KLA Plainfield has been a community we didn't know we were missing. After trying at-home care for a…read morefew months, my husband and I were pressed to find more reliable options. This was the second daycare we toured, and we were surprised at how quickly we felt at-ease. After Principal Shannon gave us a tour of the classrooms and curriculum, we knew that they were fully committed to the best experience for both parents and children. I expected the first month to be rougher, but in truth it wasn't. I got frequent updates of how my son was doing after drop off from Ms. Karen and Ms. Shannon, along with photos of our little guy assimilating in his new environment. I also enjoyed seeing the photos from the Vrutti app of class activities and the children playing with each other. I'd always hold my breath to see our son's nap duration, but I was surprised at how well he was sleeping so soon. We thought we would ease into daycare with a 3 day a week schedule, but our only regret is not going 5 days sooner! My husband and I can now work soundly knowing our child is in extremely capable hands. All the staff are very forthcoming as well if your child seems off/sick, had an accident, etc. There is a strong culture of honesty and integrity here. So after almost 4 months, I can confidently say the staff at KLA have been a true blessing. We are not stressed about call-offs or our son being bored at home anymore with the same stations. He is so advanced at 14 months, learning how to hold pencils and playing with his friends in class. Baby Nido teachers Ms. Sayantani, Ms. Cristina, and Ms. Eva are the dream team. Leaving your kids with non-family can be difficult in any capacity, but the Baby Nido teachers are true professionals. They are confident with the kids and you can tell they really enjoy what they do. All of this to say--you will meet some fantastic staff members here at KLA as well as great parents. Don't struggle alone, don't stress to be an employer on top of your full time job... just give KLA a shot and you will find yourself to be as relieved as we were

We have been with KLA for almost two year and are extremely happy with the philosophy and community…read morethey've created there. I have been a working mother since ever and my son started going to daycare since he was one year old, we started in Kiddie Academy but then things changed in a not positive way and I urgently was looking for a change and I thank god I found KLA which I always say it has been the best change ever for my son... Right now my son is at 3s room and have been happy during the entire journey. The teachers and administration treat the all of the children as their own, and the knowledge my young children bring home every day is amazing. Starting with the staff in when you get in Ms Morgan is so charm and kind, she is always available to answer all your questions in the best way possible :) Ms Stephanie is always with a smile in her face and always ready to help ...Ms Carrie is always kind ...Ms Erika the director is a wonderful leader she always know what is happening to every child and when it is needed talks to the parents making us feel secure and comfortable on our child's development Ms. Liz , Ms. Alyssa and Ms. Destiny are so lovely and fantastic. I normally pick up my son almost at the closing time and every time I have a hard time to make him leave with me...that means he loves the school and he has named KLA his home so I cant be more thankful for the environment and the teachers that take care of him :) Ms. Amanda and Ms Becca now lead the older 3s class and has been a great partnership with them. They are loving and patient but is great with molding manners and listening skills actually It is very easy to work with both of them on a daily basis to supervise my child's development. They go above and beyond hand-writing a note every day explaining how the day went the ups and downs and the corrections or rewards that he received,because many times when I pick up my son they already left, thanks to them my son have improved in a lot of areas in such short period of time and that is thanks to the devotion, compromise and dedication of Ms Amanda and Ms Becca. My son absolutely adore them. Ms. Lucy is adorable she is so sweet and patient with all the kids...she teaches Spanish and having a Hispanic heritage it is crucial that my son learns Spanish at school so I love having her as Spanish teacher :) Gracias Miss Lucy Ms Kimberly and Ms Nikki are in the other 3s classroom they are fantastic everytime that my son interacts with them he is very happy and he know them perfectly ... I could truly go on and on about about the teachers and staff at KLA. As a working parent you tend to feel guilty about leaving your kids on a daily basis. However, after so much time spent at KLA, I actually feel a little guilty on the days they are NOT there because I know they are probably having more fun and are learning more when they are there! You can feel confident that your children are in great hands when you are gone. Just don't feel bad when they cry when you come to pick them up because they don't want to leave... It happens to all of us!

I couldn't say enough about how I fully trust them to care for my daughter every day. She has so much fun! Thanks TLE lemont staff! Your rock!

