We switched to this day care about 4 months ago with our two boys. My first impression was how colorful and cheerful the facility looks from the outside. I like that there are multiple entrys/exits for the parking lot. The building is well lit and I really like that the front door is locked with a keypad entry.
Once inside it is decorated in all the different kids' art. There is a great big room, about the length of the building, that all the kids are in in the morning and evenings with a tv, lots of toys and a gaming console. As all the children and teachers arrive they sort out into age appropriate classrooms. In the classrooms each child has a cubbie, a sleeping mat, a hook and classwork folder the can use. Breakfast, snacks and lunch are all provided. I do have one picky eater and they are great about giving him his own lunch. My other son had a dietary restriction and they were great about working with that as well! And they also offer potty training assistance.
There are also 3-4 seperated playground areas with loys of toys. During summer there is a weekly water day with a huge inflated bouncy water slide that gets professionally set up for all the kids to go on no extra fees! Also if your interested in extracurricular activities like gymnastics on Fridays the Tumble Bus comes and for a seperate fee you can sign your kids up to tumble. I like that the gym comes to the school.
One of the main reasons we decided to switch to this school was due to their use of the Saxon Curriculum. I've seen huge jumps in cognitive learning with both my 2 yr old and 4 yr old! Also the prices here are very competitive to other daycares in the area and we've switched several parents on to this place. We love the atmosphere of the place, the owner is very involved. She's very friendly and you can tell she loves the kids. The teachers are kind and patient and really do care. I really can not say enough good things about Kids Garden Academy my husband and I love this place!
