My 4 year old has been attending Kid Academy for 3 years and we absolutely love it! He surprises us with all that he learns. The teachers are great and communicate well with parents. The school always put on events that are fun for the whole family. I believe my child will be well prepared for kindergarten thanks to this pre-school.

I have never encountered such a wonderful place for children. The staff is always so welcoming and accommodating. My daughter has been going there for a year now & she loves it. I am always telling people how much I love Kid Academy and recommend anyone with small children to go there.



Sincerely,

A wonderful facility. My daughter has been going there for a year now and absolutely love it. She is thriving and has built solid relationships with the other children and the teachers there. The staff is always happy and willing to help however they can. I am constantly referring other parents there and raving about them to anyone who will listen. Definitely one of the best childcare/preschools I have ever laid my eyes on.

AMAZING! If i could give a million stars i would! My child has learned so much being at Kid Academy. Everyone at Kid Academy is sweet and welcoming. They love my child as if he was their own. He is only 3 and can count and identify all numbers. He knows his letters, and can identify them as well. He is also writing his numbers 1-5. I swear this school is the best on the coast. I really am thankful for this school and their staff. Im just so pleased that my child is so welcomed and gets to do all he does. They have field trips all the time, and the children get to experience so much. Im excited for our Christmas play and spring play of Aladdin. Y'all rock! Thank you for all you do for my family!

Love Kid Academy!!!

My oldest daughter graduated from Kid Academy 6 years ago and my youngest will graduate next May. Both have received lots of love and attention from teachers and staff of Kid Academy. I feel very safe with my girls there. There is always something exciting going on with either a Holiday party, field trip or play for the kids. Definitely the best Pre-School/Day Care around. The kids learn so much!

i registered my child in April of 2014 to secure him a spot for the summer, because you know they go FAST..meaning he would not start until June. I paid 153$ to secure him a spot. Well the beginning of May we found out we will not be here for the summer and I withdrew him BEFORE he even started and with plenty of time for them to fill the spot. The deposit was non refundable, so I just gave them 153$ for nothing really. So be warned, make sure you are certain about having your kid go there regardless of unforeseen circumstances you will NOT, I repeat will NOT get your money back! Very upset

The school is very clean the teachers are welcoming and embrace the students from day 1. I reseached all the schools before choosing Kid Academy, and I have found that they are the best in Gulfport. My daughter as grown while attending, and I have been very pleased with her care. I would refer this school to anyone that asks.

Kid Academy truly lives up to their "Gulf Coast's Premier Preschool" motto. When looking for daycare with our children there was no question on who we would trust. The staff is always so kind, caring, and loving to each and every child that is on their care. Not only is it fun for the little ones, but Kid Academy also involves the whole family with their Christmas show, spring show, and game show nights. Kid Academy should be every parents first choice when searching for daycare.

My daughter goes to Kid Academy and she absolutely LOVES it! She learns something new every week. I have watched her personality and her vocabulary develop week by week. She loves going to "school" every day, even though she is only 21 months old. She claps every morning when we pull into the parking lot! She gets to interact with children her age and she is forming friendships everyday! Her father and I could not be happier with Kid Academy!!!

I absolutely love Kid Academy, I feel 100% safe with my children in their care. I have two boys currently enrolled there, the Kid Academy staff is fantastic and everyone there goes above and beyond to make sure they enjoy the time spent there while also providing them with an outstanding curriculum which gives them a sense of accomplishment and confidence entering into kindergarten. I could not even begin to give enough glowing accolades to Matt Dickens (owner) and Holly Ford (director) for everything they do, they are truly a gift and are so deeply appreciated. Ms. Kiwana, the teacher for the 4-year-old class, has always been outstanding with my little guys even on the mornings they were grumpy and wanted nothing more than to spend the day with mommy, she's simply wonderful and her patience amazes me. As a divorced, working mother of three boys it is an immeasurable comfort knowing that, while I am unable to be with my little guys, they are in the best care possible.

Kid Academy

If anybody has any concerns on where to send your child, this is the place to be. Kid Academy has been the best influence on my son. His growth and education and excelled tremendously since he has attended this school. I would recommend this place to everyone.

Excellent -Kid Academy

My name is Jamie and all 3 of my kids either went to or currently still go to Kid Academy. My wife and I are in the military and have been to a lot of day cares in the last few years because we move so much but my son Cameron loves Kid Academy and very sad to be leaving it behind to go to elementary school but is excited because he is prepared for his next step in elementary due to the time that Ms Gayle, Mr Matt, Ms Holly and the staff spent preparing him and his class to take the next step! The Kid Academy is the best school we have been to in the past 5 years and I would recommend it to anyone considering sending their child there to learn.!

Overall
Great preschool

Our son has been attending Kid Academy since he was 6 weeks old and he will be three in a couple months. We have been more than pleased with the care and compassion exhibited by the staff. The staff addresses even the smallest questions and concerns very quickly. Our son enjoys going to school . We know he is in good hands. He has learned so much more than what I expected. I would recommend Kid Academy to anyone.

Kid Academy is the BEST Preschool on the MS Gulf Coast! The owner Matt Dickens is hands on in everything they do. He and Holly (director) are ready and willing daily to meet the needs of the children there. The curriculum in each classroom will give your children the skills needed to start kindergarten ahead of the game. The teachers are AMAZING!!!! (MS. Gale you ROCK!!!! :) Our daughter loves her teacher and can't wait to go each day to play and learn with her friends. During the summer they go out of the way to make your child have a great time with field trips weekly, themes, and adventures the children can't wait to learn about. When we moved to the MS Gulf Coast we didn't know anyone. I was afraid that we would not find a preschool that would meet our expectations. Kid Academy is CLEAN, FRIENDLY, SAFE, EDUCATIONAL, and FUN!!!! There is no other place I would send any one of my children than here!

Kid Academy is a true pre-school. The directors, the teacher, and the entire staff truly care about the children and offer a great program. Plus, everyone is professional and the facility is super clean. It always smells so clean. Kid Academy has resolved my past problem of having to worry about my child throughout the day. I'm not someone that usually writes reviews but I think finding the right pre-school is so important and there are so many places out there. If you're looking right now for pre-school add Kid Academy to your list to check it out. They are really comparable with prices of the other facilities I looked at too.

This place is a true pre-school. From one parent to another I'm telling you check out Kid Academy before you make a final decision when searching for a childcare with a true pre-school atmosphere. My child even takes weekly tests preparing him for Kindergarten next year.
