“My granddaughter has gone there for a couple of years. It's so wonderful hearing her talk now and writing her name. We can actually have conversations and she loves her books. After I've read one to her for a couple of weeks she is able to read it to me, I'm so happy with this school. And they really do care about the kids.”

“We love Brewster Creek KinderCare! Miss Keirsten, Sarah, Kayla, Miss Alana are just a few names amongst the great and caring staff! It’s our son’s first time attending preschool and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Constant feedbacks, learning new things everyday, fun activities, he’s become so much more independent. From early mornings til late afternoons , always happy to see smiling and friendly faces.”

“Our son has been taking drumset lessons with John for about a year and he has learned so much! John and the Hix Brothers Music School staff have been wonderful and we would highly recommend them if you're looking to get your son/daughter lessons!”

“My daughter loves ECOLE and she practiced all month for her end of year show! Tres pecesitos is on repeat in the car and couldn’t be more thankful for her teachers Ms. Emily and Ms. Analí for the great day to day teaching and support they do for the kids.”

“I have nothing but positive things to say about this school and Meghan P. specifically she is always very helpful, takes the time to answer any questions, and always has a positive attitude I am greatful for her and the staff.”

“As I look back on the years my children have been at La Petite, the person I think about most is Ms. Tina. She truly is the heart and glue of that place. She doesn’t just run the center—she makes it feel like home.
Ms. Tina cares deeply about every teacher and every family, treating everyone as if they were her own. She gives so much of herself every single day, even when she’s not feeling her best, always showing up and giving 100%.
The children absolutely adore her and always have the kindest things to say. Her impact is felt in every corner of the center. I am beyond grateful for everything she does.
Honestly, I don’t know what anyone would do without her. The week she was absent, it just wasn’t the same.”

“I love love love this place for my daughter, they are so polite, patient and kind! Their very caring, and they treat your kids as if they was their own! My daughter has been going here since 6 months and she loves it! They teach them other languages and more, my baby so advanced at the age of two! I promise parents you will not regret having your child to attend their facility!”

“My daughter has had a wonderful experience at Acarath Montessori. The environment is welcoming, supportive, and focused on helping each child grow both academically and personally.
Ms. Jessica, is amazing with my daughter. She is incredibly patient, understanding, and truly has taken the time to connect with her. It’s clear that she cares.
I’m very grateful for the positive impact the school and teachers have had on my daughter’s development. I would definitely recommend Acarath Montessori to other families looking for a nurturing and attentive learning environment. Worth every penny!!!”

“If you're reading reviews, chances are you're searching for the right place to care for and educate your child. Primrose of Carol Stream is an excellent place to start and very likely a one-stop.

Our two children attended Primrose of Carol Stream for four years and are now heading off to kindergarten. They are confident, kind, well-mannered, eager to learn, and we credit much of that development to the awesome teachers and curriculum at Primrose.

The teachers are nurturing, dedicated professionals who genuinely love working with young children. Throughout our four years at the school, we had positive experiences with every teacher our children had. The owner is personable, approachable, and deeply invested in the success of the school. The administrative team has always been supportive and welcoming.

If you're new to private childcare, the cost may initially come as a shock. However, you have to look at it through the lens of it being an investment in your child's development during their most formative years. For our family, it was worth every penny.

My wife and I would not have done anything differently. We are incredibly happy with our experience at Primrose of Carol Stream and proud of the young children our kids have become as they move on to kindergarten.”

“We were a Childtime Glen Ellyn family for many years. They did a fabulous job preparing my youngest for kindergarten. I also loved all the crafts they made each year and all the outside time they got. I feel that this childcare center had a great balance of play, academics and hands on experiences as well as arts and crafts. Highly recommended”

“Cadence has been such a family friendly, engaging, and high quality center! Infants-school age, they have it all. They host great events that allow families to really be a part of their child's education. We love Cadence and highly recommend it!”

“This was the absolute best choice we could’ve made for our kid. West Carol Stream KinderCare has the most dedicated staff of teachers providing a safe, nurturing, growing community that we are so grateful and honored to be a part of. From a tiny newborn to now a toddler, she is still always excited for drop off. We love the daily communication and updates. She has flourished in all milestones. She’s genuinely happy. We are genuinely happy. I consider this staff especially as extended family and as a new 1st year parent that’s all you can ask for, a village that she also loves.”

“We’ve had a wonderful experience with The Goddard School of Carol Stream over the past year and a half. My son started here when he was three years old, and from the very beginning, I was impressed. The entire staff from front offices to classroom assistants are warm, attentive, and clearly dedicated to creating a positive and nurturing environment for the kids.
Further, one thing that really stood out to me was the consistency of the staff. Coming from the city, turnover was an issue with previous daycares. There has been very little turnover here, which speaks volumes about how the daycare is run. Mr. Martin is consistently on site and very engaged with day to day operations. It also gave me great peace of mind knowing my son was seeing familiar, trusted faces every day.
The facility itself is always clean and well-maintained, which was incredibly important to us as parents. It’s clear they take pride in creating a safe and healthy space for the children.
Most importantly, I’ve seen tremendous growth in my son during his time here—socially, emotionally, and academically. He’s gained confidence, built friendships, and developed important skills that have prepared him for summer camp and kindergarten.”

