I feel secure knowing my child is in good hands at the school. They have listened to concerns and turned everything around for the better. They maintain a great balance of daycare and education.

I love that all the staff know my son by name and truly care. They are also very supportive of the parents and willing to work with them.
Sherri P., Gurnee

My daughter has had the best care in this school. They go above and beyond to educate and keep up with manners with others. She's respected and my daughter feels like she's part of family.
Jocelyn R., Gurnee

I really trust the teachers and curriculum they provide. And of course the daily report of what my child did.
Joahnna S., Gurnee

Included food, childcare, educational materials and different activities
Tasha G., Gurnee

I love the staff. :) They are very approachable. Bringing Linda back to the center was a great decision. Things are definitely running more smoothly. My son is about to transition, so I am unfamiliar with his new teachers; however, I am confident that I can discuss any concerns I may have with his teachers…
