My daughter is always so excited to go off to school! She is happy, learning new things, trying new foods (in half day programs it includes snack and lunch!), making new friends... The staff is always helpful and friendly and truly seem to care, and the classrooms are large. This year they started a teacher-parent messaging system using an app, so I get to hear from the teachers how each day was about 15 minutes after I pick her up! They send pictures with it too. PPED is a great place to send your little ones!

Absolutely the best! My 2-year-old son started preschool this year at PPED. I couldn't ask for a…read moremore friendly and loving environment for him, and he looks forward to preschool every day. PPED is very accommodating; you can choose to bring your kids any combination of weekdays, not just a set MWF or TR schedule. They offer full-day childcare, and are always happy to keep my son all day on days when we have other commitments and need childcare. PPED offers preschool for 2-year-olds and they even help with potty training! Also, my son has a healthy snack and a full hot lunch before pickup, so he can come home and get his nap in on time. Aside from all the perks mentioned above, the staff here really love and care about the kids. Everyone always has a smile on their face, and they truly seem excited to see my son every morning. Kids can pick up on this pretty fast, and it doesn't take more than a second for him to have a big smile on his face and run right to one of his teachers. Leaving such a young child with someone else can certainly be stressful, but I feel great knowing that my child is being cared for by people who have earned my trust and really care about his well being. We are so lucky to have found PPED. Thank you all!

The staff cares for the children really well and the education is the best. It's a bonus that the center take children up to 12 and transport the older kids to and from school.

Hi @Melissa penny lanes business director,…read more Since I can't reply back to your comment on my review I'll just write it here. Nothing, I wrote is inaccurate information. I totally understand that these reviews are very important for penny lanes business. This is why I took the time to write out the review. For parents seeking child care for their children and wanting to make the best decision. Actually, some of the things that you stated in your reply was very inaccurate such as my reason to leave the daycare. We left due to having so many incidents occur and the lack of incidents reports being made and also lack of accountability. Most of the time my daughter was sent home from daycare with cuts and bruises. Teachers were unable to explain what happened due to them "not being around" or "leaving early for the day" so she was left in the care of substitute teacher and no one in the daycare could find whichever "substitute teacher "was in the class in at the time to explain the constant injuries. Also, on August 11th I was called into penny lanes due to my child having a busted lip and chipped tooth. I expressed my concerns to the director of the daycare Ms.Laura she responded back to me and let me know if I wanted my child to not have so many incidents I needed a nanny. Which I was completely token back by. I understand things happen in a daycare but as a director for that to be the response back to a concern parent is very insensitive. Also, to double back to the abrupt departure. Laura allow us to leave without putting in the 2 week notice due to not us moving but me being so uncomfortable with my child being enrolled under you guys care second longer. Her last day was that Thursday morning November 6th due to another unreported incident. My daughter was enrolled in for a year. I have never once received a weekly paper meal plan in advance. My child was there 5 days a week and 8-8.5 hrs a day. So I understand that health and safety is the utmost importance but it's seems like the ball was dropped multiple times with my child. Also, is always a lack of accountability. This is not the blame game. If I'm paying for a good quality daycare I expect the best quality health and safety for my child. I left the review for parents to understand that penny lanes daycare of oak lawn does not provide this experience for each and every child. Also, if you need for me to provide any proof I can. Thank you. -Brianna Boyce

Penny Lane school in Oak Lawn exceeds every expectation we had as parents. From the moment we…read morewalked through those red doors, the environment is warm, clean and thoughtfully designed to make children feel safe, engaged and genuinely happy. What I love most about this place is their staff, their level of care, patience, and attentiveness goes far beyond what we could have hoped for. Its rare to find a place that combines such high standards with genuine heart, but Penny lane (Oak Lawn) does exactly that. We are incredibly fortunate to have found them and would recommend them wholeheartedly to any parent looking for exceptional care. I currently, have 3 of my kids enrolled there. 2 of them in daycare and 1 in their before and after school care. We also leverage their summer camp program. We love Penny Lane, Oak Lawn!

Our oldest is…read moredoing an excellent job in Kindergarten this year thanks in part to what he has learned at Thornridge. The class sizes are good and the teachers are great and very caring! It is like a small family here. The classes cover many different topics and are very "hands on". There is a play area for open play and a large room for more exercise type activity. There are educational field trips throughout the school year. The only reason its not 5 stars is because I would prefer a longer (duration) learning program instead of 2.5 hours per day. Very happy to be part of the Thornridge family!

I cannot say enough good things about Thornridge. My oldest child just graduated from the Pre-K…read moreprogram and is very prepared for kindergarten. He had such an unbelievable and valuable experience at Thornridge that he was actually crying and truly sad it was over (as was I). He has built many incredible friendships and has nothing but great memories from the classroom to the fun field trips he attended. The teachers genuinely care about the children and are very creative in the lessons they teach. For instance, learning the alphabet, numbers, teaching the kids to write their names, and even cooking! They are very involved with every activity they do and truly enjoy teaching the children. They put so much more time into the regular school day (2.5 hrs), their day is not over after 11:30 am, by no means. I am very happy that my youngest son will be going there next school year for the 2 day program and then the following year for the 5 day Pre-K program. I know he will have the same special experiences and build friendships like me oldest son did. Very happy and thrilled to be a part of the Thornridge family!
