  Choosing a daycare for my 2-year-old son was one of the scariest and most emotional decisions I’ve had to make as a parent. I was nervous and worried about how he would adjust, but Children International Academy has truly been a blessing to our family. The love, patience, and genuine care his teachers show him every day is beyond commendable. Ms. Maya, Carol, Elsa, Melanie, and Emily have made such a positive impact, and it gives me peace of mind knowing he is in such caring hands. I also want to recognize Ms. Claribel and Ms. Silvia, who always greet us with smiles, warmth, and enthusiasm even though they are not his direct teachers. Their kindness never goes unnoticed and helps create such a welcoming environment. A very special thank you to the directors, Ms. Nelly and Maritssa who are absolutely magnificent. Their leadership and dedication are reflected throughout the entire center. Mr. Greg; the owners is so nice, kind, and present in the business to ensure all families have a great experience. I am so grateful for the love, support, and safe environment Children International Academy provides. I highly recommend this daycare to any parent looking for a place where their child will truly be cared for and loved.

  My son has been attending children international since he was 8 months old he will be 8 years old next month. I appreciate every one of the teachers for doing a good job caring for my child. Now that he goes to school they make sure to drop him off on time and pick him up as well. In cold days they make sure he is bundled up which I love. My son has nothing but good things to say about his teachers :)

  Love them! My first daughter started here at the age of 2 and I now have 3 daughters and all of them attend here. My oldest graduated pre-school from here. Overall they have been the best experience for my kids . Only daycare my kids know. They treat you like family from management to staff themselves . The teachers are top tier and they take their time with the kids. I can’t thank them enough , they have helped with potty training all the way up to educational learning. I would highly recommend this daycare to anyone . I thank you all for everything you all have done.

  My daughter has been going here since she was 5 months old, she is now 2. She loves coming to the daycare EVERY day! They have been more than helpful and accommodating. Ms. Nelly is my absolute favorite; she is always there whenever we need anything. I am overly grateful for finding this daycare. They are also cost friendly which is very helpful and important to me..

  Mr. Greg and his staff are extremely caring to my children. I feel very comfortable leaving my 7year old (before and after school) and my 4year old with them. There are a number of reason why this center is fantastic. Here are several examples.... I love the communication the center provides. They are timely and sincere. They always keep me informed of opportunities and activities inside the four walls and for that I am grateful. Another bonus is the programs that the center have been valuable to the development of my children. My daughter is in 2nd grade and thanks to the center, is advanced in her class! Mr. Greg has been a wonderful partner for both the parents and the children of the center. He is constantly working on projects to improve and make the center better. In addition to Mr. Greg, Ms. Sylvia always makes sure the children don’t miss their meals and Ms. Carolina makes sure the kids are safe. When I go to work, I feel good knowing that I am leaving my children in a safe learning environment. I am so glad we decided to choose Mr. Greg and his professional team. My kids couldn’t be in a better place!

  Looking for quality childcare… well let me tell you about Children's International Academy (CIA)). As a mother of 5 finding quality childcare was top priority for me. My youngest child joined the Children's International Academy family when she was around 4 months and now at age of 4 she is still there. My daughter has had the opportunity to grow and develop with the CIA family, which is important to me. The staff and teachers at CIA is very welcoming to everyone I have seen walk into the center, they make you feel like family from day one. Communication is always open with CIA; the warm atmosphere makes you feel comfortable leaving your child in their care. The teachers are caring, nurturing and knowledgeable in early childhood, my daughter has reached developmental milestones while attending CIA. The teachers go over and beyond for children in their care. My daughter has become sociable and independent; I give credit to every teacher that has been a part of my daughter’s development at CIA. She amazes me with something new every day, and if her teacher said it “its golden” with her. As a working parent knowing that my child is safe, learning and well taken care of is top priority for me. CIA is a welcoming kid friendly environment; my child is happy there. So I can leave her there knowing her day will be filled with nutritional meals/snacks, age-appropriate activities that stimulates her love for learning and she will be safe. If you’re looking for a safe, clean, quality childcare I suggest giving Children's International Academy call. I know I am glad that I did.
