    Choosing a provider is a hard task. We want to trust someone to provide the level of care we…read moreprovide at home. With all of the stories we see on the Internet, our guards instantly go up to protect our little ones. From the moment we attended the open house, we knew this was the right place for our son. The teachers took time to engage with us while giving a tour of the facility. With the pandemic, we were still hesitant on a start date. After sharing my concerns, the Director assured us of the safety protocols in place and let me know when I was ready, they would be ready! Fast forward to now. Our son has been attending since October 2020 and his development has been a pleasure to watch. There's a few interactions that have stood out for me. First, there was a day when my son was fussy and didn't want to enter the classroom. After some coaxing, he proceeded over the threshold with his teacher. I was entering my car and noticed he was still crying. Within seconds, his teacher picked him up and gave him cuddles to soothe him and stop crying. At a previous center, they would let me cry it out. This warmed my heart. The second good observation was just a week ago. I was approached by his teacher encouraging me to move him to full-time care because she noticed signs of regression. We, yes WE, discussed next steps and how we could make this an easy transition for him. Part of the challenge is he's not fully potty trained, but they work with him daily to get him there. If you're looking for a place to send your little one, look no further. Your child will be cared for and prepared for kindergarten. You will be treated like family here. Oh...and one other thing...the weekly newsletters are adorbs! You get to see the littles playing together and read about what they're working on for the week. It's a great way to provide reinforcement at home. Something else...I love the app! You get notifications with your child's activity and pics. Look no further! TLE-Elgin is the place!

    I want to start off saying my oldest has been going to "Kindercare " since he was a baby I moved to…read moreElgin and moved him to this one about two years ago .. At first I loved it my sons enjoyed going . You entered the building it was very welcoming, teachers looked like they loved being there . now my two sons were attending that I removed from this center due to cleanliness, Short staffed , curriculum not being done , they no longer where learning and this center is "NAEYC" so very disappointed! there were just playing all day . Breakfast/Lunch food still left on the floor or table past nap time Bathrooms with pee on them not being clean properly. My son started crying saying he doesn't want to go to school , voicing to me that he was scared . Started not to go in , giving me a harder time then he usual , It was no longer doing any good for my kids. Overall I was disappointed :( it was a good daycare at the beginning They are now an a different center (not Kindercare ) and both of them are expanding there vocabulary, learning a lot of new things . Meeting new friends , they have a routine there loving it. & they are no longer scared. Now all of us are much happier :)

I was a SAHM for 8 months before I started working. I will say this is a GREAT choice! Not only is the director a mom but also amazing and my daughter LOVES everyone there! Of course she has got bit once but that's kids at that age! It happens! Once or twice in there life time! If you are looking for a caring program with great teachers and a parent to teacher relationship this is the center! I still call once a day to check on my daughter and they go in the room and see how she is doing right then and the director emails me back right away! We couldn't have chose a better place to place my daughter! The toddler teachers are amazing and so creative as well! My daughter is learning so much and they are always doing activities to expend her mind! Def go in for a tour! -Allison

    We brought our 1 year old in for a tour and was told he would be a great fit. I was given the…read morepaperwork to fill out and received a call the next day that the director wanted to talk to us. Before the tour I had spoken to them and told them that my son was in speech therapy. They were aware and said this wouldn't be a problem. When we came in to go through the paperwork the director told me that my son would not do well at their school and that he would need one on one care that they couldn't give, therefore he would "slip through the cracks". After observing him for 5-10 minutes she stated that she believes he is autistic and his mannerisms were all things that a child with autism demonstrates. She went on to give me pamphlets of places for him to get tested and schools for children with autism diagnosis. I let her know that the pediatrician had never once had a concern for autism and that he just had the speech delay. I left crying and embarrassed by the way we were treated. My son now goes to a new school and is thriving. He talks all the time and again has not been diagnosed with autism. I would never recommend this school to anyone. I believe they only want certain children and families who will boost the image of the school.

