So we did not end up sending our baby here…read more But nonetheless, I wanted to take this opportunity to write a great recommendation for Nikki and the rest of the staff. Earlier this year, we were looking for a daycare solution for our six month old. We heard great reviews, and so we came by for an in person tour and paid a deposit here. The staff was so welcoming, and it was evident that they really cared about taking good care of the kids. Additionally, there coronavirus protocols were spot on. They took great care to enforce a 100% masking policy, and it sounds like the vast majority of the staff had also been vaccinated. I loved that even though it looked like a commercial building instead of a school, they had different rooms for the different aged kids, kitchens, security cameras EVERYWHERE, and even outdoor space. We felt welcomed and Nikki answered every question we could have possibly had. Another endorsement is that she sends her own kids there! Anyway - we wish things would've worked out - it's purely a matter of distance and proximity - but we would've been thrilled to send our kid here. Thanks Nikki and the team!

I have been a Kiddie Academy parent for years - at two different locations. Unfortunately, this…read morelocation lacks engaged ownership and leadership - it really shows in this organization. The classrooms vary based on if you're lucky with consistent teachers. Turnover rate is HIGH for both front of office and classroom teachers. There are multiple instances that I would consider as lack of engagement, oversight and transparency from the ownership... including getting sent this article by a family member (not hearing it from the daycare themselves). https://patch.com/illinois/darien-il/child-drinks-suspected-bleach-darien-day-care-cops Another, personal example - Before I recently moved my child to another daycare in the area, I uncovered that I had been getting regularly overcharged for about 6 months and had to reach out about getting it corrected. The explanation: a mistake, lack of leadership oversight. Bottom line - I really loved some of my children's teachers. Being a parent is hard work. Taking care of children is hard work. This isn't a BAD establishment. However, there are notably better options at comparable price points in the area. I recommend you do your homework.

Writing his name!) 5) the food they serve is great- you get a menu monthly. They even tell you what and how much your kid eats 6) good blend of structure and play, with lots of hands on learning.

Communication from teachers consisted mostly of group emails - individual meetings with teachers were sparse. Making additional donations to the school (on top of tuition) is encouraged, perhaps that would've helped with communication! We enjoyed the infant and toddler programs, but the early childhood class experience was a failure on many levels. Too many children per teacher. We could sense the overwhelming focus on logistics, ironic for Montessori method while they always touted education. Our son's doing so much better in a different preschool.
