I love that kids can play and have fun while having an educational focus throughout their day. The staff clearly cares about their work and the children. Maria is easy to talk to and has worked with my family's scheduling needs to make sure my child has a place there and feels welcomed. I woud recommend kiddie Academy lakeview/ravenswood to any parent looking for quality child care in the area.
Michael MazzoccoJul 9, 2026I stopped sending my child to Kiddie Academy Chicago Lincoln Square due to concerns about cleanliness and overall care. The classrooms did not always feel clean or well maintained, and I was not fully comfortable with the level of hygiene and supervision. I decided to find another childcare option that better meets my expectations for safety and cleanliness.
Thae ThaeApr 24, 2026Our toddler has been going to Kiddie Academy for about a month now and we love it! Engaged and lovely staff and teachers. Clean and organized facility. Fantastic value as well. They organize seasonal events, fun theme weeks, and even special STEM activities. We couldn’t be happier, highly recommend!
Courtney Graham SrihaMar 22, 2026Our son has been at Kiddie Academy for a little over 2 years and we couldn't be happier with the community and the teachers. Each day we know our son will learn and grow. Now that he is a toddler he tells us how much he enjoys his friends and teachers. Mrs. Kim, Ms. Melanie, and Ms. Teevy have been a huge support to our son and family as he navigates toddler life. If you are looking for a daycare for your little, make sure to take a tour.
Jaden KnosherNov 24, 2025⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I absolutely love this daycare! Every teacher greets you with a big smile, which makes such a difference. My daughter, Zyla, has been attending since she was 6 months old (she’s now 14 months), and her experience has been wonderful. Ms. Sheryl 🦋(Butterfly classroom)🦋 is truly amazing—so attentive, prompt, and welcoming every single day. It’s clear she genuinely cares for the kids, which gives me such peace of mind as a parent. The director, Ms. Maria, is also fantastic—kind, professional, and always making sure everything runs smoothly. The whole environment feels safe, warm, and supportive, and I couldn’t be happier with the care my daughter receives here. 💕 Highly recommend!
Monica LAug 26, 2025We enrolled our daughter at Kiddie Academy when she was 18 months old, and we couldn’t be happier with our experience. She smoothly transitioned to the toddler program upstairs, and the care she has received has been exceptional. The facilities are always spotless, and we’ve been pleasantly surprised by how rarely she’s gotten sick since joining. The staff are respectful, attentive, and genuinely invested in the children’s well-being. The teachers, especially Daijah and Brianna, are absolute gems—our daughter adores them and talks about them at home all the time! The curriculum has helped her learn and grow so much, both academically and socially. She has built wonderful friendships, and we love that Kiddie Academy encourages parent involvement through events and opportunities to connect with other families. One of the standout aspects of the program is how they build confidence through activities like show-and-tell and collaborative games. The brand-new playground is another huge plus—they make the most of it by taking the kids outside as often as possible. We’re so grateful for the positive impact Kiddie Academy has had on our daughter’s development. It’s a warm, nurturing environment that truly feels like a second home!
