Exceptional care; dedicated teachers; strong curriculum; tirelessly working administrators. We are so fortunate to have been part of the KA QA community for nearly four years. Our kids leave prepared for their next level socially and academically, and as parents, we leave knowing it will be challenging to duplicate the level of care elsewhere. The open door policy is real, but was rarely needed because of the daily proactive communication by teachers and staff. Heroic doesnt begin to describe the work that was done to keep the school open and operating safely and effectively during the pandemic.

Kiddie Academy has been wonderful since enrolling my son in 2018. The staff is great!! Transparency during the pandemic has helped to ease my worries. Wonderful curriculum to enhance my son’s learning! My son is so happy to go to school! The parent-teacher conferences are a wonderful way to let the parents know how well their child is doing. Wish I could give more stars just to show how wonderful Kiddie Academy has been.

Weve experienced many day cares, but this is one of the best. There teachers are caring and considerate. The facilities are new and absolutely immaculate. And even in the heart of Seattle there is an outdoor playground (theres an indoor one too)! Above all, we appreciate the Pre-K curriculum. Other places are woefully deficient, but here the kids are learning a lot. My son comes home with a smile, at drop off hes happy, and I can trust he has a good start for kindergarten! Highly recommended!

My experience with Kiddie Academy QA was outstanding. From the beginning we were impressed with the cleanliness of the classrooms, easy communication with staff, availability of the director, and competence of the caregivers. I spent hours observing in the infant room when we started and have met multiple care providers. The warmth and care shown to every child stands out most. In addition, care providers are willing and excited to collaborate with parents. The director is also incredibly responsive and knowledgeable, and always has her door open. I have been impressed through and through with this daycare.

We love Kiddie Academy! Our son has been attending for 2.5 years and have always felt he was receiving the best individual, supportive, and connected care in his time there. We like that the facility has lots of space and is always clean, the classrooms are large in comparison to other daycare centers as well. We love the team there and always feel like our soon is getting wonderful educationally driven care with the best team of caregivers you could ask for!

The dedication towards an educational curriculum to help our toddler learn as much as he can now while getting good, nutritious meals and learning proper social behavior in a safe environment. The teachers are attentive, hands-on and show a lot of care for the kiddos in their class and the Director Debbie is the best there is at what she does.

We are so glad that we chose Kiddie Academy of Queen Anne for our sons childcare. Every day we bring him, we feel secure in the knowledge that he will be safe, happy, and cared for like a family member. The staff are attentive and diligent and really partner with us in our sons development. We love the little art projects he brings home, and the photos that the teachers send with his daily reports. We also love being able to watch him play, eat, and nap throughout the day on WatchMeGrow. We would recommend KA without reservation to any friend or family member (and I have)!

We love Kiddie Academy! My son has been here since he was an infant and has loved to go to school everyday. All the teachers are great, especially Ms. Bonnie, Ms. Jen, Ms. Maddie and Ms. Rebekah and has been with a number of the same kids since they were in the infant class! Highly recommend this place!

My daughter has been going here for well over a year now. We have toured probably more than a half dozen Montessories, Daycares and Preschools but nothing compares. I know Seattle has a land crunch but this one has a play area atleast five times the size of the next size down we saw! And it’s smack in the middle of Queen Anne and downtown! The management and teachers are superb and always willing to answer questions and listen to concerns!

My family recently relocated overseas, but my wife and I both can’t emphasize enough how positive of an experience we had sending our toddler son to Kiddie Academy in Seattle-Queen Anne. For the past couple years in the 1 and 2 year old classrooms, Debbie, Eva and all of the respective teachers treated our son like he was their own — kudos to Madie, Shari, Kendall and Kelsie! Our son certainly had his ups and downs, particularly during the early stages (who doesn’t?), but the staff there were super kind and attentive to all our needs. I can look back and recall on numerous occasions when Debbie and Eva truly went out of their ways to address our questions and further cater to our sons learning experience. Another one of their best qualities was the ability to live stream your child’s classroom via online video throughout the day which adds an extra layer of comfort and ease. Without a doubt, I would highly recommend KA to anyone looking for daycare in the Seattle area.

We moved from the east coast to Seattle last fall and was fortunate to find Kiddie Academy of Seattle at Queen Anne for our then 19-month old twin boys. It was the first time the boys attended daycare and the first time they were exposed to an English-speaking environment, and Ms. Debbie and her wonderful staff (Ms. Eva, Ms. Osha, and all teachers the boys have met) made this transition much more easier.The boys experience at the daycare has totally exceeded our expectations. Not only is the facility new, clean, with large indoor and outdoor playgrounds, but more importantly, the teachers have been so loving and caring to the kids. They tell us stories about the boys during pick-up which is the highlight of our day. Since my boys moved to the 2-yr old class, there have been more learning activities and they do a lot of fun artwork. Now when we pick up the boys in the evening, they often sit on the laps of their teachers, reading books together and not wanting to leave. They also show us dance moves and sing parts of songs that give us a big laugh. As parents, this is exactly the environment where we want our kids to grow up in.

