Horrible daycare! I would highly recommend that you look into the other daycares in the area before…read morelooking into this one. My experience is a year with KinderCare has been nothing but stressful!! the only reason it took me this long because all the other daycares were full. I would pick my son up and he would be dirty and wet even though I brought enough clothes for him to be changed, they have sent somebody else's clothes with him before and we have no idea what happened to his, When he was a little younger I picked him up with two bibs one on top of the other bc they are too lazy to take the dirty wet one off , I once got a call from ms.Ashley telling me that my child is unconscious! after scaring the hell out me she really meant that he took a nap and he was in deep sleep. They once called me to pick up my son because he would not take a nap and they needed to take a break. Every single day when I pick up my son he's crying for water bc they never give them water. One of the teachers has a child in the class and she's constantly comparing her kid to my son and comparing our parenting style.(super unprofessional) she has even mentioned before that it was not worth becoming a daycare teacher and last week she labeled my two year old son as "snotty" and that was the end of it for me. Every time I voiced my concerns to the Director Anita she would brush me off by being "customer service"by that I mean she would say " I am so sorry to hear that, I will talk to them" things will be good for like two days before going back to nasty normal. Either she didn't do much about it or the teachers do not respect her enough. There many more incidents but I can't list them all. Class is maxed out with kids who are not being taken care of and not enough teachers. 320$-350 weekly for this daycare is not worth it, I would gladly pay that to a daycare with teachers who actually love kids and not to a daycare with teachers who work there for the discount they get for their kids. Don't let 25 good google reviews fool you like they fooled me.

I was looking around at preschools for my little one and when I visited the center it felt very relaxed yet still has structured learning. The kids all seem to enjoy being here it's very rare I ever walk in and see a child upset ( this includes the baby room which speaks a lot for the staff!) Everyone is so friendly and all the teachers greet us as we walk in the door. My son loves going to school and it has helped with my anxiety of sending him off to school to know how much he loves it. Not to mention he is also learning quite a bit already and it's only a couple months into the school year. I would highly recommend this facility to family and friends.

We have been a part of the La Petite family for almost five years now, and I cannot recommend them…read morehighly enough. Not NEARLY enough! Ms. Stacy runs a fantastic program, and her leadership really shows in the quality of care provided. Miss Deanna is equally incredible, providing that extra layer of support and management that keeps everything running smoothly. Even when something goes wrong at home before the day at daycare! They're his driver Ms Michelle is so cautious and cheerful for the kiddos each day for school drop offs. SO convenient right?! What truly sets them apart is their tender hearts, safety and comfort of the children is al Amy's on top of the list and flexibility! They are incredibly accommodating; as long as you provide notice, La Petite Academy is always willing to work with you and your family's specific needs. It feels like a true partnership in raising our children. Our kids genuinely love their teachers--Miss Taylor is a household favorite!--and they look forward to going every day. After half a decade of experience with them, I can confidently say that if you're looking for a place where your children will be loved, supported, and truly known, this is it. Truly(: I couldn't have asked for a better person establishment to help raise our babies We love La Petite Academy!

Ms. Allie, Oh my goodness where we begin? This sweet lady has totally been our sons anchor. He…read morecompletely adores her. It's how we actually get him to school with a smile on his face lol. Her lesson plans and activities are well executed, fun, and Jack talks about them after school. So that's amazing! She is also an amazing "documenter" and communicator. She posts a lot and keeps us updated on what the kiddos are doing all the time. It truly makes being at work a little easier knowing that your kid is having fun and learning and engaged. Excellent lesson plans and execution (as well as showing you what your child is learning everyday) is an asset that helps set La Petite above the rest. Her work ethic, care, kindness, and knowledge really stand out. She even tries to time changing jacks diaper at the right time before pick up. Its amazing! And it means a lot especially when us parents don't know what the day will throw at us. Ms. Shae. Holy Cannoli. From the first time we met her we absolutely adored her. She is so smart. I can remember walking in the hall and she knew who everyone was, whose parents were who, when kiddos were getting picked up.... All the details. It's very impressive. It was very obvious that she knew everything and cared to the fullest capacity. Not only are her comfort and care immeasurable..... She engages the kids in a way that pulls them in and makes their minds think. She too has shown how amazing La Petite is. Ms. Shae has a light and knowledge that is also irreplaceable, she is an amazing asset to la petite and our lives. We want her celebrated. Both of these individuals make such a positive and powerful impact on our day to day. We can't thank you enough.

