Our baby just recently started attending iKid Academy a couple weeks ago, starting at 12 weeks. Even as young as he is we can already tell how much he loves going to daycare and loves the teachers there. iKid has truly earned the rave reviews they have and have the best pricing in the area. When we originally interviewed for availability they had such high demand we werent sure that we were going to be able to get a spot but were so happy we did. Being our first child it was really hard for me to start going back to work, but I completely trust that they care for my child just as if I would.

My 2 year old son seems to really love being here. He has some separation anxiety and theyve been so kind and patient with him (and me). Olga is very sweet and professional and seems to genuinely care about each student. With COVID I havent been able to interact with his teachers but I feel comfortable leaving him in their care each day. Their health survey results are also impressive and all other parents and kiddos seem to love it here!

We love the iKid at Smoky Hill and Picadilly! My 5yo is already reading full sentences and she could write her first and last name with upper and lower case letters by age 4. The teachers are creative and diligent, and I love getting photos and videos in the app! Couldn’t be happier.

We love iKid Academy! My kiddos have been going there for a little over a year and they love it there. All the teachers are wonderful and they have a very effective curriculum. I am always so surprised at how much my boys learn there everyday.As for the facility, the rooms are always clean and everything is well organized. With their efficient and secure drop off and pick up system, I know my boys are safe.I highly recommend iKid!! Best place my kids have been to :)

If I could give them 0 stars I would. Director and staff are very rude. The director and I have been emailing one another about a Cook position and when I arrived at the center she told me they are not interested, remind you the day before she was looking for a cook. I don’t think she was interested because I was black.

We feel so lucky to have found iKid Academy. The director, Olga, is fantastic and runs a very tight ship! Our son has been at iKid since he was 3 months old and has been in two classrooms so far. He has absolutely loved all of the teachers and lights up when he sees them at drop off. Meals are provided which is a huge plus and the center is extremely clean. We have never had any issues, Olga communicates with us frequently and we feel confident our child is in capable, loving hands while we work.

After visiting and researching many daycare centers we chose to go with iKid Academy for numerous reasons. Their facilities are so cheerful, the staff is inviting, and location was key. Once my son started attending I was happy that we decided on iKid, he walks right in and is ready to play, he is happy to see his teachers and greets them with a smile. All the pictures I receive have shown him doing some kind of activity with a smile- he smiles a lot and is a very happy baby so I am glad that he can be his happy self away from home. He is only 18 months and can’t communicate with words but he is always willing to come and go on his own. I also enjoy the fact that they let the kids be kids.

My daughter has been going here since she was 18 months who is now 4. She loves everything about this place, from her teachers to all her friends. I love the staff’s values, communication, and empathy towards all of the kids. The owner Olga, very sweet and addresses any concerns with confidence. Thank you :) i would always recommend this facility to anyone seeking childcare with structure.

I have been extremely happy with this daycare and I am so glad I found it for my son. It is so nice being able to go to work every day and not having to worry about him. I know he is being well taken care of and that his teachers all care very much about him. The daycare is extremely clean and very accommodating. I know that my son is having fun every day while also learning and growing! As a parent, there is nothing more I could ask for.

My son attends iKid Academy, and I cannot say enough wonderful things about the facility and staff! This school met all my requirements & more! We love this place! The facility is super safe, protected, and very clean! The staff is amazing, knowledgeable & welcoming! I also love that this school is a bilingual school, as it was very important for our family to find a Russian speaking school for our son. We highly recommend this school!

Both of my children (ages 2 and 5) haver enjoyed their time here! My oldest is now in kindergarten, but Im hoping they will have some room next summer, so he can go back!

