KLA Plainfield has been a community we didn't know we were missing. After trying at-home care for a…read morefew months, my husband and I were pressed to find more reliable options. This was the second daycare we toured, and we were surprised at how quickly we felt at-ease. After Principal Shannon gave us a tour of the classrooms and curriculum, we knew that they were fully committed to the best experience for both parents and children. I expected the first month to be rougher, but in truth it wasn't. I got frequent updates of how my son was doing after drop off from Ms. Karen and Ms. Shannon, along with photos of our little guy assimilating in his new environment. I also enjoyed seeing the photos from the Vrutti app of class activities and the children playing with each other. I'd always hold my breath to see our son's nap duration, but I was surprised at how well he was sleeping so soon. We thought we would ease into daycare with a 3 day a week schedule, but our only regret is not going 5 days sooner! My husband and I can now work soundly knowing our child is in extremely capable hands. All the staff are very forthcoming as well if your child seems off/sick, had an accident, etc. There is a strong culture of honesty and integrity here. So after almost 4 months, I can confidently say the staff at KLA have been a true blessing. We are not stressed about call-offs or our son being bored at home anymore with the same stations. He is so advanced at 14 months, learning how to hold pencils and playing with his friends in class. Baby Nido teachers Ms. Sayantani, Ms. Cristina, and Ms. Eva are the dream team. Leaving your kids with non-family can be difficult in any capacity, but the Baby Nido teachers are true professionals. They are confident with the kids and you can tell they really enjoy what they do. All of this to say--you will meet some fantastic staff members here at KLA as well as great parents. Don't struggle alone, don't stress to be an employer on top of your full time job... just give KLA a shot and you will find yourself to be as relieved as we were

We have been with KLA for almost two year and are extremely happy with the philosophy and community…read morethey've created there. I have been a working mother since ever and my son started going to daycare since he was one year old, we started in Kiddie Academy but then things changed in a not positive way and I urgently was looking for a change and I thank god I found KLA which I always say it has been the best change ever for my son... Right now my son is at 3s room and have been happy during the entire journey. The teachers and administration treat the all of the children as their own, and the knowledge my young children bring home every day is amazing. Starting with the staff in when you get in Ms Morgan is so charm and kind, she is always available to answer all your questions in the best way possible :) Ms Stephanie is always with a smile in her face and always ready to help ...Ms Carrie is always kind ...Ms Erika the director is a wonderful leader she always know what is happening to every child and when it is needed talks to the parents making us feel secure and comfortable on our child's development Ms. Liz , Ms. Alyssa and Ms. Destiny are so lovely and fantastic. I normally pick up my son almost at the closing time and every time I have a hard time to make him leave with me...that means he loves the school and he has named KLA his home so I cant be more thankful for the environment and the teachers that take care of him :) Ms. Amanda and Ms Becca now lead the older 3s class and has been a great partnership with them. They are loving and patient but is great with molding manners and listening skills actually It is very easy to work with both of them on a daily basis to supervise my child's development. They go above and beyond hand-writing a note every day explaining how the day went the ups and downs and the corrections or rewards that he received,because many times when I pick up my son they already left, thanks to them my son have improved in a lot of areas in such short period of time and that is thanks to the devotion, compromise and dedication of Ms Amanda and Ms Becca. My son absolutely adore them. Ms. Lucy is adorable she is so sweet and patient with all the kids...she teaches Spanish and having a Hispanic heritage it is crucial that my son learns Spanish at school so I love having her as Spanish teacher :) Gracias Miss Lucy Ms Kimberly and Ms Nikki are in the other 3s classroom they are fantastic everytime that my son interacts with them he is very happy and he know them perfectly ... I could truly go on and on about about the teachers and staff at KLA. As a working parent you tend to feel guilty about leaving your kids on a daily basis. However, after so much time spent at KLA, I actually feel a little guilty on the days they are NOT there because I know they are probably having more fun and are learning more when they are there! You can feel confident that your children are in great hands when you are gone. Just don't feel bad when they cry when you come to pick them up because they don't want to leave... It happens to all of us!

I truly cannot say enough good things about this daycare! My…read moredaughter has been here for about a year now, and the difference compared to our previous daycare experience is honestly night and day. Our previous experience was not a good one, so finding a place where I feel comfortable, welcomed, and confident leaving my daughter has meant so much to me. From the moment we started here, everyone has been so kind, caring, and welcoming. You can genuinely tell that the staff care about the children and want them to feel safe, included, and loved. A shoutout to Violetta and Urekha! They are absolutely wonderful and have been such a positive part of my daughter's experience in her transition to her new classroom. One of my favorite things is seeing how much my daughter learns while she's here. She is constantly coming home having learned something new, whether it's a new word, skill, activity, or something she's excited to show me. It makes me so happy knowing she's not only being cared for, but also learning, growing, and having fun every day. I also really appreciate how consistent and organized the daycare is with their schedules and routines. It gives the kids a sense of structure while still keeping things fun and engaging. They do so many creative and exciting activities, and I love seeing all the kids included as a group and making sure everyone feels like they are part of the classroom. As a mom, finding a daycare you can truly trust is so important, and I am incredibly grateful that we found this one. I feel so much more at ease knowing my daughter is surrounded by people who genuinely care about her. Thank you to the entire staff for everything you do every day to keep my daughter happy and smart!

