Amazing! We started Kumon because we noticed our son was good with numbers but did not enjoy Math…read more Ms. Ann and her team embraced his abilities and helped him excel well beyond his grade level. He attended the Kumon awards ceremonies and received ribbons and medals which definitely motivated him to do more. We noticed significant increases in his state testing scores which motivated us even more. Yes, the homework was challenging and it required commitment. BUT... the self-confidence and sense of pride he developed as a result of his time at Kumon could not be duplicated. It sounds strange to think Math made a child more confident, but the program taught him to do complex math problems in his head without needing to write down or carry over numbers. This has made him our "human calculator" at the age of 9. The program works! Ms. Ann and her team were always available to answer questions and were always friendly and welcoming. They know all of the kids by name and are ready for each one of them upon arrival. Everyone was always organized and accommodating. Thank you for an amazing experience!

We LOVE Algonquin Preschool! When we first moved to town a year ago, we were really overwhelmed…read morewith all the new decisions to make. Finding a new preschool turned out to be the easiest and best decision we've made so far! Some of our new neighbors casually mentioned Algonquin Preschool, so we scheduled a visit. My little guy was immediately comfortable with the teachers (and he's usually very shy at first!) and they let him stay and play as long as he wanted to. We immediately felt that this was the school for us. The environment was warm and friendly, and you can tell that a lot of thought goes into the planning of the classrooms and planning out the school year. The teachers all genuinely care about your child, and the focus is on PLAY. Play is the way preschoolers learn, and my son has shown so much social and emotional progress in his first year of school. We're so happy with our decision to send him here, and are so excited to send him again next year before he goes off to kindergarten :)

We love Primrose! Our daughter had a nanny until we moved to the suburbs, so I was incredibly…read morenervous about finding the right daycare for her. I toured another, nationally known center nearby and very seriously started to cry. No way was my baby going there! Then, we went to Primrose. The heavens opened and angels began singing! What a difference. Warm, friendly environment, smart and caring teachers, and I cannot say enough about the Director and Assistant Director, Ruth Ann and Kimberly! My little girl just lights up when she sees them! It feels more like a "school" than just a daycare. She's learning things all the time, and we see the progress. Her vocabulary is growing by leaps and bounds (she's 16 months) and she's learning how to play well with others - important for an only child. We are not just Primrose supporters - we are Primrose evangelists!

To Whom it may concern,…read more I would like to let you know that my wife, daughter & I have had the great pleasure of having Primrose School of Algonquin as an addition to our family over the past 6 years. I may be a little biased, being we only have one child and it is the only school she has ever attended. It wasn't baking a cake for my wife and I, (they gave us a 1 in 400,000 of 1% chance of having children). We were building our home in Gilberts, IL tearing out bedrooms as we did not think we would need any more than 2 or 3 most. Obviously, I did not believe my wife when she called me at work telling me she was pregnant. By the big guy upstairs' grace we we're extremely fortunate and over the moon that we had a beautiful healthy baby girl. So here we are April 2012 and now we have beaten the Powerball odds of having a baby. What are 2 type "A", work-a-holic, Gen-X / Millennial hybrids going to do with and whom can we trust with our new most prized possession?!?! Once again, my wife to the rescue and has found Primrose of Algonquin. From the moment I stepped foot in the school, I did not have to look any further as it exceeded anything that I ever had growing up & over the course of the past 6 years has grown to be considered FAMILY in every sense of the word. I won't name them all, as I am too fearful to leave out someone's name, however the owners, directors, teachers & support staff from the very top to the very bottom are some of the most approachable people on the planet. In my observations they have always demonstrated exceptional teaching skills regardless of the class's age group or diversity of learning levels. They always ensure that their students experience success by challenging their abilities to encourage as much growth and development as possible. The students are always treated with great respect from the teachers and staff and has great rapport with them. I knew from the first year walking with them in the town parade that they are great people and care about the kids more than just inside the classroom walls. For me it was great that they are always very real with me. I do want it sugarcoated, just tell me what it is or what had happened so I know how to deal with it appropriately. From the owners Kurt & Laura to the director Ruthann down they are very good at catering to their audience (us the parents). The always willingness to go above and beyond in every aspect of the school I can think of from tech (tadpoles), to up-to-date learning techniques, philanthropic, really I cannot think of an area they did not exceed all expectations! The teachers at the school are not only a great asset to the class, but the school as well. Their presence in the school are respected by all for their many contributions, beyond the regular curriculum, are exemplary. It is without hesitation that I commend them for their contributions to students and education. They are an asset to any school and will surely have a positive effect on any developing mind under their influence. I would recommend the Primrose School of Algonquin as school of the year for the past 6 years running and with a very heavy heart we have to go to first grade. For very selfish reasons I would keep my little girl this size and at this school for the rest of my days if I could. (Feel free to make a K-MBA, but I think that's a long shot & I won't hold my breath). I wanted to pass along my great many thanks & praise what a fantastic school Primrose of Algonquin is. In my opinion, what every school across the nation should be taking notes and looking at as this is what they should be striving to be. I cannot begin to thank the staff for all they have done for us over the years and our little girl I really believe would not be what she is today without them. I hope this helps other parents looking for a great safe place to put their little ones while having to be away from them. Kind regards, Jeremy
