One of our kids has special needs, so the smaller size of Here We Grow was perfect for him to receive the extra attention and guidance that he needed to further his development, and he could have fun while not being overstimulated by a large number of children. The progress he made across two years at Here We Grow was absolutely amazing. Miss Mandy is great at setting expectations while also making learning fun for the kids. She is also great at assessing each child's needs and determining what might be beneficial for them to succeed in her classroom and also outside the classroom. Here We Grow is also a wonderful way to prepare for Kindergarten given the structured schedule. Miss Mandy is also great at communicating with parents and even taking extra time out of her schedule to email and meet with parents. We really feel that we are on the same team with her and developed a partnership and she's great at offering guidance, support, and encouragement. We couldn't be happier with the education our kids have received at Here We Grow Preschool and we highly recommend it. It's been a great place for our kids to learn and grow and to also make some new friends. They are always excited to see Miss Mandy, so that's a terrific indicator of what a wonderful influence and teacher she is.

They were insulting on the phone and the owner hung up on me after I simply asked for her e-mail and fax in order to get a copy of the bills so I knew what I was paying.

They tried to tell me I needed a court order to even talk to them and lied and told me my son was on a field trip when he wasn't, just to get me to leave.

Most of the teachers are very young, around 16 or 17 and I never got that sense there. There are too many things to note down. First and foremost, there are too many children in one room. They combine 9 to 10 month old children with 4/5 year olds. My daughter was bitten everyday.We didn't even get incident report for it. Everyday she had a bite mark. It was only after showing the bite mark, we started getting incident reports. After a week of getting bitten, director talked to us but she is always in a haste and made us feel like we were taking too much of her time. We started looking for other day care right after then. They stopped combining bigger kids with toddlers after that but the age range is still large. Also, we never got good answers or someone to listen to when trying to ask how was her day and her daily activities. Most of the times the answer is, its on her sheet. that's it. She came home dirty and unhappy. Second big thing is they kept saying she was sick and was fussy all day but when we got her home, she was all happy. I'm not sure if she wasn't getting enough food or something that upset her at day care. A friend of mine had same issue, they called her up saying her boy was fussy and the reason was he wasn't given his bottle. She got her son out too. I wish I hadn't waited that long. We are so glad we moved her out of there and she is so much happier!! Parents beware, it may seem ok when you take the tour first but we were not a bit impressed with day to day operation. I'm definitely not recommending this place to anyone else.

She came from an at home day care environment that was less than desirable. I heard about the school through a friend, and after visiting the school I realized it was the perfect place for her to grow. I had trouble with her toilet training and other social development issues, and within a month at Children's Circle, I noticed a huge change in her. She began regularly using the potty, she acted in an age appropriate manner with the other children, and she seemed much happier. She went on to the Primary 2 community when she turned three, and was there until her Kindergarten year, when my husband and I moved to Chicago for school. While in Chicago we were blessed with another child, and when she was 18 months, she started at Children's Circle's Primary 1 community. She is a very happy, well adjusted child now enjoying the Primary 2 classroom. Last year, my husband and I realized our marriage wasn't working and decided to end it. Andrea and all of the teaching staff at Children's Circle were a HUGE help to me, assisting my child adjust to our new normal. My youngest feels so safe with her teachers and her friends that I know it would've been much more devastating had she not been given the support and stability created by Andrea. I feel that I can speak with Andrea about any issues that are of concern regarding my children, and she routinely asks about my oldest daughter at school functions. In fact, my oldest will get out of the car to speak to her old teachers, who not only remember her, but are genuinely interested in her activities! The jump start a Montessori education gives a child is invaluable. My oldest is excelling in her current studies, and I see daily the curiosity that was nurtured at such a young age. I cannot say enough good things about the value both my children and I as a parent receive from this preschool!

DO NOT TAKE YOUR CHILD HERE!!!!! They brought up my girlfriends mom the wrong baby and asked if this was the right one? It was a boy our baby is a girl. They put another child's diaper on her it had the other child's initials in big black perminant market on them not one letter matched. They gave her food that my girlfriend called and made sure she should not have. Thankfully she wasn't allergic to the food. When she called to ask why she got the food the response was "nobody told me" not a apology or that won't happen again. They sent home the wrong bottle, my daughter didn't sleep hardly and rarely drank her bottles which is rare for her. She went to a new daycare the next day and she slept almost 3hrs and ate both bottles!!! This place has no accountability and when my girlfriend called and said she would like her money back the owner or director said no they can't and blamed the lack of food notes on the teacher's "pregnancy brain"!!!! These are only a small portion of the awfulness this place is Do not go here I believe they watch your child but clearly they have no communication between staff nemeber and they do not pay attention to details at all. So many things were missed that had not been missed once at her first daycare read more

I have four kids who attend daycare here. The hours are flexible and the staff are friendly. 6 AM-8 PM Monday thru Friday and they are also open Saturdays! Two of my four children are now in school and go to the center during their breaks from school and dread leaving at pick up time! I feel that says it all, if your kid loves their daycare and their teachers what more can you ask for? When my little guy started Kindergarten his teacher told me he must have been in good hands before he came started school because he was so advanced! He loves Kindergarten but misses all the cool field trips he did with Hug-A-Bunch :) read more

Our baby has been enrolled in the Drop In program at hug a bunch since he was just 6 weeks old. The prices are very reasonable-just $10 per hour. They have cameras that RECORD and the staff have to pass several background checks before even being considered for hire. You have to have a code to get in the door, and they check ID until they are familiar with you. I would also like to mention that the Director of the center has three children enrolled so you know she is on top of all the happenings at this center! *this is a very safe place to take your children! Thank you. read more
