Schools in Crystal Lake, IL

“My son has been attending Thunderbird since the beginning of this school year and we have been so happy with not only the school, but seeing our son so happy to go somewhere just makes my heart glad as a mom. Mrs. Avachat and Mrs. Pletcher are truly amazing and have such a heart for their students. They are so patient and kind. They’ve worked with my son to help write his name and also learn to manage those big emotions 4 year olds have and get him ready for kindergarten. I love the communication from the classroom and the school as well. We get summary sheets each day and then plenty of communication from the school about events, etc. if I ever have a question or concern, they respond to emails so quickly or they will even call me directly to follow-up almost immediately. I love the remind app too.

Mrs. Koch and Mrs. Young have done an amazing job keeping the school so organized and they are so sweet with the kids. We are new to the area and I only learned about Thunderbird when I bumped into a mom at the park and we started talking and she mentioned it’s the best around and her kids and also her husband went there. I’m so glad I met her because that is what prompted me to reach out to Thunderbird and I’m just so glad I did. I have two younger boys who will hopefully be students as well when the time comes. I cannot recommend this school enough. If you are looking for a preschool, you found it!”

“This is our second year at FCP, and we have nothing but good things to say about it! My daughter’s teachers have gone above and beyond to connect with her and make sure this first experience at school is a positive one! They are always planning fun and educational lessons. All of the staff and teachers are so caring and kind - I never doubt that she is well cared for when she is at school. It has been such a blessing for our family to have found FCP!”

“We absolutely love KinderCare. The staff is amazing. Miss Ruth and Miss Emillie are so welcoming. Miss Connie and Miss Amber made the transition for my daughter so easy. She looks forward to going to school everyday. The app is user friendly and they send updates and pictures throughout the day. I have definitely seen an improvement in my daughters vocabulary and motor skills. I am so grateful that we found a school that works for our family.”
