So I went to the Illinois state accrediting website for daycares to see if any of that was substantiated and there is no record of discipline for any similar sounding incident. I never woke with anyone at the center about the allegations but felt confident based on my own research. So I started my kid there a year ago. All I can say for myself is they have been exceptionally accommodating to any specific requests for my kid. She loves it and I feel confident getting so many pictures and videos throughout the day that my kid is safe, having fun, and learning.

I met with the director, Mrs. Yunuen and felt an immediate sense of relief. She took her time explaining every aspect of the services offered at this location. Without hesitation, she answered all my questions and offered assistance with all of the intake procedures. After the smooth enrollment process, my son began services and since then has been thriving! I truly believe this is thanks to Mrs. Yunuen and her abilities to facilitate comfort, communication, professionalism,, understanding, and so much more.

(If I'm being honest, we realized it day one but I waited 2 weeks before reaching back out to request re-enrollment!) The teachers at the Elk Grove location truly make my family feel loved, cared for, and they've essentially become an extension of our family. My daughter's current AND former teacher both babysit her outside of work hours and I'm so thankful that we have a loving school for my little one. Without a different perspective, it can be easy to take things for granted. For example, all of the outside activities, dress up days, arts and crafts and overall fun activities that bring our kids joy is NOT status quo at other Kindercare locations. Elk Grove is special and we couldn't feel more relieved or happier to have returned back! A special shoutout to to: Miss Marti, Miss Mischa, Miss Becky, Miss Kim, Miss Amanda, and Miss Riley for loving my little one so much!!! Thank you for welcoming us back home!

We are so fortunate to have found them years ago by neighborhood recommendation. We have personally referred several others. Miss Kim and her staff are absolutely wonderful! My children have gone through almost every room in the facility and each one has been exceptional. The staff has been consistent throughout our time there which says a LOT. There is very little turn over keeping the learning environment for the children a top priority. Most daycare facilities cannot say the same. One of our children had some significant health issues at one point and the center was on top of it. Another has an anaphylactic allergy and I never worry about his allergy. My children's education and emotional well-being has always been approached with respect, care, and an enormous amount of experience. This week we will be ending our daycare journey as we are aging into kindergarten with our youngest. I've teared up several times already. It will be bittersweet leaving our children's home away from home. 10/5 stars. Cannot recommend enough.

My son has officially been at this daycare center for a year. He started the daycare at 12 weeks…read moreold when I had to return to work. In August, he celebrated his first birthday and in November, he officially reached his 1-year-at-daycare milestone. As a new mom, choosing a daycare was stressful. The idea of leaving my child with strangers made me incredibly anxious and I wasn't sure if I was making the right choice. I was worried my son would not get love and hugs and snuggles throughout the day but that could not be further from the truth. The staff is loving and affectionate. He is always getting love from someone! The teachers are incredibly patient, understanding, and compassionate. They work together to keep the children happy and tended to. My son has developed so well and learned so much at this daycare. He has such a good relationship with his teachers and is often excited to see them. Staff will send pictures often, especially during a celebration. Birthdays at daycare are considered special, they set up a little photoshoot for my son to commemorate the moment. They celebrate often and bring in bouncy houses for kids, provide gift bags, and offer age-appropriate opportunities for fun. They also provide breakfast and lunch that are made at the daycare. Huge plus! The students are allowed to freely play with each other, too, and at just one year old my son already has a little best friend. Thanks, Little Bird! I could not be happier with my choice of a daycare.

Anytime I know someone looking for a Reputable daycare I ALWAYS recommend SA Kindercare. Some other items to note: -communication between teachers and parents as well as kept and the parents is fantastic at each age and no Matter who the teacher is. I can message on the app or call and get an answer to a question very quickly. -my daughter has never had diaper rash and is changed timely. -the teachers are thoughtful and plan activities and lessons for the kids daily; a lot of heart goes into what they do with the kids. -my daughter is already learning potty training practices at two years old because of the time and patience the teachers take with her.

I was worried about the transition from in-home care to a daycare setting, but my boys quickly fell in love with their teachers, their playmates and the structure of their day. My youngest son is special needs, and I was particularly concerned about how he would adapt. Kelly and her staff were happy to put him in a group that better matched his physical and social abilities. His room leads worked with him regularly on the exercises and activities recommended by his many, many therapists to help him make progress, which was over and above what I expected. I also appreciated the "extra" fun events (like pajama day) and curriculum-focused schedule. I feel like my younger kids learned new things every day, coming home singing songs and sharing artwork, activities and new information. We would definitely return! Shout out to Ms Kelly, the Director, and her staff for creating such a loving, inclusive environment.

