Glenview Knowledge Beginnings

Weve been sending our kids to Knowledge Beginnings for years and are so grateful for the warm, nurturing environment created by the wonderful co-Director Debbie and her team. Our kids have some incredible, truly dedicated and loving teachers, and we trust that they are safe and loved at KB every day!

DO NOT SEND YOUR CHILD HERE. I strongly advise you do not send your child here. We had a list of issues. Our child was sent home with dirty and crusty clothes on even though he had spare clothes available to change him into. The billing was consistently wrong. The classrooms feel very loud and overcrowded. They are also dark and dingy. The security is not up to par. There is never any staff sitting in the lobby monitoring who leaves and enters. The code can be passed to anyone. The parking lot lights are all broken which makes it difficult navigating a dark parking lot at night with small children. The final straw was when I saw a teacher in my sons room get physically and verbally aggressive with a child, she was maybe 12 months. I reported it and was told by the Director She ( the teacher) needs to be reminded that she works with babies. The teacher was suspended but that is not good enough. I asked the Director to check the cameras to confirm what I saw and I was told none of the cameras work in the classrooms. THAT IS NOT ACCEPTABLE. We pulled our child out THE SAME DAY and he will not return. Do not send your child here. It is not worth the small savings it was compared to facilities in the area. I cannot say it enough - PLEASE DO NOT SEND YOUR CHILD HERE. It is not a good environment and I am so disappointed in myself that I sent my child there and that I trusted them to run a safe and caring space for my child. I wish I could contact the little girl's parents who I saw mistreated by the teacher but I do not know them. I hope they were notified and I hope they removed their child from this facility.

Weve been with KB for over 2 years (since our child was 2, now 4.5) and while weve had our ups and downs (even leaving for a short stint), I cannot stress how amazing our teachers and assistant director have been. We left for 4 months for a better daycare and I saw immediate negative effects on my child because the teachers, directors, and overall environment werent even close to as loving and caring as the teachers weve had at KB. Within the first few days of being back at KB, we saw a complete turnaround in our childs behavior, mood, and happiness. Another source of comfort and care is the assistant director, Debbie, who has been a constant partner in the care of my child. Through changes in directors and teachers, Debbie has always been there and has always made me feel confident that there will always be someone at the center who truly loves and cares about my childs wellbeing. If you are looking for something like a Montessori daycare, this isnt it. But if youre looking for a place where your child can learn to be creative, learn to enjoy learning, develop close friendships due to an abundance of free play, KB is the way to go.
