The teachers there are incredible - we would name each one here if we could, but would like to especially spotlight Ms. Jill and Ms. Keri, Ms. Alexyss, Ms. Page, Ms. Brittney, Ms. Kathy and Ms. Bos and on the administrative side Ms. Pamala and Ms. Sarah. They put so much effort each and every day into their lesson plans and all of the additional surprises that the kids can throw at them. They all clearly care about each and every kid in the school and in their class. We're so grateful to have them in our kids' lives. We would highly recommend Chesterbrook (Lisle) to anyone looking for a daycare/school.

We went to Kindercare, Chesterbrook and Crème dela Crème. We chose Pathway. My daughter attended Pathway when we was just 2 years and 8 mos, we started with Miss Miera and Miss Maria. At that time, we are just starting potty training. I think it is more of struggling because I cannot seem to find a way to make her use the washroom. Miss Miera and Miss Maria was so helpful and I guess because of peer pressure she seem to just learn it on her own. A couple of months later, she move to Miss Melissa's room with some of her classmates from the previous room. I think the classroom transfer is based on their age and if there is a spot open in the next classroom. They have different activities to keep the kids busy, weather permitting they would play outside and they also have water days during the summer. After lunch, kids napped and they will have afternoon snacks afterwards. They organize field trips, gardening activities and plenty of drawing/writing exercises. Her last teacher is Miss Robbie, she did a great job of preparing my daughter for Kindergarten. She gave us tips of how we can encourage her to hold a pencil and reading stories. When we started here at Pathway, my little girl was shy and doesn't know how to make friends. My daughter learned a lot and when we started kindergarten she didn't struggle at all, this is all because Pathway prepared them. We left because she was starting Kindergarten and we live in a different school district. She is now in 1st grade and still remembers Miss Robbie and some of her classmates at Pathway, she keeps asking if we can come and visit her. If they were close to my house, my daughter would still be enrolled in their after school & Summer programs.

I enjoy the special events they have had for Halloween and Christmas so far and look forward to more of them! There is frequent communication between teacher and parents and administration and parents. The facility is brand new and immaculate. I am consistently impressed with everything it has to offer. The enclosed park outside and the indoor motor room are so fun. Parents are encouraged to come to class on birthdays which makes me feel very involved. The curriculum is based on books and means I can easily reinforce it at home. Pick up and drop off are a snap and I feel very secure. We cannot wait for next year and years to come with my younger daughter.

