Nurturing Development & Learning

"I really love this all-year-round daycare/ alternative schooling. The staff is caring, compassionate, concerning not only with your babies but, the entire family. I have nothing bad to say only everything great to say.. A perfectly safe place for your babies...."

"I have always been nervous when it came to daycares because of the stories I have heard. I recently moved to Calumet City I drove pass NDLA everyday on my way to work so I decided to look into them for my baby. I can't speak for everyone else experience but from day one everyone has been so friendly and they show the kids so much love and attention. I love my son teachers especially Ms.Ethel. Ms. Elva has been amazing from the start she help me in everyway possible when I was signing him up. What I love most about NDLA is its not just a daycare but more of a school. My son is only 3 months and he has an actively log that is sent home with him everyday and the joy that he will be able to complete head start with them is a plus. Don't let others give you a view of NDLA, check it out yourself. I love it!!!!"

"I have visited multiple childcare facilities and this NDLA group is absolutely outstanding in the way they care for the children."

"This review is fresh July 2019. I do not recommend. It looks nice on the outside but the people are not on the inside. First, it’s mandatory you pay $60-70 extra twice a year for taffy apples if your child is not in head start. They don’t take many trips at all and one of them was a walk to “Wendy’s”. The Director does not communicate the best and does not listen well and communicate effectively with the parents in my opinion. The staff seems stressed. The receptionist looks like she has a attitude every day. The 3yr teacher I’m head start is about the only decent one that is good with her kids. If she didn’t have my son I would’ve been left. There’s a older teacher with the smaller babies that looks mean and don’t need to be around anybody’s baby. Oh and if your child’s father is active be aware of the Staff asking him if he’s still on the market or not. The staff found it appropriate to ask my son’s father about our personal love life to attempt to hook him up with others or with herself. However you call it, extremely disrespectful and unprofessional when we both bring our child there, I was already out the door because of the poor professionalism and communication but that just put the icing on the cake. This is a real review so save your time and take your baby somewhere else. You’ll thank me later."

"My kids and my self didn't like this daycare. Some of the staff was rude and unprofessional and their "summer camp" it's not fun at all."
