  My kids thrived here... as a first time mim, I was nervous abt my kid going to daycare. Finding a place where I can chk in on them either physically or remotely put my mind at ease. It was a no trainer to place my second child here. They are family oriented and directors actually care abt the kids (not just corporate/check box focused). My second kid Especially was an hands-on baby due to health issue and they ensure my kid was well cared for and included...so in forever grateful.

  Finding the right center for your child is hard to do. Kiddie academy is that center. You walk into and feel the love they have for the children in their care. You can go to work knowing your child is safe and happy.

  Absolutely amazing daycare. I have had bad experiences with daycares in the past, where my son was mistreated, they neglected to administer his medications, dumped out whole unopened bottles of pedialight, and even called dcfs over a dye stain on his neck from tiedye! So when I found Kiddie Academy, I was wary, but they have gone above and beyond. They always treat my son so well and will make sure to personally talk to you about any concerns. The teachers are attentive and caring and truly make a bond with your child, I've never felt more safe leaving my child under someone else's care! They are willing to handle any concerns or issues you may have. They've even helped me with some issues that weren't daycare related. He always comes home happy and talks my head off after being there! Truly view them as a second family for my son and couldn't be happier he ended up here.

  My daughter was at Kiddie Academy for over three years. She loved every class and every teacher she had. The leadership team was responsive to everything we needed and is very kind. I recommend it all the time!

  Finding the right Academy/Daycare for my son was a challenge. After checking out several options and switching from one to the other, I finally found the Hawthorn Woods location. This place is always clean, friendly, and just amazing. It is obvious that caring is an important core belief that they hold dear. The teachers are just amazing. They make you feel comfortable and your children are in the best atmosphere. Their curriculum and weekly activities are fun and engaging. I love this place.

  We’ve been going to Kiddie Academy since 2021 when my son was 5 mo. We absolutely love the care he has had. The rooms are always very clean and well kept. Most notable are the teachers who have all been so caring and plan engaging, fun and age appropriate lessons for the kids. My son has learned so much and always loves going! Knowing he’s cared for each day is most important. Also, the director, Ms. Ala is so great. There is some teacher turn over but as long as Ms. Ala is there I know my son is in good hands. She’s a main reason we will continue going there and enroll our second child soon. She is very organized, plans fun activities and is so genuine in her care for the kids.
