    If I personally could give the childcare facility 0 stars, I would. When you send your child to…read moredaycare, you are trusting strangers to care for your child, but have great hope that the child care facility has done an in-depth review of the teachers they hire to care for your little ones. On 3/15/23 Ms. Janet (one of the teachers currently employed at Kiddie Academy) decided to twist my son's ear, because he and several of the other children were running around during nap time. However, I did not become aware that something had transpired until Thursday morning, when my son became distraught, crying and falling out because he did not want to go in the class with the teacher. Not understanding the full extent of what happened and believing what Ms. Luisa (the Director) shared about the kids running around during nap time and a teacher yelling into the classroom on 3/15/23, he attended daycare on 3/16/23. When he got home on 3/16/23 he had bruises on his left leg that resembled a hand print. Upon seeing the bruises, my son's father and I met with the Director to share our concerns. At no time were we offered the ability to view the video of the classroom on 3/15/23 to fully understand what transpired, nor were we able to see what happened on 3/16/23 that caused the bruises on my son's legs. To-date the only option offered was an apology and forgoing paying the 4 week cancellation fee. Ms. Janet is still employed at the facility and no additional action had been taken. As I am still exploring my personal options on how I'd liked to proceed in this particular situation, I thought it best at a minimum to post a review to hopefully help another parent avoid a similar situation.

I remember all my sibling's and I would come home with fun arts and crafts! They gave us an opportunity to grow. My cousin now comes here he always shares the fun things he did and whenever I pick him up he has the biggest smile on his face they make everyone feel special and proud of who they are they gave me the best experience I could ever ask for!

I had issues with the cleaniness, introverted teachers toward parents, and the drives were longer than I wanted. August 2017 I heard from my sister to try out Barrington Community Childcare Center. I had a tour, I spoke with Mrs. Terri and the infant room teachers and I instantly felt welcomed, safe, and pleased with the place so I instantly signed her up and she began her journey at BCCC at 15 months old. Beyond words these kind, loving, and compassionate teachers and assistant teachers have helped my daughter prepare and enjoy school so easily that she is excited to be in Pre-K and she is so smart I owe it all the Mrs. Terri and her teachers. If you are a single mom, a stay at home mom/dad trying to find a place for your child so you can go back to work, or parents concerned of the place your childs at now and do not feel like you can trust any place again, I recommend BCCC in Barrington. I been there for so long they are my daughters second family. She loves her new school but tells me she will go back to BCCC this summer. "You got it Airianna, you already miss them don't you?" Terri, Jean, Erin, Brianne, Samantha, Julie, Anna, Ashley, Lisa, Tatianna, Shabria, Melinda, Thank you for everything you have done for myself and Airianna. Would 10000000% recommend BCCC for any family!

    Terri and the teachers are caring and compassionate. My wife and I are so happy we send our son…read morehere.

    My family is very grateful to have found this place, especially after our current daycare gave us…read moreonly a 2-week notice that they were closing their doors for good. Little Minds is a hidden gem conveniently located near the Crystal Lake/Pingree Road Metra stop. Only having been open for a few months, the place is clean, spacious, and welcoming all throughout. The teachers are nurturing, knowledgeable and accommodating (except for one elderly woman who is cold and never greets my family - thankfully NOT in my son's classroom) to my 2-year-old's mood changing needs. The director has been very flexible with our family when we decided to change our schedule. My husband and I like that there is an indoor play area (i.e., slides, ride on toys, etc.) for those extreme weather days. I also like how one of the teachers incorporates a baking/cooking lesson daily with the students. The only TEMPORARY downside is, because this daycare is new, the enrollment is low. My family has very HIGH hopes that Little Minds will grow in the next few months with more exposure. We literally pass a "big shot" daycare, that is 5 minutes from our home, to get here, and you couldn't pay our family to go to that one! If you are in search for a new daycare in the Crystal Lake and surrounding area, come check this place out!

    Putting your child in daycare is stressful, especially at 6 weeks old! After looking at all my…read moreoptions in McHenry county, I found Little Minds in Crystal Lake. I went in and met Nicole while I was still pregnant. I took a tour of the center and it was awesome. Everything was so clean and new! They also have cameras in each room which was reassuring. My son started there right at 6 weeks old and always comes home happy. I peek in on him during the day and he is always being tended to. I would highly recommend this daycare center to anyone in the area looking. It's also better priced than most!

