Kindercare has been a place that I have always had great memories from me as a child and now my son. I love the way it is structured for learning. But more than that, Kindercare the John Humphrey location in Orland Park is a dream come true. As a new mom and relocating to a different state, a safe learning environment was pertinent for my son. Now throw in a pandemic and racial tension, and it made everything harder. As a parent, I wanted to make sure my child went to a place where he learned and children looked like him and other races. My son was one that typically doesn`t like going to new places, however, one day one when Ms Melissa the director came out to greet us and took my son from me, I knew it was the place to be. She showed him so much love and care. She has been like that from day one and still continues. I appreciate all the staff there. Especially the assistant director and my son's teachers. I have seen a huge difference in my son's learning. He also is always excited when I pick him up to share what he learned at school. Well, as much as a two years can share! If you are looking for a good place to send your children. This is the place to go. I gladly recommend it to anyone looking for childcare.
