I have a now 4 year old who I first put at Kindercare in Lake Zurich for 9 months after she was…read moreborn and then Kindercare in Mount Prospect until my daughter was 14 months old. I had issues with the cleaniness, introverted teachers toward parents, and the drives were longer than I wanted. August 2017 I heard from my sister to try out Barrington Community Childcare Center. I had a tour, I spoke with Mrs. Terri and the infant room teachers and I instantly felt welcomed, safe, and pleased with the place so I instantly signed her up and she began her journey at BCCC at 15 months old. Beyond words these kind, loving, and compassionate teachers and assistant teachers have helped my daughter prepare and enjoy school so easily that she is excited to be in Pre-K and she is so smart I owe it all the Mrs. Terri and her teachers. If you are a single mom, a stay at home mom/dad trying to find a place for your child so you can go back to work, or parents concerned of the place your childs at now and do not feel like you can trust any place again, I recommend BCCC in Barrington. I been there for so long they are my daughters second family. She loves her new school but tells me she will go back to BCCC this summer. "You got it Airianna, you already miss them don't you?" Terri, Jean, Erin, Brianne, Samantha, Julie, Anna, Ashley, Lisa, Tatianna, Shabria, Melinda, Thank you for everything you have done for myself and Airianna. Would 10000000% recommend BCCC for any family!

I cannot say enough good things about this center and its staff! Our children attended this daycare…read morefor close to 4 years. Our son from age 1 and our daughter from infancy. Every teacher knew both of my kids regardless of what room they were in and knew who their parents were. They always take the time to tell you about any concerns they have or to fill you in on your child's day. They genuinely care for the kids and the community. I was finally able to stay home with our children, that's the only reason our kids are no longer enrolled there. On our last day, there were tears cried by everyone and the teachers made cards for the kids. It was so touching and sweet to see how much they cared for our munchkins.

She was very willing to work with our requests for using breast milk, cloth diapers, and organic products. My daughter gets the naps she needs. There are a lot of arts and crafts projects, and they love the activities and special events. I liked that my two kids were cared for together (as opposed to being in separate "rooms" at a daycare center). It's going to be difficult when it's time for the youngest one to move on to Kindergarten!

We struggled with childcare for the first 2.5 years of our daughter's life and I was grappling with…read morepotentially having to quit my job until we found Goddard. My daughter is 4.5 now and I can't imagine her being anywhere else. From the first interview, everything about Goddard has been wonderful. I remember thinking during the interview it didn't seem possible that the director, Sue, really knew each kid individually like was being shown. I just didn't think a sense of care and community like that was possible given our previous experiences, but over time, I've seen that's just the way they do things here. That level of care is the way here at Goddard. The staff are knowledgeable and kind, and they know most if not all of the students by name whether they are in their class or not. My daughter has cycled through a few classes as she's aged and every single one has been great. She absolutely thrives at Goddard and loves everything about it; it's one of her favorite places to be. She has learned so much in her time here - growing leaps and bounds both intellectually and emotionally. They do so many fun activities and she asks me every morning what fun thing is in store that day - especially in summer! School leadership puts so much thought into fun and adventure for the kids. My daughter is well known, appreciated, safe, and loved, and we couldn't ask for anything more. She comes home every single day excited to tell us about her day, and excited to go back the next. She has one year left before kindergarten, and I'm honestly already heartbroken. If Goddard still offered kindergarten here, we would sign her up in a heartbeat. If we ever have more kids, enrolling them in Goddard will be one of the easiest decisions we'll make.

We brought our 1 year old in for a tour and was told he would be a great fit. I was given the…read morepaperwork to fill out and received a call the next day that the director wanted to talk to us. Before the tour I had spoken to them and told them that my son was in speech therapy. They were aware and said this wouldn't be a problem. When we came in to go through the paperwork the director told me that my son would not do well at their school and that he would need one on one care that they couldn't give, therefore he would "slip through the cracks". After observing him for 5-10 minutes she stated that she believes he is autistic and his mannerisms were all things that a child with autism demonstrates. She went on to give me pamphlets of places for him to get tested and schools for children with autism diagnosis. I let her know that the pediatrician had never once had a concern for autism and that he just had the speech delay. I left crying and embarrassed by the way we were treated. My son now goes to a new school and is thriving. He talks all the time and again has not been diagnosed with autism. I would never recommend this school to anyone. I believe they only want certain children and families who will boost the image of the school.

We love Creme! Our…read moredaughter has been attending Creme since she was three months old - Infant room until 2s! She's almost three in September. We have so many good things to say about Creme! 1) the teachers are AMAZING. They are dedicated, passionate and committed to their jobs. When I toured other centers, it seemed like the teachers were there to keep your child alive. 2) The curriculum is structured and organized. We can see what our daughter does everyday at Creme. I love this because I can stay involved with her learning and see what she is working on so we can practice at home! The other centers we toured did not have nearly the same structured and organized curriculum that Creme does. My parents were both educators and VERY impressed with this program (even in babies she had a structured curriculum). 3) Shout outs to Miss Marisha and Miss Ashley - they are AWESOME. You will never find two better childcare givers than these two. They make Creme better every day by working there. 4) The director, Lila is committed and passionate about the work she does here. She is very involved in what is going on in each class room, always curious to gain more parent involvement and learning ways to do this, and dedicated! She works ALL the time. She responds to my emails very quickly throughout the day and is always willing to work with my daughter's schedule. 5) too many more to mention! We love everyone here!

The first year there were some teacher transitions, which caused some adjustments each time, but this year our daughter is in Ms. Mary's class and the experience has been great. Ms. Mary is very experienced and I am amazed at all my daughter is learning, from writing to days of the month, to playing well with others. I know my daughter is in good hands when I drop her off, and she has a great time at the school. I also appreciate the friendly, responsive administrative team and the flexible extended hours. My daughter is usually at school from 8 - 5:30, but they are open from 6:30-6, which helps on days I need to drop her off early or pick her up.

When we drop him off, he gives her a huge smile and holds his arms out to her - never ever has he been upset when we've dropped him off to her - this is a HUGE relief for this full-time working mom. Just a heads up, she loves these kids like a grandma and feels bad when they don't all get to eat the same treats at lunch. So make sure to be clear with her on any foods you don't want your little one having just yet.
