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!

My son started at Learn & Grow Academy last month after we moved from Chicago. He had previously…read moreattended a well known daycare in Lincoln Park. We cannot believe the significant difference in his growth and development in the course of a month! Cecil, Lisa and Leza are all amazing and treat each child as their own. We receive daily reports, pictures and updates documenting his process as well as being able to see his new skills at home on a daily basis! He was previously not talking and now he makes animal noises and started saying words. Our family is so happy with this establishment and its wonderful staff. We highly recommend Learn & Grow to other families in the area!

She has lost my check and waited two months to tell me I still owed. She charges more money than she should when dealing with DHS. She claims children were in attendance even if they weren't just to get more money from DHS. She is not very friendly either, especially towards the kids. Every time I was there she was always in her office! Never greets parents, students, or staff members. I would not recommend this center. The Antioch location is the in reference.

I really can't say enough about this place. My daughter has been coming here for over 2 years and I…read morecan't express my gratitude enough to the teachers and directors in this place. Hats off to all of them, forgive me if I forget any names, Ashley, Lisa, Mary Beth, Carlene and everyone who has made my daughter feel like at home when she is there. I have to say that leaving Serendipity is bittersweet, my daughter made some very good friends with some of the kids.. She learned so much, such an amazing program and teachers do love those kids.. They are so passionate about what they do... If I could keep my daughter forever there I could.. It's worth every dime. Thank you for everything you all did with my daughter.. I am extremely grateful for all of you there.

We have been using Kidsuccess as our preferred childcare center for six years and we couldn't be…read morehappier with our experience. They took fantastic care of our daughter from the time she was 3 months until she left for kindergarten, and we were sad when her time with her daycare family had come to an end. She learned so much in her time there and was more than ready for kindergarten both socially and academically. She loved all of her teachers, classmates, and most of all.. all of the crafts and activities they did. When our son was born last summer we knew exactly where we wanted to send him. The staff has always been there to support us as different things popped up and have been super flexible with our schedules. They also taught us so much when we were new parents. We have no doubt in our mind that they love our kids and give them the care and support that they need.
