I'm very grateful with the entire staff for actually showing how much they care for the kids. They send me updates and pictures everyday, they are very strict when it comes to safety, food allergies etc. They have so many different activities during the week, they engage with every holiday for the kids, staff is very educated and professional they always welcome you with a smile. My daughter is advanced in learning for her age and that shows how much effort they put into teaching the kids, I have tried other daycares and learning centers and definitely Kids R Our Starts is the best!!

I cannot say enough great things about Rising Stars. My 5yo and almost 2yo have been going there…read morefor about 10 months now. The teachers are all absolutely wonderful and caring. How much my 5yo has learned in 10 months is astonishing. She's reading, writing, can count to almost 100, she has learned some Spanish. This facility truly cares about their children and you can tell they are not just in it for the money. I highly recommend to any parents looking for care. The owner Ms Annie is such a sweet soul and Ms Brenda who coordinates the center is super outgoing. I cannot recommend enough.

They are all very loving,caring and most of all patient with my child. They helped with potty training, helped get her out of her covid quarantine shell n be a little less timid. She learned alot of ABC's and numbers and they wld always be on teaching and also having fun for the kids. Always keep u posted on what they doing and eating with thier app.They all very professional and at same time caring. I wld recommend them any time. Yes daycare is a very hard decision now a days, but as scared as I was she made it all these years and Rising Start always helped to keep me at ease that I made the right choice.

We have been absolutely thrilled with the caliber and quality of Intercultural in Oak Park. The…read morecommunity we've created with other parents, the support we feel from the school administration and teachers, and the leaps we've seen both our kids make academically, emotionally, and socially are all reasons we've stayed all the way through kindergarten for both kids. The Spanish immersion was a no-brainer, but the Montessori method was new for us - I truly credit this method in helping shape our kids into little world citizens who are independent, inclusive, curious, and kind.

Um, I was sad after reading the first review. Not knowing what sort of experiences others have…read morehad, my daughter seems to love it at Intercultural. It's a wonderful departure for her from regular day care, and I love the fact that she is getting a healthy dose of the Japanese language every morning. The teachers communicate well and are good at sending home what the children have been working on. My daughter just started at the beginning of November and is happy every morning that she attends school as opposed to not wanting to go to her previous day care. Obviously I don't have as much experience with the school as others do- I am interested to hear what others think. I give it 4 stars simply because it is super expensive. (As are all private schools of quality) We're shelling out a lot of cash monies to read a bad review of this place..... eeek. Thought I'd update my review - Feb. 08 - my daughter does not attend this school any more. We took her out at the end of last school year. She seemed to be the one kid who couldn't handle not understanding the language. She wouldn't talk to, or hardly look at the (Japanese) teachers. It made me sad to take her out because I really wanted her to have the early understanding of another language. She also seemed to dig the Montessori learning techniques. She's super happy at her new school and seems much more comfortable. comfortable

The Day Nursery offers a great program and strong overall childcare, however, do not plan on their…read morefacility being open consistently. Do to a combination of Covid-related restrictions that are in place per the Oak Park Health Department and additional restrictions that the Day Nursery puts in place, we have been unable to consistently rely on the Day Nursery as a childcare provider. In the last 6 months our daughter's classroom has repeatedly closed for 5 days at a time, with the latest closure happening despite zero cases of Covid in her classroom. Communication with parents has been minimal, inconsistent, and reactionary. Our experience has been not been a unique one, with similar closures occurring in all the classrooms. There is a significant movement among school families to remove their children due to the ongoing lack of consistent childcare as well as a lack of future strategy. **Full disclosure, we are a vaccinated, science following, and mask-wearing household.
