As soon as I found out I was pregnant with my youngest son, I immediately contacted her to get on the waiting list. It was definitely worth the wait and she's absolutely amazing with him. I will scream from the mountain tops about her praises. She goes above and beyond what the state requires for certification. My children actually learn and are not just "babysat" or played with. There is a curriculum and even homework!This was definitely her calling and I'm so thankful that she followed it.

This has been by far the BEST daycare ever!! I call it "a hidden gem." Firstly, the owner, Ms…read more Alicia Jones is amazing!! She is the sweetest, most humble and kindest spirit you'll ever come across. Her staff is wonderful as well and have all been so welcoming. My son is almost 2 years old & has been to about 2 other daycares in the past and he's never done as well as he has been doing here at this daycare. In the past, at previous daycares, he would literally cry every day as I was dropping him off. But NOPE, not here! He is literally excited every morning and so eager to enter Kidds Palace's doors & be greeted by the most pleasant staff, especially Ms. Alicia. My son adores her! Most mornings he even runs off without a goodbye kiss from mommy lol, but I love how much he loves this place! I'm actually shocked by the lack of reviews this place has! But as a parent of KPLA, I highly recommend this place & I promise you will NOT be disappointed.

This center is managed by an incompetent and unprofessional center directo, assistant director and…read morecorporate director is learning. this is a child care service and caring for your child is the last priority. My son came home on two occasions with broken skin that looked like nail marks that were bleeding. I addressed this with the center director as I am mandated to do by DCFS and nothing was done to address this by KinderCare- in fact the Director of learning told me I made it up because my son was a behavioral challenge and "to do what I needed to do" because they are a private company and they have the right to refuse service to my foster children. As a mom I want to warn everyone abt the leadership at Kindercare matteson they make it impossible for the teachers to keep your children safe and they are disrespectful and unprofessional to working parents that want to protect their kids.