Not sure where to even start. John Humphrey KinderCare was under the leadership of Mary when my son…read morewas attending. My son was sick almost weekly. They barely cleaned. I would pick my son up and he would have boogers on his nose/face dried up and crusty. When I would give my child a bath at home after the day, he'd have dried up feces on his underwear due to them not wiping the kids after they use the restroom. The teachers in each class were young, inexperienced, and ignorant. Anytime I made a complaint about the care of my child (that I pay them for) they would gas light and manipulate things to make it my fault that they were not caring for my son properly. I also witnessed a couple of the teachers getting super impatient with the kids and sometimes toss them around and scream at them, it honestly broke my heart. The manager Mary was the worst part of it all. Instead of taking the responsibility for her own KinderCares failures, she decided to blame the kids! She would literally blame the 3-4 year olds themselves. Horrible daycare to attend.

Around January 2021, we realized that we needed child care for our 9.5m son. We were both working…read moreFT from home and couldn't give him the attention he needed. We were stressed and not being the best parents we could be, juggling everything on our plates. We looked at nanny's but given Covid, many wanted to be in their home, not ours. We did look at another daycare but I didn't feel comfortable. We finally talked to Melissa at KC-John Humphrey and gave it a try. To be honest I wasn't thrilled about the idea of a "commercialized" daycare. Melissa and all the staff/teachers are absolutely incredible. They made the transition easy. They even helped and accommodated as we transitioned our son from home purees to table food; from formula/BM to dairy milk/water. We saw so much growth and development in our lil guy after just a couple weeks. The app is great for communication and just seeing how our son's day is going/went. They are very diligent about children's health. Although it was hard, our son had to stay home a couple times because of sickness that had similar symptoms to Covid (but wasn't). I can appreciate the effort. I wouldn't want other kids to expose our son in the same situation. They followed up on his "sick days" just to check in on him. The ONLY reason we are leaving this center is because we're moving to Elgin. We've only been going to KCJH for about 5 months and will truly miss the team. They genuinely care about the children and families. On another note, our transition to an Elgin KC has been seamless as well. We look forward to the same caring staff up north. For all the new parents struggling decide to send your child(ren) to daycare in the OP area, send them to KCJH. You become a better parent because of the reduced stress/mental break and the child(ren) love it.

My son has been going to the children's courtyard for over 2 years and I would recommend this…read moredaycare through and through. I feel confident his safety is always the number one priority. He has built amazing connections not only with his classmates but the teachers and other staff. Everyone is friendly and very invested in my son's health, growth, joy and success. We love all the crafts for the holidays and special occasions. We love their outdoor playground and water days during summer camp! Overall a great daycare experience and great start for any child any age. We have always had our concerns taken seriously and easy to have conversations staff through their easily accessible app or in person. You never need to worry about communicating.

My wife and I have been sending our son to Children's Courtyard since 2023 starting when he was 4…read moremonths old. Being our first child, we were understandably apprehensive about daycare, but it didn't take long to see how caring each of his teachers were. Every classroom he's been in has been an excellent experience. The teachers are attentive and great at communication. Their Sproutabout app, which they use to send parents updates, is second to none, and being able to check in on the live cameras at any point gave us the transparency we needed to feel comfortable. Please don't think of this as your average daycare. The teachers who care for the kids are truly teaching our little guy so much. Every single day he comes home sharing what he's learned, sharing new experiences, arts and crafts and he genuinely enjoys being there. Lastly, I cannot speak highly enough of the facility leadership. They communicate so well with us, they're always cheerful, and they have strong bonds with the kids who attend. They handle challenging situations well. There's so much to speak highly of. Hats off to Tracy, Isabel and Dani for being such a great leadership team, building an amazing team of teachers and for fostering an incredible environment for the kids to thrive in.

You can tell no one wants to be there and kids are basically on their own especially the little ones. No one tried to show any emotion or consolation towards my little one during this adjustment which only made it harder for them. Kids were left crying at drop off and teachers would just roll their eyes as they would watch them cry. Instead of helping them and trying to calm them down. Also kids were not being fed enough. Very limited portions and would not offer seconds. I do not understand why people keep bringing their kids here or why no one else notices these issues. Stay far far away
