Full Ranking Detail

childcare

Kid Friendly Academy is an Ohio-licensed childcare center in Willowick offering extended hours (6:30 AM–6:30 PM) and rare service flexibility including overnight care and transportation for working families. The center serves school-age children with before/after school and summer camp programs, and participates in Ohio's PFCC subsidized child care program. However, the center lacks a SUTQ quality rating from the state, has no independent parent reviews, and its inspection history shows a pattern of Partially Compliant results spanning 2022–2026, warranting closer review by prospective families.
