Kids & Company

"I had my son there for a few months. When he started (March 6th), I made sure to mention that we will be traveling in the summer for a long vacations but didn’t have our dates yet. I was advised I had to give two month notice, so on March 16th, I wrote an email again telling them we will be traveling in July but did not have exact dates yet as we had not purchased our ticket. Fast forward to end of May when I email our dates and all hell broke loose. First, the director Pam pretended she was not notified. When I referred her to my email from March, she said it was a response to one of her email so it wasn’t considered a written notice. Second, she seemed to have an issue with the fact my son would be gone for two months and even suggested I withdraw him. So after we discussed at home, we decided to do just that and withdraw him. Well, I guess we didn’t give them two month notice for withdrawing him. Long story short, they still ended up charging us one complete month even though he went only 3 days out of that month. They had the full intent to charge us a second month but after all the noise I made with their corporate office, only July was charged. The director Pam is rude, inconsiderate and down right mean. The manager Munira is probably the most pleasant person to deal with at this place. She is sweet, kind and will actually get to know and love your child. It’s too bad, she’s not the one in charge. The teachers will share at times how much they are taken advantage of and the low wages and bad attitude of the people above them. I have two boys, and I will definitely not be bringing them back to this place. We were just $$$ for them and that’s all they cared about."

"We have been a part of the Kids & Co Schaumburg family since 2016. My son went through the school from the time he was 18 months to 5 years (when COVID) hit. My daughter has currently been attending for the past year. We love everything about Kids & Co. The teachers my kids have had and currently have are amazing. My son is now in 3rd grade and still talks about his time with his teachers at Kids & Co. The programs they have for the kids are amazing at preparing them for the elementary school years. They also have fun themed days and weeks for the kids, along with summer fun events. Both Pam and Munira have been amazing to work with and are kind and supportive of my family’s needs. We couldn’t think of a better place or people to take care of and teach our children. Thank you Schaumburg Kids & Co!"

"Hello, parents. I want to tell my horrendous experience with Kids & Company. My daughter (around one year old) went to this kindergarten in Chicago. I don't check the camera in class because of my busy schedule. However, one time my husband checked it and saw the teacher, Christina, kicking the chair my daughter was sitting on, and my daughter's head almost touched her back as if it was a car crash. Then I checked it the day after and found Christina(again) forcefully grabbed the toy my daughter was carrying, dragged her, and pushed her against the wall, pointing her disgusting fingers at my daughter's face. We only watched the camera a couple of times; no idea what had happened on the days we hadn't monitored. When I complained about the event to the principal, she didn't care at all when Christina confessed her wrongdoing. We asked about the recordings, but they stated they don't record them. Now, simply because we complained and told this occasion to people, we are not able to receive our $1000 deposit. Those of you who let your kids attend Kids & Company or are about to send your kid, please record the camera recordings on your phone whenever possible. You will never know what will happen to your kids."

"Kid&Co has been great to work with and very attentive to the needs of our son. He has food allergies and eczema. We review the menu with them to id what food he can't eat and they make all the adjustments needed. A copy of his food allergies is kept in the kitchen and with the the teacher. Food options are rotated on seasonal basis, are interesting, and nutritious. The teachers are great with our requests to use specific soap and lotions for his skin. All our requests have received positive responses and they make sure he is cared for. Lessons plans are communicated weekly and daily updates provided. The director sends regular emails about events and several news letters. They have an app to track communications, account info, documents, and supplies. The teachers truly care for the kids and make sure they are safe. Every time we pick him up he is happy and playing. We are happy to have found this place."

"Both of my kids have been going to Kids & CO Schaumberg since they were 6 months old. The teachers along with the director (Ms. Pam) are absolutely incredible. The center is always clean and the teachers are always engaging with the kids. It is a safe environment with vibrant colors , fun activity rooms and outdoor play too. The center is always doing fun things to keep the kids smiling and learning all day long. Both of my kids run to their classrooms every morning because they are excited to see their teachers and friends. We consider this center our Home away from home and everyone inside it family! We couldn't be more happy as it took us a long time to find a center we could call home."
