My son has been at this daycare for over a year and a half after transfering from a place we were no longer satisfied with. I must say Kids R kids has been a fantastic fit for my child! The teachers a wonderful and truly connect with my son. The administration team is also so friendly and helpful. I know he is safe a cared for as if he were at home. I also enjoy the daily updates, pictures and videos I get from the daycare app. I can really connect with what he is doing in class. Being a teacher I know I can work on those same skills at home. I would recommend this daycare to anyone who who is looking for a great daycare facility!

We are so happy with this school. Our son is so happy and interested in learning because they make it fun. His teacher always has different activities and fun things planned. We also like they are flexible with drop off and pick up times (we are not stressed out leaving the house in the morning 😆). They have a great outdoor space. Everyone there is so nice. My son is happy and thriving which is the most important thing. Thanks Kids R Kids and Mrs Leah!

Choosing KRK Crabapple for our children was one of the best decisions we could have made. The owners, Peggy and Rich, take a hands on and incredibly professional approach to ensuring their team is operating at the highest standards of excellence - and that the children in their care are loved, educated, and cared for as if they were their own. I truly couldnt recommend this group more!

As a longtime teacher at this location I’ve been working with the new owners Rich and Peggy for over 2 years. They are very friendly and have done an excellent job renovating the daycare and taking the steps necessary to create a safe and engaging environment, such as replacing wood chips on the playground with turf, getting all new toys and outdoor equipment, and introducing technologies like “tadpoles” to keep parents involved with their child’s daily activities. Additionally, the front desk staff - Ms Megan and Ms. Leah - are warm and welcoming. Along with them I’ve gotten to know so many wonderful teachers, parents, and children that have made my time here enjoyable!

We’ve been to our fair share of schools in three short years, and this one is the first where I can honestly say it’s a “school” first full-time “daycare” … especially important as your children get older. Our daughter has flourished at Kids ‘R’ Kids Crabapple since enrolling earlier this year. A big part of this is due to her amazing teacher, Ms. Brenda, in the 3-3.5-year-old classroom. There is no denying Ms. Brenda loves what she does and it permeates throughout the classroom. She has mastered the ability to have a structured, respectful classroom, but also one where the kids laugh and have a great time. Our daughter comes home excited to tell us about her science experiment or how she’s learning the ABC’s BACKWARDS! Her vocabulary has expanded well beyond what I thought was possible for a 3-year-old and she not only knows the words, but uses them in the right context. It’s truly amazing to watch. One thing to note is a great school starts with leaders/owners who care, it shows as soon as you walk in the door, in the food that’s served, in the activities that are available, and in the teachers they staff. The Kids ‘R’ Kids Crabapple owners are visible, they care and it shows.

KRK is a fantastic school. It provides a safe and positive learning environment for the little ones. The staff is super friendly. As working parents, we love the enrichment programs the school offers. Our little one has leaned so much there.

We have three children that have been attending this KRK location throughout the years. One in the toddler class, the after school program and now the summer camps. They are absolutely AMAZING! I can’t tell you how thrilled we are with this learning facility. The care and love all the teachers give to our kids is so genuine and the owners and fantastic! The facility is beautiful-my kids love the splash pad and the playgrounds. I can tell from the pictures and videos they send daily how much fun my kiddos have during the day-makes it so much easier to leave them! I highly recommend this Kids R Kids!

We moved to Atlanta this year and this KRK location was one of the first day care facilities we looked at and that we eventually chose as the care location for both our 7yr old (subsequently moved to his school’s aftercare for ease of participating in after school activities) and 3 yr old. Both our boys love this place and it has been nothing short of a second home for them.Our 7 yr old also particularly enjoyed the summer camp here. As for our 3 yr old, special shout out to Ms.Brenda, Ms. Karina, Ms. Elizabeth and pretty much all the other teachers who have made play school so much fun that our little one always wants to go back there!

Best Infant Class!Unlike other centers that just give your child basic care, Kids R Kids Crabapple and especially Ms. Erica in the infant class have gone above and beyond to nurture and care for my child. You can tell when walking through the door that she is providing a safe and stimulating environment. My daughter is very responsive when she sees Ms. Erica which tells me that she is comfortable in her care, that gives me so much peace of mind! Ms. Erica is a natural with children. Her classroom has plenty of space for little ones to crawl around and explore. The webcam feature provided by the school is pretty amazing as well, it’s always nice to check in and see how your little one is doing, I also get several pics daily. Since day one at Kids R Kids the teachers and staff have shown nothing but support and care for my child. Ms. Erica and the staff are always willing to answer any questions or concerns that I have. Check out the infant classroom and Ms. Erica if you want all the boxes checked in your school search - Kids R Kids provides a clean and fun space for kids.

