Country Kids Academy

Great Place. Children here are always happy. The staff is welcoming and provide honest and open communication. Would recomend. Read more >

My two older kiddos came through here - they loved it, and we loved having them there. My third is still there, and the standard of care is still outstanding. Read more >

Think Twice!!
Both of my children have gone to this daycare! We even left and came back , however, over the past 6 months we have seen the entire facility start to diminish. A new Director of Operations has taken over (she is the daughter in law to owner Karen.) Since her hire 4 amazing teachers have left and now Country Kids Academy is having trouble staffing their classrooms and is now using a temp agency to staff their rooms which are becoming over crowded classrooms.

This kind of turnover effects a child’s demeanor and their development. It has become very stressful for my 2 YO. He has become frustrated and begun acting out. The solution from CKA was to isolate him (again affecting his development) which I witnessed on several occasions when I dropped in to observe him. During this time, he has started having accidents. He is potty trained and has no... Read more >

Not flexible with anything. Read more >

We were in CKA for more than 4 years and we were delighted with the school. From the moment we started we felt in a professional environment that really cares for the healthy development of our daughter. Teachers really care about the kids. In this center they have the expertise to properly support the children in every face of growing up. We started with our daughter being a toddler and we left with a little child that was ready to face the kindergarten’s challenge (ex.she was learning to read !!!) . After leaving CKA seven month ago we're extremely happy that our daughter is doing great in Kinder. In Country Kids Academy she got a solid grasp of the materials which increased the likelihood of her success. We’ve just can say THANK YOU to this place which made a huge difference in my kid’s learning and social skills. Read more >

I had my daughter there and the teachers are great at what they do BUT the staff is a different matter. The manager and their administration lol if that's what you want to call it suck at what they do. Their fake smiles and wannabe characters are so transparent. I have always gotten attitude from the front staff. I know for sure that the teachers are do well but please please don't waste your time enrolling your child here. One star because of the managers. Even at that I feel the one star is too gracious. Read more >

This place is fantastic! My daughter has been going for years and loves it! Their staff treat your kids like family and they truly show they care about each individual child’s growth and development. I doubt I could find a better place to send her. I absolutely recommend Country Kids to everyone I know. Having personally witnessed crazy parents at several daycares/camps over the years (as most normal parents have), I wouldn’t trust the crazy reviews that are the exception to all of the great reviews for this place. Fives stars - Highly recommend!! Read more >

My husband and I are great fans of Country Kids Academy. We have had both of our children enrolled at Country Kids Academy. I find and continue to find the staff extremely helpful in working together to find solutions in raising our children. My husband and I value education and found the teachers to be extremely helpful challenging our kids to learn. Ms Miriam encouraged our family to have our daughter tested for her advanced reading skills. Found out our kindergartner is reading at a 3rd grade level and comprehends at a first grade level. To simplify the statement she understands the word alliteration in kindergarten. Our son when starting at Country Kids Academy wasn't potty trained and struggled spelling go. Now with the assistance of Country Kids Academy can spell, read Dr Seuss books and confidently shows us everyday what he learned. ....not too mention the stories of... Read more >

We are so excited that our granddaughter is going to Country kids! Ms Rainey takes such great care of our sweet girl and we are so thankful for all she does to care for her. Everyone there is very friendly and always welcoming. Looking forward to many more years at Country kids! Read more >

We contacted Country Kids Academy 4-5 times before going in to enroll our children. We are a white couple and our children are both black. We were asked on the initial phone call if our children were potty trained. We explained that they are but have occasional accidents. This didn't seem like much of a problem. They still recommended we visit the school. We toured the school the week we relocated to San Antonio. Our children were not with us. They encouraged us to sign up several times. We were very honest about our children and all behavioral issues. We wanted to find a good school for our children and we're looking for a place that we were comfortable entrusting with our children. After looking at a number of schools we decided to go with Country Kids.

My husband came in with our children to enroll them. The director took one look at our children and suddenly brought... Read more >

My wife and I love Country Kids Academy. Our kids started there at just 2 years of age and are now on the verge of going to Kindergarten. The staff is supportive, understanding, positive and caring. We have moved through different age class rooms throughout the years, The teachers in each room have all been so wonderful. We never worry about leaving them at school. Lori the director and Karen the owner are also great! My wife and I truly believe choosing this school was a good decision I don't know how we got so lucky to find such an amazing school. If they had Kindergarten here we would absolutely stay. For now we will be attending the Summer Camp and will be back next summer! We HIGHLY recommend them! Read more >