“I couldn’t be happier with Advance Preschool! The staff treats every child with kindness and respect, and it truly feels like a second home. My son has built confidence, friendships, and a love for learning here. Communication is great, and it’s clear how much thought and effort goes into creating a positive, nurturing environment. I am so thankful for the dedication and love the staff shows every single day. Highly recommend!”

“We had a wonderful experience at A+ Plus Dayschool with our three children. After moving from the city, the transition for our oldest was seamless. The teachers are incredibly patient, kind, and caring. The director, Ms. Tangee, and the assistant director, Ms. Dulce, are very hands-on and always available to answer questions through the app. Overall, it was a truly positive and reassuring experience for our family.”

“My 1-year-old has been attending this daycare, and overall we’ve had a good experience. The staff is caring, patient, and attentive to young children’s needs. They keep the environment clean and safe, which gives me peace of mind as a parent. I appreciate the regular updates on my child’s activities, meals, and progress throughout the day.”

“We never had our older child in any type of childcare before they entered into preschool/ kindergarten, so when our life situation needed some extra care for our toddler, I was terrified to even start the search. I had researched a few childcare opportunities and Goddard was by far the best for so many reasons. From the moment you contact them, to the time you leave, safety and comfort for your child is the leading concern. You get daily updates with pictures, if there are issues that need to be communicated- they are prompt, and the educational aspect surpasses so many other locations we toured. Our toddler has eaten foods she won’t even eat at home, and she is always excited to go to school. There are healthy meals, family activities and there are so many safety precautions in place just to enter the building. If you are feeling uneasy about your new search for childcare, reach out to Anisa, Heather or Danny and they’ll reassure you with their knowledgeable and timely responses.”

“We have been part of KinderCare since my children were in Pre-K/Kindergarten, including during the challenging COVID period. During that time, we were given an opportunity to be part of the KinderCare family when others might not have been able to accommodate us due to medical diagnoses—and that meant everything to us.

We are still currently clients, and now my oldest will be graduating from the school-age program due to age, which makes this moment very bittersweet for our family.

The level of communication, the essential training their staff receives, and their willingness to go above and beyond have truly made a difference for us. My children have significant medical needs, including epilepsy and hypoglycemia, and knowing they are in an environment where staff are attentive, informed, and proactive gives me so much peace of mind.

They consistently look out for what’s best for my children, and it shows in the care and compassion they provide every single day.

If you are looking for reliable childcare with trusted staff who treat your children like their own, I highly recommend KinderCare.”

“Kensington has been our favorite part of moving back to the area. The teachers, staff, music instructors, and everyone involved are top-notch. Our little girls have learned so much! On top of that, we've met so many friends, attended so many parties, and have had so much fun. We couldn't be happier with the excellent and very sweet start to life this school has given our little ones.”

“As a first time mom, I was very reluctant to put him into a daycare but working 40 hours a week didn’t give me that option to stay at home. Fast forward to now, I love my son’s teachers. It was such a smooth transition putting him into Tutor Time. They made me feel comfortable and talked and walked me through everything so I was more at ease. My son’s teachers Ms. Amy and Ms. Tatiana are just absolutely amazing! I love having so much access to my son’s activities throughout the day! I can’t thank them enough for being so attentive and so interacting with the kids! Thank you Ms. Amy & Ms. Tatiana, I am so appreciative of your caring attitudes and commitment to my child! Definitely would recommend this daycare to others!”

“We left this daycare in August. It’s now November. I still miss it and I’m sure my kids do too. Both my 2 yr old and my now 1 yr were so well taken cared of. The teachers are so caring and thoughtful. The director always on the look out there. Everyone there is a 5 star! We just miss this place so much. If it wasn’t for the move we would of still been there and living it. Big big kudos to the infant room and toddler room! Keep up the great work.
My babies truly miss ya!
Maria.”

“We can’t say enough good things about this doggy daycare. Our dog absolutely loved coming here and, as pet parents, it meant the world to know they were always in such caring, attentive hands. The staff created a truly wonderful environment and you can tell how much they genuinely care about the dogs. We’ve since moved out of state and will be hard-pressed to find another facility as wonderful as this one. We would recommend them without hesitation to anyone in the area!”

“We absolutely love Stratford Kindercare! As a first-time parent, I was nervous about leaving my daughter in someone else's care, but Ms. Ewelina and the entire team have been so wonderful. They keep me connected throughout the day with regular updates on the app, so I always feel in the loop about what's happening. The teachers in the infant room truly go above and beyond. They're so attentive and caring and they even took the time to do our daughter’s hair for us on picture day. We are moving and we are SO sad to be leaving Stratford Kindercare. 5/5 stars! We highly recommend Stratford Kindercare to any family looking for a caring, attentive daycare center.”