    Posting this because if this was my child I would want to know…read more On 2/7/24 at 8:30 I dropped off my girls at daycare around 8:30 am. It was breakfast time. The teachers in my daughter charrlottes room were Paige and Barb. These were the series of questions I asked them. 1. Do you know where charrlottes water bottle is? "I don't know, it's probably in the kitchen being washed" I went to the kitchen and was able to locate her water bottle. When I came back to the class room I Filled it with water and gave it to her. My daughter was sitting down at the table with 12 other 2 year olds. Total 13 kids. 9 of those 13 kids were served food. The other 4 (including my daughter) were not. They were all hungry the kids that had food wanted more and the kids that didn't have food wanted food. The teachers kept telling them to use their manners but I didn't understand why. Kids were so hungry they were licking their plate and the applesauce off the table. One child was even eating applesauce with her fingers because they didn't or "forgot" to give her a spoon. 2. I asked something along the lines, are you going to feed the other kids? "We are waiting for more plates, we called the kitchen and the front no one answered." I got up went to the kitchen and grabbed plates so our kids could eat. Please note Paige said, "thank you, you should be hired" 3. Is that all the food they get? "Yes, said Barb" 4. Are you going to give them something to drink? "We are working on it." The kids finished their food before they were given a drink. 5. Are you going to put cream cheese on their bagel? (I could see the cream cheese sitting on the table) "Paige said they were waiting on a knife" "No, I don't put cream cheese because they will just eat the cream cheese and not eat the bagel, said barb" I was by the table squatting down by Charrlotte and I got up to go by the cream cheese and asked 6. Can you put cream cheese on my daughter's bagel? That's when Barb told me I need to leave now. I walked out and went to the front to get someone. I was very upset. I tried to get Jill but she was busy getting kids on the bus. I tried to get Stacy but she was talking to a parent. Then I saw Ed the owner walk through the door and told him I needed him in suite 650. He said I don't know who you are. I told him I'm Charrlotte and calis mom. His response was, "okay I don't need to go in there is this is not the right place for you, you can leave on Friday, okay, I know your notes, we're doing everything we can, so you can leave on Friday, if this is not the right place for you." I said it's how your teachers are handling things in there. He said "I'm sure you let Stacy know" I said no I didn't. This just all happened right now. They just told me to get out of the classroom. What are they doing wrong? ed said. I started to tell him, told him I grabbed plates and he told me to stay out of the kitchen and that I'm over reacting. He told me again I can leave Friday I told him I was leaving today and took my kids. As a parent we have a right to ask questions. It's too bad Barb didn't like my questions, her responses were unacceptable to me and I was the voice today for all those kiddos that weren't served breakfast properly according to DCFS licensing standards. A report has been made. Ed has proven to me that he can care less about any parents concerns and his attitude is if you don't like it you can leave. I've sent numerous emails including Ed and not once has he replied or chimed in. He hides behind Cheryl and Stacey. He was not compassionate and very dismissive. And that is the reason I pulled my kids. He is the face of the center and how he handled my concern for the kids in his center went ignored.

    The management is terrible. 99% of them just want to get their paycheck and go home…read more I'm only typing this part because I have to put 85 characters in before I can post it.

They provide a healthy breakfast and lunch everyday for the kids. The director was beyond helpful and communicated with us throughout the transition. She was flexible and so welcoming. My daughters teachers are so incredibly sweet and made the transition for her so much smoother than I could have ever hoped for. I love getting daily photos and updates on my daughter and knowing what they are teaching her. They always have fun activities going on and get families involved. If I could give this school 6 stars, I would.

    We've been sending our kids to Goddard School in Cary for two years and we couldn't be more happy!…read moreWe are very glad we found Goddard in Cary. The owner, directors, and teachers are second to none. They are all absolutely amazing. Not only is Goddard a daycare but it's also intended for early childhood development. There is no doubt our kids are ahead of the educational curve for their age and Goddard has definitely played a part in that! We feel completely comfortable leaving our kids with the Goddard staff every day. There is not one employee at Goddard we don't approve of. Many of the teachers at Goddard have studied early education/childhood development, and it shows! Our kids have loved every teacher they've had and they look forward to going every day! As with any daycare there is going to be a cost. Goddard hasn't raised their prices since we've been there. They do everything in their power to keep costs down. Anyway, Goddard is hands down the best daycare we could imagine and we look forward to the time we have left at Goddard!
