Our daughter, who is two and a half, has had an incredible year of growth, particularly in her language development. It truly exploded thanks to the supportive and educational environment at Unity. She has learned ways to express her emotions, like saying "I'm frustrated" when her little sister takes her toys, which has been such a milestone for us. Sometimes we are pleasantly surprised by new phrases/ideas she weaves into conversation and we ask - where did you learn that? "At School!" Unity has also helped her develop independent play skills, which, as a parent, is a dream come true! Eva and the entire staff are fantastic communicators, and I always feel comfortable bringing up any topic with them. (What other school has parent-teacher conferences for two-year-olds?!) We can't wait for our second child to join Unity when she turns two!

My older child was well prepared socially/emotionally and academically for grade school. I love how excited my pre-K child is to share the day's adventures with me. The teachers support curiosity and exploration in the most responsive and creative ways. As a parent with an early childhood education background, I have been thrilled with the quality and care of the experienced teaching staff. The space is so bright and filled with evidence of all the fun the kids are having each day. I also now have the privilege of being part of the collaborative team of teachers. Wonderful director, very special community, would not hesitate to recommend this magical little school!

My kids have gone to the Berkshire KC for almost 8 years. While there have been a few staffing…read morechanges recently for the most part my kids have had the same teachers for years (anyone who uses daycare knows how important it is to not mess with routines). This center is small so there really is no choice but to keep a close eye on everyone. The kids don't get lost in a huge room with tons of teachers (you can only watch so many at once, I don't care what the ratios say). My daughters love their teachers and I feel completely comfortable dropping them off daily. The center director isn't alarmest, meaning I don't get calls just when my kid gets the sniffles (but when she does call I come get them since that means they really are sick).

It's cheaper in the area for a reason. I say cheaper because daycare is not cheap! Compared to…read moreother daycares in the area this was the cheapest I found, and at the time it met our needs. But my child's learning, growth and livelihood as made me change my mind. I'll pay more for peace of mind. Not even when during the registration process that I had to sign off that the facility informed me that they had done their yearly bug spraying, i kept on signing the paperwork. At least they told me they have bugs and took care of them right? No, wait until summer when your child doesn't want to wash their hands in one of the sinks due to ants/bugs going all around it. The highlight of the month is pajama day at this school. No field trips, dance/music class, foreign language...none. The carpet is cleaned yearly, but its very dirty and old. The toys and the play area in the back is very dated as well. The building needs an revamp/update.' My child has allergies and her nose was running year round being in this facility - this has change with the move to her new school. Another reason for pulling my child out was the fact that she would come home and ask me to watch TV show that she had never seen in our home. When I would ask her where she found out about this show, she would state from the phone from one of the teachers. Meaning after awhile, Frozen or Mickey Mouse Playhouse is taking care of my child. The final straw for me was with the food that my child was fed. One day in the stores, my child pointed to ramen noodles and called it chicken noodle soup. I was not understanding why she would do so - upon further probing, she informed me that ramen packets were served in her school and was called Chicken Noodle soup at school. I immediately called and spoke to one of the directors who confirmed this to be so. She informed me that yes they use Ramen Noodles packets, however that don't use the full flavor packets when making it and also add vegetables. I pulled my child out within the next week. I must say that some of the teachers are the highlight and saving grace of this school, as the directors were never really there. With the tools they were provided, the teachers tried (i still don't appreciate the watching of tv on phones). Even when I came earlier than 4 to pick up my child, the few times i did I saw them maybe twice. I can say for the 2 years we were at the school I only saw the two directors may 5 times. My child is now at Children's Land, which just opened literally down the street from One Leap Ahead. Prior to starting my child at One Leap, I was interested in getting her into this school based on the education programs, field trips, menu and cleanliness of the facility - however there was no opening in their Wheeling location. I am so happy that a new site opened right by us. It has been such a great move for our family!

