They are professional, responsive, communicative, professional, caring & everything you could look for in a daycare. They have a well researched curriculum that has clearly helped our son's speech progression. They take their security protocols seriously. The entire staff (even the teachers who do not teach my children) know everyone. They are very friendly and my children love it there. Highly recommend.

Most important the curriculum is very engaging for kids. Just attended the drive-in Christmas carol and it was the best experience ever.

This school has been amazing for our 2 boys. We moved here from Texas a year ago and immediately…read moreenrolled the boys upon meeting the teaching staff. We came from a Montessori school prior, so it was at least familiar materials and concepts for the boys during a rather difficult transition. The stability and structure of the school gives my boys great comfort. The teachers are consistent, loving, and work very hard in the classroom to help each child. What have we accomplished with this school? - My 5-year-old is reading. Very well. He is also a proficient writer, budding speller, and excelling in math. His social skills have had a chance to flourish and he enjoys helping kids younger than him learn things he has already mastered. - My 3-year-old is becoming a writer, mastering letter sounds, learning practical life skills, working on social skills, and making friends. - Personally, I feel that I have been given tools to help my kids at home through meaningful conferences, I have made friends (difficult after a big move), back up and support for any of my kids' challenging behaviors, and peace of mind that that are in a loving environment during the school day. This is a school, not a daycare, so if you are looking for flexible hours, flexible tuition, or zero responsibility on your end this is not the place for you. It is a collaborative effort between home and school. That being said, the teaching staff/ owner have gone above and beyond for my kids more than once. We are in our second year here (Kindergarten year and 2nd-year Montessori) and we will keep attending for the foreseeable future. Final thought: I am DELIGHTED at how my older son is progressing through his kindergarten year. I am so incredibly glad that we chose the third year of Montessori for him! So if you are looking for a kindergarten alternative, MOP will not disappoint!

I cannot say enough postive things about this school. We are nearing the end of our three year…read morejourney with them and my only complaint is that it is coming to an end as we will miss it dearly. The teachers at Montessori of Plainfield are AMAZING. My son started school as a young 3 year old who was very shy and timid, with his thumb in his mouth and brown blankie by his side. By the end of the first week brown blankie stayed home and he was excited to go to school each day. This school helped his personality shine through and he is now Mr. Social and loves making new friends, a drastic change from when we started. He will enter kindergarten reading at a 2nd/3rd grade level and 2nd grade level math. This school has been well worth the investment in the foundation for my son's education. I highly recommend this school!

We have been with KLA for over two years and are so happy with the community they've created there…read more We started in the Baby Nido (infant room) and have been in the Nido (toddler) 2s and 3s room and have been happy during the entire journey. The teachers and administration treat the all of the children as their own, and the knowledge my young children bring home every day is amazing. Ms. Tracy, who leads the Nido class, has a such gift with toddlers. She is patient, genuine and loving, and has a way of engaging and teaching that is truly unique. She is always on the floor along with the kids and creative enough to engage the various levels. We know our children adore Ms. Tracy which makes it so much easier to leave them every day. Ms. Tiffany is also in the Nido room and compliments Ms. Tracy perfectly. She is also always on floor with the kids and engages them in the creative learning activities. All of the kids seem to really enjoy Ms. Tiffany's company! Ms. Gabby has been in a couple of different rooms with my children at various times. Both of my kids gravitated to her immediately and still talk about her even though neither of them are in the same class as her anymore. She is playful, engaging, and loving. Ms. Lauren and Ms. Madeley were also with my kids at various times, and are also fantastic. They are usually there when I'm picking up and are very good at communicating with parents regarding the child's day, needs, etc. My children had the opportunity to be with Ms. Ashley a few times throughout their time at KLA. Ms. Ashley now leads the older 3s class and has a true gift. She is loving and patient but is great with molding manners and listening skills. The kids absolutely adore her. My daughter is no longer with her class and still talks about her daily, and hangs on her every opportunity she has. She has even asked if Ms. Ashley can come over to our house to play! Ms. Stephanie leads the 3s class and I envy her way of engaging and managing the crazy kids and personalities. She incorporates fun with learning that makes my 3 year old excited to go to school every day. Whatever activity she has the kids doing, she is right along with them on the floor, at their little table, etc. I could truly go on and on about about the teachers and staff at KLA. As a working parent you tend to feel guilty about leaving your kids on a daily basis. However, after so much time spent at KLA, I actually feel a little guilty on the days they are NOT there because I know they are probably having more fun and are learning more when they are there! You can feel confident that your children are in great hands when you are gone. Just don't feel bad when they cry when you come to pick them up because they don't want to leave... It happens to all of us!

