My daughter is now 6 and returned just for summer on certain days and I can't get over how much unpleasantness you feel just from walking in here. This morning I literally said good morning and have a wonderful day to whoever was at the front with curly hair and she didn't even make a sound. The teacher also seems to be extremely sarcastic about anything with these school age kids room. I'm honestly going to reach out to their corporate because they have just declined and this was a daycare I raved about for years and sent many families too. Such a shame since they are so more expensive than most in the area.

I sent my one year old son here for about a month before withdrawing him because I did not feel he…read morewas being cared for appropriately. First off, there is no communication here. If I wanted any information from the director or the teachers I needed to ask for it, and I often got different responses depending on who I asked. It felt like the teachers relied on the "Tadpoles" app as a crutch so that they did not have to talk to us. Moreover, I was upset at the number of injuries and incidents my son experienced here compared to his placement at another center. His very first day after attending, he came home with horrible diaper rash with open sores. The teachers tried to make excuses for this by saying it may have been because they were serving him fruit. This is ridiculous to me because we had been serving him fruit at home for almost a year at that point. He was constantly sick and had so many bruises, scrapes and bite marks from "incidents" that I was afraid his pediatrician would think he was being abused. It culminated in an incident where he had a febrile seizure in the classroom and the teachers claimed that they had no idea what caused the seizure or if it could have been prevented. They sent him to the ER where his temperature was found to be 102.7. They claimed someone had been holding him when it happened, so how could they not have known that he had a fever? We had also previously told them that he has a history of febrile seizures. As childcare professionals they should have known the signs of a fever and been able to contact us or administer Tylenol to him before the seizure happened. All in all I did not feel safe sending my son here, and I think the teachers and director did not do a good job either communicating or making sure my child was appropriately cared for. I am writing this not to hurt their business but to make sure other parents are able to make an informed choice when it comes to who they trust with their child's care.

My family and I love Rainbow Academy…read more It was stressful evaluating the choices of what to do when it was time for me to go back to work after having our first child. We knew she loved being around other children, so we thought we would give daycare a shot. We're so happy we found Rainbow Academy. They go above an beyond for the children. Even though our daughter is still an infant, they keep her engaged with daily activities and tons of seasonal celebrations. We were able to take the morning off and come take her trick-or-treating with her class. That was so cool to us! All these little things add up, and we know she's being taken care of very, very well. Plus, our daughter loves it there. I was able to go back to work full-time sooner than I thought because of how much she loves it. She's attached to her teachers and has a blast all day. Her teachers helped her adjust to the daily routine, and we see the benefits all the time of the love and devotion they put into her every day. She comes home so happy (and tired from a big day of play!) and we notice her picking up new skills. I also love that they separate the infants into the really small children and the older children. It gives our daughter a chance to get more focused attention on the things she needs to be working on. I also appreciate how much charity work this business does. For instance they are currently having a drive to create care packages for soldiers. That kind of environment is exactly what growing children need to be immersed in.

I seriously cannot say enough good things about the West Carol Stream KinderCare. The center is…read morerun by wonderful, loving, caring, supportive people and my children love it there. The center director, Ruth, knows each child and parent by name and takes time out to say good morning, good night, and have little inside jokes with everyone. The assistant director, Richelle, helped bring by shy son out of his shell and helped give him confidence that he sorely needed by providing a warm and supportive environment with the phonics program they offer. The teachers... they are out of this world amazing. Miss Brittany and Miss Stephanie teach my son's preschool class and he adores both of them. Whenever he sees them in the morning, he runs and gives them a hug with the biggest smile on his face. They are patient, understanding, warm, loving, and encouraging to every little one they teach. My son often asks if his teachers can come home with us at the end of the day and misses them during the weekends home. In the pre-k class, Miss Meghan and Miss Julieann are just as wonderful. They always have a smile on their face, a kind word for each child, and are an absolute pleasure to be around. They have done a wonderful job of pulling my son out of his shell and it is heart warming to see how encouraging they are with him, and all his classmates. My son has really grown under the supervision of Miss Meghan and Miss Julieann and he talks everyday about what he learned from his teachers. My only regret is that I didn't find this center sooner. My son is off to kindergarten this fall and I can not thank the West Carol Stream KinderCare for all they have done to prepare him for his next steps into school.

All of the teachers are super sweet and seem to care about the children as if they were their own. We had a rough patch last summer where our daughter was acting out, but they continued to work with her, as we did and everything has been fine ever since. We are notified if there is ever an altercation and have to sign documentation for their records. Their rates are very reasonable too! This is definitely a no frills establishment - there is no phone app with pictures of their day, we don't get weekly food menus and the curriculum (instead they just display them by the children's cubicles). They do post photos of special events on facebook, so I appreciate being able to see those fun pics!

I cannot say enough good things about the staff at Mini Steps! As a former employee (director…read morequalified) of five years at KinderCare and an early education major, I held Mini Steps to high standards going in. I must say, I was pleasantly surprised to realize that I could drop my children off at a "non-chain" daycare and receive exceptional care at an affordable price. My youngest son started attending Mini Steps when he was only 10 weeks old. As a single mom, nothing was harder for me than leaving my newborn at daycare while I went to work every day. The quality of loving care and nurturing that he received on a daily basis from Ms. Marie and Ms. Jan was beyond any of my expectations. I quickly felt at ease leaving my newborn at Mini Steps in the loving and capable hands of the staff there. As my newborn grew and moved up to the toddler room, the transition was so easy and natural because he was already so comfortable and attached to Ms. Jan. From the toddler room he moved on to the 2s room with Ms. Sarah and again, I have nothing but amazing things to say. Ms. Sarah loved my son as she loved her own, and I knew that he was in the best hands possible. In the 3s room with Ms. Robbin and the 4s room with Ms. Barbara my son grew into the adorable, stubborn, hard-headed, sweet, hilarious, and smart child that he is today. He loved going to school and playing with his friends, and I loved how much he was learning through play and not even realizing it! My oldest son was a schoolager when he started Mini Steps in first grade. We both love Ms. Kay and cannot say enough wonderful things about her! She is a teacher and friend to her students, which can sometimes be a hard combination, but it comes as second nature to Ms. Kay. Not only is she caring and compassionate, she is strict when she needs to be. I recently purchased a new home in a new school district and had no other choice but to remove my children from Mini Steps. I cried on their last day. How do you say "Thank You" to the amazing teachers who helped you raise your children for 5 years?? Words just don't seem like enough. Tracie and Moe, thank you for giving me peace of mind every single day for 5 years while I was away from my boys. Thank you to the entire staff of Mini Steps for loving my boys the way I do. I will forever be grateful. xoxo
