Parent Reviews
What I like about KinderCare? I like this KinderCare, because of the teachers. I like that the teachers treat the children well and teach the children. I have seen that my son is doing better with his speech and learning. I also like that the teachers worry about the children. They are always checking the children to make sure they are alright and they will give me a note if anything happens. I love how the teachers play with them, sing, and much more.
I have been part of the KinderCare community since I was a child. My mother spent many years as a center director, so naturally, I benefited from the my KinderCare experience. When it came to finding care for my own children I knew KinderCare was the right choice. I have had the opportunity to visit many different centers around the West Chicago area, but could not find one as dedicated to EDUCATING, not just watching, the children. My daughter has a physical disability, so finding someone that would work with us and help her develop in EVERY way was a neccessity. We found it at West Chicago KinderCare.
Four years ago, when I had my first born, I was terrified of the thought of going back to work and having "strangers" watch my child. I went to see multiple day cares and was horrified by some of things I witnessed. I came across KinderCare in West Chicago (which was close to my work) and asked if I could observe the infant classroom to see if I could "catch" anything that would turn me off. I stayed a long time in that room and I saw nothing was done any different from what I would do at home. The room was decorated so cute, like a child's room…and it was clean, which is so important. The infant lead teacher was so nice and answered all my questions...and I asked A LOT of them. I ended up staying much longer then I thought and was welcomed the whole time there. Needless to say, four years later and another child added, I am still a proud KinderCare WC parent and grew to love and respect all the teachers there. But it is not so much about how I feel towards the teachers and daycare, it is when I see my kids running up to teachers to give them hugs "good morning" or "goodbye", THAT'S my reason for staying. KinderCare WC has a great group of directors and teachers that work there. As the years passed, I did loosen up a little as a parent but I am still just as overprotective when it comes to my kids and I still trust KinderCare WC with them. I feel secure and happy my kids are with them. Thanks for helping with one less stress when it comes to helping to raise your kids the right way! :) I could not do it without you.
