Glendale Heights was amazing with our son when he was 1 - the staff was very kind and helpful to…read moretwo new parents, and we had nothing but good experiences - singing nothing but praise for that time period. When he was 2, however, everything went sour. His particular flavor of AuDHD became more and more apparent, and it became increasingly clear that Glendale Heights possibly couldn't meet his needs anymore. Which is reasonable! So, after a number of days of bypassing their own "three strikes" policies and forcing us to pick him up early after a single minor incident (still charging us the full rate, mind you), they unceremoniously kicked him out without warning us that we were anywhere close to that possibly happening. Which, ok, I get from their perspective and communication could have been better - BUT. The reason this is a 1-star review and I won't recommend Glendale Heights to any other parents? Is because, for that last week that he was allowed to attend, it seems that he was told that he was being kicked out and it was _his_ fault, and not Glendale Heights' inability to accommodate his needs. For weeks, we had a 2-year-old constantly melting down every time he realized he did something wrong and _physically beating himself up_ for it. Who blames a 2-year-old like that? Who tells a 2-year-old they're a bad kid? We will forever regret sending our child to Glendale Heights.

This was not the childcare facility for our family. We went through 2 tours/discussions with the…read moreDirector before selecting this as the place to enroll our daughter. Unfortunately, in practice, we did not find KRA the same as what they advertised from our questions/expectations; and, at times, we found some of their policies concerning compared to our other daycare experiences. We withdrew our daughter after 3 days. I should start by saying, we have had 2 AMAZING previous daycares. In fairness, our standards may just be significant higher than most because we have seen it done better. I think if this is your only daycare experience it may not be the worst thing in the world, but it did not align with previous practices that we have come to rely on. These were my primary concerns with the toddler rooms: * Issue: Limited communication with parents. We asked about daily logs/App and we were promised a daily personalized email from the teachers regarding your kids day and any pertinent info. In practice, we got a generic (and in broken english) bcc'd email to all parents that did not include diapering, feeding, or napping info. This detail level was common practice at previous daycares and is required by state law (diapers). Without this info, at KRA we had concerns about them not changing her diaper at an appropriate rate; especially when she came home with a rash (and had not had one in over a year). Once we exited, there were only 5 diapers missing for 2.5 days (approximately 22hrs in their care which seemed really low). At previous daycares, they changed her every 2hrs per state law and went through 4-5 diapers per day. To me as a parent, this lack of communication was key because it helps me prep for the evening we are going to have at home (did she poop yet or does her tummy hurt? Is she starving and need a snack or can she wait for dinner? Did she nap for 1hr or 3hrs to help determine bedtime?) * Issue: Teacher to student ratios. We were concerned about engagement with our child after observing a classroom + ratios since she is a younger kid moving into an older classroom. We were told it was an off day and awkward time as they were prepping for snack. They said they complied within state regulations. In watching her classroom, the ratio was 10 kids to 2 teachers. State requirement is 8:2 for our daughters age group. Morning drop off was worse with 12+ kids to 1 teacher that we witnessed on their camera system. Additionally, we watched our daughter be ignored while crying in a corner after another kid hit her, we saw very little interaction at the kid level (playing on the floor with them), etc. When we left, the owner called this classroom "glorified babysitters". *Issue: Security. At our first daycare, I had to badge into the daycare building. At our second, they use a finger print scanner. At KRA, they leave the doors open. A friend of ours while touring witnessed older kids running outside without supervision because of the unlocked doors/lack of front desk near the doors. (PS we have never visited a daycare where we didn't have to buzzed in except this one). Additionally, due to the room set up (no windows on doors) older kid rooms doors are left open. This only became an issue during drop-off when the student-teacher ratio was so high. 2 older kids dashed out of the room, and the teacher followed them. This left 10+ kids unattended for a few minutes while she chased them down. * Issue: Safety. There was an unreported and undocumented level of care to a deep scrap on my daughters thigh. It had bled but no one could tell me if they treated it or not. I get they may not have seen what happened (she is almost 2 and falls a lot), but there still should have been an accident report from a regulation standpoint. *Issue: TV Time: We witnessed on the camera system a lot of TV time (more than what they told to us when we first asked about TVs in all the classrooms) and with that a lack of teacher involvement with the kids. The kids in the toddler class also seemed less verbal than what we were used to at other daycares and I believe that it comes from a lack engagement. We had a lot of developmental concerns here since our daughter has been considered advanced up to this point and we did not want to see her fall behind. Obviously not everyone has had this experience with them and they have some good clientele (doctors, lawyers, bankers). But, after 2 days, I consulted a friend in the industry and she said a lot of these practices would not be tolerated. It was at that point we decided to withdraw her.

