Parent Testimonials

“The teachers and staff really care about the kids! The only drawback is the accounting/billing aspect - definitely needs some work.”

“Everything! The included food, flexible schedule, and responsive administration. We really enjoyed our time at KALP.”

“All the activities and field trips scheduled for the children for summer camp”

“Our children have been part of the Kiddie Academy family since they were just 11 months old, and now they’re thriving in elementary school—and still returning each summer for the academy’s incredible summer camp program. It’s been nothing short of amazing to watch them grow, learn, and build confidence in such a nurturing environment. From the infant and toddler rooms all the way through to the after-school and summer programs, Kiddie Academy has consistently provided a safe, supportive, and enriching experience. The teachers and staff are not only kind and attentive, but they truly understand child development and know how to make learning fun and meaningful. They’ve helped lay the academic foundation that has allowed our kids to excel in elementary school, both socially and academically. The curriculum is strong and age-appropriate, and the values they instill—like respect, responsibility, and curiosity—are evident in our children every day. We also appreciate the open communication, clean facilities, and genuine care the team shows each family. We can’t recommend Kiddie Academy enough. It’s more than just childcare—it’s a community that has become an essential part of our family.”

“The teachers - We love Ms Satya, Ms Laura, and Ms Lydia. We love the extra curriculars like the Music Man and soccer shots. The summer activities were amazing ”

“First I have to acknowledge there has been significant improvement overall at the facility. From the creativity in the lobby layouts to the weekend events that are offered, your team deserves a lot of credit for continuing to improve. There also appears to be some improvement in the food offerings. My child was receiving pudding somewhat frequently for a while so I’m glad to see the inclusion of more fruits at snack vs highly processed foods. Lastly I would say the increased communication to parents has not gone unnoticed and is a welcomed improvement. Again, the new/extra efforts are noticed and highly appreciated from a parent perspective!!”

“I really appreciate the balance Kiddie Academy of Urbana created between education and care. The staff is not only warm and nurturing, but also clearly focused on helping the children grow academically, socially, and emotionally. My child attended the school age program since the age of five. She has been a huge fan of Kiddie Academy since her first day attending. She loves going to all the events and was very excited when she was able to return for CampVentures this summer. She truly enjoyed her summer thanks to KAU. I recommend it a thousand percent! ”

“We absolutely LOVE everyone ay Kiddie Academy & LOVE the education our toddler receives! Everyone is so friendly & welcoming from the moment you walk through the doors. All of the teachers we’ve had have been top-notch educators & no turnover (which says A LOT about a childcare center!). Overall, the most important aspect to us as parents is that our toddler absolutely LOVES all of the teachers & loves coming to class everyday day! I cannot recommend Kiddie Academy enough to other families!!”
