Author: Dorothy Lynn Poore Rating: 5/5 Date: 2/21/2025, 6:45:28 AM Review: The VPK program at Kids R Kids on Collier PKWY provides a structured, fun environment where children thrive. The engaging curriculum builds early literacy, math, and social skills while also encouraging independence. As a foster parent, I truly appreciate how the staff makes efforts to balance empathy and accountability. They recognize that each child has different needs or past traumas that may affect how they learn and receive information, ensuring a personalized and supportive approach. The staff has also been key in reinforcing potty training, making the transition smoother with patience and positive reinforcement. Their caring support, combined with a strategic focus on communication, allows children to develop confidence. We’re so grateful for the progress our children have made and recommend Kids 'R' Kids for a solid foundation in kindergarten.

Author: Nicole Jaromin Rating: 5/5 Date: 12/19/2024, 2:20:41 AM Review: My daughter has gone to Kids R Kids since she was an infant. She is 3 now and loves her teachers and the classroom. She is a very active child, so her getting the amount of attention she does with the activities they provide are wonderful, including their outside time. I enjoy the aspect that this daycare provides cameras for us to see her throughout the day. Staff is usually good about calling if my daughter is sick, running a fever or has fallen in some way/had an accident. The teachers always tell me about her day when I pick her up and how she acted. So I’m aware of her habits while she’s there, good and bad. The daycare also has holiday celebrations, encouraging parents to join. Whether it’s breakfast for Mother’s Day or decorating cookies for Christmas, it’s celebrating with the parents, which is wonderful. I would say one of the only downfalls is how expensive it is a week for childcare here. But at the end of the day, my daughter comes home happy and tells me she had a good day. So I’m good with the price knowing she is treated well and happy there. ----- Author: Salty Sea Rating: 4/5 Date: 8/26/2022, 3:07:39 PM Review: We just joined for context. We are driving a long distance to attend this school, primarily for camera access so cameras are a big deal to us. In case you choose this school for the cameras, the resolution on them is so grainy that it has limited use. Other schools that provide camera access do not have grainy old cameras. It costs them $20 per camera to upgrade to 1080 so not sure why they don't do that. Also, they don't tell you (assume unless you ask) but you can only log in 10 times for 10 minutes each time. If you are used to all day camera access like we were, you will be disappointed in this weird limitation, as we have always had all day access by camera to our child. Why would they limit parental access? I don't get it. They also have playground camera access but it points to a fence that obstructs the view and is grainy so you can't even tell if your child is on the playground. Just sharing this so you aren't as surprised as we were to learn this. On a positive note, should you be able to log in, the do provide camera access to multiple rooms that your child uses, which we like. I really only knocked the rating down for these fixable camera issues but otherwise it is a 5 star school. Day 2: Cameras allow me to see that they seem to always have 3 adults (teachers?) in the room with 15 kids. That's an amazing ratio!! The kids are all well behaved (mine wasn't at the last place because I think she was bored and under-supervised). I see actual teaching going on so I'm very happy about that. We are happy to be here. Day 3+: The "app" they use only updates late at night, like 7pm. You only get their nap time and what they ate. They do have "what they did that day" type content but they give you the exact same things everyday for a week. There's no pictures, bathroom breaks (not needed, just fyi), or anything else. The kids seem to be thriving there and the main teacher seems to be very good. This is really what matters. I'm thankful she has the opportunity to be cared for there and I would recommend this place. I hope they update the cameras soon.

Es un lugar muy agradable para nuestros. Niños los tratan con respeto y sobre todo les brindan mucho amor y cariño
I wish they had an elementary school. This place is far beyond daycare. They provide high quality education in a kid friendly environment. The teachers really care about all the kids. Kids love to go to this place. I was hesitant to send my daughter to any daycare as she would cry throughout the day. I have only tried a couple of days near my workplace. Kids R Kids surprised me. Not only did she stay calm, but she enjoyed it here. I found her happy in the evening when I went to pick her up. "Picky eater" seemed to have enjoyed her meal here. Ms. Billie was flexible in many ways that she helped us with what's best for our daughter. She was very supportive when I called to check on my daughter. There is something special about this place. Always filled with positivity; smile on every face ü§ó I highly recommend this place for early education.
Sinceramente pensé que esta empresa al ser una guardería podría tener un gran lado humano pero no tiene ni lo más mínimo. Llamaron a mi esposo para decirle que mi hijo tenía los ojos rojos y las orejas rojas lo cual parecía una alergia. Esperaba llegar a la guardería y que la alergia que tenía era algo simple porque encontré que la cara de mi hijo parecía un monstruo (aquí no subo fotos de mi hijo para no hacerlo público), sus ojos estaban como para cerrar, tenía la lengua hinchada y sus oídos súper hinchados, ¡casi no tenía voz! No sé nada de medicina, está claro que cuando una persona empieza a tener estas condiciones hay que llamar al 911 inmediatamente. Llegué a la guarderia y en mi desesperación comencé a decirles que eso era negligencia y me fui. Hasta el momento no he recibido ningún mensaje ni llamada al menos para ver cómo está mi hijo. Cuando llegué a urgencias mi susto fue aún mayor cuando entraron 4 personas a la habitación porque inmediatamente tuvimos que revisarle el oxígeno al niño y darle medicación lo antes posible porque lo que estaba teniendo era una reacción alérgica grave... La pregunta es ¿dónde están las autoridades competentes? que permiten abrir un centro como deberia saber manejar este tipo de situaciones que son muy peligrosas. Si mi hijo hubiera muerto, ¿quién lo traería de vuelta? Durante días había estado un poco molesta porque había notado que algunas partes se quemaban como si no las limpiaran a tiempo, pero esto que pasó Si no lo dejare pasar.. ustedes lo unico que les interesa es la plata porque para eso si son bien puntuales para sacarla cada semana. Esto no se va a quedar asi..
I honestly thought that this company, being a daycare center, could have a great human side but it doesn't have the slightest bit. They called my husband to tell him that my son had red eyes and red ears which looked like an allergy. I expected to arrive at daycare and that the allergy I had was something simple because I found that my son's face looked like a monster (I don't upload photos of my son here so as not to make it public), his eyes were as if they were closing, his tongue was swollen and my ears were super swollen, I almost had no voice! I don't know anything about medicine, it is clear that when a person starts to have these conditions you have to call 911 immediately. I got to the daycare and in my desperation I started telling them that this was negligence and I left. So far I have not received any messages or calls, at least to see how my son is doing. When I arrived at the emergency room, my scare was even greater when 4 people entered the room because we immediately had to check the child's oxygen and give him medication as soon as possible because what he was having was a serious allergic reaction... The question is where? Are the competent authorities? that allow you to open a center so that you can even know how to handle these types of situations that are very dangerous. If my son had died, who would bring him back? For days she had been a little upset because she had noticed that some parts were burning as if they were not cleaned in time, but what happened? If not, I'll let it happen...
So my son is special needs and was having some difficulty at his previous before/after care program. The previous program as 1 large room with up to 100 kids and 4 adults. So I reached out to kids r kids and explained how he was being suspended and with me returning to office it was a stressful time not knowing if I would have care. I was assured that they are able to handle the situation and they wouldn’t suspend him for behavior and would notify me of the behavior. Well they were right about 1 thing, they didn’t suspend him they kicked him out after 3 days. Now I’m worse off than I was before. On top of that they kept my $150 application fee. I wouldn’t recommend this place if your child is special needs as they panic and and instead of trying to help your child they kick them out.
Fun