This facility only fell on our radar through word of mouth referral of a phenomenal teacher. The…read morecenter is quietly tucked away just off the noisy hustle of Lake and Milwaukee Avenues. What we found after touring was an entire team of fabulous teachers at One Leap Ahead (OLA). After touring numerous facilities prior to making a decision we decided to go with OLA. In truth I can't say that we saw something wrong in the way the other centers were operated. Many of the sites were newer with more modern amenities. However, what we discovered with OLA set them apart from the others which helped make our choice easier. Our assessment was rooted firmly in the quality of care our child would receive. This is EXACTLY what we found at this site. The first telltale for me in the quality of the program and care was the number of professional families that are educators and in the health care field like myself. The teachers at this center are long-term employees; even assistants have a lengthy history with OLA. The owners and Directors are all former teachers at the center. This all translated to me as a love for the job they perform and it resonates in the way it's operated. Everyone in the facility is CPR certified including the Chef! The teachers are regularly in-serviced and educated in their field. Families supply "community" supplies once a year, keeping tuition competitively low for the area. Most of the items are easily picked up on a Costco or Target run. I have never been asked for another dollar outside of registration and regular tuition. Yet I've received countless projects including, photos, tie-dyed tees and the like throughout the year. No surprise fees! The teachers get even the tiniest fingers and toes involved in art and sensory discovery. I really appreciate the stream of activities to keep my little guy busy and the detailed notes I receive at the end of each day. The teachers keep parents informed on each little milestone reached on their watch; a true blessing for a working mother. They are able to seamlessly accommodate the individual needs of each child yet keep the group intact. While teachers have assigned classrooms they are all cross-trained in the rituals of other age-groups. They have the teamwork-thing down! There is indescribable warmth in this center you feel the moment you walk into the front door. I did not smell soiled nappies or hear background noise of constant crying. I'm not saying that the children don't cry but the frequency and duration are short lived. Children are a priority at OLA and their emotional needs are addressed accordingly. It's comforting to be able to leave your little one with a team of professionals and rest easy knowing he is not only in capable hands but in loving ones as well!

Being a mother you always wonder if the daycare or whomever is going to treat and love your child/children like their own. You always hear crazy stories. But the first time I walked in there, they all made us feel welcomed and safe! So when I had my 3rd child bringing her in at just a few months old was a relief that my newborn will have amazing care just like my older two-sadly, since my daughters are now in school we have to leave. All the teachers and in every classroom are so loving and caring! My girls come home every day telling me how much fun they had and how much they learned. See saw has became a second family to us. Becky, who is the owner, is amazing ! She has always been there for us even at the hardest times of life,like divorce. She's worked with me on so many different occasions no matter how busy she was. All the staff there will have a special place in our hearts! Love all of you at See Saw Daycare Center and thank you for everything you have done for the Burgos family. ***if you're looking for care for your child/children I promise you will NOT find anyone else better than here! :)

Director Amanda is excellent and responsive. My son was in the Pre-K room there and my daughter in the 2s and then Preschool Rooms. Megan is/was the Pre-K teacher and I adored her. She was open and up front with the parents. Which is always appreciated. Paulina was my daughter's teacher for the majority of the time she was there and I miss her. She was sunshine. A couple of things I didn't care for: When we'd pick up the kids (at 4:15) my daughter's preschool class was often mixed in with the Pre-K class. And the same when we'd drop them off in the morning. At those times, I kind of felt like they were never doing anything....always running around playing but not doing anything organized. And by running around playing I mean that it came across as complete chaos sometimes. In the end the school did not offer Kindergarten so that is why we pulled my kids out. The school is pretty new, considering the ages of many of the places around here...so I think in time and when there are more kids there, that the kink I mentioned above may work themselves out.

During this COVID19 pandemic, this center was deemed essential. We are more than grateful and proud of the safety precautions they have taken to ensure our boys are safe and sound and HAPPY. If I can't have the boys home with me, there is no other place I would want them to be than in the care of these talented and loving individuals. To me, they are our family.

The misinformation and negativity on these review sites by various reviewers blows my mind…read moresometimes. This is the only daycare my daughter and son have been to in their entire lives. My daughter is 6 and my son is 4. The teachers at this KinderCare have taken care of them since they were about 6-8 weeks old and have done a great job. My kids love going here and look forward to going, and they are always in a good mood when I pick them up. The educational opportunities here are really great. Both my kids went through the phonics program which helped tremendously. They have done the cooking classes, the science classes, the music classes. There are so many. My kids have had a very stable group of teachers to work with at the facility. One thing that is so great is the public school bus at the nearby elementary school picks up and drops off at this KinderCare. Talk about convenient. And it is nice that my daughter rides the same school bus as the rest of the kids. The directors of this center have a tough job dealing with emotional parents and parents that are slow to pay their tuition for which they have to continually follow up with. We visited 4-5 daycare facilities before settling on this one. We also tried a nanny for a month before deciding that wasn't a fit for us. HANDS DOWN we are very happy we chose this KinderCare for our kids. Not all daycare centers are built the same, and this one is special with great people in it that will take good care of your child.

After a few short months our daughter grew leaps and bounds. There's only one location and the owner is present and actively onsite on a daily basis.