My grandson is three and has Brenda and Caroline as his teachers. He is so happy to come to school to see them! They have really made a difference in his attitude about school. He has learned new songs and sings them at home. He is recognizing numbers and understands sorting. When I come to pick him up in the afternoon, he is at a “station” focused on an activity and not in any hurry to leave! We are very thankful as a family to have our grandson in their care.

My children have been at this daycare for a total of 5.5 years and weve (kids included) loved every minute of it!! My girls are loved on by the staff whether its Megan at the front desk or the teachers... The curriculum is amazing - Miss E, Ms. Sarah, and Ms. Megan have taught my 4 year old how to write her entire alphabet, sound out every letter, and is on the way to reading... All before she even enters Pre-K!! And my 4 year old has so much fun she doesnt even know shes learning! I could go on, but would as a working mother, all I can say is I never had to worry about my children while they are away and that security was everything to me. Thanks KRK!!!

After many months of being unsatisfied and constantly stressed with our previous daycare , I began extensively touring every one in the area to find the best fit for my son. From the moment I walked in to KRK, I felt so welcomed and at ease. The teachers, directors, even the chef (yes, they have a chef) went out of their way to answer every question I had and actually ask about my child as an individual. He does have a small medical condition and they were more than willing to accommodate his needs. My Mom, previous founder of a preschool back in our hometown, was impressed with their curriculum and how they implement it with the youngest of babies. I get a full report every day of what my child ate(which I am often jealous of!),how long he slept, photos of their activities for the day- even drop in magicians or musical guests, as well as fun photos! As a working Mom who also travels a lot, there is nothing more satisfying then pulling up the app to watch teachers holding, playing with, and loving my baby while I am away. The director and owners take so much pride in their jobs and it shows tremendously. Every child is known by name to pretty much everyone in the school. They are so amazing to my son that I sometimes forget that he isn’t the only student in the whole school. The teachers are carefully selected and are passionate about what they do and it’s not just a job for them. The school also does a fabulous job with holiday activities, parties, decorations, and events. It is evident they take great pride in their school and invest in events for both kids and parents. There is no greater decision than finding teachers and staff that will care for your child and love them as much as you. I can honestly say that KRK does! My only regret is not starting him here to begin with.

My little one has been at KRK Crabapple since July of this year. We have been so pleased with the teachers, management, and curriculum. We appreciate the updates throughout the day and being able to monitor via video definitely makes the transition back to work much easier. We absolutely love and completely trust Ms. Casey and Ms. Lichelle. Their communication is fantastic and they always show warmth and love for all of the kiddos. The days are always full of activities and help me as a parent be aware of where my child should be developmentally (and they also give great ideas for home!). The management/front desk staff is very warm and welcoming. Also a plus is that every guest must be allowed in by management so the building is very secure.

I had a great experience working at Kids R Kids and I definitely will miss it. Ms. Jennifer and Ms. Leah have done a wonderful job with making employees feel right at home. I have learned so much from my former employees at Kids R Kids and will miss seeing my former students everyday. I would also like to give a shout out to Ms. Hiral because she goes above and beyond to teach her students. I will definitely miss working with her and I enjoyed every minute of co-teaching with her.

We love Ms. Cassie and Ms. Patricia in the Pre-K class. Our son loves going to school and I have seen improvement in several things including his writing. He was struggling with certain letters and they took the time to help him and its incredibly noticeable! I appreciate the communication as well!

Miss Hiral teaches Pre-K at Kids R Kids in Crabapple and she was the reason our foster daughter succeeded and made it through ready for Kindergarten. We couldn’t be more grateful for the love and encouragement we felt from her. She truly made all the difference in this girls life. We have had the best experience.

We are so happy that our child is at KRK Crabapple! The newly renovated school is a safe and clean learning environment with great staff. They care about our daughter’s cognitive and physical development while giving her lots of love. We love getting daily pictures, giving us a glimpse at what their day looks like!

Our son is in Ms. Cassie and Ms. Patricias GA Pre-K class. We are so grateful to both of them, especially Ms Cassie for taking such good care of our son. Ms. Cassie is very responsible and go extra mile to take best care of not just our son but all the kids in the class. Thank you Ms. Cassie and Ms. Patricia for all that you are doing !

We did a drop in for our one year old for a few days. Leah and Jennifer were fantastic at making me feel comfortable putting our son in a new daycare. When I dropped him off the first day he did the usual crying... I was clearly upset. They called me back about 20 minutes after I left to let me know my son had calmed down, just awesome! I received several emails throughout the day with pictures of my little guy having fun. Karolina, Yulissa, and Lichelle are not only sweet, nice and compassionate they also took excellent care of our son.I highly recommend this daycare for full time care or for drop-ins if you’re in a pinch.

