My son went here from ages 2 - 4 and was able to keep the same teacher, Ms.Anna, who he loves, for most of that time. That is almost unheard of in high turnover role like childcare. I know she, the other teachers, and Ms.Usha truly cared for my son. He loved his time there because of the environment they worked hard to create

Kiddie Academy of Dunwoody-Chamblee is definitely worth touring if you’re looking for a daycare. Usha, the director, is very kind, respectful and truly listens to families’ needs. The teachers are caring with the kids and I really appreciate the picture updates throughout the day.

My son really enjoyed his time there. Great staff that were patient with my son and made me feel comfortable with him being there. I love the updates via the app and daily reports. The artificial grass vs actual grass was great for clothes and shoes with no stains. Decent parking spaces and security measures. Great location and easy to find or as a quick detour to 285 or drop off older kids to nearby schools. The check in system at the door for security. Gates and external doors are always locked and functional.

There are truly no words for how amazing this location is!! One of the best schools if not THE best in town. From the teachers, the owner, Ms Usha, Ms Robyn, front staff greets you upon arrival every..single...time, they all address your child by name, the security of entrance, I've witnessed the teachers show these kids so much love, we couldn't have chosen a better school to prep my daughter for elementary during her Pre-K & Pre-K 2 enrollment. The activities, the resources, the updates, We really can't thank you all enough for the experience, we will miss you!
