Love Kiddie Academy!!…read more My grandson loves his "school" and in essence it is school because he's learned so much. His language skills (comprehension/expressive) have come so far. He's learning to interact with his friends and be part of a group. All of those pre-k skills like colors, shapes, the alphabet, numbers, etc are part of the curriculum. Yes, there is a curriculum, this isn't babysitting. The facility is appealing to kids, the staff has always been friendly and also good about keeping us informed as to how his day went. Can't ask for more in quality care for your child. That peace of mind is huge.

MY REVIEW WAS DELETED SO I AM POSTING A SECOND TIME!…read more My children were enrolled for about 18 months at this facility before Dad and I decided to unenroll them indefinitely. The very first day they arrived, upon picking them up my son had marks all on his arm as if he was bitten several times. I brought It to the attention of the front desk and they managed to calm me down and reassure me they would review the cameras - they never did. As a parent, I should have trusted my intuition and removed them from this facility that very first day. My son would come home and tell us that his teacher, Ms. Amanda, didn't like him so we requested a classroom change with Ms. Jezera who was absolutely amazing. My daughter had a consistent revolving door of teachers; her nose would be completely crusted upon pickup as if she wasn't being tended to. Jezera and her sister Jasenia, who later became my daughters teacher, as well as Ms. Brittney are easily the only teachers in the entire facility that I trusted with my children. Once my son aged out of Ms. Jezera's class he was placed into a classroom with Katie's son, the director. All of a sudden they claimed he was having behavioral issues when in actuality he was being bullied by Katie's son and other classmates and management refused to do anything about it despite our continuous requests for a classroom change, which was once honored previously. Katie shows complete favoritism towards her children and would make inappropriate comments to my child. There is a current DCFS investigation as well as attorneys involved due to an incident that occurred on 7/12. Upon picking my children up from this facility, my son had marks on his hips telling me his teacher, Ms. Terrah was pinching him ( as part of disciplinary measures) upon review of their cameras and an exam of my child these accusations proved to be 100% correct. The only thing I commend this daycare on is their swift response as Terrah was terminated within the hour, however, their continuous lack of due diligence in hiring competent staff and addressing issues at their core would have prevented the continuous mistreatment of my son during his entire enrollment here. This facility over the course of the entire 18 months continued to lose my trust and the ONLY reason I kept putting faith in them is due to the strong relationships I had with the teachers listed; their promise to ensure my children were safe was appreciated but they of course can only do so much. This is the first and last daycare my children will ever attend!

I tried working with the teachers, the directors, I even met with occupational therapists and behavioral therapists. My child was not the problem. The teachers told me my son was "unteachable", diagnosed him with ADHD (without having a degree in psychology), and said he has a "chemical imbalance and needs medication." In the time he was present at the school his father deployed for the military. His therapist tried to work with the school due to his "trauma" and adjustment disorder. The staff wasn't understanding or supportive of this change. I had a therapist do an evaluation of my child at the school and the report was absolutely heartbreaking. My child was bullied by the teachers and other students. The only time they gave my son attention was when it was negative. The verbiage used by teachers was inappropriate and they never gave him any positive reinforcement. If your child has any "challenges" don't bother sending your child here. They won't be supported.

By far, the best in the area!…read more My daughter attended Kiddie Academy - Bolingbrook for nearly a year after we relocated to the area. We had an amazing daycare/school before we moved and thought we would never find a place that was just as good, but Kiddie Academy was even better. The teachers and staff were amazing and really got to know and care about all of the kids, and families, and did all they could to make sure the kids had a structured and fun day. The owner(s) and Director were always in communication with the parents and updating them on the happenings at the school, and made sure they were offering new and engaging activities for the kids. Everyday when I signed my daughter out, an email was sent to me summarizing her day and all they did, and pictures of her and all the fun things that happened that day at school. This is a really cool feature. If you are looking for child care in the Bolingbrook area, this should be your first (and only) stop!

Very disappointing experience. From the beginning, I constantly had issues with this daycare. My…read moreson had never been a biter until he started here, yet he was repeatedly bitten, including on his first day, and I felt my concerns were continuously brushed off. I also felt they expected far too much from a 2-year-old and treated normal toddler behavior like a major problem. Instead of properly redirecting and teaching him, they would take the easiest route. For example, I was told they let him color on himself with marker because it was "better than him hitting other kids." That isn't teaching--it's laziness. My son regularly came home extremely dirty despite having extra clothes in his cubby, and on one occasion came home with his underwear extremely soiled with stool, which made me question how closely he was being supervised. I repeatedly brought up concerns and rarely felt they were actually addressed. Overall, I felt like my son was blamed instead of being properly guided and cared for. I would not recommend this daycare.
