Our children have blossomed--gaining early math and reading skills, but more importantly, developing a real love for learning. The Montessori approach here is authentic and well-implemented, with beautiful materials and a calm, respectful environment. We especially appreciate the focus on social-emotional growth and the strong sense of community. It's a place where our child feels safe and supported. Highly recommend for any family looking for a thoughtful, nurturing start to their child's education.

She leans on policy and punitive measures rather than developing intelligent, active, curious children. She hands out $20 late-fee notices down pick up line if you're a minute late. She hands out incident reports for every single interaction your toddler has that is negative. Pinching a teacher. Pouting and not listening. Blowing raspberries. Our kid was two. We don't need paperwork because she blew raspberries. Needless to say, we didn't make it through the school year. They're uneducated in childhood development and would rather place blame around, particularly on the children, than work with families to develop healthy kids. Do not go here!

All the teachers are genuinely invested in the growth and wellbeing of my kids. Both my kiddos LOVE/D going to preschool. I was actually really sad when my oldest had to move on to kindergarten and I'll be sad again when my youngest has to move on to kindergarten as well. I've actually never seen a better group of teachers that love my children as if they were their own. We were so blessed to find this preschool when we moved to the area. My only complaint is they are only preschool. I'd pay good tuition to send my kids there through elementary years too.

Hi @Melissa penny lanes business director,…read more Since I can't reply back to your comment on my review I'll just write it here. Nothing, I wrote is inaccurate information. I totally understand that these reviews are very important for penny lanes business. This is why I took the time to write out the review. For parents seeking child care for their children and wanting to make the best decision. Actually, some of the things that you stated in your reply was very inaccurate such as my reason to leave the daycare. We left due to having so many incidents occur and the lack of incidents reports being made and also lack of accountability. Most of the time my daughter was sent home from daycare with cuts and bruises. Teachers were unable to explain what happened due to them "not being around" or "leaving early for the day" so she was left in the care of substitute teacher and no one in the daycare could find whichever "substitute teacher "was in the class in at the time to explain the constant injuries. Also, on August 11th I was called into penny lanes due to my child having a busted lip and chipped tooth. I expressed my concerns to the director of the daycare Ms.Laura she responded back to me and let me know if I wanted my child to not have so many incidents I needed a nanny. Which I was completely token back by. I understand things happen in a daycare but as a director for that to be the response back to a concern parent is very insensitive. Also, to double back to the abrupt departure. Laura allow us to leave without putting in the 2 week notice due to not us moving but me being so uncomfortable with my child being enrolled under you guys care second longer. Her last day was that Thursday morning November 6th due to another unreported incident. My daughter was enrolled in for a year. I have never once received a weekly paper meal plan in advance. My child was there 5 days a week and 8-8.5 hrs a day. So I understand that health and safety is the utmost importance but it's seems like the ball was dropped multiple times with my child. Also, is always a lack of accountability. This is not the blame game. If I'm paying for a good quality daycare I expect the best quality health and safety for my child. I left the review for parents to understand that penny lanes daycare of oak lawn does not provide this experience for each and every child. Also, if you need for me to provide any proof I can. Thank you. -Brianna Boyce

Penny Lane school in Oak Lawn exceeds every expectation we had as parents. From the moment we…read morewalked through those red doors, the environment is warm, clean and thoughtfully designed to make children feel safe, engaged and genuinely happy. What I love most about this place is their staff, their level of care, patience, and attentiveness goes far beyond what we could have hoped for. Its rare to find a place that combines such high standards with genuine heart, but Penny lane (Oak Lawn) does exactly that. We are incredibly fortunate to have found them and would recommend them wholeheartedly to any parent looking for exceptional care. I currently, have 3 of my kids enrolled there. 2 of them in daycare and 1 in their before and after school care. We also leverage their summer camp program. We love Penny Lane, Oak Lawn!

My experience started out positively, but that changed after I picked my child up one day and…read morenoticed a bruise on her back. I was very concerned because no one informed me about how it happened. When I arrived for pickup, Ms. Variah and another staff member were already dressed and prepared to leave, but my child was not ready to go. As a parent, I expect my child to be prepared for pickup in a timely manner so that we can all be ready to go. Another concern I had was that my child consistently did not want to attend this daycare when I dropped her off, which raised red flags for me. Since transferring to her new school, she no longer reacts that way. She enjoys going, is doing very well, and her teachers have shared positive feedback about her. As a parent, my priority is making sure my child feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for whenever she is away from me. I do not tolerate disrespectful treatment or anything that puts my child's well-being into question. Based on my experience, I chose to enroll her elsewhere, and I believe the center would benefit from hiring more professional staff and improving communication with parents. Have a nice life.