I am taking this opportunity to commend the Country Kids Academy. Both of my grandkids attend the academy and have for the last several years. I have always been impressed with their great staff and educational programs. My grandson is now leaving Country Kids Academy for kindergarten. The academy has definitely prepared my grandson for school. Keep up the great work! Read more >

Just like the other parents, I can't Say enough great things . My grandaughters go to this preschool. When my daughter had to go back to work I was really worried about my grandaughters attending school at such a young age. We talked a lot about me taking care of them or sending them to school. I am SO happy we took the choice we did. The girls are unbelievably happy. Having other kids to interact with has been such a nice thing for them. Before this, we would take them to parks and such to play with other kids. But hands down the benefit of a daily socialization and a schedule has been fantastic. They are always happy, they love the teachers. Daily, they come home and tell us all about the cool projects they did. And my 4 year old granddaughter is almost able to read! The staff is amazing. The school never smells like a "school". I don't know how they do it, but it always... Read more >

We drive out of our way to come here! Daddy used to work close by and would drop off son and daughter. Now, he works elsewhere, but we love CKA so much that we gladly make a little commute. Every teacher and staff member is amazing. We've had a kid in almost every room and have always been happy. Read more >

We had our child there for awhile and saw it slowly diminish and become more about Dollars and less about overall care. Too many kids per workers and after second age group the workers didn't even seem like they liked kids Read more >

My five year-old daughter and three year-old son have been going to CKA for over two years now, and the only thing I am sorry about is that they don't have a spot for my infant son right now. CKA had been an incredibly wonderful place for my children - I credit the teachers for getting my daughter potty trained and they are working well on getting my son on his way. Both of kids have learned so much, and my son amazed me when he came home one day, some months ago, and could tell me the sound each letter of the alphabet makes - that was all done at CKA! In pre-k, my daughter is learning how to write and was taught by her CKA teachers how to write her name. They learn about plants, the human bidy, food groups, you name it!

Every time I've walked into the school in the middle of the day, I can see into my son's class and they are always engaged - whether it's seated at the... Read more >

After a long search for the right school for our son we decided on Country Kids Academy. We toured the school separately and were both under the impression that there were 11 kids to 1 teacher. There is a teacher and an assistant in each room. Turns out they consider the assistant a teacher too, so the class sizes are much bigger than they lead on. My son also began having stranger behaviors after only 2 days, I brought up these concerns and rather than offering to look into my concerns the Assistant Director Kelly, simply stated “two year olds do weird things”. I got this same reply for not one or two concerns, but all three! No explanation, no legitimate care or anything else. She just blew them off. My son would come back from his day at CKA with a strange smell around his face, his behavior became agitated, and worst of all be had nightmares and was no longer sleeping through the...

Love Country Kids! I recommend Country Kids to anyone in the area. The teachers are kind and take good care of my kids. Read more >

I have been in the Early Child Care field for many years as a teacher and as an administrator and this school by far is almost like having your child at home. The staff are warm and welcoming and the Management team ensures that all standards are met and each family is treated with the best care possible. One other unique factor is that the owner is hands on and really loves the school and all the families that walk in the door each day. Staff turn over is very little, in fact the infant room teacher has been with the school for well over 10 years. In fact I would recomend anyone to go by for a tour to see for your self just how great the school really is, Read more >

Both of my boys have attended Country Kids! Love this school! Read more >

I have both my 2 and 3 year old girls here. Karen the owner and the staff have been amazing! I am a harsh critic of schools. This is the BEST school around. I looked at primrose and at La petite. They are nice but they are just big box chains. I don't believe my girls belong in a big box mentality. Country kids is privately owned. I did my homework and checked the safety records with the state. They have 5 stars all around.

I have seen both my girls grow so much in just the last few months. The teachers are all super. Most are young and energetic. Everyday Emma tells me about a great project they did. I love that they DO things. They play with sand, water, flour, they paint, they cook, they put on swim suits and splash around, they sing and dance, they garden. I LOVE that about this place. You will NEVER walk in to see the teachers just sitting and watching. They are... Read more >

I can't say enough about this school. Ms. Jessica is my 3 year old's teacher and she and all the other teachers are very nice. Natalie loves going to school. The classes are small groups, they have an open door policy so I can come visit any time. Natalie loves the food, she is always happy to go and see her friends. They have a very large playground and get to spend a good amount of outdoor time, and they do special events often. The tooth fairy came to the school yesterday and taught all the kids about good teeth brushing skills. Natalie was so excited to brush her teeth at night. The ladies at this school go above and beyond. Everyday the teachers always tell me a little about what they did that day. From nature walks, water play, painting, coloring, singing and dancing I know that Natalie has a full day of fun activities. I would recommend this place to all my friends. Read more >
