I dony recommend this place for children with autism or any other disabilities , they are extremely understaffed and there is not enough help to properly watch your children!!!! My son was thrown out for having autism, he was not given the month everyone else was to fix attendance and refused to work with my child, it's very sad to see a place like this turn into something that doesn't benefit our children.

This not-for-profit, community based organization has been around for over 30 years. It offers…read moremore than 20 programs for the Albany Park community, including: -preschool (also called "Head Start", available in 11 different languages: Spanish, Tagalog, Urdu, Hindi, Bosnian, Bulgarian, Russian, Gujarati, Farsi, Polish, Arabic ) -after school programs -counseling -parenting groups -ESL, GED, and Citizenship assistance for adults -and more... They also have a food pantry for local residents in need. If you would like to donate food or anything else like clothing, books, etc., please contact them. I went to Albany Park Community Center as a kid, for their after school program and extracurricular activities. I commend the center for being so involved in the Albany Park community, which is the 3rd most ethnically diverse neighborhood in the U.S. My family eventually became friends with one of the volunteers there, and we invited her and her family to our family gatherings over the years. They had International Night, where every family brought their own dish. Just think of it as a really big potluck. I had my first taste of kimbap there and was hooked for life! Overall, it's a wonderful community-based organization that offers programs for everyone - young and old.

Both the bahn mi crossiant and the Cà Phê Muối were delicious! I was a little nervous both pronouncing and trying the Cà Phê Muối (due to the salt) but they helped with both in a super non-judgmental way and I'm so glad I ordered it. I'm interested in collaborating with them on a potential community event and they were so open to it! Will definitely be back!

The hojicha with coconut water was surprisingly really good, but make sure to give it a good stir…read morebefore drinking it. The drink comes layered with coconut water filling about half the cup, ice in the middle, and the hojicha poured on top which is why you have to mix it before taking a sip. Once everything is stirred together, the flavors blend beautifully. What I appreciated most was that there was no added sugar. The strong roasted notes of the hojicha really shine through, while the coconut water adds a light, natural sweetness and refreshing finish. The cafe itself was also much larger than I expected. From the outside, it looks fairly modest, but once you walk in, the space stretches far back and feels much more spacious than it appears. There was plenty of seating, and the layout made it feel open without being overly crowded. There are people who would order a drink and hang out with friends or do work on their laptop. You can even play board games here too if you really wanted to. Another cool thing is that there's an outdoor patio area in the back. It serves as a shared space where vendors can set up cookouts and people are able to purchase food while enjoying their drink. There's like a schedule of which vendor comes on which day. It gives the space more of a community gathering feel rather than just a traditional coffee shop. Between the unique drinks, spacious setup, and outdoor food experiences, this spot offers a lot more than your average cafe and is definitely worth checking out if you're in the area.

This establishment is a complete facade. They claim to be a civil rights organization that protects…read moreand defends the Muslim community, but when you come to them bleeding for help with concrete evidence--police reports, body cam footage, and clear proof of civil rights violations by the Skokie Police Department--they completely abandon you. ​My wife is a Muslim, and our civil rights have been violated multiple times. We came to CAIR-Chicago for a bridge of help. Instead of acting immediately, they dragged their feet for literally 5 weeks, only to call us back and casually say, "Oh, we don't do these kinds of cases." Why take over a month to say that? Why build false hope while a family is suffering? This is a fake establishment that hoards community resources and publicity but provides zero actual help to the victims who need it most. ​They speak with deceptive, empty words. I hope Allah evaluates your actions and holds you accountable for the pain you cause families by abandoning them in their time of need. ​To the leadership and staff who run this place, remember the words of Allah in the Quran regarding those who claim righteousness but do the opposite: ​"And of the people are some who say, 'We believe in Allah and the Last Day,' but they are not believers. They [think to] deceive Allah and those who believe, but they deceive not except themselves and perceive [it] not." (Surah Al-Baqarah, 2:8-9) ​And remember His warning to those who turn away from establishing justice and helping the wronged: ​"O you who have believed, be persistently standing firm in justice, witnesses for Allah, even if it be against yourselves or parents and relatives." (Surah An-Nisa, 4:135) ​Shame on you for your five weeks of silence and your ultimate betrayal of a family seeking justice. Allah is the ultimate judge, and He sees exactly what you do behind your closed doors.

With one and soon to be two kids at RC4, we have only positive things to say about this daycare…read more The lead teachers/caregivers are uniformly excellent and well prepared - our daughter has loved each of them as she's grown up there. The rooms are well maintained and well stocked with appropriate toys/activities as is the small playground. The building is clean and functional but not super fancy, as you would expect from being an extension of a community church, but all perfectly appropriate for a daycare. Like most child care in Chicago the price is high but very competitive compared to other facilities in the area. We also love how plugged into the community RC4 is, specifically the weekly farmers market in their parking lot in the summer. Our only quibble is with some of the sick policies that can be more restrictive than the recommendations of local health authorities, but this is a relatively infrequent annoyance. Would absolutely recommend to anyone looking for a daycare!

Sunnyside Mall is a fantastic outdoor community space in the Sheridan Park neighborhood of Uptown…read more I understand it used to be a questionable area, but the neighborhood association has revitalized it in recent years. It's a pedestrian strip between Beacon and Magnolia, paved, with several seats built in various placed around the mall. I'm sure the neighbors use this for all sorts of events. I've been here because my trainer, Dana (see my WHPStudios review), has been doing Saturday morning body strength classes here. Since they're super affordable ($15) I finally made it over here. Today there were just a couple of us but I know in other weekends there's been as many as 10 people at the classes. It's a really lovely, peaceful setting--quiet, with lots of shade from all the trees, and the weather has been great so for someone who doesn't love to work out, it made for a nice morning.
