We are very happy with where things are at Kiddie Academy right now. It has been wonderful to see the addition of karate, soccer, and the upcoming summer activities. Thank you for taking our feedback seriously and for adjusting the food offerings for the children. We truly appreciate the care and attention you put into making these thoughtful improvements. Please continue with the small upgrades that help make the experience even better. We are very grateful and appreciative of everything you are doing. Thank you again.
There are so many different activities every day. My daughter really loves going to school. I love that what the kids are learnings changes based on the class and not a set program.
Really love the engagement from the staff and teachers. It really feels like a real community and is so reassuring to have a village help keep my son engaged and safely cared for. The activities done with the babies keep them so engaged and interested. He loves being dropped off and I can breathe and feel at ease knowing he is wirh trusted staff who care.
Staff and teachers are very attentive and care. Prepared meals and snacks are great. Children are engaged with questions to help them develop but at the same time have opportunity to play and socialize with the other children. Thank you!
Great staff. From the directors, teachers, teacher assistants, the cooks, cleaners, etc. I feel like I’m dropping my son to a trusted relative. Great curriculum too. I just need to do my part as a parent. I’ll miss this center when my son goes to kindergarten.
We absolutely adore Ms Khalida! The best compliment I received was when my daughter told me how yummy her carrots were because they tasted just like Ms Khalida’s. She’s been dedicated to the academy for years and we’re lucky to have her!
My son is in the twos classroom with the teachers Ms. Autumn, Ms. Lizbeth and Ms. Ella. His time in twos is coming to an end as he’s getting ready to transition to a threes room. I am so thankful for all that Ms. Autumn has done with my son. She helped handle his severe food allergy and eczema. She made sure to help do full body lotions to my son everyday just to help me keep his eczema as calm as we could. Her communication is a 10 out of 10 and she’s a creative, bubbly and fun personality. Ms. Lizbeth and Ms. Ella are his teachers now and they are a dream team. I have never see. A twos room so calm and participate in tables centers. The structure they have in the classroom is unmatched. They get down on my son’s level to communicate. They have helped potty train my son in a short timeframe using the underwear method. I am so thankful for these group of women. I don’t want my son to leave their care. Thank you!
The teachers are warm, attentive, and very hands-on with the children. I really appreciate the transparency and camera access—it’s reassuring to see what my child is doing throughout the day. My daughter is learning so much and having a great time. She truly loves going to daycare!
Kiddie Academy of Urbana has taken exceptional care of our little one. The teachers consistently remain calm, caring and patient which is especially important in the infant rooms. They dont seem to only work together as colleagues but similarly to a family not just in the classroom but throughout the organization. I can tell the teachers care for the babies not just as part of a group but as individuals with little developing personalities. The comments we receive about day to day interactions, attention to changes in his norms, and even their excitement to milestones reached makes me feel relieved that they are part of our cohesive team. As a first time parent, it's terrifying to have to rely on someone outside of yourself to care for your baby. This establishment makes that action a much easier and welcome collaboration. Our son has been thriving and developing at such an impressive rate and I know the academy has a significant role to play in continuing to be responsive to his needs while nurturing his talent. We are very impressed with how things are going thus far and are excited to continue letting him grow within the academy.
The teachers are very friendly and the overall atmosphere of the school is very nice. Walking into school everyday just feels good and my daughters have both enjoyed their time at Kiddie Academy.
My child grew so much academically and socially while at Kiddie Academy. All the staff were caring and engaging with all kids, not just those in their classroom.
The teachers and staff are extremely kind, professional, and it's easy to see they genuinely care for the children. The facility always seems clean. I just cannot recommend Kidde Academy enough.
