  • I absolutely love this Daycare. I love how they care for my son. I feel so at ease when I drop him off. To me they are family and not just some daycare. My favorite part is that I'm able to track when he was feed, changed and when he goes down for a nap. I also love that they post pictures throughout the day. Thank you guys for everything you do 🫶🏾

  • We’ve had an amazing experience at Sunnyside! In just nine months, we’ve seen so much growth in our kids both academically and socially. All of the staff is incredibly caring and truly feels like family to us. The facility is always clean, welcoming, and has a very home-like atmosphere. Our kids genuinely look forward to going to school every day, which means everything to us as working parents. We’re so grateful for our experience and would highly recommend Sunnyside to any family looking for a nurturing place for their children!

  • We’ve had such a positive experience so far at Sunnyside Academy. Even though our daughter hasn’t completed a full year yet, we’ve already seen so much growth. It’s clear she loves spending time with her classmates and teachers. Ms. Ashanti and Ms. Mariah have been wonderful!

  • Excellent center. The staff is warm, patient, and truly treats every child as if they were their own. My children has grown so much socially and academically since starting here. So sad we had to leave (not because of any concerns of the daycare) I highly recommend!!

  • We had such a great experience working with the team at Sunnyside Academy. From the moment we arrived, we were met with warmth, professionalism, and a real sense of community. The staff and students were full of positive energy and clearly enjoy being part of the school. The space itself is beautiful and thoughtfully set up for kids. We especially loved the bright movement room, the calming fish tank, and the well-organized learning areas throughout the building. Every part of the school feels welcoming and designed with kids in mind. Thank you to everyone at Sunnyside for making our visit such a pleasure! -Lil Angels Photography Chicago

  • We Have had nothing but positive experiences with Sunnyside Academy! The curriculum is well rounded and keeps the children engaged with various activities that foster both learning and play. The staff at the daycare are attentive and nurturing, creating a welcoming environment for the children and parents. Communication has been great as well. They regularly update us on my granddaughter‘s progress and any social activities happening that week. Overall, I feel confident in the care my granddaughter receives and we are happy with the learning experience provided to her. Sunnyside Academy is a hidden gem! We Love This Place❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ PS…. This is the cleanest daycare I have ever seen!