Our son started at TLE as an infant. He has been in 3 rooms total over the past 2 years. There have…read morebeen 3 directors and turnover with many of the aides. You often don't know the aide who is taking care of your child as they do not do introductions of the new employees. As another review mentioned, there is a lack of communication at this center. With every room move, we had no formal introduction to the new teacher. No explanation of what to expect in the new classroom. Just pointed in the direction of where the new room is located. There is a monthly email with the "theme" of the curriculum. For example, Oceans, Family, Forests etc. However, do not expect to be told specifically what words, colors, numbers, letters your child is actually working on. We randomly figure out what our son has learned by the new things he says. They just started to add some information like the color and day of the week to the app. This center does not hold any sort of parent/teacher conference or provide any progress updates on your child's development. The app...Do not expect this to be updated throughout the day. Most updates come through after 2/3PM at the end of the day. I have brought up the lack of pictures and updates to management plenty of times but there was no improvement made. For the price point of this daycare, I expected the app to be maintained as promised. Their pricing is in line with Gardner School + KinderCare who also offer an app. I would consider other options if having an app, receiving development progression updates, or overall communication are important to you. The quickest we ever heard from the director was when we sent an email advising we were withdrawing our son. We got a call within 5 minutes. He never asked why we were leaving or if there was anything he could do to keep our son there. His call was to advise a form needed to be filled out...His lack of concern confirmed we made the right choice to switch daycares. To top things off, we were charged today for two weeks of care even though we were told billing would be taken care of correctly. I will say the teachers are caring and would be the only reason to stick around. Ms. Kim in Infant room is the best! Our son adores her. Sandra + Daniela in the Twaddler room are the dynamic duo and have great energy. Ms. Natalie in the Twos room is super sweet. Diana + Sam took great care of our son. We were looking forward to having Ms. Cece for preschool.

I told the director I was concerned for them. The director tried to reassure me they had a great team after he was tossed into the pavement face first by another teacher. It really isn't any of my business if it makes her happy for herself, but the incompetence really shows when they start to fit into stereotypes taking care of babies.

We love the Co-Op Nursery school! My now-kindergartener started there at 15 months in their…read moreparent-tot class which was a great way for us to get out of the house for some fun activities and meet other local families since we were new to the area. He then went through their other classes - 2-year old, 3-day, and PreK. He is now doing great in Kindergarten and loves school and I feel that the Co-Op is a big reason why. My three-year old now goes to the Tuesday/Thursday class from 9 to 11 am and his teachers are wonderful - patient and caring and they are so dedicated to helping the kids participate in a lot of fun and educational activities. My 15-month old will start soon with the parent-tot class also. It is so fun to watch the little ones interact with each other and explore the activities and toys in the room. Since it is a Co-Op, you have the opportunity to participate in your child's education by being the third grown-up in the classroom once every 6 to 8 weeks. (Except for parent-tot where you stay each week.) If you work or otherwise are not able to be in the classroom, there is an option that the school can provide an aide. (Just costs a little bit more.) All of the staff are very special and so great with the kids! (And they often have good parenting advice too!)

Well I will start with this place has obviously gone downhill since 2019 - 2021. My review of this…read morechildcare and workplace is certainly not amazing. Quite the opposite actually. The director and staff at COA in Oswego are so unprofessional on many levels. I am going to start by saying my son (who happens to have mild Autism) was hired as a Teaching Assistant. This was told to them on his resume, as well as discussed at the interview. He was hired at COA about 6 months ago. Since being hired, he has been picked on, made to do work that other TA's are not made to do ( ex. clean all floors and toys in all classrooms). Written up for incidents that were embellished by other staff as a means to get him in trouble. Treated with disrespect and now after today called a racist because of a mis-pronunciation of a last name. His own family is comprised of 4 different races. He doesn't have a mean or racist bone in his body. My son, even through all of this, has continued to show up and work every day. He has taken the 10:30 am lunch even when he got to work at 9 am and others have been working since 6 am. He never complained about this unfair treatment due to feeling like he could lose his job all the time. It was evident in his anxiety that he felt left out and not supported at all. He recently had his hours cut, supposedly due to lack of enrollment. Although the center hired 4 new staff since he was hired and he was the staff with hours cut to 15 hours a week. They have treated him like he wouldn't know better and continuously pick on him. They expected him to be alone in a classroom, and because he spoke up and said he wasn't comfortable with this, his hours were cut. What a sad and unfortunate work experience for a young man who just felt he would like to work with young children. As he comes from a family who fostered other children throughout his life. He has had experience working and caring for kids quite a bit, just not in the daycare setting. As his Mom, I really felt this would be a great opportunity for him. How sad of COA to treat someone who is "different " with such disrespect that he no longer wants to work in an environment like that. I doubt you would want your children attending a place that treats their employees this way either. I know I wouldn't. If I thought my son could have written this himself, I would have him do so. His disabilities don't define him. His heart does. We will move on from here, but not without speaking our TRUTH.
