I cannot say enough amazing things about this daycare! The level of care, patience, and attention they give my daughter Isabella is truly unmatched. You can tell they genuinely love what they do and treat every child like family. Isabella has grown so much since being here—socially, emotionally, and developmentally. Her services are absolutely top tier, and they keep me informed every step of the way, which gives me so much peace of mind as a parent. Clean environment, structured routine, and a team that actually cares… that’s hard to find. I’m beyond grateful for everything they do. Highly recommend to any parent looking for a safe, loving, and professional place for their child!
ELISEAH WILLIAMS- DIXONMar 20, 2026I have had nothing but a great experience sending my children to this Daycare. Miss Alicia, the owner of the Daycare is fantastic. Miss LaNeeka the director of the school is wonderful as well. All the staff I have encountered have been great, kind and helpful. I love that the school goes on field trips a lot especially during the summer. My kids always come back having had a great day. I’m just really grateful that they’re so close to my home and accommodating for everyone. Thank you all for doing what you do and taking care and loving my children the way that you do I appreciate you!
Rida HodgesAug 13, 2025When I dropped my son off this morning, he had a huge smile on his face. He was so excited to start the day off playing with his friends here at this amazing daycare. His teacher, Ms. Kim, does such fun units with the classroom - the current one is on the solar system, and past units have included zoo animals, the human heart, birds, and more. I also love how this daycare also has such an emphasis on spending time outdoors (and always makes sure that my son has sunscreen on!) and away from screens, which is so important for healthy development for children. The daycare has a "small school feel" where everyone who works there also engages with every child and with every parent/caregiver. The administrative team there makes everything so streamlined and easy. Any scheduling, billing, app, or events (and they have some great events!) questions have all been quickly and fully answered, leaving me feeling supported in all things for my son. This facility is EI friendly, and all of the EI therapists who go there have mentioned how much they love this particular daycare, which further solidifies the confidence that this is the right daycare for my son.
Allison Spiaser-PinedaAug 8, 2025Kidds Palace Learning Academy was one of the best decisions I made for my infant baby girl two years ago. With quite a few daycares to choose from, it was extremely important to get it right the first time. I chose Kidds Palace with faith and met the Assistant Director - Mrs Laneeka. She greeted me with such delight and scheduled a tour that left me confident in registering my baby. The facility is well kept and sanitized. The entire staff are great and I love how they love on all the children like their own. My daughter faced some challenges as a new born and the way they cared for her emotionally and academically she’s thriving in every aspect and now in pre-k. Trust me, choosing Kidds Palace Learning Academy is a decision you won’t regret, in fact you’ll feel at home.
Von BennettAug 8, 2025I was referred to KPLA by my best friend whose daughter (similar age as my own daughter) attended there. Ms LaNeeka was such a sweetheart when I sat down with her and expressed my new mom concerns as a potential enrollee. She answered all of them even the ones that were probably trivial to others but to her, she made me feel like my concerns were/are valid. On the first day I meet her teachers and they greeted me and took the time to get to know me and my daughter. My daughter isn’t just a number to them. Every single teacher greets me and my daughter like we have been there for years and not just a few months. Ms Alicia greets us with a genuine smile and makes sure to reassure my anxious mama heart! I met Ms Kim a few weeks ago and we laugh like old friends and my daughter never hesitates to take her hand to go to her classroom. She is in the Toddler 2 room and her teachers are so patient and kind to these babies. These ladies are wonderful and I am happy to take the 35 minute drive to drop my daughter off because I know we (me and my daughter) are in good hands! On her first day, we were all in tears lol but now my daughter doesn’t even give me a second look back and that right there is more than enough reason for me to have my daughter here. My daughter is talking more, learning how to use the potty, sharing, playing with friends, and learning everything she would need to be successful in PreK. This is more than just a daycare. This is the foundation for a great education. Please considered this daycare and become part of the KPLA family!
Sinead Gibbs-MasonAug 8, 2025I absolutely Love this Daycare for my baby girl! After a long hardworking day at daycare my girl be knocked out ! Her being around other infants her age progresses her to move just like them! I love it
