The lack of communication and response to questions about your childs status is deplorable. The conditions of the dorms are unmaintained, dingy and ramshackled. After you fill out the application (excessive) you need to wait until a week before school starts to see if your child made the list, leaving parents and kids in a fog as to where they stand. How the director of Admissions hasn't been fired is beyond me. The admissions process lacks organization and is in total chaos. We were excited about introducing our child to an independent atmosphere, however after experiencing the "shadow day" and disorganized process we decided this wasn't a great fit. There are separate living facility for transgender students, which seems to be the trend on this campus. Due to lack of structure, deceiving parents by giving false hope we declined this opportunity. The tennis courts are not operable and IMSA lacks sports. Volunteer hours are excessive and your child will be be on a self-directed learning curve (minimal involvenment of teachers). The positive, they had a nice salad bar.

My children started in July 2024, and while the teachers were great, the overall experience was…read moredisappointing. We were quoted one tuition rate, but shortly after enrollment, it increased without warning. When I questioned it, I was told, "It's only a $50 difference, and if you can't afford it, we can unenroll them." That response was hurtful and unprofessional. Tuition is over $1,600/month for toddlers and increased again starting July, yet the meals provided are minimal, often just half a Nutri-Grain bar and faucet water. Parents also have to pay out of pocket for anything extra, making it hard to see where the high tuition is going. Despite the high cost, my son struggled during his kindergarten readiness test, unable to count to 20 or say his ABCs, basic skills I expected him to learn. I've since withdrawn him from the center. I cannot recommend this location. The care and education do not match the price parents are paying.

My husband and I are in complete agreement that this was the BEST decision we have ever made on behalf of our daughter. And the best kept secret of the western suburbs -- well worth the 30 minute commute each way for us. She has always been a good student but we felt she wasn't getting the social support she needed at the crowded, academic heavy public school. We also observed her imagination and boundless creativity being stifled by the rigorous academic schedule. She began struggling with doing homework and completing writing assignments. She became stressed out and even depressed in the evenings and started begging me to let her stay home. She never wanted to go to school and would often cry before and after. We made the difficult decision to transfer her mid-year which was a rocky transition but within a couple weeks, we started to see our joyful daughter come back to us. Now she LOVES school and can't wait to go. The school seems to awaken a love of life and nature in the children and a genuine curiosity. She is constantly over-flowing with ideas and asking questions about the world around her. She decided, on her own, to stop watching TV and playing video games! She told me that she has more important things to do with her time. She is busy constantly writing stories, playing imaginary games in her room, exploring outside, jumping rope, singing and even enjoys doing chores around the house. (!) Four Winds does much less academic work in the classroom than public schools. The 2nd graders a little behind on reading but I'm confident they will catch up. It's whole child education. So lots of fine art and outdoor play. As a result Four Winds kids are eager to learn - they learn quickly and retain information easily. In the spring they learned an entire 30 minute play in verse. It was pages and pages of poetic dialogue and they presented it beautifully. My daughter still knows the lines perfectly. I would even venture to say they are ahead in math. My daughter learned and grasped the concept of multiplication and division in one day! She rattled a few tables off in the car on the way home...I couldn't believe it. I could honestly go on and on about all the things that make this school exceptional. Their spiritual, loving, calm, patient and whole child approach just works. The kids are the proof. When you tour the school, talk to the kids...you will see what I mean.

Our previous experience was not a good one, so finding a place where I feel comfortable, welcomed, and confident leaving my daughter has meant so much to me. From the moment we started here, everyone has been so kind, caring, and welcoming. You can genuinely tell that the staff care about the children and want them to feel safe, included, and loved. A shoutout to Violetta and Urekha! They are absolutely wonderful and have been such a positive part of my daughter's experience in her transition to her new classroom. One of my favorite things is seeing how much my daughter learns while she's here. She is constantly coming home having learned something new, whether it's a new word, skill, activity, or something she's excited to show me. It makes me so happy knowing she's not only being cared for, but also learning, growing, and having fun every day. I also really appreciate how consistent and organized the daycare is with their schedules and routines. It gives the kids a sense of structure while still keeping things fun and engaging. They do so many creative and exciting activities, and I love seeing all the kids included as a group and making sure everyone feels like they are part of the classroom. As a mom, finding a daycare you can truly trust is so important, and I am incredibly grateful that we found this one. I feel so much more at ease knowing my daughter is surrounded by people who genuinely care about her. Thank you to the entire staff for everything you do every day to keep my daughter happy and smart!
