My neighbor was able to give me some info about the facility and their process. We were hoping to find a new daycare closer to home and a bit more affordable. Tuition breakdown - Full Time: $360 a week $72 a day Part Time 3 days - $225 a week $75 a day 2 days - $160 a week $80 a day Infant classroom 6 weeks - 15 months 1:4 infant classroom 1:5 toddler classroom 12 months and up has breakfast, lunch, and snack. Infant class room has 10 babies max with a total of 3 teachers. One of the teachers works from 7-3pm so the teacher ratio drops, but some of the kiddos usually are picked up around that time. They definitely work with the families to ensure your child is placed in the right classroom and gets the support they need. From what I see, the director is hands-on.

I have two foster children that have attended Tiny Scholars Academy for a year now. One child…read morestarted at about 3 months old. She's now 18 months. She knows her ABCs, can count 1-10, knows the language of colors and sings a bunch of nursery rhymes. They have helped to instill social skills and directives that will prepare her for school. The 3 year old undoubtedly will enter kindergarten well-prepared. His phonics/phonemic awareness is laser sharp and he is already writing words. His Spanish vocabulary is pretty impressive and even shocked me with a list of different amphibians! The teachers are patient, encouraging and personable. The owner has been more than accommodating and responsive to the kids needs and to me as a foster parent. The facility has been a God-send and I highly recommend Tiny Scholar Academy.

The therapists are not only highly skilled but truly passionate about making a difference in each child's life. They take the time to understand the unique needs of my child, offering individualized attention and care that has made all the difference. The therapy sessions are engaging, creative, and tailored to my child's specific goals. The therapist used a variety of innovative techniques that make learning enjoyable while promoting growth in motor skills, sensory integration, and cognitive development. It's clear that they genuinely care about my child's well-being, and the progress we've seen has been remarkable. The environment is nurturing and inviting, helping my child feel comfortable and safe during each session. The improvements in my child's abilities and confidence have been evident, and I'm so grateful for the positive impact Kids Unlimited has had on their development. If you're looking for compassionate, expert care, this is the place to be.

Her ability to connect with him, support him emotionally, and help him navigate his feelings has made a meaningful difference not only for him, but for our entire family. Ms. Brittany has also been instrumental in supporting us through IEP meetings, school-related matters, and other important aspects of my son's life. She consistently goes above and beyond, advocating for his needs and ensuring he feels seen, heard, and supported. I am incredibly grateful for the work she does.

Absolutely wonderful school! We had both of our children at ITAV - before and during COVID. Our son…read morestarted at ITAV at 3 months and was there until kindergarten. Our daughter started at 4 months and spent 2 years at River City. This is an amazing and truly unique daycare. The teachers are the absolute best! Both of our children are reading at levels well beyond their ages. The entire staff is fantastic. Special recognition for Ms. TeKay, Ms. Michelle, Ms. Tabitha, Ms. Shirley - honestly, too many names to remember all the great teachers - as these teachers were so instrumental in helping to raise our children. I would recommend ITAV to anyone. Thank you!

Our 2 children (Ages 2 & 4 now) were at ITAV since they were both toddlers, and we have had a great…read moreexperience overall (we moved away from Chicago). I would give them a 4.5* overall. Pros: * The education is top-notch. Only through comparison with what other daycares are learning in our new city now did we realize how much advanced the content our 4yo was learning compared to other schools. My kids know so many random facts and songs they never cease to amaze me. * In addition to reading, writing, math, the focus on the project based arts and sciences is really nice and appreciated. They teach Spanish. Again, many daycares I visited didn't have the volume of student projects hanging up. * The add-ons (they do cost $$$ like $300 per 10-weeks) offered like karate, violin, basketball, are pretty unique to ITAV and convenient. * The final icing on the cake is they recently started Field Trips, which no other daycare we visited does. * They feed lunch and snack, which not all daycares offer lunch, though taste quality highly varies on this :). * Teachers know the kids' names from all classrooms pretty quickly which is a nice touch. Cons: * The biggest issue that other 1* reviews highlighted, is that your kid will have about an incident report monthly, and sometimes a scratch or bump that no one noticed. My 2yo lost a tooth at daycare and they had no clue how. I can't say if this is above or below average, as kids get into accidents was always our assumption and we are now just starting them in their new daycare. Most incidents happen end of day during pickup, when they're put into a general playroom that often are not their primary teachers, with a lot higher student:teacher ratio. So if you want to avoid the accidents, pick up your kids in that 4:30-5pm window before their main teachers leave. * There is noticed staff and teacher turnover. This hasn't affected the quality of care for our kids, but I have talked with the teachers who left and they've uniformly cited that ITAV does not pay their teachers well - assistant teachers are paid @ $12/hr and lead @ $19/hr as of 2018, so teachers will leave. That's something the teachers and the owner needs to work out, but from the parents' side, they interview candidates well and have consistently good teachers so for us we don't dock them for that in our rating, but I'm providing the info here as FYI. Overall, I would have no hesitation putting your child into ITAV and you'd get a top-tier education and can easily avoid the physical accidents issue by picking up earlier.

I met so many amazing people here and they gave me all the resources needed. Met my parents supervisor, got thru the hiring process quick bc I left another caregiver agency and was able to get some of my training forwarded to this one.

Besides the gorgeous new school building just a block away from the old location, the director and staff have worked so hard to continue serving MFC students and families throughout this wild year.

Throughout our time, we have been consistently impressed by the talent and dedication of the MFC staff and educators - their passion for education and care for the kids is abundantly evident. Furthermore, it's clear from the classrooms that the kids enjoy being there - it's a positive, nurturing environment where they do their "work" (to speak Montessori), take responsibility for themselves, and support their classmates. My oldest son made his transition to first grade at a CPS school this year, and MFC prepared him quite well - he already knew how to read, do math, engage in problem solving, and was socially ready for the change. He's thriving in his new school now. We also love the strong sense of community at MFC - Ms. Betty does a great job of offering ongoing enrichment and social opportunities for parents and families, and many of the families are friends outside of school functions. All in all, it's a very supportive, positive environment for children to grow and learn!
