Island Kids Academy

This daycare is very disturbing. I’m so grateful my nephew doesn’t go there anymore. The staff are not friendly or helpful. Would highly recommend alternative care.

Teachers mailing it in, they are tired all the time. They are short with kids and the whole environment is not conducive to teaching.

Wonderful establishment. Very professional administration, great caregivers, safe, lots of staff. I feel my daughter is very well taken care of here and I would recommend to anyone.

My son went there for 6 months and I found the staff and managers to be very accommodating and wonderful. They took my on needs into consideration and worked with all the children to create an inclusive, loving environment that I felt safe leaving my child in. We left the centre because my son needed one on one care and attention for his health.

Great place! Staff is always so kind and helpful. They are extremely interactive with the kids. My daughter loves going here! highly recommended.

My child loves this daycare, staff is so helpful and friendly, I most definitely recommend ika as your choice for child care.

Please beware. My 5 year old daughter was kicked out after I questioned the head teacher. My daughter threw up and it was clear it was from eating a plant on their property as it was a one off with no other symptoms (my son had the same snacks that day as she did and was not ill). I asked that they check on the plants after I learned that she did consume a plant on the site shortly before she vomited. The head teacher said this was evidence that I did not trust the staff, refused to admit it could be from a plant despite all of the evidence and after nearly 4 years of my daughter being in their care without any prior incidents, informed me both of my kids would need to leave their facility. Only after I literally cried to the manager and owners did they agree to keep my son in the daycare sectionAnd it was only because I had no other option as I worked full-time.The lack of dialogue or compassion was heartbreaking to me as a parent of a very well-behaved daughter. I was later told by other staff that the head teacher holds excess power and literally coerced her staff into agreeing with her regarding this decision. They feared being ousted themselves. If you can avoid this centre, do so at all costs. This exact situation may not happen to you but it speaks volumes about the lack of real compassion for the children and the families. The trauma that the head teacher and the centre itself caused after 4 years of loyalty still causes me mental anguish to this day.