We enrolled our daughter earlier this summer when she was just 3 months old. As a first time mom, I was very nervous to make the transition from home to daycare. Thankfully, she’s under the wonderful care of the leadership (Debbie and Eva), as well as her teachers (Eileen and Lay).We toured several daycares and Kiddie Academy in Queen Anne was by far the cleanest and most organized. They are very responsive to email or phone calls (something lots of area daycares struggle with). I also appreciate their thoughtful programming and fun family events (e.g. Art shows, costume parties, etc).As far as “tech”, they have cameras in each daycare room, and an app where teachers share feeding/ diaper schedules, as well as adorable pictures capturing developmental achievements and sweet moments (e.g. snack time with classmates).It’s been a joy watching her grow and thrive under the thoughtful care of her teachers and staff at Kiddie Academy Queen Anne!(As I was writing this review, I received a handwritten note in the mail from Ms Debbie, the executive director. She’s a big part of the heart and soul of KA Queen Anne, and I admire her dedication to the families and staff!)

The thing I like about the Queen Anne KA is that every teacher makes me feel like my child is their favorite. The special attention they give to my kids and me is beyond what I would have expected for a day care of this size. All the teachers and staff are welcoming and friendly. Additionally, we looked into a lot of options for childcare providers for our 1 and 3 year-olds. We interviewed nannies; we visited multiple daycare centers; and we researched options online. Across the board, we were shocked at the cost for two kids to attend daycare, but the KA is right in the middle of what our options are in our location. Theyre not the cheapest, but theyre also not the most expensive. Regardless, the care they give my children and the resources available to me to keep an eye on them all day is worth it.Yes, I would recommend them to anyone looking for childcare in the Queen Anne area.

When I first began to look for day care for my then 20 mo old son I was wondering if a large corporate institution such as Kiddie Accademy would be able to provide a personalized child care experience for our family. The answers is absolutely! The director of the Seattle Accademy Debbie Buzalski is an outstanding leader. Her team of teachers and staff have cared for the needs of our son with utmost care and compassion. They are always ready to do what we request. If our son needed special food, medication, extra warm blanket during nap, extra cuddles etc., they always responded immediately and provided what he needed. His home room teacher Ms. Lolo is an outstanding educator as well. She is able to provide safe and loving environment for the 2 year olds which we all know is not easy. I have been impressed with her ability to teach positive virtues and diffuse difficult toddler situations with utmost patience. The children have plenty of activities to do all day such as arts, reading time, science and music. A big plus to Kiddie Academy in comparison to other day cares is the live video stream WATCHMEGROW which allowed our overseas grand parents to see our son throughout the day. In addition, the facilities are brand new, clean, with plenty of sunshine, dark blinds for nap time, brand new toys and bikes for the playground. I also really like the fact that they have an indoor gym so in the days when weather is rough kids still get to have playtime with the bikes as well. I highly recommend Kiddie Academy Seattle to other parents. Take a tour and see for yourself.

Our toddler (19 months) joined kiddie academy of Seattle 3 months ago. The overall experience is just great. Ms. Debbie, the director is an awesome person. Her experience over decades makes her magical with children. I never thought my kid will be able to nap or accept anyone to change his diapers with his sensitive diaper rash issue. But Ms. Debbie made the joining transition amazing. I think my kid sleeps better and easier aat the daycare.Teachers are so nice, I really like the hygene of the place. I visited many daycares around seattle area, this place is one of the top regarding the hygene.It is worth mentioning that Ms.Osho and Ms Eva are incredibly amazong pillars at this kiddir academy branch. My son gives them flying kisses daily upon checking in.I love the atmosphere of the place and how everyone is dedicated to care for every child in the space.Above all, the open door policy of the director, Ms. Debbie, is one of the most comforting matters. It feels comfortable that I can talk to the Director (With incredible experience) anytime. I may even stop to ask her for some advice for my son. She certainly gave me the best advice regarding my sons nipple bottles addiction and she advised me the steps of how to gradually get rod of the nipple bottles totally. Now, his class teachers are helping in the potty training phase.We got offers at another 4 top daycares in the seattle area lately, but we chose to stay at Kiddie Academy, awesome staff, great facility.I highly recommend it.
