He is a stronger Christian and a more balanced adult due partly to the education he received at Trinity Oaks. If you're looking for a solution to the mess that is the public school system, I highly recommend Trinity Oaks.

Someone told me before we attended the school that the students are like family, and they view each other as siblings and I didn't get it until we started at TOCA. But equally important is the care each teacher gives to each student. These aren't just teachers doing a job. These are educators dedicated to a mission of providing a safe, loving, Christ-centered environment for young minds to grow. What more could you ask for?

As a baby his caregiver gave us the impression that she loved him almost as much as we did. She was sad when he moved on as were we. And every class for 3+ years have all been the same. Like any kid he has his good days and his bad days, but when we drop him off on those bad days they never even bat an eyelash. They scoop him up, make him smile and get him involved. He never comes home unhappy and we never have to force him to school. He never fights with us. Which means to us he is cared for the way we would hope. We get reports about his eating and sleeping and behavior. On a day he may not be listening they let us know how they approached it and we take it from there at home. But by no means do we feel that he is mistreated or treated unfairly. Quite the opposite, as we think they truly care about his well being even after he leaves. We highly recommend everybody at Kindercare. They have been nothing but wonderful to our son and our family.

Are you looking for a preschool for your little one? LOOK NO FURTHER! Just register, you won't…read moreregret it. I researched all the local preschools from Barrington to Crystal Lake and St Barnabas was the best decision I could have made for my son. Immediately I felt at ease when talking with the director Kathy. She spent a lot of time talking with me and answering my questions (first timer with a lot). She was more than happy to show me around the school as well (it was summer time and they were closed). My son has febrile seizures so I also needed to put him someplace where I felt comfortable but also where they felt comfortable having a child there that this could possibly occur on their watch (lucky not to date). This was the place that made me feel most comfortable with his seizure disorder! My son is now in his second year of preschool and my youngest is already registered for next year to start in the 3T's program. It makes me so happy to see how my son looks forward to going to school each day. He has learned SO MUCH! He constantly comes home singing or telling me something that he's learned that day and it amazes me! But I love St Barnabas for the culture. The school environment is SO LOVING! It's like dropping him off with family. I know each time I leave he is in great hands. The staff have worked together for years and you can tell they all love what they do! What more could you want for in a preschool? This is the one! I know some have asked about the religious aspect in the school. Even if your NOT religious it's OK to still have your child attend preschool here. Religion is not forced upon you there. Yes it's faith based and my son can now tell me about Jesus and say prayers. It's not excessive. He tells me more about the months of the year and the days of the week.

It is run systemically and professionally, but there is still so much warmth every time my family walks through the doors.

I'm extremely grateful for Jenny and Rich + the entire team that helps run the school. The teachers truly care and it always shows.

My family is very grateful to have found this place, especially after our current daycare gave us…read moreonly a 2-week notice that they were closing their doors for good. Little Minds is a hidden gem conveniently located near the Crystal Lake/Pingree Road Metra stop. Only having been open for a few months, the place is clean, spacious, and welcoming all throughout. The teachers are nurturing, knowledgeable and accommodating (except for one elderly woman who is cold and never greets my family - thankfully NOT in my son's classroom) to my 2-year-old's mood changing needs. The director has been very flexible with our family when we decided to change our schedule. My husband and I like that there is an indoor play area (i.e., slides, ride on toys, etc.) for those extreme weather days. I also like how one of the teachers incorporates a baking/cooking lesson daily with the students. The only TEMPORARY downside is, because this daycare is new, the enrollment is low. My family has very HIGH hopes that Little Minds will grow in the next few months with more exposure. We literally pass a "big shot" daycare, that is 5 minutes from our home, to get here, and you couldn't pay our family to go to that one! If you are in search for a new daycare in the Crystal Lake and surrounding area, come check this place out!

I went in and met Nicole while I was still pregnant. I took a tour of the center and it was awesome. Everything was so clean and new! They also have cameras in each room which was reassuring.

I would highly recommend this daycare center to anyone in the area looking. It's also better priced than most!
