    Anu Saini, Academy Owner

    I strongly believe that it is important for young children to receive early education that can focus on all areas of their developmental growth. During our search for business, we decided to go with Kiddie Academy because it possesses all the qualities that we were looking for with caring teachers, a fun atmosphere and strong curriculum. I want it to continue my passion for young learners. We decided to open our second location in Grayslake to the community, as we continue to inspire young minds. My husband and I have two wonderful boys, and we love to meet new people. I enjoy spending time with my family, reading, and watching web series/ movies in my free time.

    Danielle Bentivegna, Academy Director

    Danielle has been in childcare for the past 18 years and has served as a Teacher, Program Specialist, Assistant Director and Director. Danielle has her B.A. in Elementary Education with a concentration in Science from Southern Illinois University and spent time teaching in the public school system for a few years before coming back to Early Childhood Education full time. Beginning at a young age, she always knew she wanted to be an educator and work with children. She volunteered during her recess time in the primary classrooms when she was in elementary school and began babysitting at the age of 14. That love of helping to nurture children is what brought her to Kiddie Academy. Danielle lives in Lindenhurst, Illinois with her husband of 14 years and 2 children: Isabella (12) and Jackson (2). When she is not at the academy, she loves spending time with her family and crafting. “I am excited to have the opportunity to share my passion and enthusiasm of learning. I love watching the children develop new skills each day. I am here to help support your children and love them as my own. I look forward to getting to know you and your family. Thank you for entrusting Kiddie Academy of Grayslake to be a part of your family!”

Hear from our parents

Love being able to see updates for my child. My son has been able to thrive with the learning support from teachers. I can tell they genuinely care about my son, so grateful for them!
Lisette S., Grayslake

Miss Danielle has been kind, organized, and transparent. I love the teachers that my son has had the two years he has been at Kiddie Academy and they have helped him grow and develop so much. They take a firm, but nurturing approach.
Daniel B., Grayslake

My daughter always comes home having learned so much for her teachers and interactions with other students in her class. We are so happy with Kiddie Academy!
Samantha L., Grayslake

Teachers are great and I son learns a lot and has really developed in the time that he has been there. It’s nice to know that our child is learning as well as having fun.
Brad R., Grayslake

Everyone is so nice and caring. My child is excited to go to school. It’s been fantastic to hear and see her growth in all areas!
Allison S., Grayslake

Even as a baby my son is making huge leaps and making “friends.” It’s been wonderful to see how happy is there and he’s never bored.
Caitlin T., Grayslake

Administration is involved, just doesn’t sit in the office. This trickles down to the staff who are enthused, engaged and truly care about the kids in their classroom.
Kimberly C., Grayslake

I love that this facility is strictly a school for little ones, not just a day care. They have curriculum that they follow and my soon to be kindergartner is totally ready because of kiddie academy. Also, they don't turn into an after school care facility for older kids. That's a specific thing I was…
Erin L., Grayslake

Great staff, very communicative, highly recommend.
Gregory M., Grayslake

The teachers and director are caring. My kids come home happy and I can see how much they are learning. I trust my kids are safe and cared for at KA!
Laura B., Grayslake
