Kelly and her team are wonderful to work with. They are true professionals, and incredibly experienced daycare providers. They genuinely care about the families they serve. Their knowledge, communication, and dedication really stand out. I highly recommend them.
Andy ZaryckiMay 11, 2026Having both of our children go through (or currently in) LCA was the best decision we could have made. There are so many positives, I don't even know where to begin. 1. The staff is WONDERFUL! They have always shown a great care for our kids as if they are one of their own. 2. Leadership is the best I've seen in the southwest suburbs. Kelly does a phenomenal job managing the staff and littles, while providing guidance, as well as transparency to the parents. 3. A faith-based educational experience has brought our children closer to family, others, and God. 4. The friends they have met and relationships they have built are incredible. 5. The facility is very well laid out for a fun and interactive learning environment. If you have children in need of care, you will NOT be disappointed.
Scott McAdamFeb 12, 2026This school has been such a blessing to us! My son does so well here. We both love all of the staff! They are all kind, supportive and patient. I highly recommend LCA to anyone looking for a Christ-centered curriculum and a safe/loving environment.
Natalia GarciaJan 8, 2025Our family started at Legacy Christian Academy in August 2024 and we have enjoyed it so much! All the staff are super welcoming and make an effort to get to know your child and love on them. My son started at 20 months old and it took him no time to get comfortable there. He loves his teachers and aides that take care of him all day. As a parent I appreciate the updates throughout the day of what he’s doing and the weekly lesson plan about what they’re focusing on. They have a well rounded curriculum with free play, arts/crafts, music, motor skills, language, and Bible lessons. I recommend LCA to any family looking for a safe, loving, and Christ centered daycare for their kids.
Lauren DiazJan 8, 2025What amazing school ! The staff and the facility is spectacular! They take the time with each student to make them feel loved each day ! My kids love walking in the building and are smiling still leaving the building that’s the sign of an exciting environment ! Just in a few months seeing their development and growth is nothing short of amazing ! God is working in this school and it’s obvious !
Paul SianoJan 8, 2025Legacy Christian Academy is by far the best daycare in the southwest suburbs of Chicago. All 4 of my children have attended under the director, Kelly Clarey. Her leadership is incredible and all of my children have loved being there! The staff is caring, patient, and kind. Personally, I have peace knowing my children are in good hands. Even some of our Early Intervention therapists have mentioned that in all of their years of providing services at daycares, Legacy Christian Academy has a wonderfully attentive environment where the providers love what they do. Kelly and the staff are truly the hands and feet of Jesus when it comes to caring for our next generation. I highly recommend sending your children here. It truly is a special place!

What ages does LEGACY CHRISTIAN ACADEMY accept?
- Illinois licenses LEGACY CHRISTIAN ACADEMY for children 15 months to 8 years during the day, with a licensed day capacity of 65. The span is what the licence permits, not a statement of which ages have places free.
