I cannot say enough good things about Kindercare in Savoy, IL ! My son has been attending Kindercare for a little over 2 years and it’s been such a positive experience that I would recommend this facility to anyone seeking a safe, fun, clean, and educational environment. They offer classrooms for infants to school aged kids & have an after school care option with private bus transportation. They also accept CCRS! The hours of operation and minimal days closed ( mainly just big holidays) make it super reliable for working parents! The summer program is great as well and there are lots of activities and field trips planned for school aged kids & younger to stay active and engaged. They also have fun themed booth events set up such as a carnival with face painting and fun games and prizes to ice cream socials in the hallways as a nice little treat on your way out for the kids & parents to enjoy. There is a sign in sheet desk with always neatly printed materials for the most recent newsletters & calendar events and food menus. Additionally, there is a nice board for reminders of dates or special events & good positive news is shared for all to read. They also have a nice Food menu. My son (who’s a picky eater) loves the food they serve so it’s nice knowing he has access to healthy choices for food. The teachers are great and really know what they are doing and how to diffuse situations and redirect children and are very attentive and caring! Also, Sue, the daycare’s Director, is seriously the best!
My son was going through a rough patch and acting out at his primary school ( which I believe was stemming from his homeroom class & teacher) I would receive phone call after phone call from his primary school administration throughout my workday all the way to the end of the school day, about his day because his primary school was unable to diffuse and handle his behavior, Kindercare was my saving grace!
Kindercare would relieve him from his bad day by picking him up from school and he would transition to Kindercare for their after school care and from there, they were able to redirect him and he would refocus and the staff really took the time to listen and understand what was going on. My son is truly being cared for by people who want to see him succeed.
Most importantly I want to mention that during this rough patch Sue, the Daycare’s Director, would set time aside with me and we would sit in her office for sometimes 20 mins just talking, and she would listen and give me advice and resources when I was on the brink of tears from all the stress and she gave me that extra support which is something I’m forever thankful for!
Kindercare became more than just a daycare, it has become a second home to us and unfortunately, his last day will be at the end of this month as we are relocating to another town, I wish we could take Kindercare with us!
