They fed the kids canned ravioli while other daycares are trying to serve healthier foods. I used to get phone calls all the time stating that I had to pick up my son because he was sick. I would get there and he would be fine. I almost lost my job because of this. Come to find out, the teachers wanted to go home and would call all of the parents. They didn't change the babies diapers. My sons pants were always wet, and, one day I came in to find my son in pink pants because they lost his pants. Seriously??? How do you lose a kids pants when he's wearing them??? It seemed like DCFS was there a lot and oh the lice outbreaks......

Ms. Gloria is like a 2nd Aunt to my son (Id use Grandmother for reference but she is so young in spirit, I feel Aunt is more appropriate). My kiddo sometimes has a tough time in the morning with separation anxiety and anytime he is upset, she jumps right in and holds his hand and sings with him until he is all better! You could not ask for a better care provider to watch over your precious little one in my opinion!

My three year old grandson loves, loves, loves it here. He recently transitioned from the twos to…read morethe threes and Miss Jackie and Miss Bridgette made the move effortless. Early in the morning Miss Bridgette takes him by the hand and walks him into the room which makes him at ease. Miss Jackie has a full day planned with learning, singing, games and outside time. In the afternoon he's joined by teachers Miss Lexie and Miss Abbie who continue his excellent care. We love that we get updates throughout the day complete with all their activities, pictures, what he's eaten, how long he's slept, etc. I highly recommend this center.

They ensure all my child's daily needs are met/exceeded and make sure to update me throughout The day of what they are doing. My daughter attended A prior daycare and would cry going to class. she was never comfortable there but the moment we started attending a child's place she has thrived and been excited to go to school. She's made new friends and the teachers she has had have ensured she is happy and healthy, all protocols are followed to keep her safe And that makes me a happy mom. My infant loves his class too and always has a big smile on his face the moment he sees his teachers! I'd recommend a child's place to anyone!

Trust me. Look elsewhere. Differential treatment and abuse. Any aggressive handling of a child is…read moreabuse. Abuse is abuse. Defend yourself by stating you've been in business for 30 years but you were handed a business from your mother and have handled it very unprofessionally. Why would a director call police for a normal pickup by a father after he called you out for your inability to do your job but not call the police when another parent comes to you and states they witnessed abuse? Investigations are under way. My advice to anyone doing research look at reviews. Google reviews are made by director and then answers himself as the business. Many different platforms I've researched have multiple negative reviews for this facility. Go elsewhere. The place isn't what it used to be

Our daughter started just under a year ago with House of Children. She was in and out of in home…read moreday care since birth. We decided to make the change from in home to House of Children quickly. I didn't know much about House of Children, due to quick transition. Since our daughter has been there, we are very satisfied with House of Children. The staff is amazing with all the children, if it's group effort or individual one on one time. Any questions we have they answer right away, if not follow up with in the next day. Our daughter talks about her day and is excited about it. Anytime we asked her before House of Children, she would say she doesn't remember or she doesn't 't know. Now, she talks about what she ate or what she did outside or the art projects she made and the books she read. This shows she is learning and excited about being there. Because we are comfortable and know our daughter will have a great education for kindergarten, we have decided to keep her there for Kindergarten instead of attending the local school. We are very satisfied with House of Children and would recommend to anyone!

This is a continuation of my previous review left on 12/11/25…read more The DCFS investigation confirmed that Launch Enrichment violated Illinois confidentiality and record keeping standards. DCFS substantiated findings that identifiable child and family information was shared without proper written parental consent and that records were maintained inaccurately. While not every concern raised resulted in a citation, DCFS required corrective action, confirming this was a compliance issue rather than a disagreement over behavior or expectations. Records are a bit buried but for anyone doing their research, DCFS licensing citations and monitoring reports are public record and available at https://sunshine.dcfs.illinois.gov. Navigate to the Reports tab, then click Monitoring Report Search, and enter "Launch Enrichment" in the Provider field. The monitoring report associated with the "2900" location is available by selecting the PDF icon. Download the PDF and google the citation numbers for definitions. Again, hoping this will help future families when researching daycare facilities.
