I would rate this school 10+ stars if I could!! Beth was fantastic throughout the entire process of sending our first baby to school at 8 months old, during a pandemic. All of the teachers are wonderful and know each child in the school. It was such a welcoming feeling walking in to drop my baby off each morning. My little girl had the biggest smile on her face as soon as I opened the car door and she could see the building. When we would get to the classroom door she would reach out for her teachers to come get her. Never cried once during drop off. Ms Mariella was the most nurturing infant teacher there is. My heart breaks that I no longer get to see her interact with my baby. Communication was the best and we received many pictures throughout the day. Beth was extremely flexible and accommodating for us and helped with our transition to the davie JCC when we moved out to Weston. I don’t have one bad thing to say about this school. It is just a wonderful place to send your child! If we move back East we are transferring back in a heartbeat.

I had to come and leave another review. In February of this year my son started to come. He was in Mrs. Mercedes class. He enjoyed her class so much. Ms.Mercedes loves and treat each child as her own. Over the summer break my son stayed home and traveled with family. With the new school year my son started VPK. I was nervous with my son starting school with a new teacher being that he kept asking for Mrs. Mercedes. However since he started with Ms.Carol, my son LOVE LOVE LOVE going to school. Myself as well as everyone else noticed how much my 4 year enjoy interacting with other children and teachers. As soon as he get out of the car he runs for the door and I have to remind him sometimes beg for a kiss bye. I am truly happy that my son is attending Kids Learning Academy. Every teacher and staff as well as the director shows compassion, they genuinely care and support, they show interest and every child. Thank you to all the the teachers and staff at Kids Learning Academy.

Can not say enough positive things about Kids Learning Academy! Our boys love going to school every day! So much so that when we started, we did half days. We would pick the boys up and they kept asking for more school!!! Full days it is now. We always feel so safe dropping the boys off. We know they are safe and in great hands.Also have to give a HUGE shout out to Miss Valerie. What a fantastic teacher and all around amazing woman. What she doesnt do for her class! Im always so impressed with the themes and the activities the children do. She greets them every day with a huge smile and hugs.Please do not hesitate to send your children here. They will learn amazing things and grow in leaps and bounds!

How I feel about this school words cannot explain. Ms. Beth who is the director is simply amazing. After meeting her immediately I felt the warmth and loving soul she has. Ms. Mercedes I love her as well as my son she treat her students as if they were hers. I love the fact that everyone in the school communicate very well with parents. My 4 year bounced around from school to school for a year trying to find the perfect school. I must say I found that school.

My kid started at this school this year. So far I saw a big improvement in his learning curve. I’m extremely happy with miss Mercedes and miss Amanda. They have been very helpful and supportive. Now I’m just looking forward to bring my youngest kid to this school as well.

My daughter loves this school and her teachers. She’s in the 1yr old class and has progressed so much in her development. The kids play, sing, dance, run outside and do so much more. I can’t thank Ms Thyra and Ms Carlene enough for all the hard work they do every single day. This truly is the hardest and most rewarding job and they do it wonderfully.If you get a chance, take a tour. Get to know the staff. They truly are one of a kind.

The most important thing to me are the teachers in a school, and Kids Learning Academy has the very best. Ms. Mercedes has such a close relationship with her kids and treats them like her own. The school has great values and lets the kids have fun while they are learning. I also like how the classrooms have stations...coloring, housekeeping, building, reading etc. My daughter loves going to school!

I am very proud to have found a school that encourages and promotes early literacy. As a preschool teacher with more than ten years of experience it is my pleasure to be working in an environment that helps teachers become better teachers. Ms. Beth is an amazing director and is very involved on the day to day activities that the children do. All the teachers know every student in the school and it feels more like a family than a work place. This place is just a blessing!!!

Just wanted to thank all of my parents for such a great year. We couldnt have done it without you. Our great, loving team here worked hard to make sure your children had a wonderful learning experience, from the Director on down. We all enjoyed spending this year with your wonderful children. They have all come so far since last August. With our great curriculum, and upbeat staff, they are all ready for their next great adventure- KINDERGARTEN! You should be be very proud of them. I know we are.

I would give this school a million stars if I could! My daughter went to a different daycare from 3 months to 2 1/2 yrs old, and she didnt even learn half the stuff there that she does here. Every week they learn a new letter, number and shape, every month they learn a new composer and author, and at least once a month theres a week dedicated to math or science. My daughter has been in the 3s class since August, and its amazing how much she has learned in under a year! She talks in almost perfect sentences, can count to 15, knows the whole alphabet, can sing numerous kid songs and is now learning how to potty train! With my daughter being the youngest in the class, Ms. Valerie and Ms. T have done an outstanding job teaching her to where she is on the same level as the older kids in the class. All the teachers and the director are super nice and friendly, the atmosphere is always fun and its just an overall great daycare that I always feel safe leaving my daughter at. And any school that has a waiting list, must be doing something right!

