I have never met so many "fake Christians" in my life!!!! This place is awful. Certain people are very welcoming, but the minute you call the fakers out, they go running and gossiping to other members who act nothing like Christians in God's house!! This is a joke!! I wouldn't recommend this place.

The…read moreteachers and staff poured into him educationally, spiritually, mentally and emotionally those 12 years. He is a stronger Christian and a more balanced adult due partly to the education he received at Trinity Oaks. If you're looking for a solution to the mess that is the public school system, I highly recommend Trinity Oaks.

Someone told me before we attended the school that the students are like family, and they view each other as siblings and I didn't get it until we started at TOCA. But equally important is the care each teacher gives to each student. These aren't just teachers doing a job. These are educators dedicated to a mission of providing a safe, loving, Christ-centered environment for young minds to grow. What more could you ask for?

Purple Moose is an exceptional early childhood experience for children and their families! Our son…read morecompleted the 2 year old preschool program and my husband and I (both educators) were blown away by the education and love provided! The communication from the directors and teachers was top notch and appreciated! We saw many pictures daily via the app used which led to great conversations with our son and a beautiful digital portfolio of his year! The lessons were themed, engaging, included multiple senses, child appropriate and child led, and a blend of inside and nature time! We loved seeing the cute projects coming home. The teachers truly loved the children and played with them and modeled play and learning. Such a fantastic learning environment and experience.

I have 2 older children to compare their experiences with and let's just say that my 3rd is the luckiest of them all. Here is why I love it: 1. It is not a day care. I'm sorry day cares but you are different to no fault of yours. It's just a different environment and that shows. The kids act like they are going to "school". All arriving and departing at the same time. That for some reason creates an excitement. 2. It's old fasioned. I can't explain it but it's a good thing! 3. My child is learning so much! There is time for play as well but I'm amazed at how much he has learned in such a short time. I think it is the routine of it all. 4. My child is begging to go. I mean jumping up and down excited to go to school. This makes me want to jump up and down as well because I know that this is where the passion to learn starts!

Little Minds is a hidden gem conveniently located near the Crystal Lake/Pingree Road Metra stop. Only having been open for a few months, the place is clean, spacious, and welcoming all throughout. The teachers are nurturing, knowledgeable and accommodating (except for one elderly woman who is cold and never greets my family - thankfully NOT in my son's classroom) to my 2-year-old's mood changing needs. The director has been very flexible with our family when we decided to change our schedule. My husband and I like that there is an indoor play area (i.e., slides, ride on toys, etc.) for those extreme weather days. I also like how one of the teachers incorporates a baking/cooking lesson daily with the students. The only TEMPORARY downside is, because this daycare is new, the enrollment is low. My family has very HIGH hopes that Little Minds will grow in the next few months with more exposure. We literally pass a "big shot" daycare, that is 5 minutes from our home, to get here, and you couldn't pay our family to go to that one! If you are in search for a new daycare in the Crystal Lake and surrounding area, come check this place out!

I went in and met Nicole while I was still pregnant. I took a tour of the center and it was awesome. Everything was so clean and new! They also have cameras in each room which was reassuring.

I would highly recommend this daycare center to anyone in the area looking. It's also better priced than most!
