Parent Reviews
We enrolled our son in South Loop KinderCare when he was three months old. We have always been amazed at his connection with his teachers, at his closeness with his peers, and especially at how much he has learned! Our second child was born with Downs Syndrome. After our experience with our son and speaking with the center director, we were sure South Loop KinderCare would be the right choice for her as well. It truly has been. We have been thrilled with the relationships she has developed with her teachers and grateful for all of the support they give her development. We couldn't be happier with our choice to send our children to KinderCare.
We enrolled our daughter Emma at 3 months in 2006. Her experience at KinderCare was nothing short of amazing. She had fantastic teachers along the way and her academic achievements at KinderCare allowed her (and several of her classmates) to test into a selective enrollment schools here in Chicago. We were so pleased with the success of her early childhood development that we enrolled our son Maddon when he was 3 months in 2011. His experience has been just as amazing and has even had many of the same teachers that Emma previously did. Thank you KinderCare for being an important part of our children’s educational and social development.
It is hard to put into words how wonderful this center is. I am a pediatric nurse who sees how accidents happen on a daily basis. So when I had my first child, the idea of sending her to be cared for by others was terrifying to me. However, from the moment I walked into this center on my first tour, I knew it would be a great fit. As soon as we walked into the classroom, the children ran up calling him name and hugging him. As a mother, to see this response to the assistant director who doesn’t spend the whole day with the children showed me what a warm and caring environment this is. That, amongst other positive experiences on the tour convinced me to sign her up that day. She started attending KinderCare in January 2013 and I haven’t looked back since. My second daughter now attends and I could not put into words how much I love having her there. There are so many things I could say about KinderCare, but this would be a novel if I did. The most important thing I can say is I truly feel my daughter is cared for in a safe, nurturing, clean environment with people who are in her words “my best friends.”
