This spacious resort is nestled safely among the rolling landscape outside Village proper. My time here was limited to 6 hrs...a mere quarter of a shift. But my first impression when walking inside the living quarters was that it's hella clean. Pros: Kitchen is ginormous, bunks are private, tv can be seen from space. Cons: workout room (only dirty room in the station), lots of radio traffic, strobe in workout room goes off constantly. I can tell these firefighters take their comforts seriously and, for that, I tip my cap. If there's room for improvement, it's the kitchen table and chairs. No wheels, hard plastic...no bueno. Table is super boring & should be replaced by one made by FDC. A station with so many fine things shouldn't accept this atrocity. I'm not planning any future trips to other fire stations. However, if I have to go somewhere, this seems like a good place to land.

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.

I wish I could give zero stars. Truly the worst experience I have ever had with a cleaning service…read more She charged more than three times the largest amount I have ever paid and did by FAR the worst job ever. I contacted Olga after and serious illness with a big family party coming up. From the outset, she focused on making me feel bad that the house wasn't clean, but I had little time and few options at that point. She quoted $35/person/hour and then raised it to $40 after I grudgingly accepted. The crew was 30 minutes late. They took an extended break that she expected me to pay for. She was unable to count, or simply dishonest, and attempted to charge me for an entire hour more than they worked. In all, she charged $510 for an incredibly bad job that included one of three inept crew members falling into one of my walls and marring it to the point of requiring it to be repainted. I could have taken dozens of other photos of dirty places in their aftermath, but they are representative. For $510, any and every spot in the house should have passed the white glove test. I've also never had a cleaning service decide it was OK to park on my lawn. Don't even think of using Olga's Cleaning Services.

Spending a day in Elgin looking for something to do brought us to the Elgin Fire Barn No 5 Museum…read more I don't think I've ever been to a fire barn/house/department museum before, but as museums go this one was done well. It's not very big, but they've packed a bunch of information and displays in. Dale asked if we wanted to wander about ourselves or have a guided tour and we chose guided tour. Between Dale and James I don't think there's anything in the museum they can't tell you about. Everything you ever wanted to know about the history of fighting fires in Elgin. The displays are all very well done and everything is very well taken care of. If you're in the area and looking for an interesting place to spend an hour or two definitely stop by the Fire Barn Museum. If you're not in the area but interested in fire fighting the trip will be worth it.

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.
