  It is wild to think that our daughter started here as a tiny 3-month-old and is now turning two! Gurnee KinderCare has truly become like a second home for her. We love how the teachers don’t just 'watch' the kids—they really dive in. Whether it’s circle time or their daily activities, they make sure the kids are learning while having a total blast. One of my favorite parts of the day is checking the app; the photos and video updates they post are such a bright spot in my workday. Plus, the management team is actually 'there' for you. They listen to our requests personally and make us feel heard. If you’re looking for a place where your child will be genuinely cared for and encouraged to grow, this is it.

  As a parent, I've been very skeptical about daycares and how they treat their employees and children. I've had a wonderful experience here with my youngest for the last year and will continue to share post once my newest comes along. Keep up the amazon work!!!

  I have three grandchildren that attend Brookhaven Kindercare. Two are school age and one is Prek. The staff works very hard to accommodate the needs of all the children in the program, even those who need a bit extra. Each grade has a monthly curriculum that I know in advance. The little one even has Spanish built in to hers. I am sent daily reports and pictures or videos of each one of my kids. An added benefit is that I was able to put my payments on autopay. One less thing for this grandma to do! I would definitely recommend Brookhaven Kindercare for all ages!

  Brookhaven Kindercare has been wonderful to us. We struggled to find a good daycare and ended up having to try a few before coming here. We've been here a year now and our daughter absolutely loves coming every day. The teachers have been wonderful. They immediately respond to any questions or concerns and we haven't had any issues or questions unanswered. I am so glad we found this place!

  Just say no! I toured this place under a different director and it was amazing. Over the next 2 years I saw it fall apart. It is awful. The directors are a joke and seem to only care about a comfortable office redecorated annually and managing numbers for their annual bonus. They put nice stuff in the entryway and leave the classrooms needing for supplies. They refused my care requests numerous times resulting in untrained staff for our special needs and her needs not being met. Unfortunately, I think the center is heavily weighted with kids on assistance and parents who feel like they can't demand better. The teachers make less in a year than I paid in for my one kid alone. They don't care about their staff, treat them like crap, and their MO appears to be run the kids ragged vs following a curriculum. My kid was so over stimulated when she got home she wouldn't play, and only wanted to cuddle. Now we are in a much better situation and everyone, especially the kiddo, are so much happier. I understand the one on Grand and 45 is eons better. Just don't!
