KIDS ACADEMY INC.

As an early intervention specialist, I spend a lot of time visiting young children in their daycares. I have been pleasantly surprised at how well run this particular center is. The leadership team is incredibly knowledgeable about the children in their care and is able to give relevant helpful feedback about the child/children I am there to visit. The classroom teacher's interactions and communication with the children is some of the best and most supportive I've seen in a daycare in many years. The center has developed healthy enriching routines that are woven throughout the day as evidenced by the children's responses to clean up song music, engagement with various songs and fingerplays during circle times, and successful transitions from one activity to the other. I've been pleased observe thoughtfully constructed activities that are filled with language, fine motor, gross motor, cognitive development, and more all while the children feel that they are just playing. The center is clean, inviting, well-lit, beautifully maintained, and staffed with caregivers who remain consistently predictable and the same so that children are able to build rapport with their teachers. The population of children attending the center is also incredibly diverse and includes families from all walks of life, cultures, faiths, socioeconomic backgrounds, and abilities. It is abundantly clear that this is a center that welcomes and includes all children and treats each one as individuals deserving of respect, acceptance, and love.

As an early intervention therapist I always recommend kid's academy to my families who need care for their children. I have been in all 3 locations for many years now and have always had good experiences while there. The staff is very accommodating and willing to take suggestions and meet the needs of the children I service. The new location is beautiful! Check them out!!

My 3 boys attend Kids Academy of Wentzville. It has been nothing short AMAZING. The teachers in the school-age room are extremely patient, organized, and understanding. The activities and field trips are age appropriate and inviting for the various age groups. Patti and Marisa made the enrollment process quick and easy, my kids were able to transition into the summer program with no issues.

The facility itself was clean and the school seemed nice overall, but there were several safety concerns that made me uncomfortable as a parent. The older children’s classroom was great atrium/play area, while the 4-year-old classroom had no door to the room and only one bathroom in each of the classroom. They told me that they had two in each classroom but the reality is that the classrooms themselves had one and the other bathrooms were in the atrium. 16 kids and one bathroom in each classroom isn’t enough. My BIGGEST concern is that there are no cameras anywhere in the daycare. Parents obviously do not need direct access to cameras, but having surveillance in place provides accountability and protection for both children and staff in the event of accidents, injuries, or allegations of mistreatment. In 2026, most parents expect licensed childcare facilities to have proper camera systems for safety reasons. I believe transparency and accountability are extremely important when trusting others with your children, so this is something parents should be aware of before enrolling.
