Kiddie Academy of Almaden Valley

Enrolling at Kiddie Academy of Almaden Valley was the best possible decision we could have made for our daughter. She attended from age 21 months to 5.5 years, and it was an absolute joy for our family to be a part of that community. It’s hard to put into words the effort the staff puts into the educational theme of each week, “above and beyond” would be an understatement. They deck the whole school out for every holiday as well, it’s just such a fun, supportive and nurturing environment for kids. There are so many little touches they put on everything to make it special. A healthy breakfast, lunch and snack is served daily by their in-house chef. There are so many fun little extra activities you can choose to out your child in like dance, soccer, Kung fu and piano. In summer they have even more extra fun activities for the kids like petting zoos, visits from different careers, water and foam play and more. It’s sparkling clean and very professionally run. I literally could go on forever about what a positive place this is. We are devastated to have to leave, but it’s time for kindergarten.

I would highly recommend this daycare to anyone in the South Bay area. My child has been attending for almost two years now. The live security camera was a major factor in my initial decision, and it has since proven to be the right choice for my child. They offer a variety of activities each month, the facility is very clean, and the teachers are caring. Most importantly, the owner, Jennifer, is very attentive. Whenever we have a special request, she does her best to accommodate us as long as it benefits our child's development. I am very glad that my child has spent their early years at this incredible daycare.

Our personal experience overall has been good and feedback from our daughter has always been positive. We have always found all staff warm and welcoming towards our family and our daughter for the last two+ years (her stay from age 2-4). She has thrived in this nurturing environment, and I can see the positive impact it has had on her social and emotional development. She has done soccer, kung fu, performing art, and piano lessons. This has allowed her to try many new things and grow with her community. The curriculum is well-rounded, incorporating play-based learning that keeps the kids engaged and excited about coming to school every day. You'll see the exterior and interior decor change along with educational lessons or cultural holiday recognition. I appreciate the emphasis on creativity and exploration, which has sparked my child's curiosity and love for learning. Communication with the teachers was excellent. They provided regular updates on my child's progress and were always open to discussing any concerns. I know these positions are NEVER easy and we always made sure the teachers knew we appreciated them. She leaves with memories of her times, teachers, and classmates that have become her best of friends.

We enrolled our one year old baby in this daycare for one month, but because our baby was not ready to start daycare, we had to modify our plans. The daycare staff was incredibly understanding and accommodating throughout the process. Their flexibility and responsiveness to our baby's needs were commendable. Although our time was brief, we felt supported, and our baby's well-being was a priority. We appreciate their adaptability to individual needs."

Could not have chosen a better school for my daughter. It is slightly pricier compared to other schools, however, the quality of care doesn’t come close. I am amazed how school subjects are integrated into concepts that make it fun and educationally impactful for all ages. The teachers are wonderful, the owners take a hands on approach, and the school is fully transparent which gives me 100% peace of mind. They don’t miss a beat, and I always feel very informed especially with their daily reports and fun photos. Thank you Kiddie Academy for all that you do for children!
