I advise you to stay away from this kindergarten More than once I heard from parents that children are being bullied there and I was convinced of it when I heard outside the door the abnormal screams of a teacher in a small group and claps as if she hit a child and began to take the toy shouting at other children . When I complained to the manager, they hid everything and made a fool of me and kicked out my child.

This daycare has brought my little one so much joy. It breaks my heart taking away him away from here and the only reason is because we moved. The teachers are amazing, my son was happy and did not want to go home. I recommend this daycare to all the parents out there searching for a safe, kind and fun place. I wish they opened up near us!

Dont bring your kids here if they dont speak polish. All the kids and teachers only speak in polish. They wont bother training a new teacher who speaks english. The teachers they keep around are personal friends with the manager Magement is unorganized and unprofessional. If you want your kids to be prepared to go to an English speaking public school dont send them here. They wont learn anything. The kids themselves are violent and not disciplined, especially the principals son, he distracts the class and gets special treatment. Its pure chaos in the classrooms. All they do is let the children run around and play games. If you are not personal friends with the principal, dont work here either, the other employees wont help you unless you know polish and are the principals friends. The turnover rate for teachers is high. - Former employee who spoke English and was promised to be trained before getting shoved into the job.

I am very happy with the preschool/kindergarten.Very clean place, fresh food daily three delicious meals. Dedicated and friendly teachers. Good contact parents-teachers.Kids learn in polish and english, they have a great, high level teaching program. Im very happy with Happy Kids preschool on Irving park. Most important my son loves it. I feel he is always under great care, safe and really cared for. Im very proud my son goes to Happy Kids on Irving Park. Im looking forward to next year of Kindergarten. Pani Judyta will be preparing kids for the 1st great of American school, yet my son will be still in his comfortable, well known environment where he feels safe.

Great people taking great care of our kids!!! Will definitely recommend this place! Keep up the good work!!

This is a great daycare and I highly recommend it especially for parents wanting to have their kids be exposed to Polish language, culture, traditions and food. My daughter has been going here for the past 3 years, and I have nothing but great things to say about the experience shes had. Especially and to call out Pani Krysia and Pani Yana - they are the two teachers that my daughter has fallen in love with because they have had her in their classes over the years. The Director, P. Beata, has always been professional and warm with an eye out for the best of the kids - being communicative and present. The kids are well fed with traditional Polish cuisine, getting exposure to more than simply chicken fingers :) - I am saddened by some of the reviews I see here to be honest and this is why I am writing this.As to one of the comments regarding that the parents arent allowed into the main class area - this is extremely important and smart - and (!!) there is a note explaining why on the door - which makes perfect sense. If asked, parents are welcome to see the class areas and where the kids eat. Personally I am happy that not everyone has access to where my child is - we cannot foresee who is safe or healthy to enter - so I agree with the Director in enforcing this fully.Again - I 100% have had a great experience at Happy Kids and would recommend it highly.Thank you - Iwona

Excellent Day Care!My 2 year old loves it! Learned so much in the past few months! Always comes and goes with a smile:) she loves her teachers and keeps talking about them and her friends from daycare all day long.. what she did, what she learned...one thing I need to add is that she must love the food at daycare cuz sometimes she even asks for more, and is always full when she comes home. She is very picky eater, so they must make something she really likes...Have to admitt she never came out of school with dirty clothes or face. Always taken care of and I love it!

I love that place. The best daycare ever.

100% the best one😀

Ladies very warm and nice. Great kindergarten! My daughter is happy!

My grandson is 4 years old and he has been going to this kindergarten since he was 15 months old. Every lady he was in class was amazing. We are very pleased with its development. Very interesting activities are organized in the kindergarten. Children prepare great performances for parents. The ladies take the children to the park for picnics, to the fire station, to the library .... Children go on many trips. Nothing more can be desired.