Highly recommend to any parent who worries about their childs entrance into daycare, or growth and development and behavior as they offer highly engaging academic programs, multiple fun activities daily, interactive learning style approach, and Olga the owner is extremely involved running the centers day to day operations, and engaging kids. She knows everyones child and checks in daily to inform you of their progress, she even texts us pictures and calls so we dont worry. My son was new to the area, and had several varied daycare experiences and felt like this became his new family. They didnt rush him, they work with your family to transition at a speed everyone comfortable with, and always care about your child to provide extra care in whatever they are working on. Everyday several art projects, and learning activities are sent home so you can see what they are working on, and my son finally comes home happy, fed well( with the most healthy homemade freshly prepared daily meals) and he always tells me his teachers were nice. They make the learning experience fun for kids and easy for parents. The BIGGEST difference in all my years in childcare in the Midwest, the structure, behavior, and calmness and attention to redirecting behavior. I have never once seen kids running around causing chaos, never walked in to toys all over the floor, never ONCE seen kids fighting or teachers yelling. Everyday they are all sitting with the teacher together or totally engaged in ONE activity learning together and playing nicely and safely. It is the ONLY daycare weve ever had NOT one accident report sent home, and could trust our son was always safe, and felt cared for and engaged without worrying about how they would handle behavior. Highly skilled teachers are calming and that radiates around the school and Olga personally works with any behavioral issue to help the children run around a physically get out any extra energy to prevent any behavior issues. They are all wonderful and we couldnt be happier with the experience.

They are awesome! My kids love their teachers and classmates! And my husband and I love the structure and learning opportunities they provide our kids! Would hands down recommend to any parents in need of childcare!

We have really enjoyed our experience with iKid Academy thus far. Our daughter has been attending for over a year (started at 12 months) and she loves it!! All the teachers she has had have been great and really care about the kids. She brings home fun art and crafts each day and I get pictures sent to me of her almost daily. The director Olga is wonderful and has been very helpful from the start. We are expecting baby #2 and plan for her to attend starting next year as well. The facility is clean, fun and very kid friendly. Overall very happy with this daycare!

This daycare is great. Teachers are attentive, fresh food prepared everyday, clean facility, and very reasonably priced. Most importantly, I feel safe taking my child there everyday.

The owner is wholeheartedly dedicated to iKid Academy, ensuring that children are receiving top quality care. The children receive a perfect balance of activites throughout the day. The facility is always in mint condition. The playground is outstanding, divided into sections, each part catered to children in different age groups. The teachers are beyond loving and teach children respect, love and kindness. My two children have been at this daycare since 10 and 8 months old, and now they are 4 and 2. They run to daycare with enthusiasm and my heart feels at ease knowing they are in good hands.

My niece attends iKid and she loves it. The management is very professional and are always making sure that everyone is taken care of. They are always available to speak to if needed. The staff provide great care for my niece and she is always happy and excited to come back.

The teachers and staff are amazing! They are very interactive and loving! My child LOVES going to day care. Very safe and trusting facility

My son has went here since he was 5 months old! He loves coming in the mornings to see his teachers and the kids!! He’s created memories and friendships along his path to each and every room he’s graduated into. His teachers have taught him so much, he comes home everyday with something new he’s learned and it still surprises me how much he’s learned at the age of 2!!!The teachers and the staff are truly there for the children!!! Olga is very flexible with whatever needs you have. I pray I can keep my son here with these lovely ladies until he’s ready to go to preschool!!! I truly love iKid Academy!!!!

We have been bringing our two children here since 2014. They have a great curriculum and great staff. They always have clean facilities and pay attention to each child individually.

My daughter has been at iKid Academy for about 5 months now. Within a week she got used to the Day Care and the teachers there. She was extremely difficult at first because she has been staying at home for most of her life. The day care has taught her how to feed herself at 19 months (yes she was behind). They also teach her many words that I have not taught her yet and she even speaks a little Russian now! Bonus! She is now two and they started to potty train her for us which is awesome. She is much more social now and learns how to play well with others. I’ve been to several day cares and I have to say that this is the best day care that we have been to. It is bright and clean; the foods are great and plentiful. The teachers are very nice. She comes home with art work every day, learning about animals, shapes, colors, and letters. They even have music classes once a week. I would recommend to all.

