The teachers are so kind and caring, you can tell that they really enjoy their job, the kids and the families as well. The app is great for real-time updates and worry free days for any new parent, this was a huge bonus for us! Plus the teachers capture some really great moments during the day with our child when we cannot be with them. We were a bit nervous because there were a lot of leadership changes from the time we signed up until the time our son started but it has all been great improvements to the facility. We are very happy with our choice.

He and his classmates always seem to be having such a fun time, the teachers and staff are so warm and engaging and super friendly. The meals and snacks that are provided are a combination of healthy and balanced, however serving it to toddlers, one has to dress it up as kid friendly food. Toddlers aren't foodies and the staff are not gourmet chefs, but the food is healthy and tasty and more importantly the kids like it and EAT it. When I babysit my grandson, he actually doesn't sit and eat, he grazes will only eat a hot dog, ( or at least only a few bites of it) or mac and cheese and will only take 2 bites and be full. At Hometown however the teacher tells me that he eats all of his food and usually asks for more! The PreK program he is in provides him with all the learning he needs and is very structured. All the kids seem to really enjoy each other and the classroom. The teachers and staff are safety conscience and truly seem to enjoy being there as do the kids. I only wish I could have given my children at the time a day care as awesome as Hometown. Back in the day, my children went to daycare that was average, today's kids are lucky and even luckier if they go to Hometown.

From the very beginning, the teachers and staff have been incredibly attentive, caring, observant, and genuinely invested in Kamden's growth and development. Their attentiveness and keen observation gave us great peace of mind and played an important role in ensuring Kamden received timely medical attention. We will always be deeply grateful for the compassion, support, and dedication they have shown our family. Throughout everything we've experienced, Childtime has continued to support us with kindness, understanding, and encouragement. Kamden absolutely loves coming to school each day, and it's clear how much he enjoys his teachers and friends. The trust we have in the staff is invaluable, and we know Kamden is in loving, capable hands every day. We are truly appreciative of everything Childtime has done for our family.

Where does one begin a stupid online review when a teacher physically assaults your child? It's…read morehardly a means of retribution, but there are other avenues being pursued to that extent. I make this review more as a warning to the other parents who send their children to Chesterbrook. My wife and I had enough issues dealing with the "educators" at Chesterbrook when our child came home with a head injury or covered in human feces - but if you batter our child, you have started something you cannot stop. Perhaps other parents reading this will feel the same way. To be sure, we are in no way 'helicopter parents' and believe in discipline. But, there is, of course discipline and abuse, and this crossed the line. Our son became scared and hesitant to attend Chesterbrook, and would tell us approx. a week later about this incident. Upon hearing this, we met with the "principal" - who showed us the video of the "teacher" being physical with our child. Oddly enough, the principal agreed that the contact was inappropriate and that steps would be taken to remedy the situation. Upon picking up our child a mere three hours later, we were told that the principal had been fired. Following that, in an act of retaliation, we were told that our child was moved to a class of children two years younger than him. When we met with the district manager (or whatever she claimed to be), she not only admitted that she had never video and laughed in our face while we met with her. Completely unprofessional and indicative of somebody who cannot handle their job responsibilities, much less have some control over the well being of children. I could (and would like to) name the relevant individuals, but that will only serve to have this post removed. Nevertheless, those responsible will be held responsible in court. But, my advice - ask questions and get your child out of Chesterbrook asap.

A few months ago, we were looking for a new place to send our children. I had really had it with all of the changes in staff and leadership at the school. I really loved the teachers when we first started but the atmosphere had changed and the teachers were very unhappy. I was beginning to see that it was hurting my children's experience at school. Right before we were leaving Chesterbrook, there was announcement that a new principal (Jen) would be transferring from the Plainfield Chesterbrook. I've never seen a school turn around so quickly (and I have worked in education for 15 years myself). I noticed an immediate change in teacher morale, cleanliness of the school and communication with parents. Because of the changes, we decided to stay. Jen sets high expectations for her teachers and is a great communicator. The teachers seem happy and the kids also seem much happier. Jen has also led new changes such as getting organic milk into the school, ordering new furniture and adding new learning materials. I hope the school continues to make these amazing improvements. As for the curriculum, my 4 year old just read her first book last night, teaches me words in Spanish, can add and subtract and talks about all of the "cool things Ms. Becca teaches her" at dinner each night. My kids are safe, appreciated and have a lot of fun at school. I'm not sure I can ask for much more!

Our Son continues to learn so much daily and frequently does not want to leave when we come to pick him up as there are so many fun things for the kids to experience (crafts, various toys, activities, etc). The Teachers are wonderful and genuinely excited to see the kids each day! Also, Ms. Deb, the chef, is wonderful and it always smells delicious when she is cooking for the children! Thank you to everyone at The Goddard School St. Charles you're doing a wonderful job and have made many families immensely comfortable and happy.

I strongly and unequivocally disagree with the statement provided by the school. As a parent, my…read moreconcern is not only valid but supported by the seriousness of what occurred. This matter was significant enough to warrant involvement from DCFS, and a formal case was opened and documented as a violation. That alone directly contradicts any attempt to minimize or dismiss the situation. The claim that there is a "zero-tolerance policy" and that all children are consistently kept in a safe and nurturing environment does not align with my child's experience or the outcome of the investigation. Policies are only meaningful when they are properly enforced, and in this instance, there was a clear failure to uphold the standards that are being publicly promoted. I find it deeply concerning that the response avoids accountability and instead attempts to deflect by not addressing key details. As a parent, I trusted this facility with my child's safety, and that trust was compromised. The fact that this resulted in a documented DCFS violation speaks for itself. I am sharing this not to engage in conflict, but to ensure transparency and to emphasize that this situation was real, serious, and formally recognized by the appropriate authorities. Parents deserve full honesty when it comes to the safety and well-being of their children. CITATION- 407100A3 & 407100A10
