My two year old and infant attend ALC #4 in La Grange Park. We started in April 2023 and have been…read moreSO pleased with our experience. We were transferring from our Lincoln Park daycare and found it to be a very smooth transition. The teachers have been very nurturing and my two year old is genuinely happy walking into school each day to see her teachers and friends. They offer great programming, ample outside time and lots of arts and crafts. My infant just started and I feel very comfortable entrusting her care to the wonderful teachers here. It's a big decision finding the right fit for full day childcare and I am very happy our family found ALC #4.

Post Covid I was so hesitant to place my now 27 month old in daycare. I feared not only the virus…read morebut the thought of leaving my son in the hands of a stranger tore my heart into a gazillion pieces. Fast forward---- I finally decided it was time to help my son with his social skills; which were impacted due to Covid. I started researching for daycares in my area. I read reviews after reviews. Then, I came across Little Bright Minds. The reviews were great. I looked at the pictures. Read and re-read their goals and mission. So I made the call. I spoke with Oscar who was so professional. He scheduled me for a visit. When we arrived the first thing I noticed was their Covid protocols posted on the outside door. Hand Sanitizer. This was already a big PLUS. I was greeted by Oscar along with Alicia. This place is MAGICAL. You can smell how clean and sanitize everything is. So organized. Spacious. Alicia- she is truly AMAZING. The most Professional Childcare Provider I have ever came across. Her patience and kind soul is palpable. I was already sold and I had yet to see their curriculum. As I sat and listening to then explain their day to day activities; Alicia allowed my Son to play with the blocks, and cars. They where very thorough in explaining their policies. Their goals. Their expectations. They listened to my concerns and they were willing to accommodate my son. I was so ecstatic to learn that they finally had a space for us. LBM a has been a huge blessing in our lives. My son loves going to daycare. He is thriving and I see such a huge improvement In his social skills, speech, and overall behavior. If you are looking for PROFESSIONAL, COMPASSIONATE, GOAL ORIENTED, TEACHING childcare- Little Bright Minds is the answer! Alicia and her team are so so amazing and I'm so lucky to have my son under their care!

Little Bright Minds Daycare is a hidden gem! After my wife spent three years at home raising our…read moretwo boys, we were anxious about her returning to work and finding quality care, but the Little Bright Minds family made the transition incredibly smooth. We were immediately impressed by how seriously they take their interview process. They focus on ensuring the children and parents are a perfect fit, which gave us a great deal of confidence and reassurance. Everyone at Little Bright Minds is exceptionally patient and easy to get along with. Thanks to their attentive care, our sons adapted to their new routine much faster than we anticipated. It's amazing to see our boys eager to attend every morning and come home with big smiles. We love the Montessori-based curriculum and the creative activities they provide daily. The arts and crafts they bring home are always great to see! We are truly grateful to have found a place where our kids are safe, growing socially, and genuinely learning. We highly recommend them to any family!

We are delighted to recommend Cindy Care. Our daughter was under her care for more than 2 years…read moreand we always knew she was in good hands. Cindy provides a warm, nurturing, and safe and rich learning environment for young children. From the moment our daughter started, Cindy helped her be comfortable and made it easier for her to establish a bond. Even though she had some anxiety at first, Cindy patiently helped her feel comfortable during this transition, and also provided support and guidance to us as parents! She provided lots of warm hugs and delicious homemade food! Under her care, we noticed our daughter's development flourish. We were so excited when our daughter started saying "thank you" and "please" as a result of the encouragement she received at the daycare. Cindy has a way to make learning fun, and has a way to extend that joy to the children and their families. Cindy is very invested in the well being of the children she cares for. It has felt like having an additional part of the family, another adult who truly cares about your child, is able to provide input and support, and to participate in the joys of every milestone she has reached. Cindy's in home daycare program provides an environment that feels more like a family. My daughter, who is an only child, felt like she was in a home with her other siblings. It is clear that Cindy loves what she does, and she is extremely knowledgeable and nurturing. She has an excellent approach to teaching, supporting and nurturing the children. It is incredible how children of different ages are able to nap peacefully under her care, often times much better than in their own homes. It was so helpful to get individualized input from Cindy about my daughter, how her day was like, and other issues that came up, something that does not happen in bigger daycare centers. Cindy's lovely home has plenty of space for children to play, learn, nap, and share. She provides a daily structure that really helps children be ready for school once they are done with daycare. The lessons she teaches resonate strongly with my daughter, and she often quotes "Miss Cindy" when she talks, showing how much she has learned and how much she values her input. Cindy Care also has very talented and caring staff and we are truly grateful for the way they have cared for our daughter. We recommend Cindy Care to the fullest!

Once I met the CEO/Owner Ms. Tiwana, My daughter teachers Ms. Tequila and Ms. Carrie, as well as the additional staff, I felt right at home. My daughter instantly fell in love with not only the staff, I could tell by her physical response, she was comfortable in the environment. Since being apart of this wonderful establishment, my daughter's developmental abilities have improved tremendously from physically, verbally, socially and even emotionally. If you're considering enrolling your child, please don't second guess. It's absolutely worth it! Thanks for everything Little People Learning Center!

PLEASE PLEASE DO NOT SEND YOUR CHILDREN HERE! Here is a…read moreshort version of a very traumatic experience! My grandson had pinch marks on his arms for several weeks. Finally he told us that his teacher Ms.P pinched him! Ms.K was seen thru the window gripping my grandson by his shoulders and loudly speaking directly into his face after 30 seconds of his arrival. When questioned about this she denied any wrong doing and went on to say that she dreads the time that my grandson gets dropped off! Asked to see the recordings from the camera for the past 3 weeks. After several days and many lies later we learned from their other location in N.Riverside that the cameras do not work. How is this safe? No cameras? In this current world we live in who in their right mind would leave their young children in a place that does not provide cameras. Ms.P and Ms.K should never be allowed to work with children ever again. The entire staff is extremely uneducated and unprofessional! DCFS has been notified! Please keep your children safe and do patronize Let's Play Daycare on 26Th street in North Riverside.