Wonderful school! My son started just before he turned two and is now 4 and my daughter has been there since she was 20 weeks and is now over two. The owner, Olga, is such an incredible person. Kind, Loving and cares so much about her kids. The teachers are all incredible. I always cry when my kids move to the next grade bc I love the teachers so much, but I am always equally impressed by the new class and teachers. My kids still hug all their previous teachers and chat with them. Do not be alarmed or put off by the Russian language aspect. Yes, many teachers speak Russian as primary language, but they speak English as well and it is good for the kids to hear other languages. My son knows lots of words in Russian! They also provide healthy meals everyday! That is a huge benefit! Packing lunch is time consuming and expensive and this is included and always healthy and home cooked. The school is always clean and bright and cheerful. The kids get lots of outside play time as well! We are going to have our third baby at i kid starting at 14 weeks. We couldn’t be happier with the school. We trust them with our most precious things in our lives, our kids. I am so grateful we found this school.

Great school, caring staff, clean facility, healthy food, amazing enrichment program to keep kids stimulated and learning all the time. Love all their holiday celebrations in the Russian traditional style with singing and dancing, it gets kids emerged into a different culture. The director Olga knows all the kids and parents by name and always makes you feel warm and welcome. You won’t regret if you choose this daycare/preschool for your child.

Ikid has a creative, disciplined and clean environment. My son behaved better at the school than he did at home. Which, I hear is quite normal. Ikid has a structured schedule and expects best from its teachers, parents and children. The owner Olga communicates and knows every parent and every child. There is a lot of heart at this preschool.

We love Ikid academy. I have three kids that go there, all the classrooms and teachers are great. Food is fantastic, the facility is clean. Education is top notch. We are really happy and would not have our kids go anywhere else! Highly recommended!

When I pick my kids up from daycare here, most of the time they are having so much fun they dont want to leave! Olga and her team allow for plenty of playtime outside when the weather is nice and delicious and healthy food is served daily. The caregivers genuinely love these kids.

My daughter went there from 2 - 5 years and she absolutely loved it. They totally prepare them for Kindergarten, from reading to knowing there numbers, seasons e.t.c... I would recommend ikid academy to any parent, it was definitely a wonderful experience for my daughter and still misses her teachers to this day!

Our infant son started here at 7 weeks old and is now 8 months old. He loves the teachers and is so happy every day when I drop and pick him up. It makes having to use childcare much easier knowing he is happy and safe.

IKid Academy is simply amazing - from the teachers, to the food, to the very personable and caring owner, to the affordable price - everything about this place is a complete package that any family would appreciate to have for their kids. It is also a bilingual school, which offers great learning advantages to kids of all ages. It’s very clean, beautifully decorated, spacious, and inviting. Definitely a top choice for anyone looking for a daycare/preschool in Aurora.

Our 20 month old son has developed a great deal in just his first month at ikid. The activities are great and the environment is cheerful. Olga is amazing; I have no idea how she remembers each child and parent. Would highly recommend!

One of the best, most professional and clean daycare centers that I have come across! Both on East and West coast! Highly reccomend!

We chose this daycare because my daughter at the time was 18 months old and had never had anyone other than family care for her. But when we walked in Ms. Olga made her feel so welcome and comforted. She got down on my daughter’s level and spoke directly to her and then took her hand and showed her around while explaining things to me and my husband. Both of our children love IKid Academy and their teachers.

My son attends iKid Academy and I cant say enough wonderful things about the facility and the staff. Olga and my sons teachers are all extremely nice and communicative about how my sons day was. The facility is immaculately clean and safe. Being a first time mom, it was hard for me to find a day care facility that I trusted to care for my little one. My husband and I know we made the right choice.

Ikid is a great daycare. My infant son is always happy and entertained when I pick him up. They were able to get him in a schedule and always fill out an infant report for us everyday.

All three kids adore Ikid. My oldest who finished and is going to kindergarten misses Ikid so much and comes back everyday when she picks up her older siblings just to say hi to the teachers she misses and the manager and owner Olga.The teacher in the preschool class is superb, my oldest has really gotten prepared for kindergarten and was reading and ahead of her class before starting kindergarten. In the last class, homework packet had to be done once a week which really prepares kids for school.The organization is great. Kids have a daily schedule which is organized extremely well. They also have three scheduled meals, breakfast, lunch, early dinner (at 4 pm). The food is amazing. For lunch they get soup, protein, a balanced meal.I highly recommend Ikid to all parents. Mom of four.

