Kids R Kids

My children attended Kids R Kids (Cumming) for 8 months and I was really disappointed with the poor and often disengaged management, money focused owners, and consistently dissatisfied staff. The classes were overcrowded and they were unable to retain staff due in large part to their poor management. My child was enrolled in private pre-​k (smaller ratio class and more perks/​education than Georgia pre-​k) but it was brought to my attention, by current and former employees, that the private pre-​k teacher also had to consistently watch preschoolers in her class due to understaffed rooms. They consistently overcharged and I had to communicate the error each time. The field trips for students were not geared toward educational value. The consensus and reputation this facility held (by parents and current/​former staff) is that new enrollment is their top priority, not the well-​being of currently enrolled students. They will not move your child to the next level (when they reach the correct age to move up) unless you harass them to do so. I have witnessed staff yell harshly at children (at various times of drop off and pick up) and be stingy with school material (e.g. coloring pages, snacks, etc.). My children are enrolled in a new child care center and are thriving; learning more than they did at Kids R Kids. I am amazed by the happy staff who greet me whenever they see me, and the eager teachers who want to tell me about my child’s daily progress. I never received this interaction at Kids R Kids (Cumming). I had to initiate communication with staff and consistently ask about their progress… I hate to post such a negative post about a childcare but I think it’s important people are aware of this facility and not be blinded by how nice and modern the facility looks, as those were two things that won me over; I wish I had heard about people’s experience before I enrolled my children at Kids R Kids (Cumming).
