Noah's Ark has been a wonderful fit for our family. The center is clean and organized and strictly…read morefollows state guidelines. I have had no concerns over my child's safety or well-being while attending the Ark. The staff all knew my child's name (even the ones who do not work in his class) within a week and greet him by name when we walk in. During the COVID shutdowns, the center was very flexible and showed exceptional willingness to with work families who were financially impacted. The teachers and staff at the Ark are exceptionally caring and compassionate. They are phenomenal teachers but also just amazing caregivers. If you are looking for a cold, institutional feeling childcare center, this is not the place for you. The Ark feels more like a family. I've watched several children, mine included, greet their teachers with hugs in the morning, and I've seen teachers brushing and braiding little girls' hair. Small details like that show me how much passion the teachers have for their jobs and love they have for the students. Academically, my child has excelled. He is excited about learning and has picked up some impressive social and emotional skills. The center itself is not fancy or state of the art, but it always smells clean (like soap) and they have excellent age appropriate books, toys, and supplies in each room. The only thing I can say that's less than positive is that the Ark routinely as a long waitlist, so if you are looking to join them, you may need to plan ahead by a few months.

When we were looking for a daycare for our infant last year, we visited several providers in the…read morearea. In the end, we picked All 'Bout Children for their Outdoor Classroom Certification, bilingual curriculum, and partnership with Burleigh Elementary to provide before and after school care (he doesn't need it yet, but glad to know its an option). In the end, we have not been disappointed! The teaching staff is genuinely caring and engaged with the little guy's development. Not only do they take the time to answer all our questions (patiently), but we get daily updates in real-time on potties, feedings, and various other milestones - but the best part is they provide pictures almost daily which is a great treat when I'm at work thinking about him :) Their spots fill up quickly, but if you are looking for a new daycare, I recommend taking a tour.

Love this daycare. Feels like a home with teachers that are truly invested in the children. I am so…read morehappy I chose them to care for my boy while at work. Things I love: they send pictures and videos all day, they call and communicate often, they team with parents, they have activities that help develop their social, emotional, and physical growth, they are always outside exploring when the weather permits, and they show love and tlc to the children in their care. This preschool/daycare is truly a hidden gem.

Really great center. My daughter attended here in the infant's room.

During Covid, they were decisive in what actions they were taking and made all the families aware as things would change. Teachers were nice and my daughter was always excited to start her day with them. The only thing I wish was that they had more "nature" in their outdoor space. Would highly recommend anyone looking for a daycare center.

Glendale Heights was amazing with our son when he was 1 - the staff was very kind and helpful to…read moretwo new parents, and we had nothing but good experiences - singing nothing but praise for that time period. When he was 2, however, everything went sour. His particular flavor of AuDHD became more and more apparent, and it became increasingly clear that Glendale Heights possibly couldn't meet his needs anymore. Which is reasonable! So, after a number of days of bypassing their own "three strikes" policies and forcing us to pick him up early after a single minor incident (still charging us the full rate, mind you), they unceremoniously kicked him out without warning us that we were anywhere close to that possibly happening. Which, ok, I get from their perspective and communication could have been better - BUT. The reason this is a 1-star review and I won't recommend Glendale Heights to any other parents? Is because, for that last week that he was allowed to attend, it seems that he was told that he was being kicked out and it was _his_ fault, and not Glendale Heights' inability to accommodate his needs. For weeks, we had a 2-year-old constantly melting down every time he realized he did something wrong and _physically beating himself up_ for it. Who blames a 2-year-old like that? Who tells a 2-year-old they're a bad kid? We will forever regret sending our child to Glendale Heights.
