I'm so disappointed to write this review, but I feel like it is my only option as Prairie School…read morehas not communicated with me in over five weeks. After touring the school, we applied to the pre-k program for early consideration (2/10/25). While communication prior to the tour and the application was quick and helpful, we started to run into problems after our application and fee were collected. To keep this as brief as possible, we reached out regarding timing of the decision on applications three times (both by email and phone call) to finally be responded to nearly five weeks past the first email. Once we received notification that we were placed on a waitlist and "...should a space in the class become available, the enrollment committee will ensure that your application receives thorough consideration..." we had a couple clarifying questions regarding the waitlist and the review process (as it is worded, it sounds as though our application was not even reviewed). We have not heard back from the school in five weeks. We have tried multiple email addresses, including the enrollment coordinator we had been communicating with, in addition to calling the school. Unfortunately, my experience with Prairie School is this: To apply, a family must dedicate time to attend a tour, complete a lengthy application, and pay a $150 non-fundable fee to ultimately not even have your application reviewed (which leads me to wonder what the fee is for, if not payment for the time/resources it takes to review a family's application). Additionally, the school does not respond to questions regarding the application process once your payment is made. As I'm writing this it sounds so wild! I would not recommend looking into this school.

It has been such a lovely environment for our children to enter into learning and socialization. They get to think for themselves, explore the outside world, think about their place in our environment and be creative in so many different ways. We love Prairie!

I mean, you expect a fourth grader to read 6 hours or so? No! I hated being in that school and couldn't wait to move to New York, Just to move back again.

Everyone in this school are some of the most caring, patient, and knowledgeable teachers I've ever met. I've never heard a single complaint from amy of the parents here and honestly we couldn't be happier. Probably one of the best decisions we've ever made.

We had our 3 year old son at Montessori Academy of Glen Ellyn (MAGE) and removed him after he came…read morehome with a dislocated arm. We understand accidents happen. However, we were not notified of any injury at the time it occurred or when we picked him up. To this day (weeks later) MAGE has been unable to tell us how or when our son was injured that day. Due to our son's age, he was unable to articulate what happened, but it is obviously unlikely he did this to himself. Due to the lack of information provided by MAGE, the pediatric doctor requested x-rays to eliminate the possibility of a broken bone. After x-rays revealed no broken bones, his arm was adjusted back into place. We were asking for 100% reimbursement of the $530 for the x-rays which was our out-of-pocket after insurance, and MAGE denied our request. We are very dissatisfied with how this was handled.

The environment is positive, friendly, open, caring, nurturing and fun. Our children love the school and their teachers. The administration is hands-on, they listen very well and often incorporate feedback from the parents. The academics and faculty are top-notch. The teachers help students reach their full potential everyday. The facilities are outstanding and well maintained. The maintenance team works so hard to keep everything clean and in great condition. Wheaton Christian also has a very nice selection of programs and sports to ensure a rich experience inside and outside the classroom. The love of Christ is at the heart of Wheaton Christian, and His love shines through this school everyday.

There is a record of our children attending Primrose for over 2 years. We communicated our concerns directly with Ms. Vaghani and would never write a review like this if we felt she trying to work with us. The teachers and Mrs. Mims are amazing. Our children learned so much. The curriculum is excellent. However, it appears to be about money for the owners and the teachers are not supported. We witnessed the lack of support first hand from basic maintenance requests taking forever to be addressed and the leadership not supporting the teachers when they asked for help with a student safety situation in class. The office staff was dishonest with us on 2 separate occasions. We loved the teachers and everything that went on in the classrooms, but the leadership made it a poor experience. Be very careful when considering Primrose Carol Stream. Update 6/25/23 The Primrose Leadership asked us to take down this review. We will acknowledge a successful resolution to our concerns. After several emails to the owner, posting this review, and contacting corporate, we received a call from Mrs. Vaghani and were able to resolve everything. We are thankful to have the issues addressed and appreciate the closure. The Leadership Team was reflective and this can be a growing and learning opportunity for benefit of the teachers & children they support.
