    Poko Loko Glenview is just a delightful place for little children. Upon walking in, you almost feel…read morelike you are being transported into a Mr. Rogers episode! There's color everywhere, a train track suspended from the ceiling, a piano, and many smiling faces. My daughter attended the Jr. KG class for only a month or so and really loved her teachers! They focus on various themes and split their day up nicely between learning and playing! Although we know learning does take place while playing. Haha! They have an attached outdoor playground, which is nice! Breakfast is provided if your child gets there by 8. Lunch and snacks are also provided. It is a nut free facility. Cubbies are clearly labeled if a child has an allergy! It is organized perfectly! Poko Loko definitely has a family vibe!

    We moved from LA to Chicago and chose Poko Loko due to the great reviews and convenient location…read more Our son is 3.5 years old and has had some speech delay due to bilateral ear infections and although we were approved for all services by the state of California, he didn't receive any of them due to COVID. Since we moved to Chicago we have been doing our very best and paying out of pocket for him to get speech and occupational therapy. After just 2 months at Poko Loko and 3 separate instances of being called to pick up our son early due to screaming and hitting another child (he's 3 years old) we were patronizingly told by the owner Bonnie "in 52 years of experience I've only had to ask 2 other children to leave. You have until Fall." Statements like that aren't helpful, they make me feel bad about my son, and they are unprofessional. I seriously doubt that my son is the only difficult child they've had, and if so, then their experience is worthless, because they are unwilling to help or even give him time to settle in from a major transition like moving across the country. Before we were asked to leave the center, the manager and owner made no effort to guide us (52 years of experience right?), come up with an action plan, and offered no insight on local resources to help our son. They wanted us out. This review primarily addresses the Owner and manager. The teachers tried. The moral of the story is that they are simply looking for a frictionless tuition check while making little effort to actually help the parents and children. All while charging top dollar rates. I am very disappointed in the unprofessionalism and the downright rude way in which we were asked to leave the center. I made it known that the next time a child needs some help, offering more support and guidance using their years of experience might help the parents and kid more than a simple goodbye.

    Kensington holds extremely high standards for employees. There is a vigorous screening and…read moreinterview process in order to be considered for a position, and once hired there is high expectations of staff. However, because of this, it is an extremely professional and enriching setting. Kensington teachers are also the highest paid in the field. They are thought of as educators, not just babysitters or daycare workers. As Kensington expands, it offers substantial opportunities for growth. There's no other early learning center like it. The Glenview location has a group of amazing women who care so deeply about the education and all around growth of their children. These girls are the best of the best! I chose to enroll my two children here because the curriculum is so rich. Kensington offers top of the line learning experiences and opportunities that we would not be able to find anywhere else. I am also extremely impressed with how Kensington has stepped up during the Covid shutdown. They are offering Zoom learning at least twice a week for each class, plus enrichment classes. We get multiple weekly "learning from home newsletters" with brilliant and easy to do ideas for home. There is constant communication with Directors and the teachers. They are doing all this while not charging for tuition. It's obvious that they truly care about the children.

A women walked up and said she was looking to enroll her child there and also the same age gap as my child. The women who worked there right away said "yes I have one more spot for your 3 year old. Let me get you the paperwork." I was furious. Maybe it was my race, or because I wasn't dressed at their level. Most horrible experience.

    My 3 and 1/2 year old daugher started attending Glenview Community Church Nursery School a few…read moreweeks ago. We transferred her from a preschool daycare facility and I could not be happier with the move. The Director and teachers are wonderful and have made the transition so easy for my daughter. She is in the Multi-aged afternoon class and I like that she interacts with both 3 and 4 year olds. Everyone is so nice! All of the parents have been so welcoming and have gone out of their way to make sure I am informed. I highly recommend sending your preschooler to GCCNS!

The teaching staff is so caring, dedicated and experienced working with preschoolers. The school has been one of the finest in Glenview for over 60 years and is NAEYC accreditated - and not all preschools are. My kids have made lasting friendships at GCCNS and I"ve met some of my best friends there too! It is a great sense of community at the school and they have many terrific programs for the entire family, including a Run Back to School Fun Run and annual ski trip!

The teachers are attentive and the curriculum is more than I expected from a daycare. A huge plus is the homemade food for their lunches. I'm so glad this place was recommended to us.

My daughter has been attending for almost a year…read more She started in the under 2 year olds group and moved up to the 2-3 year olds class at beginning 2024. Not only were her teachers in both classrooms amazing in helping her grow, they were truly instrumental in her transitioning smoothly to a big sister at home. She has learned so much in the classroom but also immensely increased her social skills and having fun with friends! One thing I really love about Dreamers is, the other childcare professionals, not just my child's direct teachers, all know her by name and clearly love and care for her. We are starting new baby in the infant room next year and are not nervous (although bittersweet) in leaving her in the capable hands of Dreamers.