KLA Plainfield has been a community we didn't know we were missing. After trying at-home care for a…read morefew months, my husband and I were pressed to find more reliable options. This was the second daycare we toured, and we were surprised at how quickly we felt at-ease. After Principal Shannon gave us a tour of the classrooms and curriculum, we knew that they were fully committed to the best experience for both parents and children. I expected the first month to be rougher, but in truth it wasn't. I got frequent updates of how my son was doing after drop off from Ms. Karen and Ms. Shannon, along with photos of our little guy assimilating in his new environment. I also enjoyed seeing the photos from the Vrutti app of class activities and the children playing with each other. I'd always hold my breath to see our son's nap duration, but I was surprised at how well he was sleeping so soon. We thought we would ease into daycare with a 3 day a week schedule, but our only regret is not going 5 days sooner! My husband and I can now work soundly knowing our child is in extremely capable hands. All the staff are very forthcoming as well if your child seems off/sick, had an accident, etc. There is a strong culture of honesty and integrity here. So after almost 4 months, I can confidently say the staff at KLA have been a true blessing. We are not stressed about call-offs or our son being bored at home anymore with the same stations. He is so advanced at 14 months, learning how to hold pencils and playing with his friends in class. Baby Nido teachers Ms. Sayantani, Ms. Cristina, and Ms. Eva are the dream team. Leaving your kids with non-family can be difficult in any capacity, but the Baby Nido teachers are true professionals. They are confident with the kids and you can tell they really enjoy what they do. All of this to say--you will meet some fantastic staff members here at KLA as well as great parents. Don't struggle alone, don't stress to be an employer on top of your full time job... just give KLA a shot and you will find yourself to be as relieved as we were

They had such a blast playing and learning every day. They do so much with these kids on a daily basis. Within 1 month our youngest (2 1/2) was singing songs and learning the alphabet. Our oldest is now back in her regular school full time for the school year but she gets picked up from Goddard each afternoon from school and attends Goddard's after school program. I work downtown Chicago and traffic gets me home in the late afternoon and I'm so grateful to have a place for my oldest to go after school. I love that they pick her up daily and they help her with all of her homework!! What a blessing and time saver that is. For a working mom, your evenings are very tight and busy and any help you can get is so wonderful. My favorite part about the Goddard school is the pictures and daily emails. Each day, throughout the day, I get random photos of my kids interacting, playing, coloring and having fun. This is the highlight of my day when I get my emails and see my kiddos having a great time. It makes me smile every single time. Also, at the end of the day after I sign them out I get an email laying out there entire day which includes, what they ate, what times they changed there diapers, how long they napped, what activities they did that day. Its amazing!! The best part about this particular Goddard school is how wonderful and involved the owners are. Karen and Rundy really care for all the children and they are always there at the school! The teachers and staff that they hire are all wonderful people. They really make sure they hire the best for our children. The place is super clean and super secure. I feel safe every day leaving them there. I feel like I'm leaving them with family. I don't write reviews often but when I do, I mean every single word.

I want to introduce you to a new business that recently opened in Plainfield, Illinois. Lighthouse…read moreAcademy is a quality childcare center, and the third of their centers to open in Illinois. Lighthouse Academy is a quality day care center because of its cleanliness, structured curriculum, and nurturing caregivers. I would highly recommend them to families or caregivers looking for a highly educational program for their children. Lighthouse Academy is a quality day care center ran by a wonderful director and filled with enthusiastic and nurturing caregivers. The center is accredited by The National Association for the Education for Young Children (NAEYC) and The Department of Child and Family Services (DCFS). They believe in the highest-level of education to help children learn and grow. The teachers are highly trained in CPR and First Aid. If they are not certified upon being hired, the center offers classes for them to become certified. Lighthouse Academy is a curriculum-based center, which means they follow guidelines while teaching their children, making sure there is structure in their day. Lighthouse Academy focuses on the development of each child intellectually, emotionally, socially, and physically. By focusing on all four of those areas, they are helping build the "whole child". The center is known for its cleanliness and they uphold themselves to a high standard of being extremely clean. They clean the entire building at the end of every day. Each teacher is in charge of their own classrooms, and making sure that all toys and materials are bleached at the end of every day. It is very obvious when you walk into the building of this center that it is very clean and well taken care of. Finding a day care center that is right for your children is important. Early childhood is such an important time in life, and finding quality care can be hard to come across. It is important to find a center that has the same beliefs and philosophies as your own, and by observing centers you can learn which is the best fit for your child. I highly recommend families and caregivers learn more about Lighthouse Academy. I hope that by writing this review I will convince people to visit Lighthouse Academy so they can see for their selves how wonderful of a place it is.
