They notified us during his last drive that they misplaced all of his paperwork. We spent several days putting the documents together a second time. After waiting a few weeks for the driving school to get their paperwork filed properly we went to the DMV for his license - only to find out Drive Home Safe had not sent a letter of completion to the Secretary of States office. Seriously?! How much time does to take to put a student's file in order and follow through? Have they not heard of a checklist?? I'm tired of saying to my disappointed son ... We'll try again in a few weeks. That being said, according to my son, one or two driving instructors were funny, and the class was tolerable not too boring.

He said she was great to work with. She was very helpful, he got much better grades, he understood her, she was so polite, and stayed up with him one night till around 2 am to complete a project when he procrastinated until the last day...and he ended up getting an A on the report! She also helped him a lot studying for the SAT's!! I highly recommend Jericha, and I'm so happy to see that she opened her own business! I truly wish her the very best and I know that all of the kids that she teaches will learn a lot and just love her!! Kari Lody - Aurora, IL

First year at this school and my kids love it! They are both so much better behaved and have…read morelearned a lot during their first year here. The principal, Mrs. Mitchell, is a firm and fair principal that knows how to run a school well. She addresses any problems with any student and makes sure they are performing as they should at school. All the teachers are well trained, patient, and experienced. Mrs. Olsen (3rd Grade) has helped my son immensely with his academics as well as shaping him to be a great student! Mrs. Morawski and Mrs. Pozezinski (Kindergarten) have taught my daughter quite a bit and she is a much smarter girl because of it! The school is well maintained and they teach the Roman Catholic faith quite thoroughly as well. I am very satisfied with St. Mary School and recommend to anyone who wants a quality education both academically and spiritually to enroll their children here. A+++

In the past 2 years I have had nothing but positive experiences with my chil'ds teachers. They have been professional and knowledgable about different stages my child has gone through. They communicate well and offer a great program that challenges my child while letting her have fun. The center also has extra curriculuar programs my child participates in, allowing us to have more family time together at the end of the day instead of running here and there. The office staff is approachable and helpful. They both hold Masters degress in Education. The best thing about the center is that you feel comfortable the minute you walk in the door. It's a small, cozy setting that makes you feel like your child would be very safe. Many families get to know eachother and keep all of their children at the center for many years. Everyone is friendly and the children seem very happy and well rounded. I wouldn't dream of taking my child any where else.

As older parents of an only child, we thoroughly looked at EVERY (and I'm not exaggerating!)…read moredaycare option in the I-88 corridor area. Initially, we signed up with a flashier competitor within the same top-tier standards, but at the last moment before our infant daughter was set to start there, a mothers-instinct kicked in and I switched facilities at the last moment. Two-and-a-half years later, I have no regrets at that last-minute change. My intuition served me right. The smaller, more personalized, and nurturing care of this facility was completely right for us. Our daughter thrived from the careful attention of a long-term, experienced staff (infant room teachers who had over 15 years of experience in THIS center) who treated my child just like their own ... inside and outside of the classroom. Staff worked WITH us in addressing all our concerns educationally and also with help in parenting tips as well. As our child progressed from the infant room to the toddler room, the caring continued with experienced teachers and a vast array of new opportunities including a curricula adaptable to the children's needs yet supported by a stellar national standard which includes whole learning including science, math, reading, creative play, and even basic word-instruction in Spanis. Being in an office building, the facility seems much more homey than some of the instituionalized day-care centers. The playground isn't a concrete space, but set in a tree-shaded park with designated age-appropriate areas for each group of students. My daughter gets to play in the grass, pick leaves and flowers, help in a garden, play in a sandbox, ride trikes, and so much more in a real outdoor setting. it's wonderful. In addition because of Bright Horizons is part of a larger company, the center has support staff that comes in to the center to teach music and even art in a designated work space. The school has smart boards and computers in the rooms and even has an indoor "Movement Matters" room with ballet bars, mirrors, yoga mats, a climbing wall that is used daily to motivate children in various kinds of physical activity. Even the food here is a step up from most other "day-cares." With an emphasis on healthy eating, an wide variety of fruits and veggies are offered, whole grains are standard, and unhealthy filler juices are replaced with water & milk; homecooked meals and snacks are presented in so many ways with ethnic & comfort styles that my daughter has been expanded her eating habits from most schools traditional nuggets, corn nibbles, pizza, applejuice, and tater-tots! I really can't say enough about this school (not just a day-care). My daughter is academically challenged and ahead of her peers in other institutions, she is socially & environmentally adept ... and is a WELL-ADUSTED and HAPPY little girl who has found the balance of play with forward-thinking learning. She is loved at Bright Horizons and she (and we) love it back. Truly a wonderful place.

After the class is over you can get a refund of the $20 or donate it to the project. If you are more of a risk taker, you can just show up on the Friday of the class, the earlier the better, and see if they have any vacancies and not have to pay at all. The class is great, if not long. 4 hours on Friday, and 10 hours on Saturday and Sunday. Most of that time is riding motorcycles. They provide you with a bike and helmet. All you need are shoes that cover your ankles, long sleeve shirt, eye protection and gloves. Once you complete and pass the class they will mail you a certificate. You take that to the Secretary of State office, and you get your license with out having to take any of the tests. It's that easy. The best thing is that you get to spend two days riding motorcycles. Even if you donate the full fee, think about it. $23 for two days of riding motorcycles. Where else are you going to get two days worth of fun for that price? I'm not going to lie and say that the classroom work is a little boring, but honestly the instructors give you a lot of good information that will come in handy when you do start to ride. The best part is that these classes are located at various locations across the state. I took mine at the local community college. I now own my own motorcycle and ride all the time, but I'm thinking of taking the class again just to get some more experience and training. They also offer more advanced courses too. If you've ever thought of riding a motorcycle, I would highly recommend taking these classes.
