Our daughter goes to South Loop Elementary school in Chicago, it's the worst after school that we…read moreever dealt with. They yell at kids all the time too. The main issue that place is extremely UNSAFE and very poorly managed. They don't do any activities with kids. Our daughter had her head cut, she was bitten by another child, she was hit in the face by another child, she was hit in her teeth, now she has infection in her finger and on antibiotics. I was told that she has a splinter as she was playing with a dirt!! It developed into infection and now it has to be monitored so it doesn't turn into sepsis. Avoid at all costs. Update: after I spoke to two area managers about my concerns, they reassured me that they will talk to staff members and will keep an eye on my daughter to make sure that she doesnt get any more injuries. I took her back, for one day she was fine and then I got a call that she fell off money bars and hit her nose, and face, we went to urgent care, they told us that we have to go to the hospital to get stitches. We spent all night in the hospital, next week have to see plastic surgeon, we have to take 2 types of antibiotics again! I can't believe this, she is never going back to Right at School at South Loop elementary.

Garbage. 1st day and person who created us was high, took the 12 forms we had to fill out and…read moretossed them in a pile, didn't verify who we were and never asked for the pin or ID when we picked them up. My kids, who absolutely love going to school hated it. My 5 year old cried and begged not to go back. Bunch of balls tossed in the gym. No curated activities. Arts and crafts included modeling clay, coloring worksheets, and legos. Again, nothing organized. NOTHING related to the weekly theme. "Pizza party" was a couple of boxes of pizza on a table. No drinks, no decorations, nothing. Not gonna bother sending them back for the rest of the week. Called the area manager and I got the pitch that the very well designed website states. No concern for the ridiculous state of affairs my kids are describing. Absolutely will not recommend and will make sure everyone and Hanover County School board knows what's going on in their schools. I'm not only completely let down but feel like I've put my kids into an unsafe environment. I give zero stars if it would let me.

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."
