Where do I even begin? There are so many things I like...love: The relationships the teachers/care givers foster with the kids, and the love they give them every day. The cheerful environment. The constant, open communication with the parents. The administrative staff who are always available, helpful and so friendly. The excellent education my 6 year old received last year that prepared him so well for kindergarten this year. The amazing kindergarten enrichment program he is benefitting from this year. The joy in my 2 year old son's face when he is at Kiddie Academy. We have had and continue to have such a wonderful experience at Kiddie Academy of West Caldwell!!! Thank you for everything!

The staff knows all of the children by name, not just the ones in their class, and they offer high-quality instruction.

I love the staff, the hours, the fact that I don't have to pack lunch, the half walls in the class rooms so you can walk and see what's going on in each class, the owner, the director, the front desk, the summer camp. I love that KA celebrates every holiday really big and most of all, the curriculum.

Kiddie Academy in West Caldwell is beyond awesome. My review is based on the infant classroom as I have enrolled my son there. Words can not express how grateful I am to find this place. The facility is neat and very new as they recently opened up 8 months ago or so. Their staff is very professional, attentive, loving, caring and look out for the well being of each child. I think my son loves it there and comes home with a huge smile everyday; in fact he naps there more than he does at home at times. The environment/room set up is done in a manner so that the kids play and nap area are separated to ensure that the kids naps are not interupted; this is not found in many daycares and as such your babies may not be able to nap much and hence end up groggy by the end of the day. The teachers (Erica, Melissa, Gina) love the kids and you can truly see that when you go to pick up/drop off your kid. In fact, they even take the liberty to give you a call when your child is not acting himself/herself to give you a heads up in the event you want to take them to the pediatrician. Also, the owner Jill is great too; she is very invested in the daycare and is very prompt at replying back to you when you do reach out to her. Last but not the least, they have watchmegrow web cams; you can view your child whenever you miss them and it's reassuring as a parent to see them playing, napping and being happy when you are not around them. Your child's daily activity, feeding, etc report is digitized and is sent to you via email. Additionally, you may also get your child's picture having fun and enjoying their time during the daytime. Now that's awesome!!! I don't feel guilty or bad when I drop off my son in the morning as I know he will be content and cared for. Enroll your child here, you won't regret it. It's the best decision I made as a mom!!!

My son has been at this Kiddie Academy since we moved to the area last summer. This KA is even better than the one he was in previously near our former home. The communication from the owner, director and staff here is top notch. I love the curriculum that is followed and that lesson plans are sent weekly so we can work together (parents and KA Staff) on what my child is currently focused on. The staff is caring and compassionate, but also truthful and forthcoming with details regarding my child.

Our children have shown remarkable progress since starting at Kiddie Academy. After transitioning from another local facility, we were amazed at how quickly the children adapted and thrived. The learning curriculum for all ages is great and it is apparent that Kiddie Academy is more of an educational center than just another "day care". The staff at Kiddie Academy are not only friendly but also all appear to be well qualified to teach our children.
