In the beginning I loved this school. I did a lot of research and decided to make the commute from the Edgewater neighborhood in Chicago to Kindercare in Evanston. I read the materials and understood that this was a learning center. This was the most important thing to me since I am a lifelong student and education is paramount. I am also a single mother so I have very little free time. Two years ago when my son started it was great. The center director wasnt too good but the staff was awesome and within a few months my 2 year old son was potty trained. I was ecstatic. I also saw a huge improvement in his language skills. Fast forward to the present, I honestly was very tired of the commute. I take public transit and ride my bike. Between taking my son to school, going to school, and tutoring at a school, I spent 6+ hours traveling each day. It became too much and I decided to find a closer school. I found Little Kiddies on Devon, within walking distance of home, and inquired. There was such a vast difference in their program that I moved my son right away. Within one week I learned that my son was very far behind the other children in his age-group. My son was very upset because he was used to playing all day, and at this new school the children have to practice writing and the alphabet. I was shocked. I spent all the time and more money sending my son to a "learning center" and he hadnt learned anything. If I thought I could win and I had the money I thought about taking Kindercare to court. The bottom line is this, from infant to 2 years Kindercare was great if you want to spend the money. Honestly the staff is wonderful. However, this is not a learning center. After two years if you are a parent who cares about your child learning basic skills like reading and writing take your child somewhere else.

DO NOT SND YOUR CHILDREN HERE. I would never send my children to this place. The teachers show no respect to the children, yelling in their faces, grabbing them way too hard, showing zero passion and patience for these poor helpless children. These teachers are uneducated and have no idea how to treat children. The building and classrooms are filthy, the materials are old and a lot are broken. The books are torn up, pages missing, obviously shown no respect and had been there for way too long. Please do not send your children here!!! My heart broke when I saw how the kids were treated!!! Unless you want your children disrespected, yelled at in their face, grabbed inappropriately, and shown no compassion or patience, then please, DO NOT SEND YOUR CHILDREN HERE.

I think the problem at this daycare begins with the director. I cant sit here and totally blame the teachers because if the director was a better leader she would keeps better teachers.shes totally rude to parent and staff. Kids needs stability and with teachers constantly leaving because of her the children are losing the stability they need. It also seems like the staff need more training to work with kids. Very money centered and less foucus on child development.

Our daughter has been at KinderCare Evanston for over a year now, starting in the Infant Room and moving to Toddlers. We have had none of the problems described in the reviews below. In addition, if leadership is an issue, there is a new Center Director, in place for the past several months. Our daughter has loved her time at KC in Evanston. She loves her teachers and she loves her friends.

kinda care is not the place you want to send your child. their facility is not clean. the kids are always sick from ring worms to pink eye. even the teachers had ring worm and pink eye. kinda care needs a new director to fix its hygiene
