  • It’s hard to find truly great teachers these days, which is why we're so grateful for Fia Mia Academy. From the start, the staff stood out as caring, attentive, and genuinely invested. They were always excited to see our daughter, and she felt the same way about them! She was consistently comfortable there, which made a big difference for my wife and I. We always felt confident leaving her in their care, and that kind of peace of mind is huge. Overall, a great choice if you’re looking for compassionate teachers and a warm, welcoming environment.

  • We have been part of this daycare for over two years, and it has been such a positive experience for our family. The environment is warm and cheerful, and my kids run into their classrooms every day excited to see their teachers and friends. The staff and management are attentive, supportive, and incredibly responsive. Communication is open and consistent, which I really appreciate as a working parent. I’m continually amazed by how much my children are learning, and they’re learning through play, so they don’t even realize it. It’s the perfect balance of fun and education. Most importantly, knowing my children are truly cared for gives me peace of mind while I’m at work. We couldn’t be happier here.

  • I can’t say enough good things about Fia Mia Academy! My son goes here and from the moment I walked in, everyone was so welcoming and professional. The instructors really take their time to make sure you understand everything, and you can tell they genuinely care about their students’ success. The atmosphere is positive and supportive, which made the environment feel comfortable instead of intimidating. You can tell they hold high standards but still make it an amaking experience. If you’re thinking about enrolling your children, you should, it was 100% worth it. Highly recommend!

  • This school is truly phenomenal. I’ve never been a part of such an incredible community that focuses on topics that truly matter. They really understand child development to their core, they focus on feeding children nutritious organic meals (and teach them to prepare too!), they value emotional regulation skills which is HUGE in this age group, teach children self advocacy and problem solving/confidence, seek so many creative activities and projects, explore outside time with the most amazing land, and keep parents very informed and involved in the classroom. The teachers clearly love their job and it is soooo evident. The school is simply fantastic. Not one negative thing to say. We are SO lucky to have them in our community!

  • My son has been going to Fia Mia since he was a few months old. The teachers have been amazing and shown my son how to have fun learning, interacting with other children and excelling in challenging situations for growth. Couldn’t be happier with the management and owner as they work as best they can with parents to help bring out the best experience for the kids.

    Jon KosrowFeb 18, 2026
  • We chose Fia Mia for their Reggio Emilia approach, and we see the impact every day in our daughter’s growth and confidence. The curriculum treats children as curious, capable learners and encourages creativity through art, movement, and play. We love the outdoor time, made-from-scratch organic meals, and the thoughtful, intentional environment. Most of all, the staff is exceptional - kind, caring, and truly invested in every child. We feel incredibly blessed to have this level of early childhood care in our community. Highly recommend.
