Reach For The Stars Child Care Academy Inc 5365 West North Avenue, Chicago, IL 60639

"Horrible place I wouldn't recommend nobody to put their child in this place. My children was in this daycare for only a month I took them out last night when the owner said my child couldn't come back without a doctor note because she had diarrhea from eating they food I asked them to show me in their policy where it says a child needs a doctor note for diarrhea and the owner said he doesn't have one and got ghetto on me. I Also noticed my son came home with bumps on him yesterday after being there for 6hrs. The place smells like something rotting, they need to clean it up a little more they are very unprofessional in there its not enough classrooms and the owner looks like a creep he blew my phone up every chance he got and always followed me around the place. They also put my 2 yr old son in the same room as his 7month sister he wasnt learning anything being in there. Onetime my children had running nose they said my kids couldn't stay there until they went to the doctor and had a doctor note my kids only started getting sick after attending this place and they need doctor note for everything but it doesn't say nothing about that in their policy. This is not a good school at all I will be REPORTING them."

"Horrible. Horrible. Horrible. This place is alll of ghetto. It smells like rotty diapers, granted it is a daycare, but I've been to daycare where that smell is not as pungent even if present. It's not the cleanest place. The instructor, has a really bad attitude problem. All kids are in one big class, so my child was learning things she previously was taught. It's not individualized. They aren't watching them. There's no constructive curriculum going on. Just a generic, lesson they just came up with for the day. Oh, 24 hour daycare only applies if there is more than 1 kid who needs 24 hours. If not, they close at 5:30. Run and run fast. They need to shut this place down"

"Hi I have owned this child care for over twelve years now. My favorite thing about working with children would be seeing their smiling faces as they have achieved a task that they have been working their hardest on. I believe education starts and home, and ends with educators and parents working together in unity. This center yearly passes all it's city and federal requirements with flying colors, if not we would not have been in business this long. Our staff members are all certified by city and state regulation. We follow a weekly lesson plan that encourages children to learn from creativity. There is is camera placed throughout the facility to monitor any and all activities. In a business you encounter all types of clients and workers. Sometimes you are labeled the bad person when you have to make the tough decision. I believe that when parents leave there children in my care, I take a 100 percent ownership. I tell my clients that when they leave I become mom and dad and will do everything in my power, to protect my children. I love my day care And I'm So Glad God Placed Me in this field. THANK YOU FATHER!"

"My son has attended Angel Wings Daycare for over a year, and I am not please at all. There are several issues that are embedded in the daycare center. Issue #1- The teachers ar not really focused in the children education, the teachers main focus is making sure the kids stay sleep all day long with the lights off all day and night. Issue #2- The Owners and the Directors are incompetent of informing parents about incidents that occur and important paper work that is needed. Issue #3- The daycare center is not fully clean at all; it smells like dirty pampers. Issue #4- Many parents are confused as to why children in a daycare have to wear uniforms. Issue #5- The directors, owners, and teachers have a lack of communication about the hours children are to be at daycare. Issue #6- There is a high turnover rate in the teacher and directors that are employed at the center; this is bad because your children can get used to someone that they care most about. Issue #7- Majority of the teachers don't have any knowledge on how to write a full incident report; my suggestions would be to increase the requirements, such as a high school diploma. I don't recommend any one to attend this daycare."

"There curriculum is very basic it wouldn't be complicated because everyone there looks to be no older than 25 and uneducated. The owner is ghetto as hell as well as her workers. I went in for an interview and they kept interrupting to ask her what she wanted for lunch at 10:45am. It's overcrowded it seems. Their babyroom is filled with about 30 infants with two workers. They couldn't even remember kids names when I went for the interview."
