Kiddie Academy of Charlotte-Highlands

We are so incredibly grateful for Kiddie Academy and everything they do for our kids! From the moment we first enrolled, it was clear that the staff truly cares about the well-being and development of every child. The environment is warm, welcoming, and filled with positivity, making it a place where our kids are not only safe but excited to go every day. The caregivers are attentive, kind, and genuinely invested in helping each child grow at their own pace. They provide a great balance of structured learning and creative play, which keeps our kids engaged and excited. It’s amazing to see how much they’ve learned and how confident they’ve become since starting. We also appreciate the excellent communication from the team—whether it’s updates on daily activities, milestones, or any concerns, we always feel in the loop. The peace of mind we get knowing our children are in such good hands is priceless. Overall, Kiddie Academy has exceeded our expectations, and we can’t thank them enough for their dedication and care. We feel so fortunate to have found such a wonderful daycare, and we wholeheartedly recommend it to any parent looking for a loving, nurturing environment for their children. Sincerely, The Chambers-Gainey Family

I can't say enough good things about Kiddie Academy! The environment is always clean, safe, and welcoming. The staff is incredibly caring and professional, and the classrooms are engaging and thoughtfully set up to support learning and development. My child is always excited to go and comes home happy and full of new things to share. I highly recommend this preschool to any parent looking for a nurturing and enriching early education experience.

*Beware of the inflated rating for this location* The academy offered a raffle for discounted tuition in exchange for a 5 star review in April 2025. This is ethically questionable and reflects the lack of integrity at the center. If I could give zero stars for our experience I would. The high turnover of teachers and directors, lack of adequate staffing, lack of communication, lack of curriculum and low standards of care and sanitation were just a few to call out. To top it off, my child had an even worse off-boarding experience after we put in our notice where his cubby was taken away, items were lost with no remorse, he was moved down a room to prioritize newer kids and the academy did not return our calls without escalating to multiple avenues. We are still waiting to hear back on our refund that is owed due to being overcharged. If you are looking for a poor childcare experience and overall chaos then go ahead and enroll.

The teacher and the admins are really pleasant, professional and are always listening to the parents, I perceive. Both of my children (4 and 1) attend and we have no concerns about who we are leaving them with because we are confident they are in good hands. My son in particular has grown in leaps and bounds (he's learning Spanish!!) and loves his teachers. The admins have listened to our concerns about occasional issues and they have worked with us on good solutions that all sides can agree with. We are thankful for Kiddie Academy. Although the teacher turnover rate has been high, it seems that things have normalized as of now, which is great! If you want your child to experience a warm environment where they will be seen and grow, then this place is a no-brainer.

My daughter has been attending this daycare since it opened in 2023, and I couldn’t be happier with the care and attention she receives every day. The staff is incredibly warm, patient, and attentive—not only does my daughter feel safe and loved, but she’s also learning so much! She comes home talking about the new things she’s learned, singing songs, and showing off her artwork with so much pride. I love how they focus on both education and play, and it’s clear they truly care about each child. As a parent, there’s nothing better than dropping your child off and knowing they’re in great hands. Highly recommend!
