What Illinois licensed

- Day care, licensed for
- 88 children
- Night care, ages

Unprofessional, makes you pick up child on minor inconveniences to them. No cameras to show proof. Shows favoritism towards kids. Asks for alot of donations when already expensive.
Kaleb HockmanJun 10, 2026We have been with The Early Years Academy soon after it opened in 2021. The level of care and commitment the staff show is outstanding. I know that my children are safe and cared for. They help encourage and assist with meeting developmental and educational milestones. They genuinely care and make an enormous difference. We are so grateful for this childcare center.
Melissa StralowNov 4, 2025The Early Years Academy was a wonderful experience. My children attended there for 3.5 years. The staff and management were very attentive, communicative, and constantly planned activities and structure for the kids in a fun and educational way. The staff showed endless love to my kids and knew their personalities as if they were family.
Valerie SimonSep 3, 2024They were about to take on my children, but once learning about my son's epilepsy, they conveniently no longer had any room and blamed another family. It's a shame that companies are still allowed to discriminate based on fear of what is different to them.
Caitlynn ReynoldsJul 5, 2023Jenny's passion for childcare really makes this place great!

What ages does THE EARLY YEARS ACADEMY accept?

- Yes. Illinois licenses THE EARLY YEARS ACADEMY for 88 overnight children, ages 6 weeks to 12 years. Illinois licenses day and night care separately, so an overnight capacity means the state approved the provider for it. Confirm the hours actually offered with the provider.

Does this page show inspection results for THE EARLY YEARS ACADEMY?
- No. Illinois publishes monitoring and licensing reports going back to 2010 through Sunshine at sunshine.dcfs.illinois.gov.
