We sent both our daughters here for many years, with our youngest just graduating over the weekend. Everyone at Kiddie Academy was extremely friendly, and our girls loved it there. The facility was always clean and well-run. We always felt great knowing they were taken care of and happy.
Scott BakerJun 10, 2026The director and teachers have very good communication. I feel like my child is learning a lot and always talks about the fun activities she did during the day. I love seeing pictures at the end of the day with the daily report. They are very accommodating to my child’s needs, and I feel like the school is very clean.
Allison ThompsonMar 7, 2026We were one of the first families at Kiddie Academy of Grayslake when they opened in 2021. We eventually enrolled both of our young children and for a decent amount of time were happy with the care and enriching educational environment provided by Kiddie Academy. However, all of that changed after a DCFS incident which involved our youngest son and one of the teachers. The entire situation was incredibly upsetting, but we felt as though Kiddie Academy at the time took appropriate action. The teacher was fired immediately and Academy wide training took place. We hoped that it was simply a "bad apple." We made the decision to pull our kids from the care of Kiddie Academy about a year and a half after that first incident when our older son also had a DCFS incident with another teacher. The directors response to that incident after reviewing the footage was so passive that we no longer felt that the safety and care of our children was a top priority. It felt more as though there was a protection of the teacher and the institution happening. Additionally, with this now being the second incident that our family was involved in there seem to be a more widespread problem. It has taken six months for our son to recover from the emotional damage that incident caused. We feel as though Kiddie Academy of Grayslake failed our children in not providing the most basic care and safety to them and we were extremely sad to be leaving under these circumstances. I have really wrestled with whether or not to post this review, but upon hearing that a coworker of mine had considered this care provider without knowledge of our experience, I am finally making the decision to put our story out there.
Kristen Del ValleMay 25, 2025The academy is kept so clean, children are feed well balanced healthy meals everyday, the teachers give daily updates at pickup and I get daily reports via the portal and email on what my child ate/didn’t eat, activities they did during the day, nap time, pictures, and the curriculum. We absolutely love it here the staff are all so friendly and welcoming!
Learha BurkeSep 4, 2023I would highly suggest this preschool! They go above and beyond in every category! I love every staff member and teacher. My daughter has Mrs.Zoey and Mrs.Michelle as her teachers and they give her so much love and attention, not only has she soared academically but they have helped me with empowering her, helping her to speak up, sharing and so much more. They truly care and love my child as they would their own. I am a single mother and they have helped me so much in regards to making sure my daughters needs are met and rhat she is always safe and happy. I am also incredibly appreciative of Kiddie Academys director.She is always so positive and kind. The director is very ontop of every illness, paperwork, she follows up immediately, and truly cares about the safety and well-being of every child in the academy. I toured multiple facilities before picking this one and it has been a wonderful experience all around! I would highly suggest taking your children to this facility!
Robin RushMay 22, 2023Both of my kids having been coming here for a little over a month and my 1 1/2 year old who has a small speech delay has been saying so many new words since being there. The communication here is phenomenal. Both my kids are always happy being there and i love the pictures and updates they send on the app. Best daycare i have encountered so far.
