The atmosphere is friendly and upbeat, but also calm and a good combination of structure and independence. We've been grateful for the chance to have our kiddo spend some time at this center and I would highly recommend this location to anyone looking for quality daycare.

We were already nervous dropping out daughter off at day care for the first time to then add all the regulations of COVID on top of it.

This is the best preschool in Wheaton. It is a 4 day program, which is a bit much for some, but I…read morecan't believe all the stuff my son learned here! They have their own gym and library and an awesome playground. They also have a great community within the school and have an ice cream social, a family fun night and other events. All the teachers are degreed, some have advanced degrees, and their are aids in the room as well, some more than others. They really know how to motivate the kids and get them to learn. We really enjoyed this program and I really recommend it if you can swing the cost!

Where does one begin a stupid online review when a teacher physically assaults your child? It's…read morehardly a means of retribution, but there are other avenues being pursued to that extent. I make this review more as a warning to the other parents who send their children to Chesterbrook. My wife and I had enough issues dealing with the "educators" at Chesterbrook when our child came home with a head injury or covered in human feces - but if you batter our child, you have started something you cannot stop. Perhaps other parents reading this will feel the same way. To be sure, we are in no way 'helicopter parents' and believe in discipline. But, there is, of course discipline and abuse, and this crossed the line. Our son became scared and hesitant to attend Chesterbrook, and would tell us approx. a week later about this incident. Upon hearing this, we met with the "principal" - who showed us the video of the "teacher" being physical with our child. Oddly enough, the principal agreed that the contact was inappropriate and that steps would be taken to remedy the situation. Upon picking up our child a mere three hours later, we were told that the principal had been fired. Following that, in an act of retaliation, we were told that our child was moved to a class of children two years younger than him. When we met with the district manager (or whatever she claimed to be), she not only admitted that she had never video and laughed in our face while we met with her. Completely unprofessional and indicative of somebody who cannot handle their job responsibilities, much less have some control over the well being of children. I could (and would like to) name the relevant individuals, but that will only serve to have this post removed. Nevertheless, those responsible will be held responsible in court. But, my advice - ask questions and get your child out of Chesterbrook asap.

I have a 4 and 7 year old who have attended Chesterbrook for 1.5 years. My daughter is in PreK 2…read moreand my son attends the before and after school program. A few months ago, we were looking for a new place to send our children. I had really had it with all of the changes in staff and leadership at the school. I really loved the teachers when we first started but the atmosphere had changed and the teachers were very unhappy. I was beginning to see that it was hurting my children's experience at school. Right before we were leaving Chesterbrook, there was announcement that a new principal (Jen) would be transferring from the Plainfield Chesterbrook. I've never seen a school turn around so quickly (and I have worked in education for 15 years myself). I noticed an immediate change in teacher morale, cleanliness of the school and communication with parents. Because of the changes, we decided to stay. Jen sets high expectations for her teachers and is a great communicator. The teachers seem happy and the kids also seem much happier. Jen has also led new changes such as getting organic milk into the school, ordering new furniture and adding new learning materials. I hope the school continues to make these amazing improvements. As for the curriculum, my 4 year old just read her first book last night, teaches me words in Spanish, can add and subtract and talks about all of the "cool things Ms. Becca teaches her" at dinner each night. My kids are safe, appreciated and have a lot of fun at school. I'm not sure I can ask for much more!

This place is horrible! On the first day of class my kid came home with a bruise on his shoulder…read moreand explained in detail how teacher Barb pushed down on him because he wouldn't pick up other kids toys and sit in a circle. I told teacher Barb and Joyce, my son can be a handful and if he is too much to handle and I would be right outside. Just call me. Joyce in no better when it was pick up time she was whipping him around. He lasted 2 days there. I made a report and spoke with Tina/Mandy about this and of course nothing was done. NO ONE should have to worry about their child getting hurt by a so called teacher. I'm disgusted with this place and all that work there. Save your kid the trauma. A year later and I'm having trouble getting him to want to go to school again. When he was so excited the first time. Now he keeps asking.. Are they going to be mean and hurt me? DISGUSTING

Hosanna! Preschool has been the best choice I've made since starting our education journey with our…read moredaughter. I did my research on our area preschools (9+ schools) and ultimately decided to have Hosanna! as our preschool for many reasons. The school classrooms are large, filled with fun toys, treehouses, and interactive play. The teachers are the most loving and caring and truly know my daughter and let her personality shine. The director makes sure you know everything that is going on and the communication between parents and teachers is comforting. The preschool offers many activities for parents to join throughout the year, which have been very special moments. The outside playground is well kept and continues to grow with new activities added, like this year's Mud Kitchen! There is also a large indoor gym for when it's raining or too cold. The cost is average for the Elgin area and worth every penny! Our (almost) two years of preschool have been so enjoyable and my daughter has grown academically as well as socially/emotionally. She has made close friends and families have become close as well. Highly recommend you check out Hosanna! Preschool for your kiddos, you won't regret it!

Ms. Mirtha is not only very patient and caring, but she also pays attention to both academic growth (math and reading) and character development. What impressed me the most is how thoughtful and encouraging she is.

I could truly feel that she treats each child as her own, guiding them with love, respect, and consistency. Thanks to her, my daughter gained confidence and became more prepared for school.
