Montessori Children's Garden (MCG) is a truly amazing place. My husband and I are so grateful to…read morehave chosen MCG for our son's education! He was there from 2.5 to 6 years old. Not only was he incredibly well prepared to start school in IPSD 204 from an academic standpoint, but also socially and emotionally. The school is very well run - with top notch communication and a staff of talented, caring teachers. The staff put on regular education nights for parents, and with no judgment, really helped me identify how to be the best mom I can be. While in the Kindergarten program, our son was asked to be a leader in the classroom and take on more responsibilities. It was so wonderful to watch him thrive and be cared for by an entire staff of smart, devoted, and empathetic women. Thank you so much, MCG, for giving our son the best start! I can't help but wonder how wonderful the world would be if every child got this kind of start. MCG is truly a special place!

All 3 of my children attended MCG. When we started visiting schools there was something about each…read moreplace that just didn't sit right with me. As soon as we toured MCG I knew this was the place for us and it is honestly one of the best decisions we have ever made. Our kids grew their love of learning in a supportive and loving environment. Each and every teacher and staff member was amazing. Our children were given opportunities to grow and develop academically and social-emotionally. When they started attending public school, each of my children was ahead academically. One of our boys can be a bit rigid and challenging, and his teacher Ms. Jennie worked with him so well that he soared academically and behaviorally. Their hours are good for working parents and they even have fun summer programs.

We have been going here for about 1 year and are very pleased. Many daycare centers require a set…read moreschedule, but this center allows us the flexibility that we need for our changing work schedules. The kids seem happy there, and they do fun projects. Management has changed recently, and the front office seems to be running more smoothly now (although I wasn't unhappy before). Teacher turnover is probably typical for daycare centers. My children's teachers have changed a few times in the last year. But I don't necessarily think that's a bad thing, since they will have numerous different teachers once they start elementary school. If I had one complaint it would be location. I like that they aren't located right on a busy road, but there is an auto repair center right next door, which creates some environmental/air quality concerns. Overall I would recommend the facility.

This is not a traditional school, they allow children to make mistakes and encourage them to find the answers. They support the children in learning how to communicate with each other in addition to teaching beyond educational standards in arithmetic, writing language science and so on. My children left Montessori and felt that the public schools were not able to keep pace with what they learned through these programs. They have both expressed that their public school experience is socially disappointing because the students are often unkind and treat each other with disrespect. While my children were encouraged to help peers there public student peers are often concerned with shaming and putting peers who are different than themselves down. Fox Valley Montessori taught my children that learning is fun, that curiosity is a value. My children learned to be respectful, they learned how to manage their work and it is serving them quite well in high school as they manage their time for finals and AP classes. This is not a traditional school, it is so much more, this school teaches your child what community is. Their Montessori education has prepared them far better than I could have imagined and I cannot recommend this school enough.

They're warm, nurturing, and clearly have a special gift with children--our son absolutely loves going each day. The communication is exceptional. Through the Procare app, we receive regular, thoughtful updates about meals, naps, and the fun, educational activities our son is doing. It gives us such peace of mind to feel so connected and informed throughout the day. What stands out most is how genuinely child-centered and honest the entire team is. On a day when our son wasn't feeling well, Hayley, the owner, called us immediately--not out of obligation, but out of genuine care. She treats our son, and our family, as if we were her own. That level of personal attention and kindness is rare. The facility itself is beautiful--brand new, immaculately clean, and thoughtfully designed with kids' comfort and development in mind. If you're looking for a daycare that truly has it all--loving caregivers, engaging activities, healthy meals, age-appropriate nap spaces, and a deep commitment to your child's well-being--this is the place.
