Kids ‘R’ Kids Learning Academy of Champions

Horrible. This daycare is like a Zoo. I picked up my child early once, and they had not warmed up the lunch meal I had sent. It was ice cold. They ignored his food allergies as well and he kept getting sick. There were 25 kids to 1 teacher. I’m pretty sure that is against state regulation. They don’t even monitor the kids and there is no structure whatsoever.

This daycare claims to be a learning center however that is certainly not the case. This facility lacks the proper leadership to run a well organized establishment. They are understaffed because they don’t want to pay the workers for their time. They do not provide any consistency for the kids. The teachers are constantly being switched out. Most of the semi good teachers work half of the day and don’t communicate with the afternoon teachers so neither one can account for anything done with your child while they were away. There is a single point of failure with in the management and they lack the proper leadership and guidance to provide quality childcare. Everything goes through the director however she is hardly ever there. She doesn’t come in until 10am and leaves by 5pm which makes it nearly impossible to get information or express concerns when picking up or dropping off my child. On top of that she is constantly on vacation or «working from home». They claim to follow a strict curriculum but they don’t even do half of the things that are on the curriculum that is posted in each classroom. They put out information on upcoming events at the last minute. They are constantly requesting money for something. They announced picture day and requested that we prepay without even knowing what the finished product would be. I was under the impression that a professional photographer would be taking them so I took a chance. I later found out the the director took the pictures and they looked like something I could have taken myself. The director and the «management team» are family friends which is reflected in their lackadaisical attitudes. In my opinion it is ran like a small back yard cult daycare rather than a professional reputable child care facility. This facility gives the Kids R Kids brand a bad name. I’d like to think that I’m not asking too much by expecting them to provide the quality child care that they speak about on their website and in the handouts. The only good things about this daycare are that they have cameras and a man that goes to each class on a weekly basis and plays music. Oh and there are a few good teachers that love what they do and it shows.
