Parent Reviews
One word to sum up Oak Forest KinderCare is the word "Family". I have entrusted this facility with my children for over six years and there is no place I'd rather take them everyday. This center has been the foundation for my children to transition into school with the tools to help them start on their journey. Throughout the years, the center has grown with each child. The experiences that they create are both unforgettable and memorable because the teachers treat my children and me like their own.
Just a note to say how well I'm pleased with a member of your staff; Ms. Susie. I'm a foster mom with a child that has special needs. She is so caring and takes the time needed for him. He loves her so mcuh, I trust her with my boy and I don't trust everyone with him because he is a handful. He has grown so much! I love your staff, they go the extra mile for my son. It takes him a little longer to catch on but with Ms. Susie's help he gets it. They help him fit in with the class.
My children are my everything and I want the best for them. I put my children at KinderCare because I knew my children will be in good hands. Although they have been with KC for a short while, I have seen academic growth in my 3 year old daughter. She is very excited about learning and very proud of the work that she does in her class. My 1 year old son had a rough start; however, he warmed up quickly! He enjoys being at school now and he cries when it's time to go home.
