    Due to the pandemic, we've been able to transition our child from full-time daycare to preschool…read moresince we both work from home. I did a lot of research regarding local preschools, and Child's Play was the clear winner for us! The cost is very affordable (and listed on their website, I believe). Hours are 9am-1pm with some additional before and after care options (offered separately not by the school). Drop-off and pick-up lines are very quick and smooth, especially compared to the stressful situations that I observe at other local preschools. The director is very warm and friendly. The school is faith-based with weekly chapel. COVID policies are either in line or slightly more laidback than other preschools / childcare locally. Children are not required to wear masks at any age. Teachers do not wear masks in the classroom, but some choose to wear masks when aiding the children in and out of cars in the drop-off and pick-up line. I have not personally heard of any COVID cases at the school this school year (2020-2021). I believe children can start as young as 18-24 months and stay until kindergarten. If you choose to hold back your child from K5, note that there is not a K5 transitional program but they can repeat the K4 curriculum. We have been very pleased with Child's Play and would recommend the program to anyone!

    Love sending my child here. The teachers are great, and the kids come home with lots of projects.read more

    My grandson attends Sunshine House Early Learning Academy on Eagle Drive in Woodstock, and our…read morefamily has been very pleased with the care he receives. The directors are professional and are always friendly and welcoming during drop off or pick up times. From the moment you walk into the center, you can tell they care about creating a warm and supportive environment. One of the greatest benefits we've observed at this particular location is the structured daily routine. My grandson thrives on this and it's clear that the teachers and leadership team work hard to provide consistent and meaningful learning experiences. We are very thankful for The Sunshine House Early Learning Academy and as grandparents within a close-knit family, we truly appreciate the care, dedication, and positive atmosphere they provide for our grandson.

    our family had a wonderful experience enrolling my son in the infant class! He was enrolled for a…read morefew months while we waited on a waiting list for a daycare closer to us and we already miss the Sunshine House so much. While my son was there he had a few different teachers in his class for appropriate fill ins, but his main teachers Ms. Madi and Ms. Cindy were absolute angels. All of the teachers were! I never had any worries or complaints and all of the teachers followed our family plan as asked. I always received timely updates on diapering, sleeping, and feeding as well as a lot of photos and videos. I truly appreciate the thorough updates now that I've seen an alternative to be honest - my son's teachers would call to even let me know if he seemed extra irritated or seemed unwell even if he didn't have a fever or obvious signs and i was thankful because i would always go right away to pick him up, even if it wasn't required. Also, Heather, the Asst Director (I think that was her role) was also incredible! She was always such a warm welcome every morning and always made my boy smile! She always informed me of anything going on in the class or with my child (sickness) and also took the time to get to know my sweet babe individually. Needless to say, we love the Sunshine House and would certainly recommend it.

    My children have known no other school throughout their education, and they are thriving at Lyndon…read more Is it always perfect? Nope, but that is not a realistic goal for anything in life. My children don't even know how lucky they are to get daily foreign language classes, an entire staff that knows them by name, on-campus tutoring (if needed), and all the individualized attention they could ever want! As a parent, I'm obviously thrilled with the advanced curriculum, something my children see as the norm because it's all they've known. But just as important is what they DON'T experience: phone distractions, fashion-comparison pressures, classroom behavior disruptions that hinder learning, overcrowded spaces, or the risk of getting lost in the crowd. It makes me so happy that this is the schooling that they get to experience. *I read a review mentioning that funds weren't used for front door safety, but we've actually had a new front door code access system all year!

    If transparency, honesty, accountability and safety are expectations you have in a school for your…read morechildren, Lyndon is probably not what you are looking for in a school. Our family attended for four years (2021-2025) and observed increasing concerns, especially with the administration run by the Murdock family. Key issues of growing concerns included: -High teacher turnover, dismissed by the administration as normal but found to be worse than other schools. -Misuse or unexplained use of fundraiser money, particularly for promised security upgrades that were never completed (e.g., a buzz-in front door system). -Negligence with bullying, where a known student repeatedly bullied others and was only expelled after a serious incident, despite parent complaints. -Lack of leadership accountability, as all administrative roles and the board are filled by family members, leaving no room for independent oversight or appeals. I can't speak to non-returning students and families for other grades, but can say that with many of the parents in our child's grade that nearly HALF (of the now 3rd grade), including their older and younger siblings in other grades, left after the 2024-2025 school year due to these ongoing concerns.
