🚨 PARENTS — READ THIS BEFORE ENROLLING YOUR CHILDREN
After five years at KICO, we have withdrawn our daughters due to serious concerns about child safety, privacy, communication and the treatment of our family.
Our most serious concern has been dressing-room and backstage boundaries, including a male student being permitted in a dressing area while young girls were changing without our knowledge. Our daughter was extremely distressed by what happened. We repeatedly asked what safeguarding policies and procedures were in place and did not receive the reassurance or clarity we expected.
We also raised concerns about backstage access, supervision, adult screening, bullying and exclusion, and felt these concerns were repeatedly dismissed or inadequately addressed.
The hardest part? Watching our children become anxious about an environment they once loved—and seeing our five-year-old ignored by the owner at a dance event.
After five years of loyalty, we never expected to walk away feeling this disappointed.
Parents should never have to fight to get clear answers about their child's safety.
Before enrolling your child, we strongly recommend asking KICO for clear answers about child safeguarding, dressing-room rules, backstage access, adult screening, supervision and how complaints are handled.
For our family, the decision is simple:
Our children's safety, privacy, dignity and wellbeing come first. Every single time.
