    My son just finished his first month and so far, this is everything we were hoping to find in an…read moreearly learning center. The facilities are always clean, the kids are well cared for, and they've created such a nurturing environment. The food quality and curriculum are also top notch. This is my son's first time receiving care outside of the home and the transition has been easier than we dared to hope for. I went to pick him up early on the first day and he was having such a great time he asked to stay the entire day! We're thrilled to have such a great preschool program!

    I don't typically feel compelled to leave reviews for things, but in searching for child care for…read moremy firstborn son I was so nervous about making the right decision and I have been blown away by how much I love Little Inspirations. My now 10 month old goes to Little Inspirations Central Hyde Park campus and they have been an absolutely wonderful part of my "village." They were so kind as I made the transition back to work and to sending him to daycare. As a new mom, it was so hard for me to be away from my baby and they reassured me that I could come anytime and even potentially come in to breastfeed during my lunch break if desired. They will never truly know how much it meant to me that they were so willing to make the transition as slow as I needed. Not only this, but they were also instrumental in getting my son to try many different foods and accustomed to solid foods. Chef Andrius prepares delicious meals and snacks that my son seems to really enjoy! This was also a huge help! Fast forward and I now almost feel bad picking up my son because I know he is having so much with all of his teachers and fellow Wiggly Worms! At drop off, he lights up when he sees Ms. Antoinette and at pick up I get to see him smiling and having fun after another great day at school. All the teachers (from other rooms, too!) and directors know his name and our family. It is just such a warm and caring environment. I never thought I would reach the place to be raving about daycare on a review page, but here we are! They also incorporate Family Fun days which have been so wonderful. We got to see our baby in his element and meet the other teachers and parents, too. Now my only concern is what I will ever do WITHOUT Little Inspirations some day! If you are searching for childcare in the area, do not hesitate to send your child to Little Inspirations. I really cannot speak more highly of them for truly the most important of choices to make for your child. Kudos to the directors and teachers - I could not have personally selected more wonderful people to take care of my son!

    This school was the worst choice I made as a parent. My son was there for first grade. My…read moreexperience was nothing but negative. Please believe that the image they portray on social media is not the experience your child will have. They punish children inappropriately to age. Silent lunches are common and given for very minor instances along with heads down for 15 minutes for 6 and 7 year olds. They allow punishing a whole class when 1 child does wrong. They treat children like robots rather than people. His teacher was inexperienced and passive aggressive. She told the children they couldn't go to the bathroom except when she took them and was "tired of them asking". My child was terrified to ask questions or do something wrong. The children were made to feel "dumb" if they didn't know something. It diminished not only his self esteem and confidence but other children in his class. His tests scores dropped dramatically in his time there. The children were put on ipads for 30-45 minutes a day. Principal and assistant principal are unresponsive. The grading system was wrong almost the entire year and no one knew how to fix it. They couldn't even say what was transferred to other schools even though the grading was filled with errors. All they care about is money. They send a million reminders on class dojo to remind everyone to pay tuition but fail to relay important information related to your childs' education. To top it off, you have to pay tuition in advance, when I pulled my child they wouldn't refund upfront payments. This was honestly the worst school I ever experienced and I am glad I got my son out of there regardless of the expense.

    I love this school I'm a student here and I'm in 4th grade but I love for some upgrades like add…read moreswings to the park

    The school over-delivers on its promises. According to the website, there are services that…read moreCambridge provides, but never delivers on its promises. The afterschool program is suppose to have engaging activites like puppetry, gym time, arts and crafts. There is no budget for the program. The teacher has to purchase materials from her own pocket. Students become so frustrated with the lack of engagement. The school promises an individualized learning plan, Spanish, drama and art. Spanish was never offered. I never saw an individized learning plan. The students do lots of worksheets throughout the day. The school also engages in practices that are not listed in the handbook. They charged parents with infractions for their students not wearing the entire uniform. Yet, this "monetary infraction" was never stated in the handbook.

    Honest review of Cambridge. This review is to provide you with info I wish I had when making my…read moreenrollment decision. There is both "good" and "not so good" at that school. There are some serious issues that I hope improves. But as a parent, do your research, ask prying questions, talk to current parents if you can. Teachers/Curriculum Great, our kids are challenged and growing educationally. Many of the teachers have a real passion for these children. Their hearts are in it and it shows! Culture Absolutely love the Christian component. You'll see kids praying at the start of class as well as weekly chapel with singing and praising Facilities/Staff Administration is lacking. School is largely unstaffed other than teachers. Many times I've shown up to school to pick kids up and have found them running through the hallways unsupervised. (Teachers go home at 3:30 sharp!) I know of at least one child that was seriously injured and knocked unconscious while playing unsupervised. Not secure/safe. The door has a buzzer and intercom but there is no way to verify who is entering the school. Press the intercom, they ask "who is it" and you can say almost anything, they will buzz you in. Not safe. A camera system should be added to the school, Amazon sells them for very cheap Gym Unheated in the winter time, uncooled in the summer time. VERY uncomfortable and there are no plans to correct the climate. Parents have voiced concerns about this for years but have been largely ignored by administration. In the summer time, the kids are walked to a nearby park (sometimes through an alley!!) where they were approached by dogs. Thankfully no one was injured Leadership (or lack thereof) There is no strong leadership presence at the school. Due to several scandals involving the current headmaster and inappropriate relationships with parents/staff, the board of the school is looking to replace him. Before the scandals, he seemed disconnected from the day 2 day anyway. Some days he's approachable, other days not so. It's unfortunate, because we're all paying for a private education and should feel comfortable in approaching leadership with questions and concerns. Even when concerns are shared, there is rarely any serious follow up, we don't even get an acknowledgement of "I have received your feedback" Just dead silence No lunch served You have to provide your own lunch - but there's no refrigerator for storage and no microwave for re-heating food. (Huh?!) This isn't 1984 Communication Issues Mid-year, rumors were spread regarding a large tuition increase. Parents sought out headmaster to find out if it was true. He avoided the topic and didn't address it for almost a month, forcing parents into the school's imposed re-enrollment deadline without information needed to make a re-enrollment decision. Then the headmaster held a meeting where he condescended and sniped at the parents, dodged questions, then ultimately confirmed the tuition increase. Apparently, the school is running a deep deficit. The "Cambridge Board" (consisting of the headmaster's dad, brother and cousin) were brought in to discuss tuition and integrity issues with school leadership and plans for the future. Tons of empty promises were given by the board, with no follow through or delivery Mass Exodus of current parents In talking with several parents in passing, communication issues, scandals, a disengaged headmaster who smiles on Mondays, condescends on Tuesdays, ignores parents on Wednesdays...is a bit too much. Many committed parents who have been at Cambridge for multiple years, have refused to reenroll their kids at Cambridge. Some parents have taken their kids out of school mid-year due to so many issues. The kindergarten class lost at least 4 students throughout the year Aftercare/Ambassador's club This is nothing more than a babysitting service where kids run around the gym, watch movies and sometimes do their homework. Many times, the homework is incorrect as the aftercare staff doesn't seemed equipped to help the children adequately. Overall, be careful of what's promised. Like the rest of the parents, you'll be told of all the grand things that will be offered to your child. Some of it will be delivered, but based on my experience, much of it won't.... Be careful, go in with your eyes wide open
