Educational Opportunities for Children and Families: Administration

"Great coworkers, great front for growth, but that's about it. Higher up is disconnected and returning to old ways of nepotism, gas lighting and demeaning/ punitive interventions. Look for actions (despite what they say). Beware of being different in any way...they will not harm, but will equally not help in any way. Unless it's Grear, who might actually harm.... The select few that are indeed harmful...unfortunately have ultimate say in company direction and are untouchable. Definitely on your own outside of direct team members."

"A great program that has helped my son tremendously. An awesome staff that not only has the kids in mind but also has the family in mind. They support diverse groups and try their best to make sure all children are cared for. This is a great program and I'm so blessed to have them in my life."

"My son was 1 when COVID hit, and because of that was home with us. We recognized around that time (1 yo) and the Dr confirmed when he turned 2 that he has a speech delay (Dr was hesitant to confirm prior). We were referred to EOCF where he was placed in a blended program (teaching both children who have developmental delays and those who don't) housed at Orchards Elem. Hands down has been the BEST experience for my child. Not only was he able to build his social skills and make friends, but his language has improved as well which has positively impacted his confidence. He is picking up new words almost daily and has the benefit of learning from a speech therapist 1x/week through this program. His teachers are amazing and genuinely care about the students. They also encourage parents participation as much as possible. I highly recommend EOCF. They really care about the children and their families. Thank you EOCF!"

"The St. John’s location is the worst preschool location from the program...try mini school preschool or St Lutherans....I changed my entire schedule just so he can attend a PM class and the teachers call CPS on you for any small infraction because it’s the Law! They don’t celebrate any Xmas,valentines day etc....they like praise other cultures instead!"

"While the teachers are hardworking and great. The curriculem is not allowing the teaching of space and dinosaurs. While this may seem small. This restricts the child's imagination and wonder about the world. This program is going downhill."
