He was so happy and had so much fun! Ms. Christine, the site director, is really quick at responding to emails- she's absolutely amazing! As a helicopter parent, I definitely felt comfortable with sending my son to this Catalyst Kids and know that my child is well cared for and happy! Thank you Catalyst Kids Orchard Hills for a fun summer!

My daughter has been attending this CDC for a year now. She loves it. The teachers (Rachel and…read moreAlicia) are wonderful and the director Amanda is great. They make it feel like a home away from home. I like to know that my daughter is in a safe place where she can do homework and hang out with some friends after school. They have great snacks and I LOVE that they have sport activities. They are often outside playing some kind of sports when I arrive to pick up. Rachel has also organized teams within the CDC to compete against other CDC's in the area. My daughter loves this. She played on the soccer and volleyball teams. Overall this is a wonderful place for kids to come after school.

The staff…read morewas always friendly whenever I came in for their summer camps, and always made me feel welcome. It is a great place for parents to allow their kids to stay after school on a daily basis, or to take sign them up for exciting summer camps! One of the many benefits of bringing your child to Myford's CDC is the exposure they will get to other kids. The CDC will watch over children from Kindergarten to 5th grade, and this program will expose them to students they do not normally see during the school day! Be aware of the age limits for Myford's CDC, as the staff has very strict regulations, but overall excellent program!

If I could give zero stars, I would…read more Every concern is met with gaslighting and blame shifting instead of accountability. My child was once mistakenly marked absent and then denied her school lunch despite being clearly present. Rather than acknowledging the mistake and addressing how something like that could happen, the focus immediately became that my "words made staff uncomfortable." The same pattern repeated when trying to address failure to accommodate my child's documented doctor's orders. Instead of solutions or collaboration, concerns were reframed as me somehow violating policy or making staff uncomfortable. Even basic concerns about teacher behavior are turned back around onto the parent rather than handled professionally. Management is extremely difficult to deal with because ELOP operates separately from IUSD, and unfortunately the standards, professionalism, communication, and accountability feel significantly lower as a result. Parents should understand that raising concerns here often feels less like working with a child centered program and more like navigating defensiveness, excuses, and policy shielding.

We have been so happy with Everbrook Academy! My daughter is in TK and absolutely loves her…read moreteacher, Miss Kat. You can tell that the teachers genuinely care about the kids, and that means so much to us. The principal and staff are always welcoming, open, and easy to talk to. There are so many fun activities throughout the day, and I love seeing how much thought goes into keeping the kids engaged and excited to learn. My daughter never complains about going to school -- she genuinely enjoys being there! The school is also very clean and feels safe and well cared for. Another huge plus is that all of the food is included, and we've been really impressed with the quality and variety. Most importantly, my daughter is happy, comfortable, and excited about school. We feel really good dropping her off every day and are so happy we chose Everbrook!

He was…read moreonly 2 at the time and his teacher Ms. Sarah was just amazing at welcoming him into the school and getting him potty trained! Such a win for us! He moved to Ms. Jamila and Ms. Erica's preschool class when he turned 3 and they have done so much to help him grow. He's now headed into TK and we are so excited for his next steps in this school! Honestly, the whole staff has been so helpful and friendly! And they all know my son, even if they never taught him or had him in class! They all feel like family! They offer food on campus and that has been a life saver! Their chef is just the sweetest and makes all my son's favorites. They also provided diapers and wipes. He also LOVES the dance class (Dancing in Harmony). Everbrook also offered Spanish class, phonics and soccer too. We also have enjoyed every parent event and have really formed a community of friends! I would recommend this preschool to anyone looking for somewhere their child would thrive and be loved!

