“My son started daycare at 15 months old. He was born during Covid time without seeing many people outside from home, and he was a little boy who would cry whenever he saw unfamiliar faces, so I was quite nervous about how he would adapt. I am so glad I chose Just Kidz Albany. Every day when we drop him off, the moment I open the door, all the teachers warmly welcome him—it’s such a heartwarming feeling. Ruby, his primary teacher in Kiwi room has been amazing. She consistently comes over to carry him from me or my husband, which gave him a strong sense of security from the start. Thanks to her care and the supportive environment from all other teachers, he has adapted to daycare life much more smoothly than I ever expected. Now, he nearly turns to four, and he enjoys going to daycare and has made some great friends. Every teacher we’ve met has been friendly, responsible, and truly passionate about their work. Choosing Just Kidz Albany has been one of the best decisions I’ve made for my son.”

“Highly Recommend! Justkids is not just a daycare for my kids. They provide a fantastic, incredible learning experience to every kids. I love how the teachers put efforts for the kids to have something to learn everyday. They are always welcoming, friendly and approachable where my kids learn and have fun with them. Us parents are comfortable to bring our kids in this place with no doubts. Staff and whole team are awesome, we can always talk to them about our kids and how they are doing + understanding, patients about late pick up and some cases that us parents sometimes we can't avoid. Which is help us so much. Grateful 👏”

The staff/ teachers are incredibly attentive and professional. They create a warm atmosphere where children feel comfortable and secure. I appreciate the structured daily routines they have in place, which help in developing my daughters social skills and independence. The curriculum is engaging and age-appropriate, incorporating a variety of activities that promote learning through play. I have noticed significant progress in my child's development since attending, including improved language skills and increased confidence. Communication with parents is excellent. The staff regularly updates us on our child's progress and any upcoming events. I also love the daily reports that provide insights into what my child did throughout the day. Overall, I highly recommend justkidz to any parent looking for a quality daycare experience. It has been a wonderful place for my child, and I am grateful for the care and attention they receive.”

“I was a bit nervous putting my child into daycare for the first time, but JustKidz made the whole process so easy and reassuring. The entire staff cares deeply for the kids and their families and it shows in everything they do. I have not had a single bad experience after a year of attendance. On top of that, the management team have been extremely accommodating to my family in our time with them. You guys are amazing, thank you for taking such good care of my little one 🤍”
