What Lexington Families Are Saying

My toddler attends CKA and LOVES it. As a parent I feel good about CKA being our daycare when I see how excited my child becomes each morning to go to daycare and see the teachers and her friends. The staff is kind, friendly and professional.

— Julie A.

The teachers and staff are genuinely so friendly and amazing. This daycare is very well-run. We’ve had no issues and would recommend for parents looking for a daycare your child will learn and grow at. They are also very accommodating and take food allergies very seriously.

— Sonya K.

The staff at CKA didn't just watch my daughter, they loved her. They welcomed her with open arms from day one and made her feel like part of their family. As a single dad navigating unimaginable loss, knowing she was truly seen, supported, and cared for gave me the peace of mind I desperately needed.

— Chris O.
