S Arlington Heights KinderCare

My son who’s in college now, went here. I loved this place, the flexibility as he was 2 days and I could drop him 4 – 5 days when needed. Back then, staff was friendly & at that time had separate rooms, cutting down on noise. Every time I drive by good memories fill my mind. It was close, on my way to work which was in Elgin. He liked it & he had a teacher named Miss Pam who also had a son who was the same age, so she moved classs as well. They gave a little sheet everyday showing foods eaten & activities he did. I miss this place & need to consider having another because I Will use this daycare again.

My kids have attended this daycare for 3 years now and I love it here. The teachers are great, and my 3 year old has learned so much at this school. It’s clean, organized, and everyone is very friendly. Most of the teachers have been at this daycare for several years, and I love that my baby will have all the same teachers my son had. If you are looking for great child care in the Arlington Heights area, you should visit South Arlington Heights KinderCare.

My daughters have been a part of the Kindercare family for a couple of years now… they love going there the teachers are warm, caring and attentive. My daughters have grown very close to their teachers its just wonderful to see that connection. I feel very blessed to have found a place where my girls feel comfortable and i know they are happy to be there and just knowing that im leaving them in good hands its a very good feeling… THANK YOU to all the Kindercare Staff!

My son used to attend this location a few years ago. The staff is warm, caring and loving. They always took great care of him… informing me of what he was learning through out the day, took pictures of all the activities while he was there. Since I have to work, I’m glad I can still see what he is doing during the day from all the pictures they send home. The directors, Jaimee and Pam, always respond to my needs in a timely manner. I still use this location for «drop in care» when my son doesnt have school. They are very flexible and always accomodating so that my son can attend when needed. I give this center 2 thumbs up and am proud to say that having my child attend this location has benefitted him greatly. It provided the stepping stones for his future.

I LOVE this center! My kids have been coming here since they were infants! The staff knows our family on a personal level and makes sure to greet my kids each morning. The teachers are amazing and do an excellent job keeping communication open with me and are wonderful with my kids. I love that my kids are excited to go to school each morning, they go running into their teachers arms each morning. Everyday they come with a new peice of knowledge that we talk about during dinner m I can’t imagine a better fit for our family. Leaving your kids during the day is hard but my mind is set at ease each day knowing they are in great hands!

This location is TERRIBLE! DO NOT EVER PUT YOUR CHILDREN HERE! My younger daughter caught shigella from being in the infant room and wound up hospitalized. It was so serious that the Cook County Board of Health got involved since it’s a highly communicable disease. After speaking with the Cook County Health caseworker, their determination is that she caught it from the daycare seeing as no one else in our household was ill from it. When I told the daycare this, their lame excuse was that my daughter and another child had gotten ill at the exact same moment. Really?!
They also do not teach kids here. My mother hated coming to pick up my older daughter. She was often left alone in a corner to play with empty toilet paper rolls. She was also physically abused by a staff member! DCFS, the Arlington Heights Police, and corporate were involved. Corporate did not seem to care about the incident whatsoever.
I would steer clear of this facility. It smells, the workers are not friendly, and the directors are very unpersonable and mean. If you are even $ 1 late in tuition, their response is to put a flyer in your child’s cubby saying that payment is late and that a late fee has been assessed to your account. However, even if you’re lucky enough to trick one of the mindless directors down, they can’t help you! All of their accounting is done outside of the facility. Yet they’re quick to threaten you with fines!
Terrible place for children. Please DO NOT put your child here!!!

I’m settling with this place… that should already say a lot.
Please read my review on Tutor Time (Schaumburg, IL)
Like any other parents, I called and made an appointment to visit this location. I spoke to the Center Director myself and had confirmed everything. The location was very hard to find as it was tucked downward and next to a garage. I spotted the garage before I even found this place. The sign was VERY small and it wasn’t as visible as it should be.
When I came in and was approached by the Center Director herself, I wasn’t greeted in a warm gesture. She had very few words to tell me when I was there for a tour! I had to initiate the conversation which I didn’t mind doing, but really? Isnt’ she suppose to «sell» me on wanting to place my daughter there? I had to ask her about the rates, about the daycare, and finally asked for the «tour». I was then brought into the room that my daughter would be in and was then handed off to the «teacher» that was currently present. The Center Director told the «teacher» to explain to me the day-​to-​day procedure as she had to go out and take care of something. Again, really? Did I not MAKE AN APPOINTMENT!!! I’m thinking, «fine.whatever» I spoke to the «teacher» and come to find out, I put her title in quotations because she wasn’t a teacher… she was a bus driver. Which is fine, but why is a bus driver telling me about the daycare? It just didn’t make sense. teh «teacher» was nice and it was good to meet and greet the actual person that will be transporting my daughter from her elementary school back to the daycare. I never had the opportunity to meet her care taker/​teacher, but when I did, I was unimpressed. The room that my daughter would have been in was in it’s worse shape. It was beyond messy and I noticed a large Dunkin Donuts cup of coffee on it’s side spilling on the counter and no one was taking care of it. I also noticed that there was «junk» all over the floor and tables. It was not well kept at all.
I would normally not approve of my child being in such a place that I had a first bad impression of but like most parents, you have to settle sometimes even when you dont’ want to. Over time, I was well aquainted with the «teacher» but I still did not have a connection with teh Center Director nor the rest of the staff. She had a «Center Director of the year» banner on the wall as you walk in, but it was not neccessary. I don’t reccomend this place unless you absolutely have to place your child somewhere. The «teacher» was nice and she was very caring of my daughter… that was the only benefit.
