Kiddie Academy of Port St. Lucie

The staff was very friendly, and the director was as well. I loved my son’s 3 year old teacher Ms. Tiffany I felt that she really wanted work on the development of my child one on one but unfortunately she had too many kids in her class with the assistance of one other teacher. In my opinion the ratio was horrible for his age range but the director would say otherwise. I watched the cameras often and saw that the kids ran around mostly with a teacher taking a few kids to the side for activities at times. My son just turned 3 and I felt that he needed some work with tantrums but they expected him to be reacting as a 5 year old to certain things. No child is perfect but the director was quick on her feet about removing him instead of working with us as the parents to implement some type of structure within his classroom as we do at home. She smiled, she called him cute, she acted like she knew what she was talking about but had very little solutions to help me keep him under their care comfortably. The numbers meant more to her than the development of the kids. It is all understood that biting, pushing, and tantrums are hard to work with but he was 3..........that’s what they do and they have to be taught otherwise along with the parents at home. The teachers were not able to work with my child due to the number of children in his class and that’s bottom line. The director has 30 years of experience but i surely couldn’t tell. My parents also agreed. I would not recommend this daycare to anyone unless they have a child for VPK.

I have made multiple attempts to tour the school, to speak to the director but I haven’t received anything. When I called, I was told that Due to Covid, I couldn’t tour the school (which is understandable) but I could do the virtual tour on there website. I assured the person at the daycare facility that it wasn’t offered on the website. I told her I was currently on the website and I couldn’t find it. She as well went looking and couldn’t find it. She got my name and number and said she’d call back. Never did. I made another attempt a few days later. Was told the director was in a meeting and would call me back. Never did. So I don’t feel as thought if something were to happen to my child that I would get a quick response from the director or anyone in the office maybe this daycare will be good for somebody else unfortunately I do not feel comfortable bringing my child here which is upsetting because I was Really excited about the school

Garbage. No more words then just garbage. The new Director is awful and uses long commute times as an excuse.

I’ve taken my children to many day cares and this is the BEST in Port St. Lucie by far!nI love this school . I will highly recommend them! They care so much about my children .nI love how clean the school is.nI love how they care so much about my children’s education and well-being.nI love how they email me pictures of the fun daily activities they do. I am grateful to have found this daycare because I can goto work knowing my children are being taken good care of and my children are happy.

I called to get more information about the facility, Ms. Karen answered the phone & I heard her literally slam the phone in my face. Very rude and unprofessional. I got the information I needed. My child won’t be going here.
