Kids 'R' Kids Learning Academy of Hixson

My son has been going to kids r kids four now almost two years. He started in miss Parker room I believe it 400. she was so great with him even with his special needs. we were sad when she moved rooms but little did i know the next teacher miss Lexi really help change my son and get him on the right track. I don’t think he would be where he is at if it wasn’t for her and miss shiloh. I truly miss Lexi and Shiloh as my son teachers. He is now in miss Rachel and London room they also been amazing and understanding of his needs. Anytime I ever had concerns about things the staff have always been great even miss Natalie and miss Amanda in the front office. I recommended this school because one they have camera so you can look at your child. having a child with special needs i want to make sure i have access to see him and this school gave me that opportunity. Thank you like I said the staff is amazing miss Lexi and Shiloh are the best from my experience.

On the first day of care here, I arrived to pick up my son in the toddler 2.5 year old room, both workers were seated at the kids table while the children ran wild. My son requested to use the restroom before we left, I accompanied him into the restroom where I found 2 children unsupervised. The lack of basic sanitation in the restroom was absolutely appalling. There were packs of wipes everywhere, diaper cream accessible in the floor, water on the floor, wet toilet paper in the floor, the toilet was leaking when flushed, and pee all over the toilet seat. My son almost fell in the floor. Both of the unsupervised children left without washing their hands and the workers did not say anything to the children about washing their hands. My son washed his hands and we left. The next morning the worker served my son a half a muffin she broke in half with her bare hands with out washing or gloving. This is dangerous. My children were withdrawn that day. As a result, both my son and daughter (almost 1) have hand foot mouth. I almost took my son to the ER last even because he was writhing in pain all night. There are serious consequences with our children due to this negligence. I discussed my concerns with Natalie the director but did not feel my children were safe at this center. Do not send your children here!

I have had my son here since he was 12 weeks old. He is almost 2. We have had wonderful care and he has been very well taken care of. All the teachers there know him by name. We are always greeted with a smile and a hello when we go in. His teachers have all been willing to talk to us when discussing him reaching milestones. Emily and Ashley in the infant classrooms are amazing! They really love all of the babies in their classes. We even use one of the teachers as our regular babysitter and trust her in our home. I am not going to say we haven’t had issues but every time we brought something up it was addressed and fixed. Management is willing to work with you and they care about the concerns of parents.

Can’t recommend Kids R Kids enough! Our son has been going to Kids R Kids since he was 12 weeks old. He is now 3 and absolutely LOVES Ms. Lexie, Ms. Shiloh and Ms. Kaitlin. These girls deserve awards for hanging out with a bunch of 3 year olds all day, am I right? They have been extremely attentive to our sons development (and the other kids as well). They have made a huge impact on our current potty training journey. It is comforting to hear our son talk about his teachers and tell us how they interacted with him. For example, when asking how water day was, he became super excited to tell us how Ms. Lexie was playing chase with them outside. I’ve walked in numerous times seeing Ms. Kaitlin practicing numbers, animals and memory recall activities. Oh and of course Ms. Shiloh is always interacting, playing, teaching and singing with these kids. Any time we’ve had questions/concerns - Mrs. Natalie and Mrs. Amanda have been receptive and have followed through with a plan and/or follow up.

My daughter attended Kids “R”Kids from kindergarten through her elementary years for after care and summer camps. We loved all of the activities the school age kids were able to participate in. I now have a 3 year old who started there at 9 weeks old. The teachers have been wonderful and communication between teachers and front desk staff is amazing. The classrooms and facility is always clean and inviting. If you are looking for a place to send your children where they will grow and learn, I highly recommend Kids “ R” Kids!!
