Peter Pan preschool is an amazing preschool, best in the area honestly. Both of my children went…read morethrough their program and I have to say they were more than prepared for kindergarten. They have a play based approach, but don't let that deter you, the things my children have learned is astonishing. Mrs. V and all the other teachers are awesome. They care so much about the kids. My daughter cried when leaving the first day because she was going to miss her teacher, that should give you an idea of how the kids are treated and how much the kids love it as well. Peter Pan also follows the district, they start a bit later and end a bit earlier than the district so you have time to drop off and pick up your other kiddos. If I could I would give them 1,000 stars. I did read some of the negative reviews and I disagree with them; this is an absolutely spectacular place to send your children. My kids love school and Peter Pan helped build that foundation for them. For that I will forever be grateful. I will always recommend this school to whoever asks or is looking. I would like to add to Dominic Leodoro. He stated in his initial review that Mrs. V was a nice woman, yet he keeps his review. Mrs. V can't go back and own the business, so she did the best she could being an employee. She has taken this business over and made it into a wonderful place and program. Replacing what the problems were there. Now while this does not change your experience with the previous owner I think there should be an acknowledgement of the positive changes that have been made since Mrs. V acquired the business. You stating that the program is laughable and that they are babysitters is not a reflection on what it has been changed into.

It was such a difficult decision to leave, but necessary due to our commute. I always felt completely safe leaving my children in their care.

High Hopes has taught my children so much, and I'm so grateful for everything they have done.

My son has been going to Haven for Tots for a year and a half now. When we moved to Oak Lawn during…read morethe height of the Pandemic, it was hard to find somewhere with a spot available. Haven was the first place that could accommodate us, so we jumped on in. What a fantastic decision that was. Communication with teachers on eating schedules, the children's learning curriculum, and their daily activities was wide open. We get daily updates, photos, and progress reports monthly to track the progress of our little one and things we can help him work on at home. There's also a monthly news letter that goes out about birthdays, the focuses on each classroom for the month, Holidays, and upcoming events. They spend ample time outside when the weather permits, allowing the children to get fresh air and experience a form of nature. They also have them learning English and Spanish which helps with the growing Hispanic cultures of the Chicagoland area. We've developed such a great bond with the Administrators and Teachers here, and while there is turn over like every daycare, I never felt like the new ones coming on board were less than qualified in their positions. Of course children will be children, sometimes there's bites, and scratches, but we've always been made aware of these instances, and it's been well documented with the DCFS recommendations. As COVID-19 guidelines were loosened up at our friends daycares, the Staff here continued Masking, cleaning schedules for all areas of the facility, and isolation for those with symptoms. Which really made me and my wife feel like they truly cared for the safety and wellbeing of my little one. While I understand this is a touchy subject to some, working in the Healthcare industry, this put me at ease. Their policies and procedures are structured and communicated quickly and efficiently, so you never are guessing on what's going on at the facility. It's also just happens to be one of the cheapest Daycares and Pre-Schools in the area, which is concerning for some, but I never felt like we were paying a "cheap care tax". It's a non-profit, and has been around for decades, and it always felt to me that we were getting way more from our money compared to others in the area. They also are very understanding and accepting of Child Care subsidy programs, Dina the Director puts up a lot with my Federal Employee Child Care Subsidy which requires a lot more information than others. The reviews here that are bad are old, and not at all a representation of the experience we have had here. I send my child here every day during the week, and I trust them with the safety and wellbeing of my Child. He looks forward to going to school, getting excited every morning when we start getting his shoes on screaming "SHOES! SCHOOL!". I look forward to working with them over the next couple of years as my Child grows, and am more than satisfied with our decision to go here. It's worth noting that Haven For Tots is in a Lutheran Church, and is a Christian based Daycare. Which, if you're in the area than you know how common this is. While I did question this before going as our family does not practice but respects others rights to, the most of their religious activities are prayers before meals. Which in the grand scheme of things, is very minor, and there's nothing wrong with saying thanks for food provided. They've found a way to keep their Christian goals acceptable with those that don't follow, without leaving you feeling like something is being forced into your kid's brain. Shout out to Luisa and Dina, who really put us at ease when we first became part of the Haven For Tots family.