Dear Greg Kaminski, I wonder why you brought your daughter to our kindergarten over the last 3 years, if you are so much reborn as our kindergarten. Everything was fine until we noticed your wife that we were fed up with drilling the teachers and her inappropriate behavior in kindergarten. Kindergarten is not a bazaar. We teach children respect for others and control their emotions, and your wife behaved like someone completely ignorant of the principles of good manners. You were expelled from one kindergarten when the little one was several months old, now I am throwing you out of mine. Is something wrong with your wife? Its great to use someone as much as you can. Do not pay extra to copay for several years - because we can not afford it, but if someone notices you, you can hide it all over the Internet. As I wrote to you in the statement you received on Thursday: I wish you success in finding better care for your daughter than in our kindergarten. By the way, I think it is not fair to ask colleagues who have never been with us (like Mark Xoxo) to write nonsense on us on Facebook or write us one star each. Regards. Director and owner of the Happy Kids kindergarten

I am a mother of a former Happy Kids kindergarten pupil. I have decided to write these reviews for a number of reasons that I think everyone who contemplates entrusting their child care at this place should know.My daughter was deprived of pre-school care overnight after more than three years. No communication, no advance notice, so that I would have time to find another place, for no apparent reason. Such a drastic decision came about after the question posed by the school principal - why do the teaching staff change so often?Without elaborating on the story, he gives several facts that are worth paying attention to:Parents are not able to see the rooms in which the children are staying. One lock has joined another in the last weeks. Parents are only able to enter the vestibule. Why?The places from which the food served to the children is purchased are kept secret, changes are not communicated. Are children properly fed?I estimate that during the 3-year stay of my child in the kindergarten, about 20 people of staff changed. Why such a rotation?The headmaster asks directly for positive reviews of the kindergarten on the Internet. All non-positive ones are deleted. Currently, there are the most grades from people who do not attend kindergarten. Please pay attention to the names in the reviews, is this a Polish pre-school - why is there an advantage of surnames of other nationalities?I LEAVE JUDGMENTS AND CONCLUSIONS TO STATES in which the intelligentsia do not doubt and who read these words. I hope it will reach some of the parents who are considering this place. I warn you, there are many other, safer and more professional places for your children.Mom of a former pupilI am a mother of a toddler who used to go to Happy Kids Preschool.I decided to write this review for couple reasons that I believe all parents, who consider this preschool, should know about.My 4 year old daughter who attended this establishment for over 3 years was terminated with no warning, no explanation and no time given to find another place. I only assume this decision was affected by the question I asked the principal- “why is there such a high turnover in teachers here?”I would like to keep this review short and to the point, so couple facts I would like to present:-Parents are unable to see the rooms kids are in, only hallway is accessible. Rooms with kids are locked with no one, but two locks! Why?- Places that food for kids is delivered change very often and parents are not informed about the changes. Are the kids fed properly?-During my experience with the Happy Kids for around 3 years-approximately 20 person were hired and left the place. Why such turnover?-Principal asks parents directly for positive reviews on the internet. All bad reviews are deleted right away. Currently majority of online reviews are signed with names that are not polish- and there is only few kids that are not polish in preschool. Why fake reviews?I will leave the conclusion to anyone who is reading this. I hope I can shed some light to anyone, who is considering this place. There are many better, safer and professional places.Mom

My child goes to Belmont, but I had the opportunity to meet the ladies of Irving during joint trips, replacements ... Przesympatyczne Lord. A great crew!

Very good kindergarten. Teachers are very polite and nice, always available to help. They keep us informed about the child and what progress he has made. I see after two years how much our son will develop in every respect, the classes are interesting and the son gladly talks about them at home. Children go on trips at least once a month, which also affects their development. I am delighted with this place and I see our child willingly staying there. I highly recommend this place.

I recommend the Happy KIDS Kindergarten. Ladies are very kind and helpful children. Clean and tidy kindergarten. My daughter is happy when she goes to kindergarten and Im happy that I leave her in good hands and I dont have to worry about anything. The food is healthy and tasty.

The kindergarten is great. Super care. The atmosphere and babysitting revelation. I RECOMMEND.P.S. Mrs. Kasia suggests giving up the houses and raising the child yourself, but it can hurt them a little by concluding after the mothers mental disorder. Regards

The best kindergarten in Chicago. Well-kept children, caring teachers, good Polish food, a great clean place for every child. I highly recommend.The best daycare in Chicago for many reasons. The children are well taken care of by the wonderful teachers. The children are served delicious polish food and the daycare is very clean and well maintained. I highly recommend this place.

Cute and very cute. Safe place
