Recent parent reviews
They do graduation on front of their school without any effort of adding a stage, flat, cheap and barely decorated, not thoughtfully handled by the school management. Imagine if it rain? are they expecting everyone will hold the umbrella or ok to get wet? or compressed everyone inside their mini classroom? Also, my kiddo was bullied by her autistic classmate, victimed of throwing some items to her, sometimes pushing her or pinching her. My kiddo would cry sometimes when I pick her up in the afternoon telling me she got bullied again. I am furious as a mom, I talked to the school admin and requested to call the parents of the autistic kid bully, their solution is to transfer my kid to a different class, no apologies at all as if it is normal to just forgive and forget since the bully is autistic. I will not recommend this school to another parents, tuition fee is expensive but they are so cheap to spend money on the kids graduation day. Make sure you asked how they handled bully and autistic kids harming other kids on the classroom.
Dar GorsMay 27, 2026Absolutely love it here, the staff and teachers are all truly wonderful people who care so much about the children. So lucky to have this daycare as part of our “village” and feel so confident in sending our child here.
Morgan TSep 30, 2025The staff seems disinterested and doesn't give the kids the proper attention they need. I've noticed a lack of supervision and care, which is unacceptable for a place that is supposed to be safe and nurturing. I would not recommend this daycare to anyone looking for a loving and secure environment for their children.
unblockme youposOct 31, 2024We cannot say enough how much we love Kiddie Academy! My baby is always so happy to be dropped off and is so loved and cared for by his teachers. All of the staff is so kind and welcoming everyday and the facility is always clean. I love how the curriculum they offer benefits all children, no matter the age! They always have so many fun activities with an educational goal/purpose behind them. 10/10 recommend, would give more than 5 stars if it was possible!
Haley GloverJun 27, 2023I’m very satisfied with the quality of professional service the staff provides. The cleanliness and keeping safety first is very important to me as a parent for my child and the staff far exceeds my expectation. My daughter has been with Kiddie Academy of Gurnee for over a year now and I can already see a major improvement in her motor skills along with critical thinking. As a parent, I’m happy I choose to have my daughter backed up with this academy. I would highly highly recommend anyone that is looking for a safe, clean, reliable and professional environment that is provided by Kiddie Academy of Gurnee!
Aman SinghMar 13, 2021My 1-year-old son started attending Kiddie Academy this year, during the pandemic. Suffice it to say, I was nervous sending him out into the world for the first time. From our first meeting with the director, we felt that Kiddie Academy was the right place for our boy. The staff genuinely seems to know what is going on with every child and the security is great. I feel safe leaving my child in their care and trust they are taking necessary precautions for COVID, etc. The team is so responsive and helpful (especially for a first time mom who likes to be very prepared ;) )! My son, who before starting, had only ever known his parents and doctor, is now waving and smiling at everyone when I pick him up like a little social butterfly. Highly recommend Kiddie Academy for your kiddos!