I love KIDS, Ms. Beth and her teachers are great. I appreciate and love Ms. Beth’s listening ear, she definitely makes your children feel loved! Ms. Lindita is awesome, she is teaching my 4 year old blending and she is coming home utilizing what she learned. I am very confident my daughter will be ready for kindergarten next year, in addition, their summer camp is amazing. The kids are excited to go and don’t want to leave!

The staff in this school has a special way of putting kindness into words and caring into actions; that is truly rare and deeply appreciated. Ive seen my 3 year old daughter grow by leaps and bounds in the little time shes been here! There arent enough words that can express the joy and comfort this school brings to the children they nurture and their parents world.

My daughters love KIDS Learning Academy. My older daughter just completed VPK and loves Ms. Stevie and Ms. Lena. Both look forward to coming to school. Ms. Mercedes and Ms. Cassie make sure my baby is well taken care of and treat her as if shes theirs. Ive never been so comfortable leaving my children at a school while Im at work. Ms. Beth is ALWAYS so happy and welcoming all day long. She makes sure the children are well taken care of and they are having a blast. I highly recommend KIDS Learning Academy. We love it here!

Love love love this school. My son just started summer camp here and I so wish we would have found them earlier. When I pick him up he is smiling and laughing and always filled with stories and saying funny things about his daily adventures. Ms. Beth (director) is always there, and is one of the warmest and nicest ladies youll ever meet. The teachers there all reflect her warmth and passion about providing a safe and stimulating environment for the children. The summer camp is very cool- each week is a different theme: last week was Haiti- there was music and artwork everywhere- really fun. This week is Disney- obviously a big hit. We are very happy so far with the summer program. Would highly recommend. =)

My daughter has received a lot of TLC from all her teachers during her 27 months in the school.The school has a good curriculum which has always evolved to provide a fun-based learning experience for the kids and better peace of mind for the parents.The teachers are nice and nurturing and are all certified (based on what I was told and what I experienced). Had a great experience with Ms. Beth, Ms. Nicky, Ms.Heather, Ms. Mercedes, Ms. Carlene.My daughter often returned home humming a song or re-enacting a dance move that she learnt at school.We are going to miss this school as we move out of the area..

KIDS learning academy is such a wonderful school. The director Ms. Beth is wonderful as well as all of the teachers. My two year old is thriving. Every day he is excited to tell me all about his day, how he had so much fun and tells me about all of the activities his class did. I highly recommend this pre school.

My son attends aftercare here. This day care is very intimate and connected with your child; he is not just a number. The facility is clean with great enrichment activities like incorporating live animals in the curriculum. Ms.Beth is an angel and runs the facility. Ms.Carol is his teacher and I love her too.

My son attended KIDS since for approx. 3 years. He developed close relationships with all of his teachers and my husband and I were quite satisfied with the school. What really makes me sing this school’s praises, however, was the administrator’s steadfast willingness to work with me. If I had any concerns they were adressed immediately. If I needed help with my son, they were always willing to listen and offer their advice based on years and years of dealing with kids. I am truly grateful to Ms. Beth and her team. Thank you!

I have been a VPK teacher for 2 years and have worked our aftercare program with all ages and I feel so comfortable with the director and team that I work with here! Coming to school is full of excitement every day! As a teacher it makes me happy to see children come in with smiles on their faces as well as leaving with one on. I love working at KIDS and I look forward to a phenomenal summer here!

My son has been attending the school since January, he is 3 years old and its his first time away from myself or grandma as caregiver. They have made the transition period so easy and the school has such a feeling of comfort and fun. We are so thrilled and beyond pleased with the level of care and creativity they take with the kids! Everyday my son comes home singing a new song, with some really neat artwork or tales of a cool science experiment done in class. Thank you Ms. Carol and Ms. Beth for taking such pride in your work, it really shows!

I highly recommend Kids Learning Academy. The teachers are amazing! My children have grown and learned so much in the past two years at this school. They have fun with the kids but also teach them and prepare them for VPK and elementary school! Both of my boys love going to school at Kids Learning Academy and its a great feeling as a parent to have found a school you can trust completely with your kids!

Love this school and its phenomenal staff! When my daughter began the school year she was struggling with separation anxiety anywhere we would go. Ms. Stevie and Ms. Lina were so loving and understanding and built such a trust with her that she now loves the school and doesnt want to leave! We are so excited they offer a summer camp and she will be attending that as well this summer. The director Miss Beth is a gem and has created a team and environment that is a win for any family! Your child will be well educated and exceed all academic requirements to enter their elementary years. Most of all the love and care they give at Kids Learning Academy is something your whole family will remember and look back on as a wonderful experience in your lives.

Our son loves going to KIDS Learning Academy! He absolutely loves his teachers Joanne and Claudine and you can tell that they love each of their students. All of the teachers help each other out and really seem to love what they do! They are the best early childhood teachers I have ever met! As an educator I couldnt be happier with the environment, and art and reading time he gets! We highly recommend!

