Yes! This daycare has great pickup and drop off hours! Just like any other establishment in the…read moreChicagoland area. Please don't be fooled by the 5 star reviews, Terry is "friends" with Pedro who is an owner, this establishment is a money hungry, unprofessional circus. My daughter went there for years and had no issues, my son who needed assistance developmentally was bullied and "expelled." I was called often to pick up my child because they didn't have enough teachers. I was actually told by the director I had to pick him up because they didn't want to over work the teachers. A teacher sent me home a bag of sh*t because she was too lazy to clean up after an accident my son had. The great couple "owners" were no where to be found. Check the student teacher ratio when your child is dropped off and ask to see credentials. Ask to meet the owners. They also have a dog named Bruno they keep on premises (owner's dog) yet they didn't have enough teachers to care for the kids. But don't worry you'll never see the owners because they hide themselves behind their office doors with their Christian religious fascade. For a few more dollars you can have quality care that follow the rules of the state. Within a week my son was switched over to a place that makes them wash their hands before school (didn't know that was state regulation since kidslife never followed this even when my daughter attended), teaches them a curriculum, and has a stable foundation of teachers. If you don't believe me, ask about the turn over rate with teachers, ask about the dog, hand washing, and the fact that there is no homework/structure for the kids. If you are looking for a babysitting service this is your place...but if you are seeking quality care with true professionals please don't take the advice of Pedro and his yelp friends with their phony reviews and take a moment to find a facility that safely and confidently addresses all of your child's needs. For 650 a month find REAL care! My son was kicked out once I reported the center to dcfs coincidently when my son mentioned that he saw a mouse there, that is after HE told me about Bruno the dog. Steer clear of this circus and save yourself a headache. P.S. Jacky (the hidden reviews) is the school director. Pedro is the owner (review has since been moved to not recommended reviews on bottom of page). So not only do they suck! They bully their staff into giving themselves 5 star reviews. Why don't you focus on delivering 5 star service versus faking it! P.S.S. I am considering removing my review as the owner Pedro has edited his comment three times and I'm tired of getting email notifications about it. Guilty conscience much? I am also considering raising the rating bc I am impressed with how much he is trying to make my opinion irrelevant by glorifying his business online. Since this updated review, he's updated his comments 4 times on my review which I would consider the most interaction from the owner I've ever had since apparently meeting in person was not an option.

I know my daughter is in good hands when I drop her off, and she has a great time at the school. I also appreciate the friendly, responsive administrative team and the flexible extended hours. My daughter is usually at school from 8 - 5:30, but they are open from 6:30-6, which helps on days I need to drop her off early or pick her up.

She's always playing with the other kids when we come to get her and she always seems so happy. She learned to crawl there by watching other babies and learned to love books. They have an open door policy which is great because we love to see her whenever we can. I will say there have been some instances where my daughter came home with dry food on her face and hair and all over her clothes and one instance where her diaper was not put on properly and she peed herself. Which obviously made us angry and every time we address it with Ms. Katrina, the director, it gets addressed and does not happen again. We don't look to create issues but when something doesn't look right in the care of our daughter, my husband and I address it and they put our concerns to ease without issues. Do I recommend this daycare? Yes. I feel so comfortable knowing my daughter is there enjoying herself with all the toys, books, and baby couches and she has a lot of space to crawl which she loves. Since those issues, nothing like that has happened again. My daughter has come home with a clean face and hair and clothes and she doesn't cry when we drop her off and she always looks to be enjoying herself while there. It's very secure in the federal building and even the daycare does drills like the rest of the building. It's going to be sad when my daughter has to leave at 15 months.

My son had food allergies, which made me so nervous about the daycare situation, but they were so wonderful about it. There has never been an issue. Just wanted to share my positive experience with CCC.

