I have 2 children ages 4 and 14 and my children have ben in the daycare for over 10 years. Both children are extremely smart and as a parent of Little Castle, I am honored to say both my children were ready for kindergarten at the age of 4. My daughter started this childcare facility at 2 and was enrolled until she aged out after starting kindergarten at 4 and my son is still enrolled after he started at the age of 6 weeks and he is in preschool reading on a kindergarten level. I have never stressed about the safety of my children so if you need childcare in the Miller/Gary area, this is definitely the place to go.

We are now coming up on the end of our oldest child's first year at the school. The experience for him and for us has been fantastic in every way. The strength of this school is the people. The absolute dedication to the well-being and development of these children is obvious in every one I've interacted with. Even beyond their commitment to education, you immediately recognize that they authentically love and care for these kids. The high quality staff translates into a high quality environment. In their programming they do an excellent job of integrating fun play activities with structured learning and social time. We were especially drawn to the school's emphasis on Biblical teaching and values that infuses everything that they do. In addition to the superb learning environment, the school also does a wonderful job of engaging families which creates a positive community feel. When you add of these amazing traits (and so much more), you get a second-to-none early education experience for you kids. We are definitely planning on sending our second child as soon as she's old enough!

The infant room and toddler room teachers were so great and my son would reach and run to them! He developed so much while he was there. They made the transition from infant to toddler room as easy as possible and were so patient with us (first time mom over here). They handled incidents with care and sensitivity - things do happen but Premier handled the incidents carefully and were always transparent. All of the teachers, aids, and office staff know the kids so well. My son lights up when we walk in and the front desk staff greet him everyday like he's royalty!! We are moving and I am devastated to pull our son from here. Highly recommend!

I rarely leave negative reviews, but I feel it's important to share my experience.Unfortunately,…read moreafter an incident involving my son and the way it was handled afterward, I no longer feel comfortable continuing care here.Before the most recent incident, I had already experienced concerns regarding my son's care. There were multiple times when my son came home with small marks on his face, and I was not given an explanation as to how they kept occurring. After I brought these concerns to the center's attention, those incidents appeared to stop. While I appreciate that the concern was addressed once it was brought forward, it added to my overall concern regarding my son's safety and supervision while in their care.My biggest concern was my son's head injury and the response following the incident. After reviewing the video, I became concerned about what occurred and how the situation was documented by the teacher.The incident report written by my son's teacher, stated that my son started to hit her and that she raised her hands to stop him, which caused him to fall. However, after reviewing the video, that is not what occurred.What the video showed was my son running up to the teacher in a playful manner. He placed his hand on her stomach area, appearing as though he wanted to be picked up, and his hand was there for only a moment or two when then Ms.karlie grabbed both of his hands, my son slightly leaned back, and she then let go of both of his hands while staring directly at him . There was no attempt to even try to catch him as he was falling backwards. As an adult supervising a young child, I would expect that a 39 pound child's weight shifting backward would be noticeable, especially while holding onto their hands. This is why I was concerned that his hands were released while he was leaning back, resulting in him falling backward and hitting the back of his head causing a shell to pierce through his head and bleed. The video did not show my son being aggressive or attempting to hit her, and it did not show her raising her hands to block him as described in the report she wrote .After he fell, the video showed my son crying holding his head and walking back toward the teacher to be consoled. What was concerning to me was that his head was not immediately checked after the fall, and staff did not appear to realize that he had a bleeding injury until later. As a parent, I would expect an immediate assessment after a child hits the back of their head as well as me being directly notified of an head injury that involved him falling straight back on his head. What was most concerning to me was that, after the owner reviewed the information, she did not acknowledge the discrepancy between what the teacher stated and the video or address my concerns regarding the inaccurate account that had been documented by the teacher. This made me feel that the seriousness of the situation and the impact of an inaccurate report involving my child were not fully recognized. I was also concerned when my son came home telling me that his hair "looked crazy." While this may seem like a small comment, it raised concerns for me as a parent because I wondered where my 2 year heard that and whether comments were being made about his appearance while he was at school.Recently, my son has also started crying at drop off. The concerns I experienced, including the incident report and the comment regarding his hair, made me question whether my son's individuality and differences were being fully respected while in their care.I contacted the center regarding my deposit and explained that, due to the incident, I did not feel comfortable keeping my child their for the required two-week notice period . I reached out to discuss receiving my deposit back, but I never received a response back or any follow-up regarding my request from the owner.As a parent, my child's safety and being able to trust the people caring for him are my top priorities. Unfortunately, this experience left me feeling unheard and uncomfortable continuing care at this center

I…read morework at Huntington in Chicago so when she told me they were charging for service I told her it was a good deal as we charge more. My niece had previously attended Sylvan when she was in primary school so she was familiar with them. My sister contracted with them to provide Subject tutoring (chemistry) for my niece. There was a delay to the start as my niece plays basketball for her school. By the time the basketball practice schedule came out several days had passed for which my sister told them way ahead of time. Eventually it reached the point where there was no way the schedules was going to gel so my sister canceled totally. The first person she talked to said she couldn't get a refund because Sylvan had created a schedule. Yes that's right she couldn't get a refund because Sylvan HAD CREATED A SCHEDULE. Not that she had attended a session. No, no, no. Not that she had called at the last minute to cancel. No no no. Not that she had no called no show. No no no. She had never attended a session at all. They felt they were due the money because THEY HAD CREATED A SCHEDULE! The second person she talked to, one Stephanie Miller who claimed to be the owner of that Franchise was condescending, Rude and extremely dismissive. "I am the top of the chain of command and there will be no refund issued because we created a schedule for her. It doesn't matter that she never attended." We don't know if there were great tutors there able to help my niece or understand chemistry because SHE NEVER ATTENDED. There probably were. The bottom line is this if you feel like giving money to Sylvan for nothing then go right ahead call Sylvan. My sister didn't buy that many hours but some people pay more and to get told that there is no refund because they created a paper schedule is fair out and out ridiculous. The ultimate in Greedy Grasping Money Hungry business. If you could call it a business. And one Stephanie Miller with her condescending attitude is that me to be avoided at all cost. Customers mean nothing to her except an open bank account.
