I can message on the app or call and get an answer to a question very quickly. -my daughter has never had diaper rash and is changed timely. -the teachers are thoughtful and plan activities and lessons for the kids daily; a lot of heart goes into what they do with the kids. -my daughter is already learning potty training practices at two years old because of the time and patience the teachers take with her.

I was worried about the transition from in-home care to a daycare setting, but my boys quickly fell in love with their teachers, their playmates and the structure of their day. My youngest son is special needs, and I was particularly concerned about how he would adapt. Kelly and her staff were happy to put him in a group that better matched his physical and social abilities. His room leads worked with him regularly on the exercises and activities recommended by his many, many therapists to help him make progress, which was over and above what I expected. I also appreciated the "extra" fun events (like pajama day) and curriculum-focused schedule. I feel like my younger kids learned new things every day, coming home singing songs and sharing artwork, activities and new information. We would definitely return! Shout out to Ms Kelly, the Director, and her staff for creating such a loving, inclusive environment.

He loves the staff and is always smiling when we pick him up. The daycare workers are very friendly and engaging and he seems to love them. The hours are of operation are great (open to 6:30 instead of 6) and the rooms are very clean compared to other places we toured. They are also very flexible in scheduling, we have consistent days but can add an extra if needed. If you are looking for daycare I would definitely recommend going here!

I would suggest considering this place for your children but would also recommend you do all the necessary research.

Thanks to Bright Horizons, our kids are away from TV all day and instead being exposed to new things and learning with other kids. * The kids make their first friends and begin learning social and relational skills. The exposure, teaching, and skills development is more than we could ever give them at home each day. * When our oldest entered our local public school in Lake Zurich, he was off the charts with his reading and completely prepared for everything Kindergarten threw his way. * Our youngest has been there since he was a few months old. We're very pleased with the well-rounded development he's receiving. * The staff and teachers honestly care and get to know every child. * They also feed the children well. Sometimes I wonder if they eat better there than at our own home (they'll eat their vegetables there!). It's not just an expense, it's an investment in your child and for us it's been worth every penny.

I want to start off by saying thank you to our current Center Director, Angelica. She has been an…read moreamazing advocate for this center and its community. Recently, a message was sent to me encouraging me to leave this center with my children. The false accusations made were absolutely disgusting and concerning. My daughter has been attending this center since she was an infant and will soon move up to the two-year-old classroom. I admit I previously felt uneasy regarding the teachers in that specific classroom; however, since the individual who sent out that message has been fired along with another employee, I feel much more comfortable and confident about my daughter moving up. I want to encourage other parents to see the center for themselves. This facility is much more than what a bitter person who was fired for their own actions has to say about it. False accusations are not the way to handle these situations.

We were at this center for nearly five years with two kids. We probably stayed too long, mainly…read morebecause a few teachers genuinely loved our children and made it worth it. But over time, things just kept getting worse. I highly recommend you do not trust this center with your children. We experienced bottles and naps being skipped in the baby room, three-year-olds told they couldn't play outside because they couldn't zip their own jackets, and constant leadership changes. They have had at least four directors in 5 years, and no director at all for the last year. At one point, we raised concerns about our baby not being fed, and the regional director told us we should maybe find another center. We should have listened. The assistant director left in charge the last year has allowed things that really shouldn't happen in a daycare. She brought bleach into classrooms (so strong the smell burned your eyes and stained kids clothes), changed the menu to suit her own kids (cereal and crackers EVERY DAY, let teachers take the daycare bus for coffee, and had her husband and older children hanging around the office all day during the summer. One day she left and put the cook and a teacher who had multiple complaints against her in charge of the entire center. The final straw came when we learned a weed vape had been found under a toddler's cot a few months ago. The teacher responsible is still working there and was even moved to the infant room. She made comments about not wanting to work with kids and joked about hitting one. When parents raised concerns, regional director Phebe either gaslight them, dismissed them, minimized them, or lied. Meanwhile, two teachers who repeatedly spoke up about these issues, making sure everyone in Kindercare leadership knew, even above the regional director, were recently fired. While the girl who brought drug paraphernalia and threatened to hit a 2 year old still employed working with infants none the less. Their dismissal looks like a clear case of retaliation if I ever saw one (in my many years in HR....) There are other serious concerns too: kids were apparently checked in who weren't actually at the center who get government assistance, and with all of this mismanagement, it wouldn't surprise me if the center comes under investigation soon. We recently moved our kids to a center down the street. The difference is amazing. There's a real curriculum, staff actually engage with the children, meals aren't just crackers, and the kids come home happy, not stressed and anxious. Leaving was hard because of the teachers our kids loved, but it was absolutely the right choice. I only regret not doing it sooner. I would not recommend this center. I would recommend you take your children ANYWHERE ELSE. There are serious safety issues, leadership failures, and disregard for the children's safety and well-being, and the regional director is an absolute joke. There is no trust and no hope for change.

We briefly switched her to a…read moredifferent location that was closer to home and it only took us 2 weeks to realize how truly special Elk Grove is. (If I'm being honest, we realized it day one but I waited 2 weeks before reaching back out to request re-enrollment!) The teachers at the Elk Grove location truly make my family feel loved, cared for, and they've essentially become an extension of our family. My daughter's current AND former teacher both babysit her outside of work hours and I'm so thankful that we have a loving school for my little one. Without a different perspective, it can be easy to take things for granted. For example, all of the outside activities, dress up days, arts and crafts and overall fun activities that bring our kids joy is NOT status quo at other Kindercare locations. Elk Grove is special and we couldn't feel more relieved or happier to have returned back! A special shoutout to to: Miss Marti, Miss Mischa, Miss Becky, Miss Kim, Miss Amanda, and Miss Riley for loving my little one so much!!! Thank you for welcoming us back home!

From the moment we enrolled, I could see how much the staff truly cares about the children. The environment is warm, welcoming, and filled with love and attention. I enrolled my daughter during Covid--- probably one on the scariest moments we experienced collectively, in this world. However I was greeted, at CCLC in a way that reassured me that "Everything would be alright". Fast forward to today... five years later, we have 2 children enrolled and the experience is the same! CCLC is our family. They are the village every family needs. The teachers are not only professional but also passionate about their work. They create a balance of learning, fun, and exploration through age-appropriate activities that encourage development, both socially and academically. I love seeing the progress my children have made, from learning new words to building important friendships with peers. What I appreciate most is the clear communication from the staff. They keep me updated on my children's day, whether it's a milestone they've reached, a challenge they've faced, or just a note about how their day went. This level of care and transparency reassures me that my child is in great hands. I highly recommend CCLC to any parent looking for a safe, nurturing, and enriching environment for their child(ren). It's truly a place where children thrive, and I'm so thankful for the wonderful team who helps my child grow each day."
