills in the water. For the price point we have been paying, I feel like the safety aspects have been very minimal. We were really excited by the announcement of survival week and were told we could dress him in normal clothes to simulate a scenario if he ever fell into the pool by himself. Unfortunately, at our weekly session, the survival week focused class never happened. No idea why.

We have cancelled our membership, probably won't be able to makeup our 4+ makeup classes during to limited availability...I am just extremely disappointed with this entire experience.
