Our twins were at Kids' Work for just over a year before we moved. I cannot say enough good things about the teachers and staff. Our boys loved going everyday, and the pictures and updates that they sent always made my day. I could tell they genuinely cared about our boys. We will truly miss them!

We started at KW in December and have been very happy with the teachers, the staff, and the curriculum. The catering is healthy and diverse and we really like the indoor and outdoor play space options

I have been quite happy with all of the Staff at Kidswork. They communicate information well, provide daily photos and frequent updates/memos, and they provide a ton of different activities(which rotate throughout the week) that my son learns from and talks about after school.The original selling point for me was that you can choose what days of the week you child attends, from 2 to 5 days. This was his first daycare/preschool at three years old and I have been surprised at how quickly he adjusted to the change and grew to love going to school.I would recommend this daycare/preschool for any age based on my experience.

Hesitant to write this review because some teachers are amazing, but once our son went upstairs, we started seeing and experiencing things that made me uncomfortable. A teacher (Damen classroom) got frustrated with our child & manhandled him. My husband saw this from the tiny window on the classroom door. In that same classroom, I saw a teacher, who is no longer, there flip a cot on a kid who was climbing it. She did it without warning & the boy fell. This happened earlier this year & we decided to take our son out. It took me a while to write this review because I normally don’t do this, & people told me not to write it because we’ve experienced lovely teachers there. I’m sorry-I feel a responsibility to parents. It happened about 5 months ago & this experience still comes up.Ms. Lindsey was great with navigating this, but it was just sad to have experienced this.

My wife and I went on a tour to this location because we wanted to enroll our 3 children since it was close to our home but I left really disappointed. Everything was going great, Lindsay, one of the establishment's director was showing us different rooms and they all looked great. I unfortunately had to go use the bathroom so Lindsay pointed the bathroom that was on the second floor. After I finished, was heading back to my wife and Lindsay, when I accidentally overheard on the office nearby how two directors were talking so badly and condescendingly about multiple people. One with the name Crystal was laughing very loudly and making rude comments about someones appearance. I only know her name because the other person said her name. These are two grown adult women talking about others in such a rude way, you can just imagine what type of things they say about their staff and how they are treated. I just overheard 1 minute of it and was disgusted. So if you treat your staff like they are garbage, I can just imagine what they might say about the kids and the parents. At least have the decency to respect your staff and have some professionalism. So sad this is the world we live in now.

Kids' Work is an amazing daycare! My youngest daughter attended summer camp this past year and it was perfect. Over 12 years ago when I met Sarah & the Kids' Work team, I knew it was the place for our family. Having a happy, safe, fun, & loving environment is the top priority. The new facility is beautiful! I highly recommend Kids' Work for your family!

I cannot speak highly enough of the experience my family has had at Kids' Work. Both my children, a five year old son and a three year old daughter, have gone to Kids' Work since they were 4 months old and the teachers, administrators and other parents have become the village that has helped our family survive and thrive, especially the last few years. The way the teachers at every level care for the students and the way the community comes together is something I will always be grateful for. My son entered kindergarten this year and it was a bit of a difficult transition for both him and me as we said good-bye to the family he had known for so long. I'm glad my daughter has two more years in this warm, welcoming environment and grateful for the Kids' Work ethos that has helped shape our amazing kiddos.

We feel fortunate to have been a "Kids Work family" for the past 10 years. All of our children were always happy to go to school and were clearly loved and cared for while there. The preschool education is top-notch and we are impressed with how prepared each one of our children was for the next step in their educational journey. We are forever grateful to the Kids Work team for the loving and educational start they've helped to provide our family.

We love Kids' Work Chicago Riverview. Our son was at 2 other daycares over the last 5 years (given the pandemic) before we landed at Kids' Work Chicago and my only regret is not finding it sooner. The teachers are incredible, the administrators top notch and the facility is a dream. My son flourished in their care, so much so, that we moved our daughter from a Montessori-esque daycare in the area to Kids' Work because of the outstanding care they provide. If you are thinking about enroll, do not think again, just do it. You will not regret it! We love KWCR!

We’ve been very happy and constantly impressed with the staff and teachers at Kids Work. Our daughter started pre-k at CPS recently and she absolutely loved her time at Kids Work. The curriculum at Kids Work has prepared her for success as she continues her educational journey. Highly recommend Kids Work for anyone who is looking.

Kids Work is a great environment to have your kids in. They are so welcoming and friendly. The classrooms are decorated beautifully and the teachers take the time to help and understand the children. I love it and would stay forever if I can.

I cannot list all the great things about this place! It is so well kept and clean. Everyone is happy and ready to go in the morning. I had two boys here and teachers were always keeping updated with their learning, growth spurts and meals. Kids' Work made it so easy to drop off my kids everyday! Even with teachers that were not part of the classroom, everyone was great with kids. Staff work environment seemed great because staff were always excited to be there and it showed when interacting with families. Also quick shout out to Ms. Nichol in Belmont classroom who is such a great human. I hope every kid gets to meet a teacher like her!

My 5-year-old daughter recently attended summer camp at Kids Work Chicago, and the experience was nothing short of extraordinary. The team at Kids Work fostered a nurturing and interactive environment where she not only had loads of fun but also learned so much. They have a unique blend of educational activities, mixed with pure summer joy like outdoor water play and nature walks. In addition, they partnered with local child centered businesses like Lil Kickers, Goldfish Swim School, and Kid Create Studio that kept her engaged and eager for each day.The staff at Kids Work Chicago were outstanding in their commitment to making each day special. My daughter came home each day brimming with stories of the day's activities and new friendships she had formed. I am deeply grateful for the positive experience she had. Thank you, Kids Work Chicago, for making my daughter's summer a memorable one.

Kids’ Work is truly our child’s home away from home. You will not find a more caring, thoughtful, understanding, or nurturing group of individuals in Chicago. Kids’ Work has been so incredibly good to our family and we highly recommend!
