Kiddie Academy of Darien

So we did not end up sending our baby here…read more But nonetheless, I wanted to take this opportunity to write a great recommendation for Nikki and the rest of the staff. Earlier this year, we were looking for a daycare solution for our six month old. We heard great reviews, and so we came by for an in person tour and paid a deposit here. The staff was so welcoming, and it was evident that they really cared about taking good care of the kids. Additionally, there coronavirus protocols were spot on. They took great care to enforce a 100% masking policy, and it sounds like the vast majority of the staff had also been vaccinated. I loved that even though it looked like a commercial building instead of a school, they had different rooms for the different aged kids, kitchens, security cameras EVERYWHERE, and even outdoor space. We felt welcomed and Nikki answered every question we could have possibly had. Another endorsement is that she sends her own kids there! Anyway - we wish things would've worked out - it's purely a matter of distance and proximity - but we would've been thrilled to send our kid here. Thanks Nikki and the team!

I have been a Kiddie Academy parent for years - at two different locations. Unfortunately, this…read morelocation lacks engaged ownership and leadership - it really shows in this organization. The classrooms vary based on if you're lucky with consistent teachers. Turnover rate is HIGH for both front of office and classroom teachers. There are multiple instances that I would consider as lack of engagement, oversight and transparency from the ownership... including getting sent this article by a family member (not hearing it from the daycare themselves). https://patch.com/illinois/darien-il/child-drinks-suspected-bleach-darien-day-care-cops Another, personal example - Before I recently moved my child to another daycare in the area, I uncovered that I had been getting regularly overcharged for about 6 months and had to reach out about getting it corrected. The explanation: a mistake, lack of leadership oversight. Bottom line - I really loved some of my children's teachers. Being a parent is hard work. Taking care of children is hard work. This isn't a BAD establishment. However, there are notably better options at comparable price points in the area. I recommend you do your homework.

We love the First United Methodist Preschool! My son has literally blossomed under the loving…read moreguidance of the dedicated, creative teachers there. He is excited to go there each day, talks about his teachers with reverence, and has made many good friends among the students there. We have been impressed by the quality of the activities, the attention given to the lesson planning, and the genuine compassion shown by the teachers. Not only are the children surrounded by a vibrant learning environment, but the parents are kept fully informed about what goes on during the day. We are thrilled with the quality of our son's preschool education and look forward to sending our younger children to FUMPS as well as soon as they are old enough.

We're really pleased with my daughter's experience at the First United Methodist Preschool in…read moreDowners Grove. She's in her second year, and I've seen her grow so much socially and academically. She comes home each day with new art projects, singing new songs, and talking about the interesting, fun activities and discussions from the day. The school has 5 full-time, certified teachers, and they're really focused on using a wide variety of activities and techniques to engage the kids. They also really involve the parents, and we've had a lot of fun getting to know the other families through the ice cream social, mom's/dad's days, the Halloween parade, the nativity play, classroom parties, and more. It's a great program!
