They have been taking excellent care of my infant daughter for several months. They attend to…read moreevery need. They provide activities and support to help her reach developmental milestones. Other than formula, they provide all of her food. They cook healthy meals onsite, adjust the menu to address special needs (such as allergies or personal preferences), wash her bottles and teach her words in English, Spanish and sign language. She is assigned her own crib and toys are washed daily. They give me a daily report detailing what she ate, how much she consumed, her activities, toys she played with, etc. They make learning fun for children with special projects and Dr. Suess parties, etc. The daycare is bright, colorful and cheery in every room. As children progress through the different grade levels, the curriculum grows with your child to prepare them at every level. If your child attends an elementary school in the area, they take them to school for you and pick them up after school. They give them breakfast before school, a snack after school and help them with their homework. Every staff member and the owners are very loving and passionate about children and take care of my daughter as if she is a part of their family. She is so happy with them, that I have to allow extra time when I pick her up, because she wants to hug her teachers before she leaves every day. I am grateful because I don't worry about leaving her in their care. They demonstrate every day that she is safe, very well cared for and loved. She could not be in a better daycare. Miss B

My grandson has been going there since he was an infant. They were doing a good job until he turned…read more3 years old, they started reporting him to the state as a problem child, accusing him if kicking and spitting on the kids on purpose. At home he would like to spit to play but he never spit on anyone on purpose and as with any other toddler he would have tantrums and kick while he is on the floor. He has autism and he is not violent like they made him out to be. He likes to play with a rubber chicken in the car sometimes. One time I gave it to him and he started hitting the chicken and babbling at the chicken, he never hit anyone nor showed any violent tendencies, I believe something happened in that school because they are not trained with children with autism.

When I was looking for someone to entrust the most precious part of my life, I did a lot of…read moreresearch on in home and these school like day cares. Chesterbrook was by far the best of what we saw. I will admit that they are a bit pricy, but my husband and I decided that we had to find a way to make it work. The school follows a curriculum that both enriches their minds and embraces their time as children. They strive to serve healthy food. The teachers are supportive and show that they care on a regular basis. When we moved, we switched to the Sugar Grove campus and we're just as happy. We chose to keep our daughter at Chesterbrook for kindergarten and I am glad we did. She had full day kindergarten without having the same classes twice. They bus kindergarteners to the Naperville school for specials once a week, which my daughter loved. Classes were focused and small. She even did a science fair project. Of course no school is perfect, but it would be silly to expect it from anyone, however, this school makes every effort to go above and beyond expectations at every turn. My kids still go back for some of their awesome summer camp days.

Our daughter goes here 3x per week for the summer program. It seems like good value but we didn't…read morereally shop around - we pay around $350 per week. Teachers all know our girl even though she doesn't come every day and ms Jocelyn and ms Izzy are great! I love the daily updates.

These guys are the best! Having distance from my home as a factor, it was between this place and…read morekindercare. The difference was easy to tell... First, all the children at kiddie academy are smiling, laughing, and having a ball. That tells you something big right there! Second, they have an awesome service of taking pictures of my son throughout the day and emailing me fun pictures, when he took a nap and how long, what he ate and how much, and what they learned or experienced like painting, dancing, singing, sign language gestures, etc. Third, it turns out my son has an issue with milk - it was no problem for them to switch him to soy. They're all very talented in their observations of my son and are able to spot things (they caught he had a slight fever one day & they always give me constant communication on how he's doing). The staff at Naperville's Kiddie Academy are the best of the best. The teachers in the infant room were wonderful as are the teachers in the 1 to 2 year old room. Although we haven't experienced all their rooms, while walking down the hallway, they all appear to be interacting enthusiastically with the children, again, all the kids are having a blast, and as Tatiana (who signed us up) said when I asked her why I should sign up with her rather than kinder care - "we really don't compare" and she was right. This place is super clean, new, communicative, and unlike kinder care, they hustled for my business. My son has been here four months and loves it.

Honestly, I cannot say enough good things about this school!! The first day that my 4 year-old son…read moreattended the school, he came home happy, cheerful, and proud to be a student of "Montessori school." He felt safe, included, and confident as a new little learner in his classroom. His enthusiasm and interest to learn and explore new things grows everyday. I cannot thank enough his teachers for guiding and encouraging him to learn and explore new things in school. I found everyone working in this school, right from the administrators to the teachers, to be caring, dedicated and compassionate individuals who love working with children. They work tirelessly to support and guide them in order to help them gain meaningful knowledge at their own pace. In short, this school is a hidden gem tucked away in North Aurora road and all parents who want their children to experience authentic Montessori method of learning in a school, should definitely visit and explore this school. I only wish their organization had a prominent website that was solely dedicated to the school and shared their curriculum, vision and mission. Had there been a proper website of this school instead of the "montessori unlimited", we would have enrolled our son long ago when he was 3; we learned about this school from a friend and I'm so glad we visited them soon after. Thus, a prominent website and/or a strong presence in social media will, I strongly believe, help many more families to be aware of this wonderful school that provides authentic Montessori learning experience to children.
