Our daughter (5) has been at Maple Tree since Jan 3rd. What a wonderful school!…read more We moved and having to change schools is tough on a little one. Maple Tree felt right from the second we went to visit. We looked at about a dozen montessori preschools and there wasn't a better one. We looked in Glen Ellyn, Downers, Lombard... The school itself is adorable. It is quiet and peaceful and clean. The student/teacher ratio is very low. We were made to feel very welcome from the first day. The directress Jean Gottlieb is such a sweet and caring woman. She clearly loves children and understands child developement. She has been willing to answer questions, give advice and simply listen to parenting and educational concerns. The school has organic lunch catered in for the children, with vegetarian options, and prides itself on being earth friendy and passing those values on to the children. They are nut free and don't allow sugary snacks...this is a huge change from what we were used to, but I love it! All this and we can already see learning in leaps and bounds. Our daughter has started reading and understanding concepts in math that she wasn't before. We are thrilled to have found Maple Tree. If only we could have been there from the beginning!

It doesn't feel like a "kid factory" like so many others we visited. We love the small classrooms and having 3 teachers to 8 infants is a huge selling point. We love the webcam and you can see the teachers and how hard they work every day! Constantly playing with the babies, cleaning, picking up and providing one on one attention when ever possible to each child. You pay a little more but the quality of care and education for us, has been worth it. When she gets a little older, we are excited about the lunch menu! All organic with an amazing variety of fruits and veggies- not carb centric but still kid friendly! My husband and I wish we could eat here! :)

Our little one LOVES coming to school- she squeals in excitement when we pull up, and rushes to the door to see Ms. Karen and Mr. Paul in the morning. She giggles and is so proud of herself in the afternoon waving goodbye to Ms. Serenity and her teachers, with her little "bye bye". Ms. Sheila and Ms. Tamilla in the infant room take such amazing care of her, that most days she doesn't want to come home! She absolutely loves being at school with her teachers and friends, and that says SO much about the staff and their dedication to the children. We can't imagine a better place to take care of our little girl as she grows up. We have gotten so many compliments on how well socialized she is- and we credit LKLC and their amazing team every time. We couldn't have been on this journey without you! THANK YOU is not nearly enough, but we thank you from the bottom of our hearts for all you do not just for our little girl, but for all the children in your care.

My son has been at LKLC since September '22 and we have enjoyed our experience…read more He has learned so many new and interesting things and Ms. Amanda has been a great Pre-K teacher! You can tell she really cares about the kids and she is great with communicating about the milestones and set backs that my son experiences. As a Mom, I appreciate the communication that I receive, whether it is in person, via the App, or e-mail. Ms. Serenity is great about responding to all questions with a friendly attitude and urgency. I have trusted my Son to learn and grow at LKLC and have not been disappointed! Thank you! Rachel

We are so fortunate to have found them years ago by neighborhood recommendation. We have personally referred several others. Miss Kim and her staff are absolutely wonderful! My children have gone through almost every room in the facility and each one has been exceptional. The staff has been consistent throughout our time there which says a LOT. There is very little turn over keeping the learning environment for the children a top priority. Most daycare facilities cannot say the same. One of our children had some significant health issues at one point and the center was on top of it. Another has an anaphylactic allergy and I never worry about his allergy. My children's education and emotional well-being has always been approached with respect, care, and an enormous amount of experience. This week we will be ending our daycare journey as we are aging into kindergarten with our youngest. I've teared up several times already. It will be bittersweet leaving our children's home away from home. 10/5 stars. Cannot recommend enough.

I had a similar experience years ago like the one below. I did not feel as if my daughters needs…read morewere being met by this facility. I expressed my concerns and felt as if i received the same results as Kurt C. I have since been in contact with schools that function like a proper Montessori school. The curriculum and staff are entirely different from this location, they are involved and successful with the children, unlike this location. Looking back I cannot believe I put my child in the care of the staff at Montessori of Woodridge. I have to say I felt they were understaffed as well. Every location my children have been to is far different in the overall function of routine. My daughter is receptive to the schools curriculum and staff. Again looking back I can see how unhappy she was at the Woodridge location. Anyone reading this should really take these opinions to thought and make sure the school you put your child in is honest and upholds their integrity to heart for the sake of the children that attend.

I am appalled at the quality of caregivers hired at this location. Recently this facility was…read morewritten up by DCFS for non certified workers. Following that incident, phone calls at last minute announcing daycare closure in infant room for the day due to staffing shortages were received. Finally, this past week, a worker in the infant room did not feed our children their afternoon bottles. The last straw was this past week when deep thumb and finger bruises were found on our 6 mo old child's leg. After calls were made to the Kindercare center, other professionals had to be involved. Both the pediatrician and DCFS stated it was due to adult female grabbing his leg and dragging him on floor. A police report was filed.

This is a reviewed based on my experience touring as a potential parent of the school…read more We filled out the form online to have someone contact us to set up a tour. I got an email saying to email someone at the school. I did and we echanged emails back and forth to align to a time to meet. When we arrived, my disappointment started. Unfortunately, the assistant director who gave us the tour (as well as most of the staff members) were very sloppily dressed (oversized jeans, hoodie, nose ring.) First impressions are everything and I couldn't shake this. We toured the rooms and got the run down of the way things work there. I didn't like the facility at all - it was old, kind of dingy and the "rooms" are actually two rooms combined into one with a half wall between them which must make it legal. So, the two infant rooms are actually one room with a divider wall. To me, it was too germy. Also, one of the teachers smelled so badly like smoke and I couldn't imagine her holding our child smelling like that. In general, this place needs polish - both in the facility and with the staff. I am sure they are caring and loving teachers but first impressions matter especially to a picky first time parent who is looking to spend nearly $1500 a month on daycare. Cost wise, they were only $2 less a day (for the infant room) than the daycare we choose which is brand new, clean and bright.
