He immediately communicated that he identified mold he discussed next steps for remediation with us. The next week, David's team returned to remove the affected drywall and flooring. During the remediation process, the team was very communicative and they were careful to limit the extent of their remediation to only the affected materials. Additionally, we appreciated their efforts to protect the non-affected areas of our home and their diligent cleaning process. David and his team also took several pictures to document their findings, which was very helpful when we navigated the insurance claims process. After the initial mold remediation phase, David was very accessible and helpful as we tried to identify the source of the moisture and mold. After we thought we addressed the source, we hired David and his team to perform the drywall re-installation and painting. During the drywall repair phase, David and his team helped us identify the true cause of the moisture, which was a plumbing issue. David and his team quickly alerted us to this issue as they were performing the repairs and paused their work so we could address the plumbing issue before proceeding. Ultimately, the drywall repairs and painting were completed the following week and they didn't charge us additional fees for the unforeseen project delay and rescheduling. Once again, we were very happy with the quality of the work performed and the team's diligent cleaning process. Even after all of the work was completed, David was very helpful and responsive as we navigated the insurance claims process. Overall, we're glad that we hired Moldman to help us address this stressful situation and we highly recommend their services.

[This review is for the Bronzeville location]…read more Bottom line: We ADORE this daycare/preschool. We started sending our son when he was around 17-18 months. I was SO nervous about the transition because he was a Covid baby and we had nannies up until that point, but it became abundantly clear very quickly that he is thriving under the care of Sandra, Adriana, and his teachers. They work very hard to make sure each kid is well cared for and comfortable at school. LTL offers dual language (Spanish and French) immersion instruction and care, and it's amazing to see how quickly the kids adapt and learn new languages and skills. They are Montossori-inspired, but more academic-focused. The teachers create a curriculum each week. What really impresses me is their philosophy that kids are extremely capable and oftentimes it's adults that underestimate them. For example, LTL reached out to us when our son was around 20-21 months old to start potty training. Everyone we knew thought it was crazy and it was far too soon, but sure enough, after following LTL's guide, our son was potty trained within a couple of months and well before his 2nd birthday. I HIGHLY recommend this daycare. It's certainly not cheap, but for us, it's worth it. Other notes: - they use the Brightwheel app, which makes it a breeze to pay, send messages, etc. - they will post a picture/video daily so you can see what your child is doing that day - class sizes have been small (but this may be because Bronzeville is a newer location). Our son's class is 8-10 students with 2 instructors. - the Bronzeville location is right across from Dunbar park, and it's SO nice to have an accessible park and field for the kids to enjoy good weather and exercise!

That was validated by our experience at the school. Our daughter is speaking in Spanish and French. She is writing, learning to read, and singing in 3 languages! WGN did a little segment on LTL during February 2019, because there are no other Chicago daycares that teach this way and this well. The teachers love on the children and care about them deeply. The LTL community feels like a family. Sandra and Nana (the owners) go out of their way to ensure the children get a great education and are loved on. The daycare celebrates fun European holidays and has an annual World-vision Toddler Marathon, where the children get to run a race and learn about being compassionate and generous towards those with less.

After doing much research and touring different facilities we are so happy with The Nook. The director, Annette is so easy to talk to. She was very informative and gets back to you quickly with any questions or concerns. You can even find her tending to the kids as well! That showed us how much she loves the kids and always helping her staff. All of the teachers and assistants are great and take such great care of the children. Dropping her off in the morning and seeing how excited she gets to see them really puts our mind at ease and starts off our day on a good note - knowing she is in good hands. We are first time parents, and having to go back to work after maternity leave was difficult to deal with but the app, Brightwheel, they use for daily activities really helped me throughout the day and cope being without her. The app provides updates on meals, naps, diaper changes, activities and best of all updated pictures/videos! Seeing the smile on her face throughout the day really solidified that we made the right choice. I can't say how much we love this place and can't imagine our daughter anywhere else! I definitely would recommend The Nook South Loop if you are looking for a daycare with compassionate caregivers you can trust!

