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!

We enrolled our son at Kiddie Academy of Darien nearly a year in advance while I was pregnant…read morebecause we knew how competitive childcare openings are in the area. We completed the enrollment agreement, paid the enrollment fee, signed all required paperwork, and received written confirmation that his enrollment was finalized with a scheduled start date of August 17, 2026. As we got closer to his start date, I reached out to introduce our son and check on the waitlist for an earlier opening. That conversation is when I learned that our confirmed August start date had been pushed back several months. I was told an email had been sent months earlier, but our family had somehow been left off the distribution list. Here's what makes this unacceptable: no one ever contacted us to let us know our confirmed enrollment had changed. We only found out because I reached out. Had I not, we would have continued planning our return to work under the assumption that our son was starting in August. I emailed both the center director and management outlining my concerns and asking for a resolution. I followed up when I received no response. Neither email was ever acknowledged. Instead, the only communication we received was an automated message informing us that Lucas's start date had been changed AGAIN. Mistakes happen. Ignoring families after those mistakes happen is a choice. Childcare is one of the biggest decisions parents make. Families arrange maternity leave, work schedules, and finances around confirmed enrollment dates. The complete lack of communication and accountability throughout this process was incredibly disappointing. Thankfully, we found another daycare that welcomed our son sooner and has been proactive, organized, and communicative from day one. Looking back, I'm grateful this happened before our son ever started because it showed us exactly how communication is handled when something goes wrong. If you're considering Kiddie Academy of Darien, I would encourage you to look at the many other excellent daycare options in the area before making your decision.

Our son has been attending Peter Pan for the last 3 years, and we are big fans! Coming from a home…read moredaycare, we weren't sure what to expect - but we love the program 1) the staff is incredibly caring and dialed in to the kids 2) they have an amazing STEM and nature program. Learning about animals and trees and even raising swallowtail and monarch butterflies from eggs! 3) they have great communication with an app that provides pictures and updates throughout the day 4) they helped my son through big life events (potty training! Writing his name!) 5) the food they serve is great- you get a menu monthly. They even tell you what and how much your kid eats 6) good blend of structure and play, with lots of hands on learning. It's amazing, my son loves it here. If you are looking for a good daycare and preschool program, Peter Pan is a great option!

We absolutely love this daycare! Our 18-month-old looks forward to going every day, which is such a…read moregift. We tried two other daycares before finding this one, and the difference has been night and day. The teachers are incredibly caring, patient, and creative in keeping our son engaged, incorporating a wonderful nature theme that he absolutely loves. It's clear they know how to make learning and socializing fun, while also creating a safe and nurturing environment. We couldn't be happier and are so grateful we found them!

This is an amazing place. Not only do my children receive an outstanding education, they enjoy…read moreunique traditions such as maple tree tapping, the Thanksgiving program, Spring Fair, and using the outdoor natural setting to enhance learning opportunities. Avery Coonley is unquestionably the best elementary school in the area. It is academically rigorous, but they put the highest importance on the child as a whole (meaning academics + physical + creativity + emotional + social skills + citizenship). Art, Music, World Language, P.E., and computer skills are not treated as "specials." At Avery Coonley, these are core curriculum subjects. This school is a wonderful blend of traditional education, cutting edge technology, and ingenuity. Teachers are always innovating and children are stretched to explore subjects in a way that creates in them a love of learning. The teachers care for the students in a way that is just indescribable. This place is worth every penny.

Incredible school like no other, for students who are academically advanced / gifted and crave…read morechallenge and empowering learning experiences. The teachers are masters in their field, the school day is incredibly vibrant with PE every day and fine arts, language & stem classes. The extracurricular options are vast.