    I waited for a bit before posting a review and make sure I'm not overreacting. I have a lot more to…read moresay, but I'm sure no one wants a novel. At first, Goddard was great. But as soon as my son hit pre-k, we ran into a lot of problems and I'm noticing a trend within these negative reviews that I really wish we saw a while ago and made a switch sooner. If your child is laid back, listens well, and you are wanting something more academically inclined, sure, this is for you. I gave 2 stars because they are good with academics and there is an employee that genuinely seems to care about the kids. I'll give them that. But if your child is your typical active kid (gasp! Unheard of!) - go elsewhere. They seem confused on normal, active 4 year old behaviors. Save yourself MULTIPLE sleepless nights, tears, and paranoia that something is wrong with you and your child. If there's a "incident," brace yourself. You will get calls, meetings. At the end, you may get 4 stories and a piece of paper (no joke - that happened). So, you don't really know the truth of what REALLY happened. You will get a call from the co-owner (I'm sure you see her name pop up in these reviews) and get pulled into unplanned meetings when you're there to just pick up your kid after a long day of work. A long meeting before a phone meeting later, if you will. Just to hear how your kid is overwhelming or unusual and list of "symptoms" to have you name what it could be. (By the way, my son is normal and fine according to the ACTUAL experts. Talk to the professionals before taking action based on what the co-owner says.) In short, you will be chased out. That is her tactic. Your child will sense it and act up even more. Mine surely did. After we pulled him and moved him elsewhere - it was like an instant relief. He's doing so much better at the other daycare facility. We actually ran into another former Goddard student and parent - SAME STORY. Read these reviews on a PC - you will see more of them with similar trend. I also want to add that the co-owner has drop another child's name to me. My son would get riled up with another student. I knew this and I didn't think it was much a problem, but she outwardly said, "we will be talking to the Parents about [child's name] bad behavior." I thought that was unprofessional and inappropriate to discuss other children BY NAME to another parent. Makes me wonder what was said about my son and other children.

    Oh Primrose- where to even begin? I will start with my biggest regret- not having my children…read moreenrolled here sooner. This is a school. This is not a glorified daycare. This is absolutely an environment that fosters learning, growth, creativity, and critical thinking skills. Our oldest child went through the private Kindergarten at Primrose and the impact this singular decision will have on his future far exceeds anything we could have hoped for. He got more than a foundation at Primrose- he got a solid education and a skillset that will have a lifelong influence. Upon graduating from the Primrose private kindergarten program, he went on to public school where he is in their kindergarten (we didn't want to push him ahead to 1st grade as we wanted the transition to elementary school to be easier on him). We have learned that he is not at a kindergarten reading level- he is at a SECOND GRADE reading level! Not only that, but we have been informed that of the 10 children that graduated from Primrose last year (either from the pre-K or Kindergarten program) and then went on to attend our same public elementary school, ALL TEN children are above grade level for reading. They are advanced enough that they are having to be pulled from their regular classroom reading time to work with a teacher that can teach them phonics/reading at the level these children are already at. There are only 2 non-Primrose children in their elementary school that are also being pulled for advanced phonics/reading skills. Furthermore, we have been informed that our son is also advanced in his math skills, and he will be pulled from his regular kindergarten math coursework to focus on more challenging math curriculum that more closely meet him where his skills lie. Now I would LOVE to take credit for his achievements. I would love to tell you that mom and dad taught him all that he knows. But that would be dishonest of me. We owe all of this development to Primrose- to the curriculum that they employ, to the safe and nurturing environment that they provide, and especially to the teachers and staff that work day and night to give these children a head start in life. I cannot say enough positive things about our experience at Primrose- they go above and beyond for their students and the community in everyway possible. THANK YOU PRIMROSE!

    My daughter has been attending Primrose South Elgin for 7 years. The owners and staff here are…read moreabsolutely amazing and always act with integrity. As a parent I feel confident dropping my daughter off here every morning and feel lucky to have been able to have her here for so long. They have a wonderful curriculum for younger children and a great summer camp program.

It was important for me to do the research all the schools and even talk to parents that had children in the school before I could make a good choice. There are a number of preschool options in this area, including public, Christian, and places like KinderCare. None of these options provided optimal class sizes, and through my investigation I came to see that the methods developed by Dr. Maria Montessori were critical to the development young children. I was thrilled to find Children's House Montessori School where my children received specialized made-for-them scholastic development. While my children are both still very young, other parents with children that have gone through Children's House Montessori School explain that children leave with above average skills and the confidence to use them. Very grateful for the school, program, and exceptional teachers that love their work and their students.
