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+++

They have a great indoor gym for those days that they can't go outside to play. That's an important thing in preschool! They also do a good job of teaching them the basics - numbers, letters, colors, being nice to others, etc. As far as price goes, it's pretty comparable to the other schools in Wheaton. They have parent teacher conferences and even provide baby sitting for them, which is really great. Alas, our favorite teacher, Mrs. Craig is gone. She was the bomb!

Are you looking for a preschool for your little one? LOOK NO FURTHER! Just register, you won't…read moreregret it. I researched all the local preschools from Barrington to Crystal Lake and St Barnabas was the best decision I could have made for my son. Immediately I felt at ease when talking with the director Kathy. She spent a lot of time talking with me and answering my questions (first timer with a lot). She was more than happy to show me around the school as well (it was summer time and they were closed). My son has febrile seizures so I also needed to put him someplace where I felt comfortable but also where they felt comfortable having a child there that this could possibly occur on their watch (lucky not to date). This was the place that made me feel most comfortable with his seizure disorder! My son is now in his second year of preschool and my youngest is already registered for next year to start in the 3T's program. It makes me so happy to see how my son looks forward to going to school each day. He has learned SO MUCH! He constantly comes home singing or telling me something that he's learned that day and it amazes me! But I love St Barnabas for the culture. The school environment is SO LOVING! It's like dropping him off with family. I know each time I leave he is in great hands. The staff have worked together for years and you can tell they all love what they do! What more could you want for in a preschool? This is the one! I know some have asked about the religious aspect in the school. Even if your NOT religious it's OK to still have your child attend preschool here. Religion is not forced upon you there. Yes it's faith based and my son can now tell me about Jesus and say prayers. It's not excessive. He tells me more about the months of the year and the days of the week.

Hands down the best preschool in the area! I felt like my daughter was in such great hands every…read moretime I dropped her off. She loved having Miss Lauren as her teacher.

I am so happy with the Bloomingdale Tutor Time center. My son has been there since he was an infant…read moreand I quickly came to trust the staff with his safety, his health, and his emotional and learning needs. They only bring on staff that are capable and caring. I love that I hear about my sons activities several times each day and that any calls messages I send through the app are tended to immediately. Also, I must note: When my son was hospitalized at 18mos old, the team was tremendously supportive, checking in with us regularly and making a beautiful get well card for my son with photos and signed by each of the staff members. They truly go above and beyond to care for the children and communicate with the parents- and ensure nobody ever feels like "a number". We are so happy we found this center and I don't have any reason to rate them less than the full five stars!

The environment is warm and nurturing, the staff really cares about the children and you can tell they absolutely love their job. Michelle the director is one of the sweetest people you will ever meet. She goes out of her way to explain the preschool program and the process which is is so important to families sending their child to school for the first time. The curriculum was fantastic as well. Not only did my child learn about God's love but he came home saying some words in Spanish, singing new songs, making cute art projects and even writing his name! I'm so happy I found this school, we have since joined the church as well because of the wonderful experience and amazing people we have met.
