  • Hands down the best daycare in the area, all of the teachers are very in tune with your child. they are very personable with your child and make sure they give daily reports every pick up. Mrs. Irish is the best! This facility does not feel like just school ,It literally feels like home. Don’t think twice enroll your child today!

  • I can’t say enough good things about Kiddie Scholars! From the moment we first walked in, we felt welcomed and at ease. The staff is incredibly caring, professional, and always ready to address any questions or concerns we have. My son has been going there since he was 6 weeks and is now 11.He has made so many friends and looks forward to going every day even after school.The facility is clean, well-organized, and full of engaging activities that stimulate both learning and play. They offer a variety of programs that cater to different developmental stages, and it’s clear that the staff are not just qualified, but truly passionate about what they do. Communication is top-notch, with regular updates on my child’s progress and activities.I’m so thankful to have found a daycare that treats me and my son like family. I highly recommend Kiddie Scholars to anyone looking for a safe, nurturing, and enriching environment for their children.

  • Did not keep my child keep more than 3months. Location & size is great! Staff on the other hand is questionable. I don't believe every teacher has a degree! My child has been seriously injured twice. They notify injuries on their own time as in hours later - if at all depending on extent! The front & office area is always messy, crowded with paperwork-- no place to sit, etc. Complaints to owner because of all the problems + there are no working cameras in or outside and she was honest enough to give other school recommendations. Luckily a person from Illinois child act worked there and really was the only decent educator my child learned from. She was very informative and interactive unlike the rest! At the end of it all- my child has been pulled out. Don't set your expectations too high here if you decide. They are too comfortable and needs training or evaluation

  • I love this daycare so much. The staff are wonderful.i know my child is safe while he is there. When I was down after surgery I couldn’t have my babies bday party so they threw him one. They are the best….

  • My 3 year old son has been going to Matteson Kiddie Scholars for almost 2 years now and we absolutely love it. They are very flexible and have great hours. I can see the growth and learning every day! All of the teachers in the baby and toddler rooms love having him and he loves seeing them. And best of all, the children seem very happy there and love Kiddie Scholars. When I see my son interact with the other kids, they are attentive and share toys with him and give him hugs whenever he comes and goes. It’s very nice to know that he is in a caring environment while he isn’t home. My daughters calls Ms. Irish the Director her second mom ❤. Thanks to the team at Matteson Kiddie Scholars for keeping my heart at rest.