This is truly one of the best pre-schools ever! My 4 year old has been there since she was 2. All the teachers are very loving and kind. I love that they have a play based curriculum. The kids are always moving and learning. They never make them sit for too long. They have many fun activities and parties planned through out the year, and parents are strongly encouraged to be involved. They make you feel like family here. My daughter asks all weekend if she is going to school the next day! She loves her teachers and her classmates. Thank you KIDS for making this working mom feel better about working full-time.

Our daughter loves going to school here! Her teacher is top notch and loves to sing and read to the class. They get plenty of time to play outside, and make arts and crafts daily. They are learning all about the ABCs, colors and shapes in the young 2-year old class, with no TV ever played.The director deeply cares about her students and teachers and is always on top of things. I would recommend this school to anyone in the Ft Lauderdale and Pompano area.

My husband and I are so happy we found this school. The director is amazing and knows everyone and everything that goes on inside the center.

My two little ones have excelled here in just a month. staff is friendly and the building is secure.Update 12/5/2017This school is run very well. The school has a very good schedule and routine the kids follow. I have one child in VPK and another in daycare. My kids are learning much more faster than they were at their previous school. I must say that Ms. Beth, the director, runs a tight ship. She is always looking out for the kids better interest in learning. I am very happy with my kids being here. Thank you.

I love KIDS Learning Academy! My son went there for 2 years and my daughter, who is now in pre-k, started when she was 18 months old. The director and staff are loving, caring and creative. I will miss KIDS tremendously when my youngest goes off to big kid school. I take comfort in knowing that my daughter is in wonderful hands each day. Ms. Jamie and Ms. Geluse are a dynamic duo that make learning fun through hands-on activities and projects. My daughter looks forward to school every morning! KIDS is truly an amazing school!!!

Beth the administrative person there is so aggressive with teachers. She treated them as animals infront of parents. My kid 2 yrs got suspended 2 times for 3 days each one for biting and when I said I need to see the reason why they didn’t know what to say and start saying my kid is a terrible kid and all those thimgs. Be aware they don’t know anything about how to run a daycare

First let me say: I LOVE Kids Learning Academy!! I always knew everyone who watched my kids so when looking for a VPK class I did my research, KIDS passed with flying colors in inspection and on reviews. When we went to look at the school, Mrs. Beth, the director took the time to show us around and answer all our questions. I knew it was the school for us! I was nervous on my daughters first day but I knew she would be in good hands. Mrs. Jamie and Ms. Geluse are wonderful! I couldnt ask for better teachers, I wish they could be her teachers forever! They are so warm and kind. Their hard work and dedication to the class, to my child, show through their warm welcomes, the lesson plans and through my daughters excitement for school and her level of knowledge. We are so impressed with what she has learned and with her love of school. We couldnt be happier with KIDS Learning Academy. You really feel apart of a family and know the school truly cares about your child.

This review is a long time coming. I didnt have a google account and in general I dont post reviews largely due to time issues and my lack of interest in life online. I have four children who have gone through KIDS, starting in 2012 and up through my last child in spring of 2017. I have been there over the course of two different, both talented, directors (Keila and Beth). I am making the extra time today to write this because as far as preschools go, KIDS is top-notch. I was blessed to have Ms. Lindita as teacher to all my children. Of course I started there as a nervous first-time parent not knowing what to expect or even how to trust others with my child. My second child was another great, but very different, experience. We knew he was having some atypical issues and during that pre-k year he went through the Florida Diagnostic and Learning Resources System. It was such a frustrating year, I was pregnant (had a 1.5 year old daughter and my older son in KG) and wondering if or when my 5 year old would be speaking. The support from Ms. Lindita and the staff at KIDS deserves so much credit for me just making it through that rough time. We were happy to be back in 2014 with my daughter for another wonderful experience and then finally again last year with my 4th child. I wanted to say here that one of the great things I have seen over the years is that, despite the changes in Florida State curriculum and the pressure to compete with other schools, KIDS finds a really good balance for each childs needs. Some kids are ready to push ahead and exceed milestones, some (like my second born) are barely ready for phonics. My third-born had anxiety issues... I just cant say enough how well-rounded the approach was for all of our children was. It was never a straight-line approach. I always saw the teachers finding ways to overcome challenges, new curriculum efforts each round, and keeping the kids emotional education as a big part of pre-k is important to the staff... which, sadly, I think is generally being pushed out because of the pressures schools face. Oh, and all 4 of my kids were very well prepared for Kindergarten, even my son who wasnt speaking : ) So I made this Google account today, in order to finally post here. I really wanted to do it sooner, but most days I barely make it with all that has to be accomplished. Overall, I have found that families have a variety of ideas about education and it can be hard to find a safe, loving place you can entrust with your child. Be sure to keep KIDS in your list of schools to check out.
