Karen Moffett

I was a first-time parent when I decided to send my son to DaVinci. I looked around at several different places and never got that “this is it” feeling, until I toured DaVinci.

When I entered DaVinci almost 5 years ago, I knew this is where I wanted my son to grow and learn. Since then, he has blossomed into an amazing, funny and confident little boy.

He will be leaving soon, entering kindergarten, which saddens me that he is leaving such a great family that has helped shape him into the kid he is today.

Over the years he has learned so much from all the kind and patient teachers, that showed compassion and nurturing towards him.

For parents that are looking for great care, one key thing is the staff is ONBOARD helping with potty training, which is a HUGE help to working parents going through this stage.

Academic wise they also have a great curriculum. Over the years, he has learned his ABC’s, numbers, shapes, colors, penmanship, sign language, counting to 10 in Spanish and many, many more academic skills that exceeded my expectations of what he would learn in a daycare/pre-school. He also learned social skills of friendship, sharing and kindness towards others.

The Brightspace app gives real time updates and photos throughout the day, giving any parent the confidence their child is being well taken care of.

I feel he will be well prepared for kindergarten with all the skills he has learned. I hope that other parents see how dedicated the staff is at DaVinci to teaching children to not only be well educated, but to be altruistic as well.

My son went to Davinci for his last two years of preschool then when I had my daughter we started sending her at 12 weeks old and is still there now at 2.

The communication between administration/teachers/parents has been great via the app. I love getting picture updates and comments all throughout the day. They work hard to prevent and correct negative behaviors in a positive way. I have never once had a bad experience in the past 3-4 years of our attendance. I am confident that my children are safe in their care.

*Miss Shaunna is the BEST and treats all of the kids/families like her own family and we LOVE HER!

Elizabeth Brinkley

This a great center with attentive and caring staff. We are thankful we found such a wonderful place for our children. Upon returning to work after maternity leave, people said to me "I bet it was hard leaving your child at daycare". I never hesitated to tell them that is was much easier because we felt really good about the daycare we chose. We have added more children to our family and have been at DaVinci Academy Belvidere since January 2018 (6.5 years). These are amazing people who really care! I am so grateful to have them part of my village, because it does take a village.

Melissa Beil

Our son is about to start his second year at Da Vinci and I can’t stop saying how much we have enjoyed his time with this facility. The teachers are so warm and loving, each classroom is rich in education and welcoming. The staff really works together to have the curriculum grow with your child. Also they have a fabulous app that allows you to see real time photos and activities that your child is participating in. We toured a lot of other schools but once we came through the doors of Da Vinic I knew we were in the right spot!

I highly recommend DaVinci Academy for any parent seeking exceptional childcare. My experience with them has been exceptional.

DaVinci Academy excels in communication and transparency. I love receiving updates and photos throughout the day, which keep me informed and connected to my children's activities. Their immediate notifications about any incidents or accidents demonstrate their commitment to safety and accountability.

The teachers and staff at DaVinci Academy are not only friendly but also incredibly communicative. They always take the time to discuss my children's progress and address any concerns I may have. This open dialogue has been crucial in ensuring that my 3 and 4-year-old feel happy and secure while at daycare.

The Pre-K program at DaVinci Academy is outstanding. They have been instrumental in helping my 3-year-old son with potty training and have done a fantastic job preparing my 4-year-old for kindergarten. The teachers are skilled at creating a nurturing environment where learning is both fun and educational.

Overall, DaVinci Academy has exceeded my expectations in providing a nurturing and enriching environment for my children. I am grateful for the care and attention they receive and would recommend DaVinci Academy to any parent without hesitation.

I was always worried about where to take my daughter to daycare, but DaVinci has made that an extremely easy decision. After a year or so of have my daughter enrolled she has learned so much. And thanks to the amazing teachers there she has also gained a great amount of social skills. Davinci is wonderful place to send your child

David Beatty

I have 2 kids who have been going here for a few years now. We have had a great experience so far, and the staff is very professional and takes great care of the children. They are accomidating and keep me up to date through their app with tons of pictures of the kiddos. Both of my kids are always excited to go to school to learn and grow up. I wouldn't send my kids anywhere else.