My oldest son has been going here since he was almost 1 and is now almost 3. He loves going every day, and is so happy when I pick him up! Now that he is older they have structured curriculum for the kids to do every day, and I feel like he is learning so much and so quickly! Love the teachers, love the owner, love the classrooms. When people ask me where I take my son, I can’t say enough good things about Ikid Academy. My 8 month old will be starting here in just a few months as well!

Love this daycare. Only reason we had to leave was because we moved out of state. Highly recommend!!!

Excellent place to play and learn! Safe, clean, fun! My two boys (2 and 4 years old) simply love it! Highly recommended!

Olga and her team have built a really impressive day care for the families of Aurora. Im sad to switch to a different day care due to reasons beyond my control, but Im more nervous that no other day care will reach my expectations after Olga has set them so high. I wish her the best of luck and Id like to reassure the lucky family that gets to fill the vacancy our daughter is leaving at iKid. Youve made a great choice in picking this facility. Thanks again Olga!

My 4 year old son goes here. Its an absolutely wonderful place. Everyone there really shows they care about the well being of each child. Its also very clean, and well kept.The owners are almost always there, and really show they love what they do, and this shows in the over all quality of iKid Academy.If youre looking for a really high level pre-school/day care you should give iKid Academy a try, Im sure youll love it.

As a new mom it is hard to leave your baby with someone else when youre returning to work. Im so happy we found a place where I know my child is safe and gaining new experiences. The staff are warm and welcoming and my baby has a HUGE smile on his face each time I take him in and he sees them.

My son is in the preschool program and you can genuinely feel the love they have for each student. I feel like my son is truly cared for and not just another student. Very advanced curriculum I am thrilled with the progress my son has made and feel like he is more then ready for kindergarten next year.

All I know is that my kid is happy when he goes to iKid. He gladly goes to daycare and seems happy when I pick him up. We havent had a negative experience yet. The fact that they have a full course kitchen is a huge plus-especially for the price.

My son has been at ikid for a year now and he has flourished academically and socially!! He loves going everyday. I love that they have a chef who cooks wonderful meals! I highly recommend this place :)

My two year old daughter absolutely loves attending iKid and I couldnt recommend it enough. The staff are amazing, the food menu mostly organic and the facility itself is amazing including a large outdoor playground and inside tiny town that emulates a city and has buildings with multiple floors, etc. Most importantly the entire staff is very clearly dedicated to the highest standards of education including music lessons, multimedia learning, arts and crafts, etc. This place rocks.

Our little one has been in care at I kid Academy for over a year now. We cant say enough about this place! She loves going to school, loves her teachers and the food! They make 3 homemade meals a day with snacks in between. She never comes home hungry which is extremely helpful to her mom and dad after working all day.Olga the director is always professional and loving with the kidos. She has always addressed any concerns as soon as they came up. IKid is an extension of our family. Our daughter thrives in their care and is even learning a second language! Amazing!-Vanessa

I cant say enough amazing things about this place. Super clean, super friendly, super workable! My kids love it and I love that I feel good leaving them here!

