We…read morewould have started sooner, but he was born pre-mature and spent one month in the NICU, so our pediatrician suggested we wait. As an infant, we felt comfort knowing that Joanie and the rest of the staff cared about our son as much as we did and provided him with loving care when we could not be present. Our son is now three years old and can express to us how much he LOVES going to preschool and all of the things he learns. He now has a diverse group of "best friends" including his teachers. As working parents, the school is flexible with our hours and makes sure we don't miss any important moments by keeping us informed. We love attending events outside of regular school as well, and the playground, which is shaded and turfed, is better than any park around. We love Beth El!

Others had interesting smells or visibly upset toddlers while we were touring. From the moment we walked into SLC, we knew this was the right environment for our family. All the teachers were so friendly and you could tell they genuinely care about each child. My kids are both now in elementary school and thriving! SLC prepared them both from an educational and social aspect - they learned manners, respect for others, hit milestones, and were very loved. Highly recommend to any parents looking for a safe and engaging experience for their babies.

They told me "biting is common" and they would do anything they can to stop the issue. Anyway, I picked up my daughter up 3 times in 1 month with bite marks. They said they called the child's parents to pick him up but they removed my child from her classroom 5 instead of the child with behavior issues. A lot of children in this daycare are dcs cases so a lot of them have behavioral issues, they told me they mix special needs children with the regular classes and the children cannot tell. They said they don't offer special teachers to be assigned to certain children. No concern for my children's safety was shown here, so I was forced to remove them before my transfer was done. Now I'm out of a job and don't have childcare either. This biting issue could've been very simply fixed but was not.

The school's international language curriculum, impeccable cleanliness, and exceptional educators make it a truly exceptional institution.

James (Head of School) does a fantastic job making sure the kids have a space where they can truly thrive. We love that the school prioritizes outdoor play, which is so important at this age.

She initially started in the toddler room and has graduated to Children's House. Our younger daughter (aged 20 months) is in the toddler room. We were one of the founding members of this campus and have overall had a wonderful experience. Our daughters have blossomed in this school, gaining independence, confidence, and a genuine love of learning. The classrooms are beautifully organized and nurturing, and the community feels like an extension of our family. We feel a sense of partnership with our guides and value their developmentally appropriate input (assistance with potty training especially!!) Highly recommend to any parent looking for a supportive and enriching environment!

Every staff member along the way has been exceptional, and they've always taken the upmost care of my favorite person.

Every staff member has been amazing, but we especially love and appreciate Miss Kim, Cheyenne, Angel, Mira, Bridget, and lovely Krysten in the office. Before Kindercare on Union, we went to 4 other daycares and I even worked at one of them, and nothing matches the love, care, and peace of mind I get with this facility. If you're searching, take my advice, this is the one you want! Because here youre not just a number like other daycares, they've truly treated us like family since day 1. 100/10, highly recommend!

I've had the opportunity to work at Explorers in Learning, twice. Which means I have more insight…read morethan most who quit after two weeks or a month. Back in 2018, EIL was a place where it was an honor to work there. The directors got along, and if they didn't I never saw it. They were respectful and focused on the children more. Staff that were there had been there a long time. They stood for something. They gave raises and praise. My first year there, I received a 2 dollar raise. My second time around, I received .37 cents. Now, EIL is not a place for growth of development. They do not care about you as a teacher, but they love to have you as a body in the classroom. I'd recommend asking them how their turnover rate is. Just in my 1.5 years (with a 2 month unpaid maternity leave) there, I've seen plenty of staff come and go, 20 that I can think of off the top of my head. A business owner once told me, "Happy people don't leave." I'm not trying to tarnish your thoughts on EIL, but it's not a place to work if you have your own thoughts and opinions. The only benefit they offer is PTO if you work over 32 hours a week. As much as the parents pay, I spoke with two of them outside of work and they were shocked to hear that as pricy EIL is, they do not offer any benefits. If you put your notice in, make sure you use your PTO before you go. I was denied my measly 6 hours of PTO on my last check. As a single mother of two, that's a full days pay as I worked part time. As much praise I received from the assistant director, the parents, and the bonds with the majority of the staff there, the director and one out of two of her daughters who work there are drama filled. They ask you personal information, so they can report it back to her. You're not able to fully express yourself without walking on eggshells. If you want to be in the office, dealing with drama, gossip, a place where the director admittedly said she only knows 5 percent of what goes on in the center, and stress then sign right up, they're always, ALWAYS hiring. You'll have a staff meeting once a month to talk about the same thing without a solution. Ironically, even though I had my issues with the director, the parents and students loved me. Before maternity leave, the director made the decision to remove me from infants since I raised concerns about the ethics in the classroom. Shortly after being removed, a formula fed child drank breastmilk that didn't belong to her. I assume the director removing me from the classroom was to get me to quit, but it didn't. She put me in Bumblebees where I thrive as well. Then a bonus... I had all my babies that I started with and gained in infants. I was extremely happy. One last thing... "Policy is situational" per the director. So really, it isn't policy. Policy is only enforced if you are disliked. From a parents point of view: The teachers are pretty good. My son was in Inch Worms and the bond he created with his teachers and the assistant director was like no other. I appreciated the love they gave to him. They allow you to bring you own food in which isn't common. My son never ate the food there though. It doesn't look very appetizing. The teachers are great, but they don't stay very long. From January to August, my infant child had two lead teachers quit. One negative about the parent aspect is a parent said they were pulling their child because the director can't get along with his wife. That was such a sweet family and they're gone because of the director.
