The communication was great, activities well thought out, and facility was warm and welcoming. We loved the big fenced in playground, large bike area and indoor gym! There was a keypad for parents to enter their PIN to unlock entrance. The Director was also around to greet families, help with doors and monitor area. Loved that place. Had referred many to go there, and will continue so.

    This is the first fall in four years that we don't have a preschooler going to Bethlehem Preschool…read more My first two children went there for two years each and we cannot say enough good things about the program. Miss Pong, the director, has been great. When my first son was there, and I was a nervous mom, she was very kind and reassuring. Miss Melissa took the time to help him out of his shell and encouraged him to have fun with his friends. I knew I was leaving my kids in the best hands. I was very impressed with the education they received. My second son told me all about palindromes! When I asked Miss Anne if I was hearing him correctly, she told me that it was something she told the class, in a very basic way. But he retained that knowledge and now he likes to tell me when it's 11:11 and "that's a palindrome mom!" The facilities are very good, I liked the layout very much. The playground is just the right size for little kids, the fence around it is very reassuring with little kids running all over! I also really appreciated the security of getting into the building. I wish our grammar school had that system. I have a third son, who is too young for the program. I have no doubts where he will be going when it's his turn.

    Hosanna! Preschool has been the best choice I've made since starting our education journey with our…read moredaughter. I did my research on our area preschools (9+ schools) and ultimately decided to have Hosanna! as our preschool for many reasons. The school classrooms are large, filled with fun toys, treehouses, and interactive play. The teachers are the most loving and caring and truly know my daughter and let her personality shine. The director makes sure you know everything that is going on and the communication between parents and teachers is comforting. The preschool offers many activities for parents to join throughout the year, which have been very special moments. The outside playground is well kept and continues to grow with new activities added, like this year's Mud Kitchen! There is also a large indoor gym for when it's raining or too cold. The cost is average for the Elgin area and worth every penny! Our (almost) two years of preschool have been so enjoyable and my daughter has grown academically as well as socially/emotionally. She has made close friends and families have become close as well. Highly recommend you check out Hosanna! Preschool for your kiddos, you won't regret it!

    Would rate it zero stars if I could, Director Mandy is horrible and should not be working with…read morechildren. She had a court order between my ex and I and would deliberately go against it. Doing things like calling my daughters father when somebody I approve to pick her up, literally just to inform him that I didn't pick her up from school on my scheduled time- but would allow her father and his approved list pick her up whenever they wanted including my parenting time early from school with no information to me. Allowed ex, and girlfriend to sign up for Parent teacher conference and did not inform me. Multiple conversations with the school telling them what was happening and asking them to give me communication about my daughters schooling and refusing to. I understand that it's not a preschool job to deal with parents, not getting along, but when they go out of their way to inform one parent about everything, the other parent is doing it seems very sketchy and untrustworthy. Not to mention they are aware that my ex was in serious Rehab for serious drug problem had had multiple order protections taken out on him, so I might be a difficult person, but I'm dealing with a lot from here at the preschool than nothing but make his abuse worse and enable him. As mentioned, the person who did all the shady things, was Mandy, the Director of the preschool

    I strongly and unequivocally disagree with the statement provided by the school. As a parent, my…read moreconcern is not only valid but supported by the seriousness of what occurred. This matter was significant enough to warrant involvement from DCFS, and a formal case was opened and documented as a violation. That alone directly contradicts any attempt to minimize or dismiss the situation. The claim that there is a "zero-tolerance policy" and that all children are consistently kept in a safe and nurturing environment does not align with my child's experience or the outcome of the investigation. Policies are only meaningful when they are properly enforced, and in this instance, there was a clear failure to uphold the standards that are being publicly promoted. I find it deeply concerning that the response avoids accountability and instead attempts to deflect by not addressing key details. As a parent, I trusted this facility with my child's safety, and that trust was compromised. The fact that this resulted in a documented DCFS violation speaks for itself. I am sharing this not to engage in conflict, but to ensure transparency and to emphasize that this situation was real, serious, and formally recognized by the appropriate authorities. Parents deserve full honesty when it comes to the safety and well-being of their children. CITATION- 407100A3 & 407100A10

I was so hesitant when I first had to leave my son but quickly realized what great hands I was leaving him in. They have always been so accommodating and communicate whenever there's an issue or concern. I love seeing how much my son has learned and give all the credit to the staff. We went and visited all the daycares in the area, and we just had such a good feeling about this place. Overall, an amazing daycare in St. Charles that I can't recommend enough!

In the few months she has been with Kiddie Academy, she has made strides in bettering the center that include changes to the menu, and ensuring we have quality teachers for the kids attending.

From our own experience, parents can bring any concern, big or small, directly to her, and she gives you her full and undivided attention. She does her best to work with you and your family on whatever the matter may be. Above all, you can truly tell that she cares about every child.

We've watched our children blossom, thrive and establish solid foundations for their journey into elementary school. The staff is incredibly supportive, effective and they really take the extra steps to connect with each child. We can see the teachers and director love what they do and are invested in each child's development. We're going to be sad when our youngest moves on to Kindergarten because that means leaving Swing Set behind, but we know that each child has been set up for success. And as food allergy parents, we are very grateful to have found this school where his allergies are taken very seriously. We highly recommend this preschool to all the families in the local communities. We love Swing Set Preschool.

As the years have gone by and locations have changed, Swing Set Preschool still believes in the same values, but has adapted to the ever changing society around us. Statistics say that children learn best through play, which is why we are still a play-based program. However, with the option of attending a full day or half day kindergarten program, we have begun incorporating more academics to make sure we are adequately preparing all of our children for kindergarten. We truly found the happy medium that best meets the needs of children.