I have absolutely no doubt that my son learnt a lot during his time at iKid Academy. He adjusted fairly well into daycare for the first time, and after about a month or two, actually started eating the soup they have for lunch every day. The food is made fresh and they get a good variety. Its not just cheddar snacks and Cheerios, its fruits, yoghurt, oats and yes, sometimes Cheerios.They have the absolutely cheapest rates around for part time care, you can pick your days and were very flexible when I needed extra days. And of the majority of places that we were on the waitlist for, were the quickest to have a spot open up.That said, the main reason why we left was that, one of his teachers didnt speak any English at all. My son is 18 months old now, was 14-15 months while we were there. We let the director, Olga, know that his speech was a concern of ours when we did the tour and were assured that all teachers spoke English. (Everyone is Russian is you havent read other reviews) Now he did start saying new words the week we started, but weather or not it was coincidence, who knows. Hes started copying me at home that week too.The secondary reason, was that my son was getting bitten and the teachers only saw it once. Its their literal job to watch them. I get it, sometimes you look away and stuff goes down. But he was bitten on 4 occasions and in the end I was told he was biting himself. Enough to leave a big red bite mark...hes never done that before and hasnt done it since leaving ikid. So either he was super stressed there or it wasnt my son biting himself. Hes never been bitten at his current school.Other reasons why we didnt love the place:Regularly out of ratio, even after I told them that it was happening, I was told that the teacher was instructed to poop quickly and get back....no pun intended but wheres the floater?Kids under 2 get screen time, especially at drop offNot sure they were always filling out the daily report properly....sometimes yes sometimes no.They were starving him of water initially and he was continually getting sunburned. They did listen when we told them to give him lots of water.They used someone elses rash cream on him and told me to bring some. Id taken in a brand new tube on day 1 which was located in a drawer with his sunscreen...so not sure whos sunscreen he was wearing either.I was told that my son wasnt picking his feet up when hes walking and falling down a lot. I was told a few times...and it confused me because some kids are not even walking by then! Hes 15 months old!! Olga made a big deal about it on our last day. Told me to practice with him at home. She told me that an OT would be concerned. Which my OT, and one of my best friends, is NOT.They dont have an app for daily reports and photos but you get texted photos from the director. If theres other kids in the photo you get a group text with their parents, which I feel like is a bit of a security breech. Sometimes you dont get the texts till 10pm that day, and usually you get them every day. But apparently their internet is slow? The teachers take the pictures on iPads and they all get uploaded to the directors phone or computer at the same time. Im sorry but I want the photos while Im at work missing him, now while Im sleeping.

My son loves this daycare and looking forward to go back every day.

Ikid Academy is one of the best, the teachers are so friendly and the director is awesome. My son have really been doing well academically.

Best daycare in town! Daugher enrolled since summer and loves it, big new rooms, friendly staff, restaurant kitchen serving home style meals and great curriculum. Highly recommend.

Our daughter has learned so much there. She loves it!

When my husband and I were expecting our first child, we started researching and visiting several daycare centers in our area. Like all mothers, I wanted the best for my baby, and was nervous with this being my first child. I had thought I had a place picked out, but we scheduled a visit to iKid Academy anyway as our final tour. I remember going in not expecting for anything to change my mind. I wasnt crazy about the location being in a shopping center, or it being a larger sized facility. However, this location was priced the best, so we thought it wouldnt hurt to check it out. From the moment I walked in, I was blown away. The owner, Olga, gave us a personal tour that lasted about an hour (when other locations just gave us a 15 minute walk through). The environment for each classroom is personalized to make fun areas for the different age groups. It is a clean and safe environment. The teachers are very caring and engaging with the children. Our baby has been attending for 7 months now, and we get a detailed sheet of her day as well as a recap conversation from the teachers. The owner personally sends pictures to me most days of my daughter playing through out the day. The big thing that sold me and my husband were the other children. Through out our initial tour, and even still today the other children are constantly running up to hug the owner. You cant stage or fake that kind of enthusiasm from a child, and can clearly see the children love it there. Olga also has the best memory I have ever seen because she knows everyones names and schedules. This is a fantastic and nurturing environment. My husband and I feel 100% confident leaving our baby in the hands of these teachers. I never take the time to write reviews, but this place completely deserves 5 stars!

This daycare is organized, clean, and full of caring professionals. I would recommend to anyone.