So, I have not used yelp since I was in college and living in the city. However, I cruise through…read morereviews quite frequently. Had to create a new account seeing as I can't remember my ridiculously embarrassing email I used prior, that being said, pardon my lack of credible reviews. Now, on to it. My daughter has been at GBDC for a little over 6 months, not a long time, but just enough to get a good feel. From the moment we decided to go with this center I have been beyond happy. My daughter is learning basic Spanish words, as well as counting to 20, (I have an older child who struggled with this) confidently knowing all her colors and then some. This to me is very impressive. What I find even more impressive is the smile on my girls face when I pick her up. She is speaking with confidence, walking tall with confidence, and sharing what she has learning, you guessed it, with CONFIDENCE. That is not an easy task for a very keep to herself little girl, I know, I have two more just like her. That excitement she carries is straight from her teachers there at the center, and for that I am grateful! She always tells me how her lunch was, " so yummy, mommy!" Kids and teachers other than her own have treated her tiny little self with love and respect, what more can I ask for? So while I could probably keep going with my rave, I'll cut it short. I'm a little concussed as to why there are so many negative reviews on here? I guess everyone's either full of it and bitter, or just........ . There is not a bad thing to say, and I will forever tell anyone I know to send there kids to GBDC as well! Thank you ladies for all you do, and all the endless hard work to take care of my baby while I'm away! And for whoever is out there reading these reviews while endlessly searching for the "perfect" daycare for your perfect little, please don't only look at the negatives on here. I promise this center is worth the shot, if you don't believe me ask my little Bless.

A couple of weeks prior to my child being neglected and not being changed Timely, I had informed…read morethis Daycare owner that my child had been diagnosed to be on the autism spectrum! This is why my child is 4 years old and not completely potty-trained! The KinderCare just up the street understands this issue... And never blamed my child for any neglect because they didn't neglect him. Great Beginnings did. I have never brought my child there with a rash! He had a wound on his leg because this daycare did not change him for however long! So the audacity of the owner trying to shift the blame on my child not being potty trained is absolutely ridiculous... Considering he's been in several other daycares where this has not been an issue, I know where the blame lies. So we can go back and forth on this issue until we make it to court! Because I still have the pictures the day it happened. And that's the exact day I told these people my son would no longer attend this daycare! I just so happen to take him home and find the wound after. He had been giving me signals of abuse previously that I didn't understand until I found this wound. My child can't speak for himself , so I have to be the one to do so. This daycare knows that my son was unable to speak for himself... Which gave them license to neglect him! KinderCare down the street and NEVER neglected him. Or tried to blame him for his delays in speech and development! How dare you! You should be ashamed of yourself. I'm not the first parent to figure you out. The fact that you thought you could blame an innocent child shows how disgusting you are. And that you shouldn't be caring for any children. Let's ask KinderCare to provide their assessment of my child! Or the primary school he currently attends! You would look absolutely foolish! You stating that I brought my son in with a rash is an absolute LIE! If this had ever been an issue previously, why would I have said anything? He's never had a rash... And you have never reported a rash! I asked why an incident report wasn't drawn up. And the response was,' oh we hope Jax is okay why don't you come in and discuss the situation'... the reply to my initial review was an absolute lie!(ref attached )If that were the case you would have responded to my first inquiry with your phony fact! The fact that you say you can't attend to a child with special needs every half hour- just shows you were/are not equipped for the special needs that you were advised of! Which the next day there was an Autism pamphlet near the check-in! Was that some type of help? I was told that there was a speech therapy program?? Okay then why did I have to have my son assessed Elsewhere for you to understand he had speech issues for his age? There was also a teacher that previously worked there who was the only one to mention this... A week later she was gone. So this place doesn't like to employee people with actual credentials that want to help children. I think this is a place where people pass through when they realize their skills are better utilized to actually help children..., rather than neglect them for time management purposes. It's a good thing I took my child out of there! I would never step foot in this place again! So much so that I have to send my own posted envelope to get a tax document that could easily be uploaded, or sent in the mail. But because the owner is so difficult, and wants to control people is my opinion. Better me send the postage, then go up there and say what I have to say to their faces. Also I would have to record the whole incident because these people can't be trusted. Like I said before if you love your children, don't send them here. I won't go up there because I do love my child... Enough to have taken him out of that place, as well as not put myself in a situation to get in an altercation and end up in jail! I am livid that this person would actually try to say 4 months later that I brought my son in with a rash! Care to take dueling lie detector test? I'm ready! Kindercare can even attest to the fact prior to my son attending Great Beginnings, he never had rash issues despite the potty training! That's a fact. I have facts and this place has deflection. I guess they thought since my mom picked up my son the majority of the time, I would overlook this incident. But I will continue to defend my son against Any Lies! The nerve of a child caregiver, blaming an innocent child for their neglect. Had someone never appointed this ridiculous place out to me, I would have put my son back in KinderCare as I planned initially... good thing also I put him back in KinderCare in November after the incident... And they only reiterated what a true daycare it's supposed to be like... How it is supposed to function for the good of the children, and how special needs are addressed with attention, and CARE. Not neglect. Or excuses!
