I was looking around at preschools for my little one and when I visited the center it felt very relaxed yet still has structured learning. The kids all seem to enjoy being here it's very rare I ever walk in and see a child upset ( this includes the baby room which speaks a lot for the staff!) Everyone is so friendly and all the teachers greet us as we walk in the door. My son loves going to school and it has helped with my anxiety of sending him off to school to know how much he loves it. Not to mention he is also learning quite a bit already and it's only a couple months into the school year. I would highly recommend this facility to family and friends.

Hi @Melissa penny lanes business director,…read more Since I can't reply back to your comment on my review I'll just write it here. Nothing, I wrote is inaccurate information. I totally understand that these reviews are very important for penny lanes business. This is why I took the time to write out the review. For parents seeking child care for their children and wanting to make the best decision. Actually, some of the things that you stated in your reply was very inaccurate such as my reason to leave the daycare. We left due to having so many incidents occur and the lack of incidents reports being made and also lack of accountability. Most of the time my daughter was sent home from daycare with cuts and bruises. Teachers were unable to explain what happened due to them "not being around" or "leaving early for the day" so she was left in the care of substitute teacher and no one in the daycare could find whichever "substitute teacher "was in the class in at the time to explain the constant injuries. Also, on August 11th I was called into penny lanes due to my child having a busted lip and chipped tooth. I expressed my concerns to the director of the daycare Ms.Laura she responded back to me and let me know if I wanted my child to not have so many incidents I needed a nanny. Which I was completely token back by. I understand things happen in a daycare but as a director for that to be the response back to a concern parent is very insensitive. Also, to double back to the abrupt departure. Laura allow us to leave without putting in the 2 week notice due to not us moving but me being so uncomfortable with my child being enrolled under you guys care second longer. Her last day was that Thursday morning November 6th due to another unreported incident. My daughter was enrolled in for a year. I have never once received a weekly paper meal plan in advance. My child was there 5 days a week and 8-8.5 hrs a day. So I understand that health and safety is the utmost importance but it's seems like the ball was dropped multiple times with my child. Also, is always a lack of accountability. This is not the blame game. If I'm paying for a good quality daycare I expect the best quality health and safety for my child. I left the review for parents to understand that penny lanes daycare of oak lawn does not provide this experience for each and every child. Also, if you need for me to provide any proof I can. Thank you. -Brianna Boyce

Penny Lane school in Oak Lawn exceeds every expectation we had as parents. From the moment we…read morewalked through those red doors, the environment is warm, clean and thoughtfully designed to make children feel safe, engaged and genuinely happy. What I love most about this place is their staff, their level of care, patience, and attentiveness goes far beyond what we could have hoped for. Its rare to find a place that combines such high standards with genuine heart, but Penny lane (Oak Lawn) does exactly that. We are incredibly fortunate to have found them and would recommend them wholeheartedly to any parent looking for exceptional care. I currently, have 3 of my kids enrolled there. 2 of them in daycare and 1 in their before and after school care. We also leverage their summer camp program. We love Penny Lane, Oak Lawn!

This year they started a teacher-parent messaging system using an app, so I get to hear from the teachers how each day was about 15 minutes after I pick her up! They send pictures with it too.

PPED is very accommodating; you can choose to bring your kids any combination of weekdays, not just a set MWF or TR schedule. They offer full-day childcare, and are always happy to keep my son all day on days when we have other commitments and need childcare. PPED offers preschool for 2-year-olds and they even help with potty training! Also, my son has a healthy snack and a full hot lunch before pickup, so he can come home and get his nap in on time. Aside from all the perks mentioned above, the staff here really love and care about the kids. Everyone always has a smile on their face, and they truly seem excited to see my son every morning. Kids can pick up on this pretty fast, and it doesn't take more than a second for him to have a big smile on his face and run right to one of his teachers. Leaving such a young child with someone else can certainly be stressful, but I feel great knowing that my child is being cared for by people who have earned my trust and really care about his well being. We are so lucky to have found PPED. Thank you all!

After touring several local daycare centers, Kindercare of Frankfort stood out amongst the rest. The facility itself is clean, bright, and secure. There is abundant outdoor play space, with actual playground equipment and an open area to play sports, such as soccer. All classrooms are divided by age and are located on the same floor along a hallway that has windows into each room (except the baby room). My son went into the 2 year old room, which has cubbies for each child, plenty of sunlight, a large play area, and tables and mats for circle time and activities. Cots are provided for nap time. They have bathroom facilities in the room and will work toward potty training, but still change diapers for this age group. Healthy snacks and meals are provided, and I got a glimpse of the kitchen with an actual cook preparing the meals and snacks for the day. Very impressive! The clinic director, Lori, and assistant director, Hillary, were so patient and kind to me. They took several calls from both my husband and I, answering every question as we made our decision. They toured the facility with us twice and welcomed my son to come in the day before he started to get acquainted with his new surroundings. The two year old teachers, Miss Amy and Miss Ashley, were very welcoming, decorating his cubby, and sending home notes explaining how his day went. Everyone is so professional and you can tell they really enjoy their jobs and care for the children. I highly recommend KinderCare of Frankfort.