Good school , but they need more profesional teachers and need to be more patient because my daughter was in the school and just because she was trying to adapt to the school, they kicked her out

Our daughter has been with IKid Academy since she was 3months old (21months now). All of the teachers know her name and always greet her with a smile! My husband and I didnt go to daycare when we were little, so we were really nervous on her first day. Olga and Irena made all three of us feel INCREDIBLY comfortable as soon as we walked in the door. I remember my husband and I touring IKid before our daughter was born and meeting Olga for the first time. We came in without an appointment to really see how the place looked and was running- Olga was nothing but kind and welcoming and the entire place was SO clean and all the kids were happy! I didnt see a single child upset or wanting to go home. Olgas tour was thorough and answered ALL of our questions before we could even ask any. I could go on and on about all the great things I have seen the school do for our daughter. The kids are happy, the food they have is wonderful (homemade!), and, most importantly, my daughter loves it! This was the first place we had toured and other places didnt even compare. The amount of communication, care and compassion the IKid Team provides to all of their children and parents is something I never expected- I have been completely blown away with how amazing Olga runs IKid Academy!

We have been going to this place for 3.5 years. Wonderful teachers,freshly cooked meals, lots of activities.

We absolutely LOVE Ikid Academy! ❤️😍This is THE place for you babies, infants & toddlers to grow & develop. 🤓IKid is preparing your children to kindergarten in the best possible way. They have an excellent educational programs, amazing teachers and great food. Your child will be thrilled to wake up every morning to go there, and will be sad to leave at the end of the day.Furthermore, Ikid puts a big weight to not only teach your kids all the needed preschool program but most importantly, Ikid educates the future generation to probably the most important things: Manners, respect, patience and proper communication!They help us, the parents, to create better people. 🥰Moreover, doesn’t matter how challenging your kid is, how active and energetic, they will do everything possible to make him feel loved and welcomed, and to the parents, feel relaxed and calm knowing your most precious thing in life is safe and happy!Before Ikid, my kids went to a different preschool where not only they were not taught anything and weren’t prepared properly to kindergarten/school, but the teachers and the director made (to one of my kids) to feel sad on daily basis. They were not encouraging positive behavior whatsoever but were only noticing the negative one, what made my child to feel not loved and unconfident. They had forced me to pick him up every day earlier , before nap time cause they couldn’t “deal” with him; and all this while I was expecting my third child, thing that did put me under a tremendous stress and discomfort during the pregnancy. I took my kids out of there in the middle of the year and despite the long waiting list in iKid Academy, Olga was so amazing and understandable to my situation and took my kids warmly to Ikid. Nonetheless the long drive we have every day to iKid back and forth, transferring our babies there was THE BEST decision me & my husband ever made!My kids are so happy there and my child, who felt so insecure in that old preschool, is having a blast and most importantly, feels loved and cared.I’m super thankful to Olga and all her staff!IKid is not another preschool or just a place where you put your kid at while you’re at work, Ikid is a home and the staff over there is a family! ❤️❤️❤️

I cant say enough good things about Ikid Academy! The director, Olga, is phenomenal, she remembers every child and every parents names and the kids adore her! My 3 year old has been attending since June and everyday she is excited to go to school, learn and see her teachers and friends. The teachers in her class are also amazing! The have really put in the effort to know and care for my child. Even on the days when my daughter may cry at drop off (lets face it, separation anxiety still exists even if they love where they go all day) the teachers welcome her into their arms and quickly divert her attention to a fun activity and by the time I pick her up, shes had a super fun day! I highly recommend ikid academy!

We started 3 weeks ago, great daycare.

Thank you Ikid! Very satisfied with your care and education!

We got lucky getting into iKid! Olga cares about all the kids in iKid and they all love her!

We really like it and son also!

Best Day Care in Denver metro!

My son LOVES it!! Everyone is so welcoming and sweet!!!

Awesome!

Love this place!

Magnificent garden, clean, pleasant and cozy. Friendly staff, attentive and caring educators. Children are given developmental classes according to age, as well as musical lessons. Tasty and healthy food. A huge amount of gaming and educational material. Excellent sites (children are separated by age). Complied with all security measures, there is video surveillance. Absolutely pleased with this garden, and most importantly, the children go with great pleasure, do not want to leave and are looking forward to the next day to meet with their friends and favorite teachers. And it says a lot!

Super kindergarten!
