    I do not recommend this company. They don't know how to properly communicate…read more Never actually go to do business with them due to poor / lack of communication. There's a slight leak in what I believe is called a check valve. I was attempting to get a price to repair. We wanted someone to come out and look at the problem so we could get a quote to repair. After numerous follow up emails, they state they don't come out to review the issue, when they come out, they fix and they price by time and materials, but still no estimated price. Sorry but I'm not having someone come out and do repairs at some unknown cost. Based on the picture, I would think they could give me some ballpark estimate. At this point, I am irritated, I again attempted to get some sort of estimate. Parra, was not very helpful and suggested I contact Kim. Kim was seemingly more helpful, she stated the repair would be pretty simple and provided a sort of estimate. To get a closer number, she asked if there was a shut off valve in the basement, this would determine if they have to refill the sprinkler tank. I took a video and sent it 10 minutes after the call, she said she would review it in the morning. That was two weeks ago. I sent follow up email and follow up text message, no replies. Simply cannot recommend this Company.

    We had Nova Fire Protection add sprinklers to a new construction home in Brookfield. They took us…read moreto collection because we refuse to send out final payment. But hey I will not finish paying until the job passed inspection with the village of Brookfield. They did not even finish adding the sprinkler heads or and finish installing the fire department connection. The permit is still not closed since over a year. I would stay away from doing business with this company!

    As a new mom, there were much guilt that accompanies the role. The biggest of all and a myth IMHO…read moreis that a child thrives best with the mother for its first five years. So it was with a lot of trepidation and questions when I toured childcare facilities around me. With so many by me, and upon the recommendation of neighbors who had lived in the area for a while, The Learning Tree has consistently been the lauded choice. The building was very unassuming, a low-lying ranch nestled between an auto parts place and a furniture store, off a busy street. Inside, while it lacked the fanciness and spaciousness of some facilities, it was clean. It smelled clean (and not in a chemical way), felt clean, looked clean, and continues to be so to this very day. I want my house to be this neat and clean! How do they do it??? I enrolled my child when he was 9 months old, and every day, I continue to marvel at the progress he has made under their care. I honestly can attest that I will not be able to prep him for all the development that he has undergone if he had stayed home with me, or a private caretaker, or an au pair. The teachers and staff are warm, loving, firm, and highly knowledgeable. I have sought them out for advice on numerous occasions. from discipline to teaching/learning. They even helped potty-trained him before he turned 2! Every teacher knows all the children by name, even those whose classes he had not even attended. As I write this during the COVID shelter in place, I am tearing up at the thought that he would not be back with them as this is his last year there. He should be spending fun summers with them, growing even more robustly. I can only take comfort that when this COVID is over, we are still near enough to drop by to visit. Field trips and holiday activities are included in the experience. My son has met Mrs. Claus, the Easter Bunny, fire fighters, librarians. He's been apple picking, visited maple farms, fire stations, libraries, parks. He's had "cooking" lessons. What was enviable among my other parent friends in other suburbs is that my son got an additional enrichment by learning Spanish, which was an option when he turned 4. Plus, at the end of every school year, we received a folder of his progress. That was also unheard of with my friends' children at their daycare. I cannot recommend The Learning Tree enough. I could go on, but I highly suggest you give them a consideration.

    I can't say enough good things about the learning tree the staff is amazing and you can tell the…read moreteachers truly love what they do they are all very attentive and I couldn't think of a more safe place to have my babies! I have two children enrolled a two year old and an almost 6 month old they have an app that they update through out the day and I love that I can open it and see pictures of my kids and see what they're up to and the fact that I can message the teachers throughout the day if I need anything gives me such peace of mind
