Kiddie Academy of St Johns

We’ve had a wonderful experience with Kiddie Academy. My son’s teachers were always sending photos and videos and you could tell the kids were having a great time and learning a ton. They really encourage the kids to be themselves and build their confidence. I loved how diverse this school is both teachers and the kids. All of the staff are excellent. They are caring, the communication was always clear and we never had any billing issues. Kiddie Academy made it possible for both my husband and I to work our full time jobs and have the peace of mind that our kids were cared for, safe, and getting prepared for school. I highly recommend this facility.

Our daughter has attended Kiddie Academy for several months, after previously attending a different daycare in Nocatee. Our experience with Kiddie Academy has been incredible. Our daughter was previously very anxious about school, crying every morning. She's a different kid at Kiddie Academy -- she actually enjoys school now and asks if she can go on the weekends! She's still shy in the mornings, but her teachers are awesome and make sure she has space to adjust before diving into activities. We also really appreciate the frequent pictures and updates throughout the day and have found the people at all levels to be excellent communicators. We're super happy to have found Kiddie Academy and recommend it to anyone.

I could not be more thankful for this school. We have 3 children enrolled full time and have been one of the longest attending families in their facility. The teachers truly care for each of the children - tailoring to the child's need. The children are surrounded by teachers who are a constant positive influence. The director and assistant director go out of their way to find and employ the best of the best. Their summer camp has evolved and is something my kids look forward to attending year after year. In addition for a Mom who works full time in a demanding schedule - Kiddie Academy also offers transportation to our elementary, dropping my kiddos off in the morning and picking them up in the afternoon. What a lifesaver this benefit has proven to be. We are so thankful for the positive educational impact I have seen in my kids over the years from the cultivated Kiddie Academy curriculum.

My daughter has attended Kiddie Academy for almost a year now. Well today my daughter was feeling a little separation anxiety and nervous about going into the classroom. Mrs. Val came over and gently told her that she didn’t have to go in right away—they could take a little walk instead. That really lifted her spirits. But as I walked away, I noticed she seemed upset again. Then I heard Mrs. Val say to her, “It’s okay, you are loved, you are safe,” along with other kind and comforting words. Hearing that brought tears to my eyes. Our family values mental and emotional well-being deeply, and knowing that my daughter is in an environment where that is equally supported means everything to me. It would have been easy for someone to brush off her feelings or just say, “You’re fine.” But instead, Mrs. Val showed real care and compassion. She truly made my morning, and it’s clear she has a special gift when it comes to connecting with kids. Thank you for showing such kindness to my daughter. I wanted to share this moment because the love, patience, and warmth Mrs. Val showed is exactly what people of all ages need more of in their lives.

Our family has been a part of the Kiddie Academy of St. Johns community for several years now, and we couldn't be more grateful for the experience. Our daughter started attending when she was three years old, and our son joined the infant room at just 12 weeks old. Over the years, we've had the opportunity to experience every classroom, from the infant room to VPK and now summer camp. Throughout this journey, we have always felt supported and valued by the entire staff. Our children genuinely love and care for their teachers and staff, and the feeling is mutual. The dedication and commitment of the teachers are evident in the way they show up for our family, whether it's attending our daughter's softball games, checking in on us, or most recently, helping guide and educate us on getting speech and behavior assessments done for our youngest. The staff has truly partnered with us and our son's therapists to ensure he receives the best care and support, making the most of every day. Kiddie Academy of St. Johns has been with us through our happiest and hardest days, and they have become an extension of our village. We are incredibly thankful for our KA tribe and the positive impact they have had on our family’s lives.