Many that decided to open physically are having even 1st day outbreaks reported and shutting back down. NO WAY! I guess they think its student body, teachers and staff are more competent and effective than Harvard University, Columbia University and many more actual universities with billions of dollars of direct resources and trillions in their networks (not mass affluent new money millions of peasants). A bold claim. Beware the ignorant delusional plague proles. They cant even see the pictures on the news not to mention read actual scientific medical reports or basic reproducible infectious illness modelling and real world documented phenomena long preceding the extreme political psychosis that the country is experiencing at the moment? Huh. Seems like remedial education is needed. Shapes like bodies go in holes that are at least the height, depth and width of the shape. Honestly you should lose your ability to be a school for this type of thing. Dont poll people without knowledge or skillset experience mitigating harm from situations like this for input on technical decisions and how to respond to a crisis. Why would I ask a musician about a technical network deployment? So they could fiddle while it burns? How to spread exponentially viral for all the wrong reasons and in all the wrong ways? That picture from Georgia is the idea of good marketing campaign? Hope those polled parents don't mind dying, ~20% going to ICU with life harming damage and disrupting their employers, employment and their own personal lives. By at a minimum having to quarantine for at least 14 days once the COVID19 cases begin. So smart! Imagine a virus or crisis not caring if its inconvenient. Proper BSL3/BSL4 pandemic response when correct PPE is available requires substantial equipment far beyond what this school has likely purchased especially considering even full technically trained medical facilities are still having widely publicized issues that youd know about if you were actually literate.

Do Not send your child to this daycare!! My son went to this "school" for roughly 2 weeks when he…read morewas 3 years old. It was right down the street from our home so I called and got him enrolled. Big mistake, huge. They scheduled a time that my husband and I could visit the school during the day and see the teachers, kids etc. well they called and had to reschedule. They did this a few times, using the fact that the covid epidemic was making it unsafe for us to see the daycare. This was in 2022 in January. At the time it threw me off but the world was opening back up and I made the excuse in my head that they were simply keeping the kids/teachers safe. Fast forward and I go to drop him off his first day, ever he had never been to a daycare or left my side in his 3 years being a "covid baby" I as any parent was terrified leaving him the first day. We get to the door and a teacher is standing there and takes his hand, and tells me parents aren't allowed inside for health reasons. I felt very uneasy, I mean I never even saw the room he'd be in, or met an actual teacher, only the director. She takes him inside door closed and locked. They sent me pictures throughout the day, which was all of 2 hours. I see him sitting at a table by himself, don't think too much of it. The next few days goes by and he went 3 days a week and pictures were sent to me via text message and he was always at a table. He did seem incredibly happy to see me at pickup and he seemed very reserved the short time I sent him there. My mom's intuition kicked in and I pulled him out after going maybe a total of 10 days throughout a three week period. My son was excited to go, and it was the best experience ever. I worked as a daycare teacher for milestones for 3 years, I knew something was very off about north shore preschool. A few months into him attending his new school he started communicating better, and that's when I heard the stories from him. 3 years later he still will tell me stories out of nowhere about the awful things and the the terrible teachers.The teachers were constantly yelling at the children, snapping on them for doing what kids do. A little boy made a huge mess one day and one of the teachers got in my son's face and went ballistic on him telling him to clean the mess up. He told her he didn't make the mess. He was at his table. This enraged her, and my son explained she was yelling and screaming at him and forced him to clean up the entire room for talking back to her. My son at that age, was a happy guy, he would make messes like every other kid does, but he was always good about cleaning up when he was done. The stories are all very similar. A lot of yelling at kids all day, over things like not wanting to eat the snack they were offered.He told me once that he was yelled at for not cleaning up, the only story he told me about at that time. I called the school asap and told them he'd never return. Told the director that he had been yelled at and in all my time working as a daycare teacher, never once did any single teacher raise their voice at any child of any age. She quickly apologized, and refunded me the money we had given them. She didn't ask me questions. She just wanted me gone and did what was necessary to get me to go away essentially. I was shocked that she wasn't concerned about the fact that the kiddos were being yelled at, or the way my son was for the rest of the day after being there for a short period of time. Why did I take this long to complain, because just this morning well driving him to Indian Hills, he said he was so happy that he had the best teachers in the world. Then he starts crying, my son never Cries, unless he is physically hurt. But he went on to tell me a story about a little boy there who was playing and for no reason the 2 teachers were screaming at him, my son doesn't know why. He told me he was so scared there he'd just sit at a table the entire time, to blend in. To not be seen or noticed. I've never heard him say one good thing about this place. And my heart breaks for him as well as the other children that have gone there, and are there now, and to the parents thinking this is a great place to watch over and protect the most important person in the world. I should have Never allowed him to go there the minute they wouldn't allow me to be a part of or see anything at this daycare. I'm confused as to how to move forward as the short time he was there still has a negative effect on him. Parents this is a warning and to listen to your kids and your instincts. I never want any child to be yelled at embarrassed and emotionally be scarred. But that's what this "school" does. Remove your kiddos and ask questions. If they are like my son and want to please adults, they too are thinking it's normal.He refers to it as "The BAD School" and in my mind that's too nice of an adjective for this place. Never ever send your kids here!! Sorry had to rant! Wish I didn't have to give it one star...

The smaller class sizes mean everyone gets the attention they need to grow and learn at their required pace. The additional flexibility of their hours relieves that agonizing stress of making it to pick-up "on time" when a meeting at work runs a little later than it should. We can't say enough positive things about the open concept, bright cheery set-up and educational methods they use to care for and play with the children. They don't take babies, so you will have to wait until they are at least 12 months old. Mommy and Me definitely takes a lot of pressure off of this working mommy!
