KO12 Kids on 12th

Let me just say, Sharon, Julius and Lisa oh and their music teacher are amazing! And that’s just to name a few. My kid is in Kindergarten and she’s super stoked to learn and play with her friends 🥰🥰we absolutely love it here! HUGE THANKS TO KO12

We are so grateful to Kids on 12 ! When our original childcare plans fell through last minute before a vacation, they stepped in and welcomed our son with open arms. The facility is spotless, the teachers are wonderful, and our son absolutely loves going there. It's such a relief knowing he's in a safe, clean, and caring environment. Thank you for being there when we needed it most! Five stars all the way!

Between 3-4 yrs old, our son was having multiple tantrums on the daily. Not standard “that’s not fair” tantrums but “kicking and throwing toys across the room bc he didn’t know how to express his big emotions” tantrums. He was constantly asking to stay home. After a yr of this, we switched to KO12 and the tantrums completely subsided! We had no idea that his previous school (which is a great school) was impacting him so much. KO12 was just a better fit for what our son needed. Once in a while, he will still ask to stay home from school (bc what kid doesn’t love to play hooky?) but as soon as we arrive, he goes straight to the playroom w/his friends, often forgetting to say bye to us. 😆 My top 5 reasons for why I love KO12 for our son: 1. Positive Environment: I immediately feel the warmth and love as soon as I walk in. Interacting with staff and walking through the space, it’s very clear that they have a community. Kids feel the love and want to be here. Our son has also made more friends here. 2. Flexible & Adaptable: Teachers meet their students where they are at and understand different learning styles. Our son thrives in their “play, work, play, work” model instead of sitting in a classroom all day w/1 recess. 3. Focus on Individual Needs: Teachers take note of student behaviors, flag it to the parents and collaborate on a solution. 4. Centralized Communication System: direct messaging, newsletters, and documents like the handbook are all centralized in one mobile app. Also, staff are super responsive via the app. 5. Easy Drop-off & Pick-up: There’s a spacious parking lot out back which is super clutch for a busy part of center city and the app makes it easy to scan a QR code to time stamp your drop off pick up. Really great for kids who have multiple parents/guardians.

Highly recommend! My son has done Pre-K here and now we're using Kids on 12 as an aftercare option, and they have been amazing. Really thoughtful, kind, individual attention, great teachers. You can pick days when you attend and hours and don't pay extra. What's best and REALLY important for a working parent, is that they work on all the days when typical daycares are closed. They have a very reasonable holiday schedule and I didn't have to miss work once because I didn't have daycare and my work didn't have a holiday.

We are still new to the Kids on 12th family, but our son has been a part of the after care program from Independence Charter for 4 months now. Since the beginning we’ve had great communication with Sharon and the rest of the staff there. Our son enjoys his after school time and sometimes doesn’t even want to leave at pick up. Such flexibility and ease of environment makes it an easy fit for us. Would recommend 100%
