ABC Kids Academy has been a wonderful choice for my daughter. From the director to the staffs, they are all very kind, supportive and professional What stands out most is how engaged and age-appropriate the classroom activities are. The day feels organized and purposeful, but still fun, and my daughter is always coming home with new experiences and stories. I also appreciate the every day communication, updates and the way the staff support a safe, positive environment for the children. Overall, i am very happy with ABC Kids Academy and I would strongly recommend it to other parents.
Alice SamsonJul 28, 2026ABC Kids Academy has been such a blessing for our family. My daughter attended here before moving on to Head Start, and because of the wonderful experience she had, choosing this daycare again for my son was an easy decision. He started at ABC Kids Academy when he was just 4 months old and is now 1 year and 8 months and the care he receives has been exceptional from the very beginning. The staff at ABC Kids Academy are patient, loving, and truly attentive. They treat every child as if they were their own, which gives me so much peace of mind each day. The environment is always clean, safe, and filled with activities that encourage learning, growth, and exploration. I can see the difference in my son's development, socially and emotionally, thanks to the thoughtful care they provide. As a parent, having trust in the people who care for my child is everything, and I feel completely confident leaving my son in their hands. Their communication is consistent, and I always feel welcomed and respected whenever I walk in. I highly recommend ABC Kids Academy to any parent looking for a daycare that feels like a true extension of family. They have supported both of my children, and I am beyond grateful for the love and dedication they bring every day.
Anthonia OluwatobaFeb 22, 2026My baby started at ABC Kids Academy as an infant, and the care was truly exceptional. The teachers were loving, attentive, and created a safe, nurturing environment that made me feel at ease every day. I had to move a few months ago because my work schedule no longer aligned with the daycare hours, and after experiencing other programs, I now realize even more how much ABC Kids gave my little one. Their infant program provided a strong, loving start that I will always be grateful for. I highly recommend ABC Kids Academy to any parent looking for excellent infant care.
Blessed OneSep 11, 2025ABC Kids is amazing! The staff are caring, the environment is safe, and our child is thriving. We love the communication and feel truly supported every day. If you're looking for a daycare that truly feels like a second home, ABC Kids is it. Highly recommend!
C KingoriJul 24, 2025No stars this place is an absolute joke! Very unorganized spoke with the staff a week ago, and asked them if they had an opening for my nephew who is five I was told Yes! Took the application back in on Friday. The staff told me that the Director would look at the paperwork and let me know the status or if I missed anything on Monday at least to say I did not hear anything from the Director. I waited until the afternoon to call and then was told that the Director has not looked at my nephews application it was just sitting on her desk. Oh also was told that he can only start on Mondays not in the middle of the week which is fine, so that’s why I put the application in Friday and hopefully he could be able to start this new daycare on 22 July also told her to direct them to call me I never received any calls from here. I had to call several times to ask if she looked at the application yet and was told no, it’s still sitting at her desk so I decided to call her again later in the evening the directions told me oh we are having a audit and because of the audit I don’t have time to look at any new applications I drop that application off Friday so it would take her four days to look at it which she said she can only review it on Wednesday. I’ve never heard of a company that still does not do business because they have an audit I’ve had audits done at a location that I work with, we continue to work to help people even lower. The audit was going on. We do not stop and let people wait for four days because we have an audit. Because I wanted to start him on the 22nd. If I missed anything I wouldn’t be able to start on the starting date that I need it for work. Then the Director calls me today on Tuesday to tell me oh I did not look through the paperwork. I looked at some of it, and we are not going to have staff to provide for him because he turns six in August. I made up my mind the day before that this will not be a good place for him, because they are not organized and talking to her the day before. She definitely was encouraging me not to bring my nephew there especially when she said oh, you can look at other day cares to see if one is available that was a sign for me to know that this was not the right please anytime someone tries to discourage you from bringing in your child to their daycare. I would not recommend this place to anyone you get the running around, unorganized, professionalism is 0 to none. I also look at all the other reviews, and it definitely tells you what kind of place you will put your child in. so it’s more blessing that she was discouraging me to put my nephew in that daycare, ABC kids academy in Newark Delaware near Elkton Maryland. I’m going to let him stay where he is if it’s not broken, then why fix it but this place is “Absolutely Unprofessional” like the other young lady said I would not give it any stars, but I had to put in something they do not deserve one.
Shari JohnsonJul 16, 2024My daughter started ABC kids Academy Spring of 2023. My daughter start complaining about teacher hitting her in summer of August 2023. My daughter is well verbal and a child is not going lie about being mistreated. Spoke with the owner about the incident and the owner said she will investigate it. When I asked to see the cameras she said they don’t work! October 16, 2023 picked my daughter up from daycare at 3:30pm she told me that she was wet and that the teacher hit her on the back. On the daily report teacher (Kim)wrote that she was wet at 3:00pm and that’s the same time teacher leaves to go home. So that mean my daughter was neglected in Kim care at that time because the teacher for whatever reason left before changing her wet clothes. Parents please beware of sending your child to this daycare owner is very unprofessional, cameras don’t work and you can’t go inside to pick up your child. I’m so happy I removed my daughter from this facility!!!
