I really love and appreciate the State of Illinois Child Development Center. It has been a great experience for my son. He was basically non verbal when he began going to the center, now his speech has definitely improved (I can’t get him to be quiet anymore.. lol) that now he knows all of his colors, ABC’s, weekdays and can count to 100. To Ms. K, Ms. Jackee, Ms. Sarah, Ms. Tasha Ms. Candice and Ms. Charmaine and anyone else that plays a role in his day to day at school, I appreciate you all!!! Thanks.

We couldn’t be happier with Kandiland Friendswood! The staff has been incredibly welcoming and attentive. They create a nurturing environment that fosters creativity and learning. Our son absolutely loves going to daycare every day! The classroom activities are engaging, the extracurricular programs are a great enhancement and we appreciate the daily updates that keep us informed about his progress. It’s clear that the staff genuinely cares about each child’s well-being and development. We highly recommend Kandiland Friendswood to any parent looking for a safe, fun, and educational place for their little ones.

"I truly feel they care deeply about his well-being..."

Kandiland Day School has been an incredible blessing to our family. Before finding Kandiland, my son had attended two other daycares. What stood out to me during our tour was the warm and welcoming environment, the experienced and dedicated staff, and the strong Christian values they uphold. My son has been attending Kandiland for a year now and absolutely loves it. Every teacher knows him by name, and I truly feel they care deeply about his well-being. It has been such a positive experience for us!

Read More

We have LOVED our experience with Kandiland. From the very first day they’ve made us feel like family. Ms Jennifer, Ms Courtney, Ms Marisa, Ms Zendré, Ms Lacey…literally everyone there is heaven sent. Our 4 year old daughter had so much fun and made so many friends. She grew so much in her education and fine motor skills, it was like a night and day difference! I can’t recommend this school enough for your babies. They teach, nurture and love your children like they are their own.

I am at ease with this program. The teachers are very involved with the kids. So many different life skills the kids get to take hands on! I also love the fact, they celebrate holidays & birthdays! Communication is wonderful! & the director is understanding, & definitely reasonable for individual situations! Love this program! We are in it for the long run!

"The teachers are always coming up with fun and creative things for the kids..."
Read More

My son has been attending Kandiland his entire life. The staff absolutely loves him and he truly enjoys going to school every day. The teachers are consistently wonderful. The teachers are always coming up with fun and creative things for the kids to do, and they really do so much to foster an environment where the kids can really flourish. It’s so easy for the parents to become friends as well, and get the kids together outside of the school. We absolutely love Kandiland for our son and will be genuinely sad when he ages out.

- Brandi Gray

"They have fun activities they plan for the kiddos and host extracurricular classes..."
Read More

My children have been attending this daycare for almost two years and I am beyond pleased with the treatment of the kids. The staff makes me feel like my boys are part of their family. They follow an education curriculum with plenty of outside time. They have fun activities they plan for the kiddos and host extracurricular classes or events geared for different ages. They use a wonderful app that allows you to message the teachers with questions and they are always happy to answer. Kandiland checks all the boxes for me and I highly recommend them.

My daughter is in the infant room and my son is in the afterschool program. We love this center. The teachers in the infant room are phenomenal, their communication style is top notch. They really love and care for these babies like they are their own. I could not say enough good things about the director Kelly she is caring, accommodating and has your families best interest at heart. I have never felt like my children and I were a tuition check, I truly trust that my children are in the best hands there.

"Kandiland is always reassuring that they’re taking great care of my sweet baby..."
Read More

My daughter started Kaniland about a month ago and I have nothing but AMAZING things to say. Daycare can be scary for a first time mom like me but Kandiland is always reassuring that they’re taking great care of my sweet baby. She has already learned so much from this school and is upset when she has to leave at the end of the day. It makes my heart happy when I can go to work or school knowing my daughter is happy and being taken care of! We also LOVE Ms Sarah and the whole kandiland group!❤️

"All the teachers are amazing and have been such a big help with his transition..."
Read More

Kandiland has been amazing, my son has been going since January of this year and i was afraid because we had made such a big move for our whole family and didn’t know how he would do. Now every-time we walk-in or out everyone knows him and he loves going every single day! All the teachers are amazing and have been such a big help with his transition. Can’t express what a good feeling it is to know your child feels so comfortable in his daycare, definitely would recommend to anyone searching for a daycare.

"They’re respectful and they don’t let parents walk all over them when there’s an issue..."
Read More

I can’t say enough good things about this place. My wife and I have been sending our kids to Kandiland for thee years now (since they were infants). They communicate very well. They clearly care about the kids. They’re respectful and they don’t let parents walk all over them when there’s an issue. I feel 100% safe sending my kids there. The place is clean, they don’t tolerate biting or kids being sick. This place has been a real blessing! Ps. They’re affordable too. Very reasonably priced.

Read More

I enrolled my son here at Kandiland Westover. My son has absolutely blossomed and just been so happy ever since we enrolled. He stated self feeding and eating well. Is napping and sleeping consistently which was always a struggle. Vaneel has been so wonderful everyday making sure my questions are answered and protected my son when she didn't recognize someone to get him! I am so looking forward to many more years with my son here and deepening our family bond at Kandiland!

- Melissa Davis

"They are wonderful at communicating with parents about events and activities..."
Read More

I have both my boys at Kandiland for the the past 2 years (2018) for MDO and pre school and love it. They genuinely love and care about my children. They remained open with a new protocol with covid and that was so wonderful for my children to have that structure and normalcy in a safe learning environment when everything else had changed. They are wonderful at communicating with parents about events and activities that are going on to make each day fun and exciting for my kids.

"The app that they have to see what my baby does through out the day is awesome..."
Read More

I had sooo many doubts about putting my baby in day care with this crazy world and the people in it!!! But the ladies at raising stars are amazing!!! Kamilla adores them and I feel comfortable with her going there. The app that they have to see what my baby does through out the day is awesome. I'm obsessed with the app!! I would definitely recommend this day care for any one looking.
