Parent Testimonials

“My child enrolled in the summer program and it has been the BEST experience. We are new to the region so it was hard to pick and choose between solid programs and we are so grateful we decided to go with kiddie academy. Our sons teacher is such a blessing and all of the staff we’ve encountered have been amazing as well.”

“We just moved to town and it wasn’t hard to decide for Kiddie Academy. The staff was great since day one. The assistant manager is the best! My kids love to come to daycare everyday. Top reasons we love Kiddie Academy: 1- staff (I feel my children are treated like family) 2- programs they fit perfect for kids) 3- facility - impecable 4- communication ”

“Great place. ”

“The teachers are so great with the children! They are always learning something different and it’s very creative! ”

“The staff tends to go above and beyond and is always willing to help and even with stuff that doesn't have to concern their day to day job”

“What I appreciate most about your educational child care services is the overall experience my family has had from the very beginning. The enrollment process was simple and convenient to complete virtually, and communication has been proactive, transparent, and consistent throughout. The facility is always clean, welcoming, and well-maintained, and I've found the staff to be friendly, accommodating, and genuinely invested in the children. I also appreciate the special events and activities that are planned for the kids—they create memorable experiences and show the care your team puts into the program. Most importantly, my son's teacher, Mrs. Savannah, has been exceptional. She creates a structured learning environment without being overly strict or intimidating. She is an excellent communicator, keeps parents informed, and has built a classroom where the children feel supported, engaged, and excited to learn. It's clear that the kids love and respect her, and she has had a very positive impact on my son's development.”

“I would absolutely recommend Kiddie Academy of Gurnee to friends and family. My son, Alexander, genuinely loves going to school every day and has built wonderful relationships with both his teachers and classmates. It’s been incredible to watch his social confidence, communication skills, and overall emotional intelligence grow alongside his academic learning. The staff has always been friendly, supportive, and approachable, and I’ve consistently felt that they truly care about each child as an individual—not just as another student. They also go above and beyond by organizing fun events like bubble parties, magic shows, and other special activities that make learning exciting and create lasting memories for the kids. As a parent, knowing my son is in a safe, caring, and engaging environment gives me tremendous peace of mind. I couldn’t be happier with our experience and highly recommend Kiddie Academy of Gurnee.”

“Structured daily schedule, flexible drop off/ pick up times, and that you guys provide lunch/snacks.”

“Age appropriate fun activities and also include some educational activities even in the summer time for school age.”

“Kiddie Academy is incredibly accommodating to our needs, they have great routines, and great teachers. Big shoutout to everyone - Ms. Kyra, Ms. Gina, Ms. Ariel, Ms. Jenny on the admin side always being warm to our daughter when she enters and leaves the center (I’m sure they do much more than just that). To her teachers - Ms. Myranda, Ms. Micaela, Ms. A’Marriah, and Ms. Stephanie - she’s grown so much from your nurturing and we are so appreciative of the care you’ve poured into her! ”

“The teachers were so caring and invested in the children. We will truly miss it here”

“I really see my daughter learning! She comes home with more knowledge and skills than what I have taught her myself, and I recognize that she is learning many new things at daycare. The staff is friendly and the curriculum seems to be well-designed. ”

“The teachers are amazing. My son has learned a lot!!”

“Our son absolutely loves this school. He has loved nearly every teacher he has had since he was able to tell me about his teachers. He has made so many friends and constantly asks if he can go to school, even on the weekends. We toured probably 10 schools and when we met Ms. Brittney we were floored by her and the facility. It was clean but not sterile and the kids genuinely look like they’re enjoying themselves. Couldn’t ask for a better school for our kiddo. ”

“I value the relationships your caregivers develop with the children and parents above all else. It makes drop offs a little easier to know your babies are in the hands of women who love them, which is demonstrated by the kids level of comfort when we walk in to class. I value communication, transparency and grace shown by staff. I value the curriculum that’s shaped my young children and prepares them for grade school. I love the access to cameras throughout the day to see what my babies are up to. Makes the days apart easier. I value the presence of Judy and David. Their involvement and passion for the children in their school shows, it’s priceless. We love KA. ”