This is our second year going with KRK Crabapple. We absolutely love it! With new management renovating the entire facility, adding technological support, enhancing the menu and curriculum, we will be here for years to come. And the best part is how much the staff loves our little girl, and how much she loves them back!

We have been entrusting Kids R Kids of Crabapple to care for our children for over 4 years. They have friendly and caring staff who are like family to us. The curriculum is excellent. Their playgrounds are wonderful and they take security seriously. Our children have excelled in their care.

What an incredible environment for our daughter! The teachers, staff, and owners are caring, encouraging, nurturing, and focused on learning. Coming from a not so great experience and within a few weeks of being here our daughter went from being afraid to be at school to singing in the car each morning. She is learning so much - at age 3 she can spell her name, recognize all the letters of the alphabet, knows how to count to 14, and is starting to write her first name! Weve been attending KrK Crabapple for 7 months and it truly feels like weve been here since the beginning! Owners Peggy & Rich have done an excellent job and built an amazing team, especially Ms. Elizabeth who made our transition to a new school seamless and will always hold a place in our lives, Ms. Megan who greets us each morning with a smile and hugs, and Ms. Brenda and Ms. Caraline who are positive, loving, and focused on learning each day!

Our child has been at the afterschool program at the Kids R Kids facility at Crabapple for the past two years. Under the old management,there was a constant change in the staff that took care of the afterschool kids, and I would see older kids in a corner with tablets regularly. With the new change in management, there has been a welcome change. I am happy that the kids are given worksheets based on their homework, I see them engaged with different activities and playing outside. There is order and effort thats gone into engaging these kids, glad that aftercare is not an afterthought but an integral part of the services they offer. Thanks to Leslie and Michaela and the entire team for their hard work!!

This is our first year at Kids R Kids Crabapple in the GA Pre-K program and I must say we are very happy. I only have experience with the GA Pre-K classroom and Ms. Cassie and Ms. Patricia are wonderful teachers. Ms. Cassie will take the time out every day to speak with me and answer any/every question I have regarding my childs day. I have nothing but good things to say about this classroom and the teachers. They are doing an awesome job. Our child loves Ms. Cassie and trusts and respects her.

Amazing staff! Our kids have attended Kids R Kids Crabapple since December and we’ve seen tremendous growth, especially in their motor skills and communication, in the relatively short time they have been there. They also tell us they love school which makes my wife and I feel great. We will be enrolling them both in Private Pre-K in August.This location was recently bought by the owners of the Milton Kids R Kids a few months ago. The school is going through upgrades and it seems they are rolling out a new program every week. They are also upgrading the interior/furniture which will be completed soon. If you are looking for a place to take your kids I would highly recommend this location.

We love Kids R Kids Crabapple and highly recommend! We moved to the area a few months ago and started our 2 year old son at the school. I was nervous about the transition, but the entire staff has been so wonderful with him that now he never wants to leave when I pick up! His teacher, Miss. Fiama, is very nurturing and attentive with all the kids and our son quickly bonded with her.We started at the time of the new ownership and have seen many upgrades take place including the interior/exterior, curriculum, technology and food. We love the tadpoles app, so we can see pictures of our son playing and learning along with a recap of his day. It helps with conversation when we get home. We will be starting our daughter in the infant room this April and know she will be in great hands!

Management called us that they cant accept our autistic son anymore because of his inappropriate behavior to the point of being creepy. What is more hurting is when she further asked if my kid has been kicked out from other daycares. This is my kids first daycare experience.

We have been bringing our son here for Pre-K since August and we love it! The staff is so friendly and greets the kids by name as the enter in the morning. They provide healthy,fresh lunch and snacks and also have a vegetarian option if you prefer!His teacher, Ms. Cassie along with Ms. Trica are fantastic! His teacher is easy to communicate with and I feel like I can speak to her about concerns. She is also available to speak about the day in general if you have any questions. They take really good care of the kids here and i highly recommend this establishment for pre-K or afterschool child care.

Review №33

Our experience here started out great but took a terrible turn when we moved into the Ga Pre-k program. The teachers in the Ga-Pre-k class were awful. I would recommend this school for the younger classes but would say run far and fast if the Pre-k teacher is still Cassie. The teacher lacks classroom management skills, communication skills, and the ability to connect with and nurture children. We pulled him out of the school because we could see a change in our child at home as a result of the toxic environment he was in. I would watch the teacher and classroom on the cameras and could see the lack of interaction with the children every day. I would send snip-its to the owner and director addressing my concerns. We tried to work with them to correct the problem but they came up with more excuses rather than solutions. Our son has since moved schools to another Ga Pre-K program and wow what a difference in him being in a positive, uplifting, and nurturing environment.
