Schools in Des Plaines, IL

“We’ve been part of this daycare for the past five+, and all three of our children have attended since 12-15 months. As a Polish-American family, it was especially important to us that our kids were exposed to the language and culture early on, and this daycare has been a wonderful place for that. The caregivers are incredibly gentle, patient, and genuinely caring. It always gave us peace of mind knowing our kids were in such good hands.

This isn’t only a daycare, the kids learn so much: colors, numbers, shapes, planets, cutting skills, etc. I’ve heard from two different kindergarten teachers that my children came in well ahead of their classmates and have asked where my children attended prior to kindergarten.

We’ve also really appreciated how easy communication is. The app has been a great addition, allowing us to see updates throughout the day and quickly stay on top of anything the kids need. The home-cooked meals are another big plus, and something our children have truly enjoyed. Over the years, our kids have formed lasting friendships, and we’ve gotten to know so many wonderful families as well. We truly can’t recommend this daycare enough.

Huge shoutout to Pani Vera, Pani Ania and Pani Maja for their amazing care. They helped shape my children and I am forever grateful for that solid foundation. Another one to Damian who is backstage, but answers all my emails, fills out paperwork, creates amazing videos of events the kids put on and so much more!”

“A Mother's Touch is the Chicago NW Suburbs Lottery of daycare. I could not be more impressed, more comfortable, and more pleased with the teachers at this institution!! Turnover is low, which to me matters more than anything else. Their communication is top-notch. They treat every kid like they are special and loved. They share concerns in person and send photos and videos of support throughout each day And they are cheaper than a-ny-where close by. And let me tell you, I have done my research. Currently sending my 3 y/o and 8-month-old and this is the only place I think I could manage the cost. This place is the gold standard for what a daycare should be- full of love, laughter, and an impressive degree of patience. TEAM AMT FOR NOW AND FOREVER!”

“We enrolled our son at Millie's and were immensely pleased with the results. We came to them on the recommendation of my cousin, who works in the local school system, and we were not disappointed. They helped my wife and I with the transition of our first child into daycare with grace and compassion. After a week he seemed excited every day for drop off and left with a smile on his face. Their app provided us with great updates and clear evidence of the great attention they were paying to him in terms of eating, sleeping and diaper changes. When our circumstances changed and we needed to change his daycare they were immensely accommodating and understanding. I cannot recommend their services enough to anyone in the area needing a place to trust the care of their children with, and should circumstances change again I would immediately re-enroll our son back into Millie's House.”

“We couldn't be more pleased with the Willows Academy! Our daughter is thriving in every way. He teachers are highly intelligent, dedicated, and nurturing. There are many options for competitive sports, various clubs, and extra curricular activities. There is something for everyone and great friendships are made at the same time. The Willows has been instrumental in the development of my daughter's character, intellect, and her love of God. I could never image sending her anywhere else. We are blessed to be a part of the Willows family!”

“Highly recommend this daycare. Staff is excellent, caring and supportive. Very professional and courteous, good communication, clean environment with COVID-19 restrictions. My child has been there since 8 months and he has learned a lot. Teachers are amazing ?”

“My son started attending here last fall, and we absolutely love it! He’s excited to go to school every single day and always comes home talking about what he learned. Seeing how happy he is makes all the difference.
The school is bright, colorful, and feels like a giant indoor playground—there’s so much for the kids to explore and enjoy. They also have outdoor playgrounds on site and a cook who prepares all of the children’s meals, which is amazing and gives me so much peace of mind.
His teacher, Ms. Adela, is truly wonderful. You can tell she genuinely loves what she does, and my son adores her. The school also goes above and beyond by hosting fun events for the kids and families, like trunk-or-treating, pasta dinners, Christmas shows, and ice cream nights.
The entire staff is incredible. We feel so lucky to have found Kiddie Junction and couldn’t recommend it more!”

“Great IV therapy course. Ana is an excellent instructor. I recommend this course to any RN or nursing student who wants to specialize in infusion, vascular access, oncology or to gain and improve IV placement and CVC management skills.”

“I was here in 1995 or 1996, my biological father was here in the 60s or 70s. So were my brothers. This place was great when I was there. I was like 6 or 7. I remember them taking us to six flags, camping and I remember them giving us a bunch of gifts for christmas. Father Smith was very kind to the children, and I remember us going to Indian grove school. I remember the ziggy building, all that. This was over 30 years ago. The Jordan family came and adopted me and gave me a beautiful childhood. I keep in touch with them to this day as they are my family. They came to pick me up from Maryville. Ill never forget Scott, Tawanda, David, Bonnie, and that one office manager with the golden retriever puppy. This place kept me safe until I was adopted. Im so glad they're still helping children that dont have families.”

“The staff is nice the place is ok and they take good care of my baby ?. But my suggestion for them is to have camera. It seems like there are no surveillance cameras this is not good. They charge parents a lot. They should put some”