It's cheaper in the area for a reason. I say cheaper because daycare is not cheap! Compared to…read moreother daycares in the area this was the cheapest I found, and at the time it met our needs. But my child's learning, growth and livelihood as made me change my mind. I'll pay more for peace of mind. Not even when during the registration process that I had to sign off that the facility informed me that they had done their yearly bug spraying, i kept on signing the paperwork. At least they told me they have bugs and took care of them right? No, wait until summer when your child doesn't want to wash their hands in one of the sinks due to ants/bugs going all around it. The highlight of the month is pajama day at this school. No field trips, dance/music class, foreign language...none. The carpet is cleaned yearly, but its very dirty and old. The toys and the play area in the back is very dated as well. The building needs an revamp/update.' My child has allergies and her nose was running year round being in this facility - this has change with the move to her new school. Another reason for pulling my child out was the fact that she would come home and ask me to watch TV show that she had never seen in our home. When I would ask her where she found out about this show, she would state from the phone from one of the teachers. Meaning after awhile, Frozen or Mickey Mouse Playhouse is taking care of my child. The final straw for me was with the food that my child was fed. One day in the stores, my child pointed to ramen noodles and called it chicken noodle soup. I was not understanding why she would do so - upon further probing, she informed me that ramen packets were served in her school and was called Chicken Noodle soup at school. I immediately called and spoke to one of the directors who confirmed this to be so. She informed me that yes they use Ramen Noodles packets, however that don't use the full flavor packets when making it and also add vegetables. I pulled my child out within the next week. I must say that some of the teachers are the highlight and saving grace of this school, as the directors were never really there. With the tools they were provided, the teachers tried (i still don't appreciate the watching of tv on phones). Even when I came earlier than 4 to pick up my child, the few times i did I saw them maybe twice. I can say for the 2 years we were at the school I only saw the two directors may 5 times. My child is now at Children's Land, which just opened literally down the street from One Leap Ahead. Prior to starting my child at One Leap, I was interested in getting her into this school based on the education programs, field trips, menu and cleanliness of the facility - however there was no opening in their Wheeling location. I am so happy that a new site opened right by us. It has been such a great move for our family!

This facility only fell on our radar through word of mouth referral of a phenomenal teacher. The…read morecenter is quietly tucked away just off the noisy hustle of Lake and Milwaukee Avenues. What we found after touring was an entire team of fabulous teachers at One Leap Ahead (OLA). After touring numerous facilities prior to making a decision we decided to go with OLA. In truth I can't say that we saw something wrong in the way the other centers were operated. Many of the sites were newer with more modern amenities. However, what we discovered with OLA set them apart from the others which helped make our choice easier. Our assessment was rooted firmly in the quality of care our child would receive. This is EXACTLY what we found at this site. The first telltale for me in the quality of the program and care was the number of professional families that are educators and in the health care field like myself. The teachers at this center are long-term employees; even assistants have a lengthy history with OLA. The owners and Directors are all former teachers at the center. This all translated to me as a love for the job they perform and it resonates in the way it's operated. Everyone in the facility is CPR certified including the Chef! The teachers are regularly in-serviced and educated in their field. Families supply "community" supplies once a year, keeping tuition competitively low for the area. Most of the items are easily picked up on a Costco or Target run. I have never been asked for another dollar outside of registration and regular tuition. Yet I've received countless projects including, photos, tie-dyed tees and the like throughout the year. No surprise fees! The teachers get even the tiniest fingers and toes involved in art and sensory discovery. I really appreciate the stream of activities to keep my little guy busy and the detailed notes I receive at the end of each day. The teachers keep parents informed on each little milestone reached on their watch; a true blessing for a working mother. They are able to seamlessly accommodate the individual needs of each child yet keep the group intact. While teachers have assigned classrooms they are all cross-trained in the rituals of other age-groups. They have the teamwork-thing down! There is indescribable warmth in this center you feel the moment you walk into the front door. I did not smell soiled nappies or hear background noise of constant crying. I'm not saying that the children don't cry but the frequency and duration are short lived. Children are a priority at OLA and their emotional needs are addressed accordingly. It's comforting to be able to leave your little one with a team of professionals and rest easy knowing he is not only in capable hands but in loving ones as well!
