- MSMalika SteeFeb 9, 20251.0I'm always leery of any organization whose only payment option is direct access to your banking account details, as well as of any organization that has any resemblance bait and switch practices. This review will focus on mainly the first area, but the second area definitely merits being mentioned. Earlier in 2024, after deciding not to align my family to Bright Horizons program tied to the 'second area' noted above, they reached back out with notice that my family could now be aligned to our location preference. I moved forward with an enrollment decision. They have this policy that you have to cancel 30 days prior to the start date. Note that the monies ($1,103) had been pulled from my account on 12/19, for a 1/28 start date. On January 8th, I sent notice regarding the decision to not move forward with their program and was told by their personnel contact via email, that the monies would not be returned to me. However on the same date, their online system allow me to proceed with processing a reimbursement amount that totaled $911 and their system prompted me to enter in the mailing address that the reimbursement check should be sent. Towards of the end of January, the check had not been received. After reaching out again, I was told that the reimbursement amount was going to be $635 on 1.31. The disconnect between their online portal, that in fact processed the refund amount at $911 (based on the accrual as of 1.8) and communication from the personnel connect, demonstrates a glaring disparity. $635 as the refund amount, is what someone personally determined, while their system on 1.8 determined otherwise at $911, and I provided proof of the timestamp details from 1.8. Let this be a lesson for the next family considering this organization. I've since identified another resource for my family and couldn't be happier.
- MSmehrnoush soroushSep 12, 20245.0Our son was at Stony Island for 2.5 years before he moved to school. I have always highly recommended this center. I have moved across the country with two kids and have used and visited many childcare facilities. I can confidently say this is one of the best daycare centers one can ever find. I moved from a fancy daycare in CA to Chicago and had to enroll my son in the only BH center that had availability in the city, and I was traumatized by that experience. Everything was bad, and I was highly skeptical of enrolling my son here when they had an opening. I am so glad I did. The building is gorgeous, spacious, bright and well-equipped. It was designed after much contemplation by a famous firm and has been featured in some of the catalogs of noteworthy modern architectures in the city. The staff are all courteous and kind. I particularly loved Ms Felicia, Ms Karina, and Ms Jasmine. But, I never had any bad experience with any staff. The food is good and generous. The management, Ms. Daniella and Ms Ashley are so kind and welcoming and punctual and on top of everything. But, I should say that above the material and human resources of the building, the director, Ms. Ashley is probably the reason why the building shines. She is so resourceful and kind and punctual and hardworking. She is always busy doing new stuff, learning new things, doing charity work, and you will feel how her energy fills the building. Highly recommended to everyone.
- NMNaana MensahJan 18, 20245.0Bright Horizons Stony Island has truly been the best decision we made for our son’s daily care. My husband and I have a great sense of peace knowing that our son is in the care of people who truly care about his well-being, happiness and development. He has consistently hit his milestones early and has developed a love for learning and exploration for the world around him. BH-Stony Island makes it easy for us to continue to foster his curiosity and eagerness to excel in all aspects of his little life. We are forever grateful for this facility and the staff who have turned into family.
