  • Cannot say enough amazing things about Kiddie Academy (Lacey). We had to transition our children from care with my mother until she became terminally ill. My daughter was barely a toddler when we started taking her there. The kindness and loving nature of the staff made the transition very easy. Every single one of the staff here truly cares for the kiddos. The staff were great at communicating with us. We never had any concerns when bringing our children to their care.

  • We absolutely LOVE this learning center! Our son started here @ 12 weeks and attended until 2.5 years old. (The only reason we left was because of a military move). Our son absolutely THRIVED under their care. The entire staff becomes family and love your kids as their own! The teachers were so transparent about everything and any time I had a question or issue (which was hardly ever) the directors took care of things right away. I love the learning structure and how there’s age appropriate curriculum for every class and sooo many activities for them to do every single day! The cameras and security system is also a huge perk! We love Kiddie Academy so much that we transferred to another one in Texas. If Washington was our home for a few more years, our son would’ve stayed until he out-aged the facility. There were literal tears on our last day because of how much we adored this academy! PS: If you are a military family using Childcare Aware - Kiddie Academy has everything ON POINT with approving attendance and ensuring funding is submitted on time each month so that you are paying a consistent amount each week. Not all childcare facilities do this process with ease.

  • Do yourself and your child a favor.. However long it takes, get on their wait list!!! We are forever grateful knowing that whenever our son was in that building, he was safe, he was loved, he was cared for and he was able to cope with his emotions. We loved and appreciated the insane level of communication from his teachers and the directors. We are super grateful for their level of patience. We love that staff members that are not even his teachers know his name. They have an amazing team here with an excellent curriculum. Our son has learned and developed so much over the past 18 months and we wish he could stay there a little longer...but Army!!! Thank you Kiddie Staff!

  • Hi, Since my son's care is coming to an end at Kiddie Academy I will like to leave my review. First, I love every single one of the ladies at this facility specially those that have care for my son (he is a trouble maker) they had the patience and love for him and I do appreciate every single conversation they had with him and the way they discipline the kids. Also, my daughter does summer camp and she loves her classroom and her teachers. It's been more than a year having my kids at kiddie academy and it is sad to leave but is about that time to start school. I highly recommend this school, the activities and learning techniques are amazing and very educational. All I wish is blessings for everyone at Kiddie Academy. Thank you, Gigi Lemes

  • Highly recommend Kiddie Academy to anyone looking for a nurturing, educational childcare. The teachers and management staff work diligently to insure the individual needs of each child are met and that the parents feel confident leaving their child here while they are at work. Having open communication, daily reports and cameras in all the rooms provides additional comfort for the parents knowing that their child is being cared for by loving staff members. The teachers are dedicated to providing a safe, comfortable environment with fun daily activities for the children to learn and grow in their class. It's evident they truly care and want the best possible experience for all the families enrolled here.

  • Of all the daycares my 3 children have been to, Kiddie Academy was by far the BEST childcare center I have ever experienced. My son attended Kiddie Academy of Lacey for the last 3 years. He started around the age of 1 and we just recently moved so we had to take him out. He does not stop asking for his friends or teachers! I love how they taught by example and treated all the kids with respect, compassion, and fairness. The amount of attention and detail they give to each child is incredible. In my son's conference, I was amazed at how much information his teacher had for us and the amount of time she spent working with him on things he struggled with. They get children excited and ready to learn everyday by singing songs, doing science experiments, making projects, etc... I knew each morning when I dropped him off, he was safe and happy, which gave me peace of mind! I can only hope to find a new daycare that will hold up to the great experiences we had with Kiddie Academy. I would recommend this daycare center to anyone and everyone!
