Let me tell you about our experience with Kidz Academy Home Daycare – it’s like finding a second family! From the moment we met Ilyana, we knew this was the perfect place for our little one. It’s more than just a daycare; it’s a warm, welcoming environment where our child feels right at home. Ilyana’s genuine care and personalized attention make all the difference.

Philosophy
At Kidz Academy Home Daycare, our philosophy revolves around the transformative power of play in early childhood development. We believe that play is not just a pastime but a fundamental tool for learning and growth. Through play, children explore, experiment, and make sense of the world around them, developing crucial cognitive, social, and emotional skills in the process.
Our play-based approach prioritizes hands-on experiences and child-led exploration. While we do not adhere to a rigid curriculum, we provide a rich and stimulating environment where children are encouraged to follow their interests and engage in activities that spark their curiosity. Our program values kindness, respect, and inclusivity, fostering a supportive community where every child feels valued and empowered to express themselves freely. At Kidz Academy, we invite parents to join us in embracing the joy of play and laying the foundation for a lifetime of learning and discovery.
