Kiddie Academy: Bethpage vs. Farmingdale
Those who have looked at both, what are the differences between them? How is education once they become toddlers and older?

Re: Kiddie Academy: Bethpage vs. Farmingdale
We go to bethpage and are touring farmingdale tomorrow.
I have 2 friends at farmingdale and 2 have are swtiching to it in a few weeks from Bethpage.
They are worlds apart on food quality, cleanliness and professionalism. They deal with issues much better, they offer alot more and appear to just do alot more for the kids. They are more expensive though.

Kiddie Academy: Bethpage vs. Farmingdale
I have been at Farmigndale since they opened. My DS was their first infant (outside of the director's daughter). I do not have a single bad thing to say about them. I feel blessed to have found them. My DS loves it there and we still keep in touch with one of his teachers that moved to FL.
It is a school setting. My DS is in the 3 year old room and he is learning to write. They keep a journal for each student and you can see how he has progressed since they started in it Sept.

I haven't been to either. I live closer to Farmingdale one, but a good friend sends to Bethpage, and I know she is pleased.
What are food options at each? What else is offered, do you mean within the classroom? And by professionalism, do you mean from administration or from the teachers?
With regard to cleanliness, which one is cleaner? I know Bethpage is pretty knew.
What kind of issues have you experienced?
My friend has her child at Bethpage and has been very happy. Any time she has had a question or concern, she goes to the owner or the directors for a meeting, and has been very happy with the resolution. She actually mentioned they basically have an open door policy, you can come in with any concerns at any time.
One thing she likes about Bethpage is that they do NOT currently have cameras accessible via the web, because she fears creepy people can hack in and see what the kids are up to, babies having diaper changes, etc. She also mentioned the outdoor facilities for the children are spectacular at Bethpage, and they have a nice indoor gym or play area or something?

Re: Kiddie Academy: Bethpage vs. Farmingdale
My LO goes to KA farmingdale and we are also very happy. Never visited bethpage so I'm not really sure about that location. One thing I love is that they use the Tadpoles system to get electronic daily updates with photos. They just celebrated their 3rd year being open. Maybe it's because they have been the first ones to care for my baby after I went back to work but I'm very attached to this daycare. It would take me a lot to switch because I feel like everyone knows me and my DH and our LO so it feels like second home.

I think a lot of the parents at KA Farmingdale feel that way! Even if we moved we would probably still send DS there. We almost recently moved to Massapequa and I would have made the drive to keep him here.

Re: Kiddie Academy: Bethpage vs. Farmingdale
We're starting KA in Farmingdale on May 4th and I am so excited for my DS! He's been in another day care center for over a year and I have never really loved it, truth be told. I don't think DS has ever really loved it either. We live in N. Massapequa and I am traveling out of my way (slightly) to bring him there. Alli3131 was super helpful with questions I had. Thanks, Alli! lol