But I'm a little heart broken that I'm writing this review because I no longer have a preschooler...I have a kindergartner! Almost 3 years ago my daughter started going to the Stepping Stones class at GLP. Stepping Stones is a wonderful pre-preschool program for kids 2.5-3yrs who aren't able to or aren't ready to start preschool just yet. This is an amazing class for the kids that are a little shy, aren't quite potty trained, or just as an introduction to the classroom environment. Mrs. Eileen and Mrs. Denise are exactly what you'd expect from a preschool teacher. Warm, fun, caring, perceptive, I could go on for days. The kids just love them, loved their class and could not wait to go into the class each time(no separation anxiety here). I was lucky enough to help for the day, and they really create an environment that fosters creativity, learning, exploration, and wonder. Mrs. Eileen also helped me and gave me resources to get my youngest into a great special needs preschool program with the school district. Mrs. Eileen and Mrs. Denise are an awesome team and they also do "All By Myself" and "Little Campers" classes to name a few. My kids still get super excited to see them in the hallway or around the park district. The year when my oldest officially started preschool, her teachers were Mrs. Hanssel and Mrs. Lisa. For 3 year old preschool she had to be potty trained, which I was very nervous about. At home she'd fight me on going to the bathroom or wait til the last minute and have accidents. It was a major power struggle. So her first day of school as I left, I honestly felt like a mother bird pushing her baby bird off a branch. But things went smoothly, she actually had an almost accident, they changed her, and after that there were no more problems. My daughter loved going to school and she got really attached to her teachers, especially Mrs. Lisa. She also came out of her shell and started making friends, all while learning ABC's, counting, colors, and so much more. Mrs. Hanssel really has a knack for making learning a blast. The art projects and class activities she comes up with are super creative and engaging. She is very personable and her weekly newsletters were very informative. For her last year of preschool, my daughter was first with Mrs. Staib MWF, but switched to Mrs. Witt and Mrs. Cheryl's class so she could go M-F. These. Teachers. Are. THE BOMB. My daughter blossomed under their careful attention. She's more talkative and confident than ever before, which blows my mind since she's always been so so quiet and shy. She's learned to write all her letters, and even read a little too. Mrs. Witt greets the kids each day, starts a dialog with them right away. I think it really lets the kids know that they are important but also to leave their cares at the door. I swear, my daughter is insane in the morning and impossible to get out of bed. But as soon as we get to school, she's a different kid! So excited to see her teachers and learn. I knew these teachers would be great because the summer before my kids had camp classes with them. The first day I brought them, I was so afraid my son wouldn't be able to participate and that his special needs would be too much of an obstacle. Mrs. Cheryl was so understanding! She asked a lot of questions to better understand him, made sure he had extra help, and even helped get him a Seaspar aid which has helped him participate in other park district programs. He was so happy to be included! And the camps they come up with are so fun. Each week is a different theme, from art to pirates to dinosaurs. The team at GLP is wonderful. Each teacher clearly loves what they do and it makes this preschool a very special place for the little ones to learn and grow. If they can turn my wild rapscallions into productive members of society, they can basically work miracles.

As older parents of an only child, we thoroughly looked at EVERY (and I'm not exaggerating!)…read moredaycare option in the I-88 corridor area. Initially, we signed up with a flashier competitor within the same top-tier standards, but at the last moment before our infant daughter was set to start there, a mothers-instinct kicked in and I switched facilities at the last moment. Two-and-a-half years later, I have no regrets at that last-minute change. My intuition served me right. The smaller, more personalized, and nurturing care of this facility was completely right for us. Our daughter thrived from the careful attention of a long-term, experienced staff (infant room teachers who had over 15 years of experience in THIS center) who treated my child just like their own ... inside and outside of the classroom. Staff worked WITH us in addressing all our concerns educationally and also with help in parenting tips as well. As our child progressed from the infant room to the toddler room, the caring continued with experienced teachers and a vast array of new opportunities including a curricula adaptable to the children's needs yet supported by a stellar national standard which includes whole learning including science, math, reading, creative play, and even basic word-instruction in Spanis. Being in an office building, the facility seems much more homey than some of the instituionalized day-care centers. The playground isn't a concrete space, but set in a tree-shaded park with designated age-appropriate areas for each group of students. My daughter gets to play in the grass, pick leaves and flowers, help in a garden, play in a sandbox, ride trikes, and so much more in a real outdoor setting. it's wonderful. In addition because of Bright Horizons is part of a larger company, the center has support staff that comes in to the center to teach music and even art in a designated work space. The school has smart boards and computers in the rooms and even has an indoor "Movement Matters" room with ballet bars, mirrors, yoga mats, a climbing wall that is used daily to motivate children in various kinds of physical activity. Even the food here is a step up from most other "day-cares." With an emphasis on healthy eating, an wide variety of fruits and veggies are offered, whole grains are standard, and unhealthy filler juices are replaced with water & milk; homecooked meals and snacks are presented in so many ways with ethnic & comfort styles that my daughter has been expanded her eating habits from most schools traditional nuggets, corn nibbles, pizza, applejuice, and tater-tots! I really can't say enough about this school (not just a day-care). My daughter is academically challenged and ahead of her peers in other institutions, she is socially & environmentally adept ... and is a WELL-ADUSTED and HAPPY little girl who has found the balance of play with forward-thinking learning. She is loved at Bright Horizons and she (and we) love it back. Truly a wonderful place.
