Our oldest one is now 7 and she used to go this daycare since she was 3 y.o.. Her first teacher (Ms .Deena) still works there. Now our second daughter Kristina is 4 y.o. and she has been going to this daycare since she was 15 weeks old. Our third child - Anthony is going to this daycare too. Anthony started at their infant room when he was 11 weeks old. The daycare has always had a very good curriculum, appropriate activities for kids, healthy meals and caring staff. Ms. Claudia and Ms. Jessica in the infant room are amazing! They truly love all babies in the room and take a very good care of them. Anthony loves his teachers. Ms. Rosie, Ms.Kristy, Ms. Zoey, Ms. Cat, Ms. Ariana, Ms. Jefrianna, and other teachers are all amazing. The classrooms just got repainted even though the building is still new, they maintain the school in a very good condition. When I come to pick up my kids they are always happy and smiling. I love receiving their pictures through the day via daycare app. The lady that prepares meals for the kids is very sweet, kids and babies really like her cooking. Everyone is very friendly and nice. Sure there were a few "bad apples" who left because they weren't a good fit. Thankfully, all good teachers stayed and had been with this daycare for a long time New management team is very attentive. This is a good daycare.

It’s teachers like her that make me feel safe and know that my son is in great hands. I get daily reports and pictures of what activities my son is doing and he is always engaged and wanting to learn because she makes it fun! The curriculum is amazing and it is setting children up for success. Thank you to all the great teachers and staff here. My son is excited to go back each and everyday. ----- Author: Katerina Kurbatova, Esq. Rating: 5/5 Date: 12/2/2023, 10:30:02 PM Review: Both of my kids attend(ed) Oviedo Kiddie Academy. We love it and feel comfortable leaving our kids there. Teachers are doing an awesome job despite the job being so stressful. We love the curriculum, the personal approach, ability to address any issues and come up with the best resolution together. We also like this daycare because we can see our kids on cameras and it gives us a peace of mind knowing what our kids are doing, when and how long they nap, etc. My son made a lot of friends there and even though he is in actual school now he still stays in touch with his friends and comes to visit Kiddie Academy. ----- Author: Andrea Kichline Rating: 5/5 Date: 2/3/2022, 9:09:41 PM Review: Staff are wonderful! Check in system easy to utilize. Curriculum updates and tips on what to continue at home is helpful. Daily update of my sons day gives us something to chat about over dinner. This was higher priced than others that I looked into prior to moving here, but I am realizing why. Care matters when it comes to your little (s). To me that is priceless.

They keep me informed and updated on a regular, they love on my Son like He is their own. Drop off and pick ups are a breeze and the staff has to be the most kindest people I’ve come across! It always smells nice in there, lit well and very secure! ----- Author: John Fulton Rating: 1/5 Date: 6/7/2024, 1:46:16 PM Review: Within a three month span, the director left the gate open and two children were found in the street (they tried to cover it up), the assistant director was fired for smoking repeatedly smoking weed in the bathroom, and a child suffered a heat stroke. My wife opened the camera and saw EMS tending to a kid laying down face first. I had warned them two months prior this would happen after picking my kid up and seeing she was on the verge of passing out from the heat. My heart broke when I saw how red and lethargic she was. So when my wife called me and told me she saw a kid on camera, laying face down, baking in the sun, surrounded by EMTs, that was the breaking point for me. I left work immediately to pull them out. When you pay top dollar for daycare, you would think you could expect that your kids won’t just receive mediocre care, but outstanding care. Paying a second mortgage here means your kids will be overfed junk food, their water bottles won’t be refilled and they will be over exposed to heat. Sure, accidents happen but this daycare is morally corrupt. You are risking your kids lives sending them here. These issues are top-down, the owners are willing to hire just about anyone, regardless of what that means for the safety of the kids. Many new hires just graduated high school and have no certifications. The competent and caring staff have left and are leaving. ----- Author: Carina Coello Rating: 1/5 Date: 5/24/2024, 10:58:16 PM Review: I am like beyond fed up and disappointed. This place is not what it looks like. Don’t waste your time. This is week two for me and I’m already done. First day, my son had bug bites and no one knew to let us know. The report indicated nothing. Then, a child threw a sleeping cot at my son’s head. My partner so happened to turn on the camera and witnessed this. The teachers had their backs turned and then walked by my son like nothing happened because they didn’t know what happened. He had to call the school and tell them to examine our son. Another situation, my son has a personal water bottle we fill every time we drop him off and it was empty plenty of times upon picking him up. But, when we picked it up to clean at home, he would be reaching for it and begging for water. After noticing the hard stool in his diapers, we finally understood that he was not getting enough water. The temporary resolution to get water refilled for him was bringing our own water in for them to refill his water bottle. Like a reminder for the staff to fill his water. Yesterday, he had a mark under his eye that no one can answer to how it happened. Report indicated nothing. Today, we went to Publix and he gets his usual free cookie. It’s his occasional sweet treat. He never refuses it and today he did. Odd. Then, I am driving him home and he projectile vomited all the contents in his stomach which reeked of vanilla wafers. I looked up the report and sure enough, he had an AM snack of vanilla wafer. The scent of vanilla wafers in my car smelled like he ate an entire box. He’s just about 2.5, so the amount of vanilla wafers to ratio? Wow. No wonder he refused a cookie. I spoke to the Assistant Director yesterday trying to get my concerns across, and he was very receptive. He told me of the high turnover in 2-3’s room and the tenured teacher being on maternity leave. Speaking on how standards will be set with the new staff. I felt like we would turn a new page after our conversation and the next day, I have my son eating a million wafers? Ugh. Beyond frustrating as a working parent. If anyone is wondering, we will begin the process of pulling him out next week. ----- Author: John-Paul Craig Rating: 5/5 Date: 3/4/2022, 8:10:54 PM Review: I've been sending my son here since it opened. I highly recommend this facility. The teachers and staff are all very friendly and caring. They are also responsive to any questions or issues. Communication is great about day to day activities and sending pictures of the children. They have cameras available if you feel the need to check in on your kids to see how they're doing. They also have a locked door with a secure sign-in system, so no random people are entering the building. They take the safety of the kids very seriously. The teachers are great at working with the kids and helping them learn. The kids are well fed and kept clean. The facility is very clean overall. The staff has also remained constant. At our previous daycare, the staff would seem like they change by the month. It's nice to see the same faces and have the staff/teachers really get to know you and your child. Updating...still a great place. My son is now in VPK and has been here since the 1-2 class. I am very happy with his experience and the facility.
