Testimonials from Kiddie Academy of Urbana

“I love having an allergen friendly menu. My son has a SEVERE egg allergy and it makes me feel that my son is safe during meal times at school. ”

“What makes Kiddie Academy are the people that work there and the academic standard and programs. Our son has been at Kiddie Academy Urbana since this location opened in 2019 and seen a change of hands since then. This current owner and administrators are great! That said, Kiddie Academy follows an educational standard and the daycare is run like a school. As a first time mom, I expected a daycare would be just minding the child aka babysitting but in a facility. Kiddie Academy has been much more than that. To give examples, as early as 18 months old if not sooner, kids seat at a table to eat, taught manners, taught how to wash their hands and as they grow older, they learn new things and expectations change. Another example, they are expected to wash their hands when they come into school. There is a set schedule that’s followed. Children are given nap time, play time, learning time, and allowed to socially and cognitively develop. Children just don’t seat in the facility, they go outside too. They play with water, engage in science related activities fit for their age such as planting seeds to watch them grow. The children are prepared from infancy for kindergarten. And have a graduation to mark the end of their time at daycare and the beginning of school new. Drop offs and pickups are easy. Everything is computer driven from checking in and checking out, which opens the door to the school. Tuition payments are also done through an electronic payment gateway (on the web). I love that we can log in to watch our child from WatchMeGrow and get pictures and updates of what our child was up to via pictures in Tadpoles. At drop offs and pickups the children are greeted by the administrators as you walk in or walk out. From the interaction, you can tell the administrators have had contact with the children and they know them. I like the fact that the children are fed healthy meals and snacks. Parents get a email advising us of the week’s meal plan. Since dayca”

“I love that even though I have a baby he’s not doing nothing all day. The teachers are very engaging and do projects. Everything they do has been very intentional especially with milestones. If they know he is working on a new skill, they encourage it for him to get stronger and confident. ”
