"Kid's First is really a reliable preschool/daycare and is very clean..."

Kid's First really does put kids first. My little ones feel so loved and cared for. They have also really enjoyed sensory play and craft-making as part of their learning. I recently returned to work, which is a hard transition for all of us. The staff made the transition go much better than I could have hoped. Additionally, one of my littles LOVE climbing and jumping. To support these instincts and the needs of other children. Kid's First is a reliable preschool/daycare that is always very clean.

Kid's First has been a great place for our children. All the teachers and staff are very supportive and helpful. They provide valuable feedback and show a genuine interest in your child’s development. They keep you updated on the day’s activities and let you know as soon as they notice if your child isn’t feeling well or has any other needs.

"What impresses me is that EVERY worker knows EVERY child’s name and forms a relationship..."

We’ve been extremely happy at Kid's First. What impresses me is that EVERY worker knows EVERY child’s name and forms a relationship with them. I know that my child is safe and loved here. I also appreciate how they support their employees and make sure they are taken care of - when you have happy employees, it means better care for your child.

"We are so happy we found this school and wish we had found it earlier..."
"We are so happy we found this school and wish we had found it earlier..."

We have tried 3 or 4 daycare centers, from Syracuse to Layton, and we’ve also tried an in-home daycare. Then I found Kid's First. Let me tell you... Night and Day! My child is happy and looks forward to going to school, and drop-offs are a breeze. The food they serve is much healthier than anywhere else we’ve found and truly promotes a balanced meal. We are so happy we found this school and wish we had found it earlier. Our child is 2.5 years old, and having him somewhere I trust is key to making it through my workday.

"Kid's First is by far the best daycare I’ve had my children in..."

Kid's First is by far the best daycare I’ve had my children in. I have a child who has diabetes and celiac disease, and Kids First went above and beyond to ensure my child’s needs were met. When my husband and I brought up our child’s needs, Katie and her team didn’t even bat an eye. Both of my children loved all the teachers at Kid's First. We received updates throughout the day, along with questions through the app Kid's First uses. The app really put our minds at ease. Thank you for taking care of my children as if they were your own!

"Katie is a very professional director who puts the kids' best interest above anything else..."

Kid's First is amazing! Katie is a very professional director who puts the kids' best interest above anything else. She will go out of her way to help a child in need. Katie is very resourceful and knows where to go to find extra help for a child in need. The center is clean and organized. The staff is attentive to the children and really cares for them. I trust my children to be in Kid's First's care.
