Love Kiddie Academy!!…read more My grandson loves his "school" and in essence it is school because he's learned so much. His language skills (comprehension/expressive) have come so far. He's learning to interact with his friends and be part of a group. All of those pre-k skills like colors, shapes, the alphabet, numbers, etc are part of the curriculum. Yes, there is a curriculum, this isn't babysitting. The facility is appealing to kids, the staff has always been friendly and also good about keeping us informed as to how his day went. Can't ask for more in quality care for your child. That peace of mind is huge.

MY REVIEW WAS DELETED SO I AM POSTING A SECOND TIME!…read more My children were enrolled for about 18 months at this facility before Dad and I decided to unenroll them indefinitely. The very first day they arrived, upon picking them up my son had marks all on his arm as if he was bitten several times. I brought It to the attention of the front desk and they managed to calm me down and reassure me they would review the cameras - they never did. As a parent, I should have trusted my intuition and removed them from this facility that very first day. My son would come home and tell us that his teacher, Ms. Amanda, didn't like him so we requested a classroom change with Ms. Jezera who was absolutely amazing. My daughter had a consistent revolving door of teachers; her nose would be completely crusted upon pickup as if she wasn't being tended to. Jezera and her sister Jasenia, who later became my daughters teacher, as well as Ms. Brittney are easily the only teachers in the entire facility that I trusted with my children. Once my son aged out of Ms. Jezera's class he was placed into a classroom with Katie's son, the director. All of a sudden they claimed he was having behavioral issues when in actuality he was being bullied by Katie's son and other classmates and management refused to do anything about it despite our continuous requests for a classroom change, which was once honored previously. Katie shows complete favoritism towards her children and would make inappropriate comments to my child. There is a current DCFS investigation as well as attorneys involved due to an incident that occurred on 7/12. Upon picking my children up from this facility, my son had marks on his hips telling me his teacher, Ms. Terrah was pinching him ( as part of disciplinary measures) upon review of their cameras and an exam of my child these accusations proved to be 100% correct. The only thing I commend this daycare on is their swift response as Terrah was terminated within the hour, however, their continuous lack of due diligence in hiring competent staff and addressing issues at their core would have prevented the continuous mistreatment of my son during his entire enrollment here. This facility over the course of the entire 18 months continued to lose my trust and the ONLY reason I kept putting faith in them is due to the strong relationships I had with the teachers listed; their promise to ensure my children were safe was appreciated but they of course can only do so much. This is the first and last daycare my children will ever attend!

He has built amazing connections not only with his classmates but the teachers and other staff. Everyone is friendly and very invested in my son's health, growth, joy and success. We love all the crafts for the holidays and special occasions. We love their outdoor playground and water days during summer camp! Overall a great daycare experience and great start for any child any age. We have always had our concerns taken seriously and easy to have conversations staff through their easily accessible app or in person. You never need to worry about communicating.

My wife and I have been sending our son to Children's Courtyard since 2023 starting when he was 4…read moremonths old. Being our first child, we were understandably apprehensive about daycare, but it didn't take long to see how caring each of his teachers were. Every classroom he's been in has been an excellent experience. The teachers are attentive and great at communication. Their Sproutabout app, which they use to send parents updates, is second to none, and being able to check in on the live cameras at any point gave us the transparency we needed to feel comfortable. Please don't think of this as your average daycare. The teachers who care for the kids are truly teaching our little guy so much. Every single day he comes home sharing what he's learned, sharing new experiences, arts and crafts and he genuinely enjoys being there. Lastly, I cannot speak highly enough of the facility leadership. They communicate so well with us, they're always cheerful, and they have strong bonds with the kids who attend. They handle challenging situations well. There's so much to speak highly of. Hats off to Tracy, Isabel and Dani for being such a great leadership team, building an amazing team of teachers and for fostering an incredible environment for the kids to thrive in.

She start going there when she was 8 months and has grown so much thanks to the incredible teachers. All of the staff - from the front desk staff, to the directors, to the cooks, and the teachers are incredibly kind. patient, and dedicated. Not only does every staff member know my daughter's name personally, they also greet my husband and I by name at pick up and drop off. It is truly a Kiddie Academy family. All the teachers are great at communication and you receive several picture updates throughout the day. When my daughter was younger, her teachers would chat with me through the app and ease any questions or concerns I had. Our daughter has transitioned into the toddler room but still loves her infant room teachers and I think that says a lot about the impact they have made. I really cannot say enough great things about this place!

Her lesson plans and activities are well executed, fun, and Jack talks about them after school. So that's amazing! She is also an amazing "documenter" and communicator. She posts a lot and keeps us updated on what the kiddos are doing all the time. It truly makes being at work a little easier knowing that your kid is having fun and learning and engaged. Excellent lesson plans and execution (as well as showing you what your child is learning everyday) is an asset that helps set La Petite above the rest. Her work ethic, care, kindness, and knowledge really stand out. She even tries to time changing jacks diaper at the right time before pick up. Its amazing! And it means a lot especially when us parents don't know what the day will throw at us. Ms. Shae. Holy Cannoli. From the first time we met her we absolutely adored her. She is so smart. I can remember walking in the hall and she knew who everyone was, whose parents were who, when kiddos were getting picked up.... All the details. It's very impressive. It was very obvious that she knew everything and cared to the fullest capacity. Not only are her comfort and care immeasurable..... She engages the kids in a way that pulls them in and makes their minds think. She too has shown how amazing La Petite is. Ms. Shae has a light and knowledge that is also irreplaceable, she is an amazing asset to la petite and our lives. We want her celebrated. Both of these individuals make such a positive and powerful impact on our day to day. We can't thank you enough.