Worst response to child abuse from staff and board. 8/19 I dropped off pull ups for my kids at day…read morecare. 8/22 I dropped off clean underwear for them for the week. 8/23 I go and pick up my children and notice my son had on nothing not a pull up or underwear underneath his shorts. When I questioned why I was told by their teacher with a nasty attitude might I add "they need more". Now I knew for a fact they didn't need more because I just brought some and if they needed more of anything no one had informed me. I kindly disagree with the teacher and she comes back with the bag of underwear I dropped off for my children. 8/24 my mom picks up the children for me to take them to a drs apt while I'm at work. She and the teacher had a nasty verbal disagreement in regards to the underwear incident. 8/25 my son throws the nastiest fit ever the entire morning leading up to getting them to daycare as well as after school he was extremely upset. To the point that I recorded these fits in disbelief as to why would my child who is always so happy and excited to run out the door for school was so reluctant to go. I also call DCFS and report the underwear incident this day. 8/26 8:47pm I'm taking my son out of the bath and he's telling me "so and so hit me" I then proceed to record him and ask who hit him, where on his body did they hit him and where were they when this happened. 8/29 DCFS called me to follow up and I make them aware of what my son told me that weekend. They advised me to make a police report. 8/29 at pick up I had the police arrive with me to speak with me about said incidents I've reported to DCFS. I kindly asked the teacher not he arrested considering her child goes to daycare there also and I'm not a monster. Since then I've been emailed letters stating it's in the best Interest of all parties involved that my children remain home until DCFS makes a recommendation(yet I'm being told the teacher was at work that day). Since then I've spoken with DCFS, family attorneys and other parents. I've also tried to contact the daycare personally via phone, email and the app we use to communicate about the children throughout the day. NO RESPONSE AND ALL MY CALLS WERE IGNORED. A letter was sent out to all of the parents EXCEPT me claiming the police were there because "An unfortunate situation occurred with a parent and the Oak Lawn Police Department came to investigate." Apologizing to those students parents for the stress they may have endured. This is wrong on ALL levels. I did what any good parent should ALWAYS do and listen to my child and take whatever he says seriously. I'm highly disappointed in our experience. I'm flabbergasted as the daycares response is to blame the victim and punish the family. Today 11/13 I still have not heard back from DCFS. The daycare refused to answer any calls and the teacher has still been working since the alleged incident. I do have videos of my son telling me what happened. I have videos of him acting out not wanting to go back following the alleged event, as well as letters from the daycare and their response to these incidents. I lost weeks of wages because we were so suddenly "asked" not to come back to daycare. Let's talk about the binder full of "accident reports" my sons accumulated while in their care. A binder full! I'm glad my sons can talk now and tell me what was really going on. If I could give zero stars I WOULD!

They still have to pay and every time I went there they were either calling to send sick kids home or someone was coming to pick one up. They were signed up for 5 days a week and neither one made a full week. 2x they made 4 days. I think the state and local governments should see if the employees can even make a full week because they seemed to be short staffed a lot. Maybe hire someone to clean or is cheaper to collect the money and send the kids home. Week 11 and I am paying and took them out because they are both sick now the second one was off for an operation but is now sick because they sent home other twin on Friday with another ear infection while the other one was getting an operation for his foot. Now you might think these boys have not been anywhere? Wrong! They have had to visit the mother who landed up passing away after spending August to February in the hospital rehabilitation and hospice also while visiting their uncle who was in another nursing home and hospice facility so I am going with stay away from this cesspool of disease and please can the authorities check this place out for cleanliness or and running a scam on the local and federal government
