Marcey Street KinderCare

“ We are so thrilled with our Kindercare experience. Not only have we watched our son blossom into a rambunctious toddler from a squeaky little newborn, but we have seen all of the love his teachers and the Kindercare staff show him through his kisses being blown and waves goodbye every night. We have never seen a moment of separation anxiety from him, and we credit that to the level of trust and comfort he feels at Kindercare. We feel so fortunate to know our son is in such great hands every day. Thank you so much! Sincerely, Nicole and Mike C.

“ As our oldest moves into an elementary school schedule, we see how spoiled we have been by KinderCare…the long hours they are open, the flexibility to pick up and drop off when we want, the fact that they are only closed a few days a year – the convenience is incredible. And, we’ve always felt totally comfortable and happy about the care and development our children have received at KinderCare.

“ Lincoln Park KinderCare is a friendly place, and the staff is so very wonderful!! We have returned there for our second child. Our children are four years apart, and the same teachers that took care of our older child are still there taking care of our second child. You feel that you are leaving your child in caring and safe hands. We feel that it is our second home!!

“ We brought our child to KinderCare at about 9 months of age. She had previously been cared for by a full-time nanny, who came to the house during working hours. Over time we became fearful that our baby was missing out on important social interactions with other children her age, so we began to look around for daycare centers. Most of what we found did not inspire confidence. There are loads of daycare centers out there, but mostly we found that were either too far away for our liking, or in sketchy areas, or run by too few people, or by people we had a hard time communicating with. Whatever the reason, we just never felt confident to leave our baby with any of the care facilities we looked into. And then we found KinderCare. What we liked about KinderCare from the beginning was that it didn't feel like some ma-and-pop outfit. KinderCare felt like a proper child care facility: menus are planned out weeks in advance, you get a record of what your child eats and does every day, the doors lock and open only with a code, it has a proper fire alarm system, there's parking out front, there is a reception desk in the entry way, the care givers are caring for normal-sized groups of kids almost exactly the same age, they have specific responsibilities inside those groups, there is a curriculum of activities, developmental habits are tracked and recorded, etc. etc. This wasn't a store front or the third apartment in a three flat that some person decided to run as a daycare center. Someone actually thought about how to build and run KinderCare. That was the biggest takeaway for us. The place feels partly like a school, partly like a cafeteria, and partly like a business. It is well managed and has operating procedures. And for whatever reason, those things made us feel confident that we could take our precious gift there every day - and nothing would go wrong. We were thrilled when our child was confirmed for a spot in the center. And we've never regretted the decision to take her there. We know she's safe. We know she's watched after. And we know that she's on track. This all gives us great peace of mind.

“ Lincoln Park KinderCare has been the perfect match and a true blessing for our family. The friendly and knowledgeable staff and fun environment have become part of our family and we are not just satisfied but are also proud to have our daughter be a part of this community. Our daughter has grown so much thanks to the expertise and genuine care of the staff and we look forward to the years ahead.

“ The first time that Ben got sick in infant care he was running a very high temperature. I got to school to find his teacher holding him - she said he was so sad and that he just wanted to cuddle..Made me feel so good to know he was in such loving hands! The first day that Ben transitioned from waddlers to toddlers, he was having a rough day and wasn't eating his lunch. His old waddler teacher got the word and stopped into the room and let him sit on her lap for lunch time..That is just what he needed to clean his plate. Recently, one night when I was putting Ben to sleep he goes "Mommy, Ms. Winnonah and Ms. Heather know just what to do at school. It is fun there." Just about sums it up! :)

“ Lincoln Park KinderCare has been a wonderful place for our family. At our first visit, to tour the facility, the staff made us feel comfortable and welcome. The first day we dropped our infant daughter off, it was sad and hard to leave her, but my husband and I felt extremely reassured that she was in good hands, and that was very calming to both of us. Our daughter has grown so much under the careful care of all the teachers and staff. From infancy into her two’s, they have always treated her as if she is the only child they tend to on a daily basis, and have given us some excellent insight into her growth. I would recommend this facility to everyone, as we have been very happy here. Choosing the right day care is the most important decision any new parents can make. Thank you for making ours both comforting and enjoyable.

“ KinderCare has made a profound impact in our child's life. We are continually impressed by the caring teachers as well as the unmatched teaching curriculum. As a consequence of the highly skilled staff, our 4 year old is able to read and do multiplication. We truly appreciate the program and highly recommend it.

“ We have been so pleased with our son's experience at Lincoln Park Kindercare. He has been going to "school" there since he was 4 months old and has experienced the loving care of the teachers in Infant 1, Waddler 1 and Toddler 1 classrooms. Some days he has so much fun that he doesn't want to come home, and he talks constantly about his friends that he has made there. We continue to be amazed at everything he's learned - this past weekend he surprised us by counting 2-4-6-8-10 as we were cleaning up his books, and he's only 18 months old!