“We absolutely love Goddard! From day one, the teachers and staff have made us feel welcomed, supported, and confident in the care she’s receiving. The environment is nurturing and full of positive energy, and the level of communication with families is fantastic.

Our daughter has grown so much—socially, emotionally, and especially intellectually. She’s incredibly curious and bright, and we truly believe that’s a direct result of the education and personalized attention she receives every day. The curriculum is thoughtful and age-appropriate, and it's clear the staff truly care about each child's development.

We’re so grateful to be part of a community that prioritizes both care and learning in such a meaningful way. Highly recommend!”

“When you have to take a shit the people that watch you are very comforting I think everyone should shit at Glen bard west it really makes you feel whole. Speaking of holes I banged a chick it the bathroom and man did I finish quick.”

“As a first time & single mom, Goddard has been AMAZING for my daughter and I. This was the first place I chose for my daughter... she has been there for almost a year. She has developed rapidly and is learning SO much at Goddard. The place is so clean and has the cutest/fun classrooms. Class curriculum is also very important and Goddard is super organized with how they do it.
On top of all that, staff WILL listen to you if you have any concerns. I, myself, have had a couple in the past and they took the time to listen to me and make me comfortable.

My daughter never wants to leave this place...I pick her up close to closing time because she will throw a fit in the car if I get her before 5pm. Everyone always say hi and bye to my daughter, it is adorable to see!
I also love their open-door policy!! It helped me out in the beginning when I was nervous leaving her there. The teachers are very respectable towards your beliefs as well as your routine (while also following the school's policy and rules).
Teachers Aska, Mia, Marie, Hanza, Bella, Jessica, Jess (who is not there anymore), Shree have been TOP TIER for my daughter. The front staff Tiffany, Hilary, Donna, Dena are wonderful and are always greeting parents at the door!

Overall, this school has been great and I highly recommend this place, especially if it is your first time introducing your child into daycare!”

“Our family used to attend the Itasca Tutortime since 2021 and switched to the Bloomingdale location in March and are so happy! The staff are so kind and patient to everyone. Highly recommend if you are looking for child care with people you can trust with your littles.”

“We had such a great experience at the Ivy Academy in Geneva this week. As a photo partner, we always appreciate a school that is organized, communicative, and child-centered—and this team was all of that and more. The teachers were warm, patient, and clearly love what they do. We’re grateful to have spent time with such a special school community. Thank you Ms. Jessica and team for the wonderful hospitality, we loved our time with you all!”

“This is an update from my first post two years ago.

Our son has graduated preschool! We couldn't be more proud and pleased by the education he has received. He has attended Kripa school since he was 14 months old. Everyone at Kripa has treated us and our son with kindness and respect.

He has learned countless songs and choreography for special celebrations. The crafts and learning activities are meaningful and memorable. His learning has triggered curiosity and participation in adult conversations.

He is more than ready for kindergarten! He is reading CVC words and sight words and even adding and subtracting.He cleans up after completing a task, gets dressed including zipping and buttoning, and helps with daily tasks. He has the social skills to invite others to play outside of school. Additionally, he takes care of others and demonstrates leadership among his peers. He shares and takes turns.

The staff at Kripa have helped our son feel safe and cared for while developing independence. They have made accommodations and allowed him to flourish. They have encouraged our son to eat and try new foods. They have been great partners and collaborators. Thank you, Kripa staff, for all you have done for our family. We will miss you!

A year ago we needed a new challenge for our three year old daughter. We were looking for a place that was close, a place for her to make friends and feel cared for and welcome. Our son, 14 months old also attended. Kripa has exceeded our expectations! Ms Deepa and Ms Urvi are wonderful educators and loving people. They make learning fun, structured and consistent. Our daughter performs basic addition and subtraction problems in her head! I expect her to be an emergent reader by spring.

Ms Liz, Ms Saima, Ms Kiera, and Ms Pooja have provided our son with independent skills, self confidence, fun, developmental learning opportunities and love.

They both have made friends with kids and staff. Everyone here is kind, welcoming and supportive. Ms Dharti is always at work helping out students, families and staff. We are so grateful for everyone’s expertise, kindness and patience.”

“My son has been attending creme de la creme for the past 3 years. The staff is caring, patient, and genuinely invested in the children’s happiness and development. From the moment we walked in, we felt welcomed and confident that our child was in a safe, nurturing environment.

The teachers do an amazing job with learning activities, communication, and keeping the kids engaged throughout the day. We’ve noticed such positive growth in our child’s social skills, confidence, and excitement about learning.

The facility is always clean, organized, and well-managed, and the staff consistently goes above and beyond to make families feel supported. We are so grateful to have found a daycare we can truly trust and highly recommend it to any parent looking for quality childcare!”