I had been eyeing this facility since I was pregnant. I was super excited to hear they had a spot…read moreavailable in mid-Feb. I immediately set up a tour with my little one. My husband wasn't able to come in-person, but I was able to video call him in for part of the tour. My son has been going here for almost 3 months now, so I feel a bit comfortable making this review. This review is only for the infant room 1 and geneal policies. The waitlist is free. The school requires two notice if you want to withdraw your child from their institution. You have to place a $500 deposit. This secures your child's spot and is returned once you provide the school 2 weeks' notice at the time of withdrawal. Mrs Maria is the lead teacher in Room 1. The other 3 teachers rotate in/out daily. The classroom is shoeless, or parents will have to wear booties inside the classroom. Each child has their own crib, cubby, slot in the fridge, and diaper/wipes cubby. Parents supply all food for the infant classroom. Parents supply diapers and wipes. Please note once your child enrolls in the toddler room, 15 months and up meals will be provided. All updates are communicated through the brightwheel app. Unfortunately, Rainforest does not use the brightwheel app for the toddler up rooms. From my understanding, parents are given updates on a sheet shared weekly, I believe. I will find out more once my little guy transitions in the next month. I will update my Yelp review to include the toddler room updates. Taylor, the director, and Veronica, the assistant, are usually the ones to communicate updates and will answer any questions! They are usually the ones communicating any health updates as they do not add those in the brightwheel app. My son has some sensory components, music, and Spanish language lessons weekly. Since he is mobile now, he can go to the playroom and crawl around. If the weather permits, the kiddos go outside for a bit to the park in the area and/or stroller. I wish they shared when what days they go out and pictures of them at the park. I receive a weekly newsletter with pictures of the babies in room 1. Infant full-time tuition $2980 Toddler Full-time $2750 Toddler Part-time MWF - $2150 Toddler Part-time T&Th- $1720 What I love about this place is the open door policy!!! During the warmer months, the facility restricts drop-offs from 9-11 am because the kiddos are outside. It makes scheduling doctors' appointments a breeze! They are also very flexible with allowing therapist onsite. When I message them that we are on our way to pick up my child, they have him ready with a clean diaper!!!!!! I have a few issues with this facility. There is no nursing/lactation room. They have a staff bathroom, but you don't want to feed your child in there. The one time I had a virtual appointment because I wanted to include the lead teacher, we had to do it in the lobby. Taylor explained they had testing go on, so I couldn't use the office. So they don't have much space, although the facility is pretty big. Health updates about my son are communicated verbally, which can be confusing when speaking with various staff. My son is continously sick! They change the sheets weekly, which I think they should do it daily!

- First and foremost, your child will learning nothing here. This place is nothing more than a…read moregroup babysitting. - Used, unstable and often dangerous furnitures. Pianos that are so old and poorly taken care of. Doubt anyone's ever played... yet it's there... completely as a show. - Very limited and torn books. Our daughter's class (2 year old) had maybe 10. Often times one book gets torn in two and becomes two books. Most likely all second hand. - Photo equipment in the common area (place is a dump). They use it like their storage space. Photography tripods, umbrellas, lighting gear... many with sharp edges and can be toppled over with ease. Very little regard to children's safety. - Broken doors that never get fixed. In my daughter's class, they were able to just push the door open and wander into this common area filled with above mentioned photo gear. They only fixed it after 8 weeks and 6 complaints later. This would be unacceptable for an apartment complex, let alone a day care. Again, very little, if any, regard to kids' safety. Every time I asked, they simply said the contractor is coming out next week. Got this same answer 3 times. - Owner/managers (Jessica and Jason) have very little understanding of kids and there's a clear disconnect with parents. I've tried many times to ask for more open communication and transparency. Overall a very negative experience. - They pretend to be art/music education driven "program". This is grossly inaccurate. Kids are hardly ever exposed to art/music. They use this simply as a marketing tool. Before every "art show" you can see the teachers working diligently putting together "kids" art pieces. Decorating them and hanging them. Then, those art pieces spend next 6 months on walls to mislead prospective parents into thinking this is a place of learning. Absolutely horrible. - No wait list. They sold this to us as a good thing. It was nice to hear "if you want, you can start next week" but at what cost? They pre-maturely shuffle kids around to make it fit. Our daughter was moved up twice in the span of 2 months to make room for other younger kids. Once again, looking after their profitability before the child's well-being. Making her adjust to 2 more new faces yet again. In less than a year, our daughter's had 4 different "baby-sitters". Have a hard time calling them teachers. - My daughter cried every time I dropped her off... for almost a year... when speaking with other parents (from other day care facilities) their kids love their teachers and do not mind being dropped of in the mornings. I still know several people that currently go to Rainforest and ... same deal. - They closed for 2 days for Christmas. When asked why they were closing on Friday (day before Christmas eve), their rationale was "we were planning on closing for 3 days (Friday, Monday and Tuesday) but we've shortened it" and "we need a vacation too." Called around other daycares in the Chicagoland area and they were the only one to close. It was highly irresponsible and again showed their disconnect with parents. - Their joke of an outside door. The outside door acts as a first layer of defense against predators and other elements. There's no clear view from where they are buzzing people in. In other words, a guy wielding a *insert weapon here* would have just as easy of a time getting in as someone holding a diaper bag. On top of that, they often leave their "buzzing" post unmanned... leaving parents waiting in the rain outside. - Once caught one of the "babysitters" angrily scolding a two year old. I told her to stop and that they are still just kids and she simply responded, "trust me, they understand." - I like watching my daughter interact with other kids. So, often times, I stand by the door and watch for a little while before going in to pick her up. This one afternoon, the babysitter was reading everyone a book. I can see our daughter was bothering another child. Without looking up from her book, the babysitter shoved our daughter onto the floor. Then, continued to read as my daughter fell to the floor crying. I don't mind her telling my daughter to stop bothering others. I don't mind her physically separating them. I don't mind her giving her time out. But to separate them so violently and not bothering tell her why she was being punished is an assault. This is the same "babysitter" I caught scolding another child (previous bullet point). She really has no business being around kids... but what do they care.. she's minimum wage.

They were aware of it as they removed the piece from the porch. When the business owner got in touch with my husband and asked him to leave them a good review, my husband mentioned this chip. No response. I reached out through their business website to also tell them, and crickets. This disappointed me and was not very professional.
