  This center is amazing! It's a great place to send your children. The teachers are incredibly attentive and compassionate, treating the children as if they are their own! They handle every child with grace and patience, and I am so blessed to have them. Ms.Julie and Ms.Isabel are the best Center Director and Assistant Director ever! They really invest their time with all the children, staff, and keep up with their office work! 10 10 RECOMMEND!!!

  I cannot say enough good things about this daycare. The center is always incredibly clean and well maintained, which immediately gives peace of mind when walking in each day. The teachers are truly engaging with the children, and the curriculum is both thoughtful and impressive. The projects the kids bring home are outstanding and show just how much care and creativity goes into their learning experience. The center director, Ms. Julie, is especially welcoming and sets the tone for the entire center. She greets every family with warmth and kindness, making everyone feel seen and comfortable the moment they walk in. Her calm presence, soft-spoken nature, and constant smile make the environment feel inviting and reassuring. She also creates a strong sense of community by organizing fun, family-engaging contests and activities that bring everyone together. The assistant director, Ms. Isabel, is equally outstanding. She is extremely alert, attentive, and deeply committed to the children’s well-being and safety at all times. It is clear that she prioritizes protecting the children above everything else, always keeping a close watch and ensuring they are safe, supported, and cared for throughout the day. She engages with both families and children in a way that builds trust and confidence, and her presence alone brings a strong sense of reassurance. On top of that, she has a great personality funny, expressive, and able to lighten the mood even on difficult mornings and after stressful work days, often turning a stressful moment into a smile or laugh. Ms. Megan and the rest of the staff are also fantastic. Ms. Megan’s curriculum is highly engaging and thoughtfully designed, helping children learn and grow in meaningful, hands-on ways. The projects and activities are consistently creative and developmentally enriching. Every staff member we’ve interacted with has been friendly, caring, and dedicated. It can feel nerve-racking leaving your children in someone else’s care, especially in today’s world, but this center consistently provides reassurance. The environment is safe, nurturing, joyful, and built on genuine care. This is truly an exceptional daycare.

  I have so many good things to say about this location. I was not happy with my old childcare center, but I am pleased with this one. My kids cried the first few days so I was nervous, but now they are happy to go to school and see their teachers,

  I am extremely disappointed with KinderCare on Oak Park Avenue. The facility has a persistent weird smell and lacks proper cleaning standards. They claim to operate from 6 AM to 6 PM, but when I drop my son off in the morning, I often see about 10 children with only 1-2 staff members struggling to manage. It’s chaotic, with children crying and insufficient supervision. They’ve also been mixing my son with big kids in the morning due to a lack of staff. This is deeply concerning as these toddlers, and even teachers, walk with shoes on the same floor where my baby is learning to crawl. The hygiene practices are appalling, and it’s unacceptable to allow such unsanitary conditions. The center has also been inconsistent with their send-home policies, overriding a doctor’s note on more than one occasion. Once, they undressed my son at the front desk to check for signs of hand-foot-mouth disease, despite a doctor’s note clearly stating there was no such issue. This lack of professionalism and disregard for medical advice is deeply concerning. I would not recommend this daycare to anyone. As parents, we entrust daycare centers with the well-being of our children, and KinderCare on Oak Park Avenue has failed miserably to meet even the basic standards of care.

  I highly recommend this Kindercare! The teachers here are amazing and friendly! My son has learned so much from them. I love how they do art projects with the kids.
