They fed the kids canned ravioli while other daycares are trying to serve healthier foods. I used to get phone calls all the time stating that I had to pick up my son because he was sick. I would get there and he would be fine. I almost lost my job because of this. Come to find out, the teachers wanted to go home and would call all of the parents. They didn't change the babies diapers. My sons pants were always wet, and, one day I came in to find my son in pink pants because they lost his pants. Seriously??? How do you lose a kids pants when he's wearing them??? It seemed like DCFS was there a lot and oh the lice outbreaks......

My nephew's have attended Young Scholars for 4 years. I've never found a place that I've ever felt…read moreso safe and comfortable sending them. This is my first time with a childcare center, and I can't recommend them enough. The love, care, and time each teacher dedicates to their classrooms shows. The teachers genuinely care for each and every individual kid. This easily became my nephew's home away home. They support them and communicate with you. It may seem expensive, but with all the field trips they plan, its crazy worth it. Plus, the pick up process is super secure. Everyone in and out needs ID. You won't regret sending your child here!!

The lifeguards then laughably over-police the tiny space. (think Jim Carrey in SNL over-policing the hot tub) The basketball hoop set up makes no sense. Hoops mismatched and courts mis-aligned. Absolute waste of time to visit this location.

We cannot believe the significant difference in his growth and development in the course of a month! Cecil, Lisa and Leza are all amazing and treat each child as their own. We receive daily reports, pictures and updates documenting his process as well as being able to see his new skills at home on a daily basis! He was previously not talking and now he makes animal noises and started saying words. Our family is so happy with this establishment and its wonderful staff. We highly recommend Learn & Grow to other families in the area!

I really can't say enough about this place. My daughter has been coming here for over 2 years and I…read morecan't express my gratitude enough to the teachers and directors in this place. Hats off to all of them, forgive me if I forget any names, Ashley, Lisa, Mary Beth, Carlene and everyone who has made my daughter feel like at home when she is there. I have to say that leaving Serendipity is bittersweet, my daughter made some very good friends with some of the kids.. She learned so much, such an amazing program and teachers do love those kids.. They are so passionate about what they do... If I could keep my daughter forever there I could.. It's worth every dime. Thank you for everything you all did with my daughter.. I am extremely grateful for all of you there.