We absolutely love CREEKERS. Ellen, the founder, is fantastic -- warm, hands-on, and clearly…read morededicated to creating a safe and fun space for kids. We've been part of the CREEKERS Club during the school year and summer, and our child always looks forward to going. The instructors are great -- they know the kids by name, they're attentive, and they're always nearby, keeping an eye on things while staying involved. Whether it's indoor games, arts and crafts, or outdoor play like kickball, handball, jump rope, or their own custom CREEKERS-style games, there's always something active and engaging happening. I asked my child what she thinks of the instructors, and she had nothing but good things to say. And we've even met other parents who were part of CREEKERS nearly 30 years ago -- that kind of loyalty says a lot about the program and the people behind it. Huge thanks to Ellen and the entire CREEKERS team. You've built something special, and we're grateful to be part of it.

The staff was incredibly caring, fostering not only a safe environment but also instilling valuable life lessons in our boys. They nurtured their behavior, character, and love for learning in such a positive way. Our sons will always carry the lessons and joy they experienced at Creekers. Thank you to everyone who made this such an amazing place for them! We're now in Arizona where I still meet families from Irvine that want to purchase a home here in AZ. Some actually had kids that attended Creekers. Small world. Elen and big Ben...the BEST! Thanks again.

Our younger child started at GSP from six months old, and looking back, choosing GSP was definitely one of the best decisions we made. We would love to share our positive experiences and help spread the word about how special GSP truly is! It is definitely a safe and loving environment. The teacher to kid ratio is very good. Every teacher we have met here is genuinely caring and loving. The staff and front office have always been supportive, providing prompt and thoughtful responses to our requests. We will deeply miss the warm smiles we saw everywhere on campus, the birthday celebrations for kiddos at chapel, the lovely holiday gifts from the classrooms, and every page of the yearbook so thoughtfully customized for each child!

The real-time video, photos, and daily updates through their app gave us constant visibility into activities, meals, and my child's day-to-day routine. The teachers and administrative staff were consistently warm and welcoming. My child attended from age 2 until nearly 5, and in that time we went through potty training, enjoyed summer camps, and grew so much under the care of the teachers, all of whom are adored. Thank you to the entire Tutor Time staff for creating such a nurturing environment for our kiddo.

We've been part of the Tutor Time family since my daughter was about 5 months old until she was…read moreabout 2.5 years and we've truly loved every stage of her journey here. From the infant room to early preschool, every teacher has shown so much care, patience, and dedication. Our son is now attending, and it already feels like a second home for him too. As a mother who was anxious about his bottle feeding, I'm so grateful for the patience and understanding the teachers have shown. Ms. Cynthia, Ms. Nadia, Ms. Suez, and Ms. Bea have been incredibly supportive and nurturing, helping him adjust and making me feel reassured that he is eating throughout the day. We love how every teacher invests in our children's growth- emotionally, socially, and academically. The front staff (Cynthia, Jennifer, and Deepal) are always welcoming, organized, and helpful. Each classroom has been a wonderful experience: Infants: Ms. Nadia, Ms. Suez, and Ms. Bea are so nurturing and gentle. They also take the cutest photos and will sometimes do cute activities with the little ones. Toddlers: Ms. Afsie, Ms. Hoda, Ms. Elizabeth, and Ms. Allison has helped our daughter discover a love for circle time, books, and music. Twos: Ms. Nasima encouraged her to try new foods, enjoy creative crafts, and led lots of fun physical activities. She also took care of potty training which was a lifesaver! Early Preschool: Ms. Rena has brought learning to life with songs, dancing, alphabet lessons, and teaching the days and months of the year. She also has picnic days during the summer, which my daughter would always talk about. She would bring home the cutest crafts which are displayed throughout the home. Tutor Time also makes things so easy for parents. From the toddler class onward, they provide meals, snacks, and even diapers, which is such a huge help. They also offer camera access and a parent app that makes it simple to communicate with teachers and stay updated throughout the day -- such a thoughtful touch for busy parents! I apologize if I missed any other teachers who have been a part of my child's academic and personal growth. We truly appreciate every one of you! We've had such a positive experience and can't wait to see how our second child grows and thrives here, too. Tutor Time has truly been a wonderful part of our family's early years!
