Giving this program two stars is actually quite generous but they deserve it because they are…read morelocated inside the school and they do give the kids snacks. Let me tell you what I DON'T like about this program. My son's 2nd/3rd day into the program he was left behind in the halls. Luckily his teacher found him and brought him to the after school program. Another incident, the program called us because they did not know where my son was (as a parent this is the most devastating thing to hear) !!! They called back a few min later, turns out he was there all along and they just didnt recognize him ect ... I don't believe they have a roll call/attendance process which im baffled about. They should invest in name tags at least in cases where there is a sub ; they can easily identify the child. After this incident we immediately pulled him out. We could not risk a 3rd incident from occurring where they might lose my child FOR REAL. If you have other options go for them. This is not worth it plus its pretty pricey for just a few hours.

This before and after-school care program is extremely profit-focused. Instead of paying a little…read moremore and training/securing appropriate staff, these programs are led by poorly-paid, unsupervised people without childcare training/expertise, people who don't seem to like children at all. Kids are treated poorly, not allowed to go outside, made to run laps inside, yelled at, and generally treated disrespectfully. The promises of cool enrichment activities are only empty promises. Kids are not able to decompress after school and are treated without even the most basic level of respect. If your district is exploring this program as an option, do what you can to find another option for your kids.

This new listing is not reflective of the horrendous reviews Right at School continues to receive and deserves. We had the unfortunate experience in CA of RAS replacing our on-site school daycare option and it was unsafe, unprofessional, at times unsupervised, nothing they claim was put into practice, and a miserable experience for the poor children. Thankfully, after repeated complaints about RAS, the former option was brought back and our kids are safe and happy away from RAS. Bottom line- search out reviews on the main Yelp listing, BBB, Google, etc.

I have a friend (I won't share her name) who has a daughter about to start second grade…read more Today, a teacher named Taralyn (unsure of spelling), called my friend to "touch base" with my my friend's daughter about said daughter and her IEP. This call was on speakerphone, so I heard the entire conversation. I was blown away. Words cannot describe how impressed I was with this woman. Extremely professional and also extremely empathetic. Apparently she has 16 years of experience and is new to the district, but she also has a Master's Degree in something my friend's daughter needs a little extra help with. In order to preserve privacy I won't go into detail, but the young lady is going through a family tragedy right now, and when her mother mentioned that, this wonderful teacher spoke at length about how she would be caring and accommodating. I am not one to normally leave Yelp reviews -- I leave 1 or 2 a year -- but when someone really blows me away, positively or negatively, I do. This is one of those times. I wish I had a teacher that wonderful when I was in second grade.

As a curvy short girl I'm often challenged by fit when attempting to buy quality clothes at an affordable price. I've found it helpful to simply buy discounted pieces and tailor to fit. However if alterations are too costly it will negate the discount. I appreciate Patti for keeping her prices affordable for fashionistas on a budget! She offers an upfront quote and definitely completes projects by guaranteed delivery date, if not before. Although the shop closes at 5p most weekdays Patti will accommodate a weekend fitting upon request. Plus the studio is clean, modern and super comfortable. I recommend Patti's Attic for all your sewing & alternation needs!

Now, that could've been a good thing or a bad thing depending on why they knew their names,... but mostly it was good ;) If you went to school there your parents were investing in you and it's probably one of the best investments they could have made, because not only was it a college-prep school, but they prepared you for life. When I went there in the 80's, it was not Joliet Catholic Academy, it was St Francis Academy and only girls attended. Well, that's not exactly true. lol, In the mornings, the boys came over from Joliet Catholic for band, and for 2 weeks, during Mardi Gras, we attended classes at the boys' school....and let me tell you, those 2 weeks were the best out of the whole year! Not only did we get to go to school with the boys, but we didn't have to wear our uniforms. Jeans & T-shirts, Jeans & Sweaters, and Jeans & Sneakers! it was awesome! :) The rest of the year was great as well. We could leave the campus for lunch, study outside on the lawn, and once our last class was over, we could go home. During my sophomore year I left at lunch-time every day. In the morning, the entire school smelled so delicious!! In the cafeteria, they made these Ginormous, soft, gooey, chocolate chip cookies that you could buy just as they came out of the oven,.. and for only10 cents. I hated,... no,... disliked strongly, History, but my teacher was Ms. Rosella Mae-Warner and she was fabulous. ( and yes, she knew my Dad's 1rst name lol ) That woman was an absolute gift from God. I could always go to her for help on any topic, including problems at home or with, dare I say it,...Boys. I think out of all the teachers I ever had, including in college, she was/is my most favorite. I hope she knows how much of a difference she made in my life. I wish I would have told her how much I loved her, but kids don't think like that until they're not kids any more. Sister Katherine was my Religion teacher and she was a great teacher as well. She made learning about Christ and the Bible interesting, and for that, I thank her. If more kids had religion as part of their lives, we wouldn't have near the problem we have with the youth of today. What happened to respect and honor? I'll tell you. Back then Nuns still taught and they would grab you by the ear and drag you to the Deans office if you committed an offence that warranted such an action. Really though, not everything you heard about nuns or catholic school girls is true, but that part is. lol Our Dean was Mr. Russell ( he, too, knew my father's name and phone number lol ) and he was kind and fair. I'll always remember him and I'll always be thankful for the guidance he provided. I could probably go on and on, but believe me when I say " The education I received was superior and I'm certain that, even though the school has a different name, any child ( boy or girl ) that attends will be well prepared for college and have a great foundation for life."