Honestly, I cannot say enough good things about this school!! The first day that my 4 year-old son…read moreattended the school, he came home happy, cheerful, and proud to be a student of "Montessori school." He felt safe, included, and confident as a new little learner in his classroom. His enthusiasm and interest to learn and explore new things grows everyday. I cannot thank enough his teachers for guiding and encouraging him to learn and explore new things in school. I found everyone working in this school, right from the administrators to the teachers, to be caring, dedicated and compassionate individuals who love working with children. They work tirelessly to support and guide them in order to help them gain meaningful knowledge at their own pace. In short, this school is a hidden gem tucked away in North Aurora road and all parents who want their children to experience authentic Montessori method of learning in a school, should definitely visit and explore this school. I only wish their organization had a prominent website that was solely dedicated to the school and shared their curriculum, vision and mission. Had there been a proper website of this school instead of the "montessori unlimited", we would have enrolled our son long ago when he was 3; we learned about this school from a friend and I'm so glad we visited them soon after. Thus, a prominent website and/or a strong presence in social media will, I strongly believe, help many more families to be aware of this wonderful school that provides authentic Montessori learning experience to children.

Well I will start with this place has obviously gone downhill since 2019 - 2021. My review of this…read morechildcare and workplace is certainly not amazing. Quite the opposite actually. The director and staff at COA in Oswego are so unprofessional on many levels. I am going to start by saying my son (who happens to have mild Autism) was hired as a Teaching Assistant. This was told to them on his resume, as well as discussed at the interview. He was hired at COA about 6 months ago. Since being hired, he has been picked on, made to do work that other TA's are not made to do ( ex. clean all floors and toys in all classrooms). Written up for incidents that were embellished by other staff as a means to get him in trouble. Treated with disrespect and now after today called a racist because of a mis-pronunciation of a last name. His own family is comprised of 4 different races. He doesn't have a mean or racist bone in his body. My son, even through all of this, has continued to show up and work every day. He has taken the 10:30 am lunch even when he got to work at 9 am and others have been working since 6 am. He never complained about this unfair treatment due to feeling like he could lose his job all the time. It was evident in his anxiety that he felt left out and not supported at all. He recently had his hours cut, supposedly due to lack of enrollment. Although the center hired 4 new staff since he was hired and he was the staff with hours cut to 15 hours a week. They have treated him like he wouldn't know better and continuously pick on him. They expected him to be alone in a classroom, and because he spoke up and said he wasn't comfortable with this, his hours were cut. What a sad and unfortunate work experience for a young man who just felt he would like to work with young children. As he comes from a family who fostered other children throughout his life. He has had experience working and caring for kids quite a bit, just not in the daycare setting. As his Mom, I really felt this would be a great opportunity for him. How sad of COA to treat someone who is "different " with such disrespect that he no longer wants to work in an environment like that. I doubt you would want your children attending a place that treats their employees this way either. I know I wouldn't. If I thought my son could have written this himself, I would have him do so. His disabilities don't define him. His heart does. We will move on from here, but not without speaking our TRUTH.

I never have a question about what happened in the classroom that day. No accident/injury/illness/issue goes without advanced notice to the parent directly and a written report for home and school files.

And the curriculum in each classroom has proven to help my child succeed in all of the developmental stages and socializing with others. I always know my child is in incredible, loving, nurturing hands at Children of America!

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.

Important to Know Before Applying to Waldorf: Be aware that…read moreWaldorf retains all student records and personal information for seven years--even if your child is not accepted. In my experience, the school seemed more focused on admitting strong test-takers than on fostering genuine learning. Full transparency: my child was rejected after just one day in class--actually only three hours--despite being told there would be a two-day trial and a 65-day review period following the submission of recommendations and testing records. That felt misleading, to say the least. It would have been helpful to receive accurate information up front, rather than going through the emotional and logistical upheaval of preparing for enrollment, only to be blindsided. They know how to say all the right things in the beginning. Honestly, their approach reminded me more of a sales pitch than an educational process.

The director Katie and her entire staff are passionate, hands on and have excellent communication. We transferred to Active Childcare from a different private daycare and it was the best decision we could have made. Every day our child is excited to go to "school" and adores his teachers. Walking down the hallways, you can feel the warm, safe learning environment. The facility is HUGE in size and they place an emphasis on movement, play and daily time outdoors. Each week we receive an education plan with what the focuses are. We are impressed by the carry over from classroom to our home. Our son is about to count to 10, sing his ABCs, and tell us about his day--and he's not even 2! AC provides such a caring, structured environment. We get updates constantly throughout the day of what our child eats, photos, videos etc. The teachers are always accessible and extremely responsive with their communication. They have been extremely kind and accommodating for our family, especially when it comes to scheduling. My child is my whole world. Who I trust him with is the most important decision and I chose and continue to choose Active Childcare.
