Recent parent reviews
If you're a nervous, first-time parent like me who read tons and tons of daycare reviews, you can stop your search: Kids Academy is that safe, loving, enriching place you can trust to care for your child. We switched from a different daycare that I thought was okay enough, but always had this nagging sense that things could be better. Now my instincts are proven correct: KA knows how to take care of this precious age group. My daughter, who used to cry at drop off, now struts in with confidence. Her teachers, Ms. Lisa and Ms. Brenda, have the passion and patience it takes to help her and her classmates have fun, learn and thrive. Best of all, I know that this standard of care will continue on as she graduates to new classrooms because of the exceptional leadership of Ms. Julie and Ms. See. Thank you Kids Academy!
Kylie CooneyFeb 25, 2026We have had a great experience at Kids Academy for our son! We initially went to a nearby daycare and then switched to Kids Academy. Kids Academy is superior in every way. Ms Julie and Ms See are very thoughtful and great communicators. All of the teachers are kind and clearly love working with children. Ms Adriana and Ms Priscylla taught our son so much.
Sean McInerneyAug 29, 2025Kids Academy has been absolutely wonderful for our family! Julie goes above and beyond in everything she does, and it really shows in the care and attention she provides. My son has truly shined since joining—his confidence, curiosity, and joy have grown tremendously under her guidance. The environment is warm, nurturing, and safe, and it’s clear that the children are genuinely cared for and supported. I can’t recommend Julie and Kids Academy enough—if you’re looking for a place where your child will thrive, this is it!
Monica Schulter JirakAug 18, 2025We feel so fortunate to have found Kids Academy Early Childhood Center near Jefferson Park in Chicago. It’s truly the best daycare experience we could have asked for. The center offers the perfect combination of a small, caring community and a safe, clean, and enriching environment focused on early childhood development. From his very first days, our son has felt so loved and supported by his amazing teachers — especially Ms. Lisa and Ms. Fanar, and now Ms. Joanne and Ms. Jasmine in his current classroom. He learns something new every day and absolutely lights up when he sees his teachers — he literally runs to them with open arms during drop-off. As parents, it gives us real peace of mind knowing our child is in a nurturing space that supports both social-emotional growth and early learning. If you’re searching for a high-quality daycare or preschool in Jefferson Park or Northwest Chicago, we wholeheartedly recommend Kids Academy. It’s a special place where kids truly thrive — we couldn’t have chosen a better home-away-from-home for our little one.
Whitney IceJun 10, 2025Kids Academy is our village. I cannot recommend this daycare highly enough. All of my son’s teachers have been fantastic, making him feel special and giving him constructive activities while providing a level of emotional support that I have never seen elsewhere (and we’ve moved around a bit). The staff makes every parent feel totally at ease, and Ms. Julie and Ms. See are kind, confident, and communicative. We are beyond excited to send our second child here soon.
Adam LapetinaJan 21, 2025From day one I knew we had made the right choice. Our son loves this place! We get so many photos of him smiling. You can tell his teacher, Lisa, really cares about our kiddo. The owner and her staff are all warm and welcoming to new families. We get pictures and updates and lots of fun art every single day. I cannot recommend Kids Academy Early Childhood Center enough. If you're on the fence I urge you to contact them and take a tour.
