Parents! READ THIS POST! (Please)…read more As my daughter has been growing up, I have always had the slight "fear" that she needs to be in a, not good, but GREAT school. I do believe that Elementary schools do shape who they will become. This is when their minds are still wanting to absorb information and this is when they are still free-spirited. When I was looking into moving, I was trying very had to find a school nearby. My moving was dedicated to a great school district. I came across an apartment complex and found out about this school in their district. Of course, I did my research on the school before I settled on my lease. After reading about studies and reviews on this school, I gave it a chance. Boy, I could NOT be any HAPPIER. She is enrolled in Kindergarten and the transition mid-year for her was GREAT. When I had toured the school and expressed my concerned that she was transferring schools mid-year, they did take everything into account. When she attended her first week, she LOVED it. Her teacher is VERY attentive to all of her students as well as the parents (this is usually not likely). I was able to contact her teacher with any concern(s) I had via email or phone and she was VERY prompt in her response(s). Each child in the classroom was so well-rounded, as in they were go kind to each other. You were able to tell that they were well disciplined at school in order to come home and implement the same mind-set taught to them. The office staff there in the administration part was not too friendly. When I came in, I get it that I was there at 7am when they opened, but that doesn't excuse their behavior towards me. I had the reaction of "oh goodness" from the staff. I gave them the benefit of the doubt since it was really early. When I came in for several other visits, they did treat me with more respect, acknowledging that they had remembered me (*phew). Now that I have gained my "want" in the office, I realized that the school truly does care. This post could be because I'm still a Noobie to the whole parenting idea, and having my child involved in schools, but this school is truly GREAT. I'm a young mom, and I see the potential in this school to mold my daughter to be a great person.

This school has failed my cousin in ways that are absolutely inexcusable. He's a 4th grader who has…read morebeen bullied for over a year -- mocked for his weight, harassed by the same student repeatedly, and pushed to the edge mentally because Central Road Elementary refuses to act meaningfully. The bully, a 5th grader moving to 6th grade, was asked to write an apology -- and all he wrote was: "I'm sorry." The school then claimed this was "sufficient" because "he doesn't have the writing capabilities" to say more. Let me get this straight: You're telling us that a student in fifth grade, who can't even write a basic apology, is being allowed to pass to the next grade level -- instead of getting the intervention he clearly needs? So not only is Central Road failing victims of bullying, it's neglecting the educational needs of the aggressors too. That's two layers of failure. Meanwhile, my cousin -- the victim -- has had to be placed in a full-time, outpatient mental health treatment program, five days a week, because this school refused to protect him. The emotional and financial toll on his family has been immense. If you're a parent, and you care even slightly about your child's emotional safety, academic growth, or mental health -- avoid this school. The administration will ignore warning signs, excuse inadequate behavior, and sweep serious issues under the rug to maintain the illusion that "everything is fine." Nothing is fine. And the longer you leave your kid here, the more damage they might endure.

Pretty sunny in the morning, but perfectly shaded by mature trees along the Salt Creek in the afternoon.

I sent my daughter here for a 4 day drawing camp this summer August 2019. Matilda was 8 years old…read moreand the drawings she did were so nice to see/keep! She also loved the materials and the "studio" (though it seems very cramped to me) The downside for us was instructors style of teaching. She was harsh and not really welcoming or kind. When I tried to speak with her and share my concerns on the second day she made a big speech to me about how important it is making sure the children aren't comparing themselves to one another so they need to be isolated to their own work with no talking to one another. I think in a 4 day summer camp my expectation was more about light-hearted fun than something serious like that. We won't go back for this reason so I can't give it 5 stars. I wish it had gone differently because Matilda's work is really great!

Mount Prospect Child Care is a great daycare. I have two daughters there currently and I can say…read morethat I'm very pleased with the service they provide. I know my daughters are safe, loved and enriched. The teachers are really wonderful! My daughters love going each day and absolutely love their teachers. I have a kindergartener who spends half her day at MPCC and half at Westbrook. The daycare gets her on the bus, and provides enrichment for when she's not attending grade school. The director, Mr. Michael, loves his work and my kids adore him too. We looked at many options for daycare before deciding on MPCC and I'd highly recommend this daycare. We're so happy we found this gem!

My daughter has been attending this center for one year, and is in the toddler room. I'll admit…read morethat originally I didn't think to check out MPCCC because from my view on the train, this place looked small and a little run down. Once it was time to enroll her somewhere, I kept taking issue with aspects of other day care centers and in-home places. My neighbor has lived in this community for over 25 years so I asked her for help. She suggested MPCCC and added, "they are not new, but they are great." She was totally right, they're great. The building itself isn't new or shiny like a modern one, but it's clean, there is TONS to do, and the staff is caring and nurturing. I believe all of the staff are either attending school for their childhood education degrees or they have a degree already. There are senior staff there who have been in this business for decades. They do tons of inventive activities with the toddlers for sensory play, music and dance, group circle games, and crafts crafts crafts. The outdoor play space may not look like much but it's enough to keep even the older kids excited and busy. The teachers have a large treasure trove of art supplies somewhere and they do endless projects relating to holidays, seasons, cultures, etc. There was a holiday concert where each class sang a few songs with the help of a music instructor. Fire department guests have visited, as well as the Northwestern University football team. My daughter loves her teachers and looks forward to being dropped off each day -- it has become her second home. I look forward to her starting preschool here next year and enrolling my infant son.
