Kiddie Academy of Paradise Hills

★Wesley Hammond

We had our son enrolled there since August 2025. It started off good, but as the year went on, more incidents occurred that had our sons safety as a concern. To bring context into our confusion into what was or was not considered an issue with our kid here's an example. One day picking my son, the teacher (Ms. S) pulled me to tell me right away that my son was taking his jacket off and putting it in the trash. Im telling you this because this was something that HAD to be addressed, but these next examples were not addressed with the same level of urgency. One day, He was bitten on the chest by another student in his class, to the point it was bleeding and looked like a chunk of skin was taken out. The teachers immediate response was, "I'll separate the children going forward"... which didnt seem like the result it should've been (no accountability on the other student whatsoever. We were not notified until MUCH later in the day... no urgency. Weeks go by and another student, punches my son in the eye, and this time we only found out because another student told us. No incident report was filed, no urgency in the teachers part (Ms.S) and the teacher never notified WHEN it happened. This time the reasoning was "the boys play so rough"... which seemed like a cop out and again, no legitimate next steps in what was going to be done to prevent this from happening again. 2 weeks later, the same child that punched my son in the face, scratched his cheek so bad, that again it was bleeding and looked like a lot of skin was taken off his cheek. The teachers answer once again was... "the boys were playing rough"... again, no explanation as to what the teacher was doing to stop these types of incidents from occurring (we had the camera to watch throughout the day, and the teacher was always just dead staring into a tablet with no real grasp or control of any of the students). Again no urgency... Due to our child's safety and real no trust with who was running the class and lack of accountability, we had to withdraw our child.... Im not one for writing reviews, but if this helps prevent another parent from seeing their kid get beaten up, cut up, or bitten, then I'm all for helping a fellow parent out.

BEWARE OF THIS DAYCARE, ALL NEGATIVE REVIEWS ARE ABSOLUTELY TRUE! If I could give a negative zero stars, i would.Most staff are very rude, fake and love to gossip and never care about bonding with kids. The director Linda is very condescending and rude to parents when you call her out on certain things. She constantly accused my 3 year old daughter of needing behavioral help from outside source for hitting and biting and suspended her but refused to prove this to me despite asking to see camera footage of proof. HOW DARE HER SAY MY CHILD NEEDS HELP WHEN SHE IS THE ONE THAT DOES.I have moved my child away from this daycare months ago and she thriving at her new daycare. i have never received one phone call about any complaints. Not a single complaint from the new daycare.This daycare is a very unstable environment for kids. My child was always moved to a different class and never got use to a teacher or class and they will not bother letting the parent know about the move and switch camera view on the app, which leaves the parent so anxious about the child.Some of the teachers, including the assistant director will give u multiple phone calls to pick up your kid because they had an accident without checking the cubby for extra clothes and thats because, they are trying to get rid of kids due to them always being short staffed. They totally disrupt parents with phone calls for stupid reasons . They never answer the phone or respond to voice messages either. The daycare is very unsanitary and nothing to write home about. I absolutely regret taking my children to this daycare.

My twins attended Kiddie Academy from 4 months to just before their first birthday. While the facility looked clean, my children were sick more often than they were well. For months, I asked for help with sleep struggles, especially important for preemies, but was repeatedly met with rigid policies and no real flexibility. Watching my babies come home exhausted and miserable every day was heartbreaking. The long term teachers genuinely care, but their hands are tied by strict management and low morale. The center will make changes with a doctor’s note, but that puts extra stress on already overwhelmed parents. They do offer remote camera access—a rare perk (for an additional fee)—and provide food and formula, though they often cut corners by switching back and forth between off-brand Target formula and the advertised Enfamil, which affected my twins' feedings and overall well being. When we left, I emailed explaining why—no response, not even a thank you. And honestly, that silence felt on brand (and prompted this review). We’d raise concerns, they’d nod along, then nothing would change. Kiddie Academy might work for families who love rules and have kids who fit the mold, but children who need extra support will likely struggle. And their parents right along with them because there isn't anything worst than having to leave your kid(s) behind and know their needs aren't being met. Since leaving, our twins are thriving—well-rested, healthy, happy, and finally getting the care they deserve at a family centered child care where they care about our well being as a family, not just their profit and convenience.

Long overdue for this review. Our child attended this daycare for almost 2 years before heading off to kindergarten, and we loved it so much that we decided to bring her back for their summer adventures program. The staff is incredibly caring and attentive, providing a nurturing environment where our child thrived. I especially love that she continues to learn new things over the summer, keeping her engaged and excited even during the school break. The daycare's commitment to education and fun makes it the perfect choice for us. Highly recommend this daycare to any parent!
