The school is overpriced and gone significantly downhill since I started sending my child. Some of the teachers are good, most can't be bothered. It is closed all the time, every single government holiday and then they piggy back and close on non-holidays, like New Year's Eve and the day before Christmas Eve. I am convinced it is because the teachers will not show up on those days. And the whole school closes at 5:30. If you want to have your child there from 7:30 to 5:30 be prepared to pay over a hundred dollars extra. And if you don't make it to the school until 5:25, your child will be sitting in the office. They even shut down the entire school so the staff can go to conferences, and then they put out requests for the parents to donate snacks! They complain about putting sunscreen on the children! One of the administrators is really rude and condecending to parents, two qualities that you certainly don't want in a child care provider! I really hate this school now and can't wait to pull my child out.
Pros: catered lunch serves fruit and vegetables
Cons: bad hours, staff uncaring

I find this school nothing to write home about. Teachers are lazy and don't want to get up and go the extra mile for kids. Don't get me wrong, there are a handful of good ones which my daughter never seemed to get. They are closed SOOOO much and unless I worked for the government, I am taking off at least 10 days a year. They don't seem to listen to direction from the parent. One of the administrators is not nice at all, can you smile??? Owner is almost never there which may be why it is falling apart. They also seem to make up their own rules as they go along.
Pros: location to Hyde Park, South Loop and West Loop
Cons: building, staff, hours of operation, rates keep going up
