A-Plus Day School

Wonderful and affordable child care. I have visited/​toured many facilities before enrolling my children at A+ Day School in Palatine. There are two locations in Palatine, we attend the Sterling Rd. Campus. My kids have never been happier. The teachers are absolutely amazing! My boys often times complain when I pick them up, they do not want to leave and can’t wait to go back the next day. Prior to enrolling at A+ we were at The Learning Loft in Palatine, which is like a mini-​boot camp for kids; they are extremely strict with the children. I have walked in on teachers and even the owner of Learning Loft screaming in small children’s faces on numerous occasions, and have heard the same from other Learning Loft parents, there is also no running allowed in or out of the school. Not even on the playground. But A+ is not like that! So, naturally when my children started at A+ they were much happier. Here, they are allowed to be kids. They can run and yell and have all the fun kids should be having. The day is structured like any other facility, they have academics, but the teachers make it lots of fun and engage the children. I cannot tell stress enough how amazing the staff is! My youngest is in the ²⁄₃ room and he is always bringing home the most creative and cute art projects. In addition, they have various special events for the kids throughout the year, graduations, performances, etc. My oldest attends before/​after care. Upon his return from the elementary school, the staff at after care help him with his homework, in addition to having them complete other fun activities. There is in indoor gym which my oldest LOVES! No matter the weather, there is a place for the kids to let loose and burn some energy. I am always greeted by a smiling teacher when I pick my kids up from the secure facility; they use a keypad entry which I like because key cards are not as safe because if you loose it, anyone can use it, but each parent has their own code to enter the building. I drive 10 minutes out of my way every morning to take my kids to A+, even though there is a Kinder Care and Learning Loft closer to our home. If you are looking for childcare for your infant-​school age child — check out this place, your kids will thank you!
