I highly recommend Christ Lutheran Preschool! Our son has been attending Christ Lutheran Preschool…read morefor 2 years now. We went to visit many preschools in the area and felt this program had a great child focused curriculum. I am extremely confident that my son is ready for Kindergarten in the fall due to his teachers. All of the staff are kind, caring and nuturing to all of the students and families. My son comes home everyday telling us a new fact he learned or sings a new song for us. I can't wait until his sister is old enough so she can attend!

This is about the facility itself than the camp. My kids and I went her for a JCC event in October…read more The event and the facility itself are amazing. I have gotten to know Lawrence over the past two years through the second friday events and he does an amazing job. This particular event was for sukkot and included arts and crafts, hayrides, a chance to put the crafts in their sukkah, a petting zoo and live music. EFA is a great venue. The site is extensive and gave plenty of room for all of these activities to co exist. Because its in LZ, the hayride almost felt like being on a farm, Without a doubt the highlight of the day with the Garoon Gateway to Science. Its an amazing experience. Its hands on and outside. Both of which are important for learning. Chicago is definitely bereft of hands on museums and the Garoon definitely is. According to the website for Garoon it says. "In this state-of-the-art, outdoor learning environment, children ages 4-14 are encouraged to explore basic physical and natural science principles in a way that challenges learning, curiosity and creativity. The hands-on exhibits are designed to be both fun and demonstrative. JCC believes children learn best through processes that peak their own curiousity and compel them toward discovery (informal, experiential education).... "This project is in the mainstream of a world-wide movement toward experiential, outdoor, informal science education," said Martin Levine, General Director of JCC Chicago. "The basic premise is that children can have fun and do serious learning at the same time."

This place and its amazing teachers like Bob W make music fun to learn for the kids. A+!

I can't speak for the particular classes here, but I happened upon a random parking lot concert the…read moreother day that made me realize I've been connected to School of Rock for years. School of Rock is truly a community institution. Yes, there are a host of these schools around the country, but in Highwood this school has done an incredible job of promoting itself locally. Present at most of the festivals, local farmers markets, and other public events I've been to, the students that take lessons here get numerous opportunities to perform publicly. Maggie, the current director, has done a great job of sharing this young talent with the local community. I have a background in the performing arts. I started performing on stage as a young kid, and I know there is nothing more important than getting out and practicing your talent at a young age. Either you take to it or you don't, but I know the students at this school get many chances to find out if music will be in their future. Way to go School of Rock and your team for exposing me to so many of your concerts and young performers over the years. Now, if only I could get my kiddos to pick up their guitars, get over their stage fright, and help make an impact on the musical community ;-)
