The learning environment is serene with its natural approach, and I love how my children's imaginations can take them anywhere at WPSN. The experienced teachers and the professional staff truly care for each child. The studio component and the inclusion of daily outdoor play only adds to the amazing things already happening in the classrooms. The additional enrichment programs are top notch.

Quality of care is phenomenal, the communication is easy and frequent. They're also considerably cheaper than most options in the area, especially for children under 2. If you are looking for early childhood care in the Niles/Morton area you should absolutely check out Mersiha!

Mersiha has been an amazing addition to our family! My daughter has been with her since she was 4…read moremonths. This was my first baby and I was apprehensive about daycare; however, I went through a lot of nannies due to scheduling conflicts. When I went to Mersiha, you could tell she had a love for children and what she did for a living AND carried around a planner to set up dates far out in advance. I love how organized she is and how she interacts with kids. As a pediatric nurse with no family in the area, it was a God send to have Mersiha's family daycare around the corner. She was flexible with my crazy 12 hour shifts. She is very reliable and I have never had issues with having the coverage that I needed. Her prices are very reasonable for the area. Her attention to detail is amazing and she was even willing to support all of my first mom needs. We had an app and she would chart to appease my neurotic nursing nature. She helped me with getting Rhiley on a schedule and would alert me to any issues that were present with our little one. It's amazing how she keeps track of it all. I loved how much fun I could tell Rhiley had from spending a full day with Mersiha and the other kids. You could tell how much they both loved each other. And I loved how big of a smile Rhiley and Mersiha had when they would both see each in the morning or evening. My heart is broken that we are having to relocate but hopefully this is a see you later and not a goodbye. We miss her already and wish that we could take her with us! I highly recommend Mersiha's Family Daycare for any childcare needs that you have in the Bay Area. She is literally THE BEST!

I haven't actually participated in a class here, but I've visited several times for meetings. I've…read morealso toured the building, and I have to say each time I set foot in the front lobby I'm reminded of how spectacular Takiff is... we're talking a first class facility that's as clean as a hospital (in a good way). Takiff is a huge space that consists of a bunch of rooms for classes, for kids to adults, like art, yoga, cooking, enrichment programs, and I think there is even a pottery studio. The gym is oversized for sports activities and events (I don't think they allow food or drink in there). Today I saw how organized their staff is when it comes to managing the many kids coming in and out of the building for day camp. For those thinking of signing up for a program, the team seems to really have their act together. Everyone is lovely and professional. Aside from the various classes and classrooms, GJK is onsite, and I think they also have another Park District preschool. Wiggleworms hosts music classes here too. Though I haven't actually seen the beach rentals, I've seen pictures. Inside there is a more formal room in Takiff with gorgeous windows and high ceilings, fit for a beautiful wedding reception or other formal event. The main level party room with a stage seems like it would be great for kids birthday parties. So much to do and see. I could go on and on, but you'll just need to go check it out for yourself! If you're coming from the north, the turn is a bit tricky, so keep your eyes peeled for the entrance. Parking lot onsite.

From the owner: Glencoe Park District provides year-long recreation opportunities!…read more For over 100 years, Glencoe Park District has been the place for FUN! We provide recreation programs and services for all ages, from toddlers to adults, at three unique facilities: Takiff Center, Watts Center, and Glencoe Beach. The Takiff Center features dynamic recreational program rooms for exercise and health, creative and performing arts, early childhood development, and various sports. Also available are a variety of rental spaces for both large and small events, making the facility a welcoming place for community members to gather. Watts Center is open all year for recreation programs, but during the winter months it features two outdoor refrigerated ice rinks. Generations of Glencoe residents have enjoyed figure skating, hockey, broomball and other ice games at Watts. Glencoe Bathing and Boating Beaches are open during the summer months for swimming, sailing, kayaking, and other water activities.

From the moment we visited the school, I knew it was the right place for our daughter to begin her preschool experience. "Warmth" is how I'd describe the environment at Banner both in appearance and culture. The classrooms are inviting, cozy, and creative. This is a school run by teachers who love what they do and create a warm, positive environment for children to learn, develop and thrive. Our daughter wakes up excited to go to Banner every day which is the best testimonial a parent could offer.

The teachers are great and so caring (my only complaint is that my daughter's favorite teacher resigned). They kept me updated through the app throughout the day. So far I think this is the only daycare I know that serves fresh food (made on site) and my daughter loved it all. The director answered all my emails promptly and was always very clear. The only reason we left is because we moved but if we could stay at tiny forever, we would. I also wished that tuition was a little cheaper, but it was so worth it.
