His Grace Montessori House of Oakbrook Terrace

I called to inquired about the school and the lady who answered the phone was extremely rude stating her boss was out of town. She hung up before I could ask any more questions. When I called back she stated. “You just called me.” I’m like I know I had some other questions. She hung up again! Very disappointed in an organization called His Grace.

His grace Montessori school is a safe haven and i'm so glad I selected this to be my children's school they had no reviews but I let faith guide me ,being a mother of 6 my 2 youngest have never been to a day care or school, I was lucky enough to have my oldest daughter care for them and then covid happen and everyone was scared to send ther kids to daycare, I work down the street so its close. I absolutely wish I could give this center 10 stars.. I love Miss Victoria ,miss nazia, they are so great with the kids ,I LOVE ALL THE TEACHER'S THERE but I interact most with these 2 ladies. My children started here last october of 2022,and since they have learned so much There so advanced now, The teach them to cook and life skills as well as academic skills ,the school communicates with you very well ,they also send pictures of the kids doing activities ,the part I loved the most is they are implementing mindfulness which you don't see these days and prayer why that was taking out of schools ill never understand that because without god nothing is possible ......when my daughter showed me how she meditates and prays that warmed my heart. The homemade good quality food choices they serve is definetly a plus healthy and organic,when I asked to bring treats for birthday they were very consious of good choices to bring like fruit,healthy organic options no cakes or sweets I really loved that ,So that all being said I want other parents to know that the experience your children will receive is life changing ,My kids were 3 and 5 when they started and did not know how to read or write and they accomplished that in 6mths I could go on and Im so glad I can leave a review to help other parents choose a great place for your children my mind was always at ease knowing they were in good hands Dionne Thank you His Grace for being so amazing

Great place to have your kid at, mine hasn't died yet so they're good. Recommend.

I like this daycare and can truly recommend! My son is attending the infant group and since he started to go there, it looks like he develops much faster than with me at home. Definitely, when having another baby, i will start also from here! What the director told me during first visit there and what i can agree with, it's not a fancy daycare in a fancy building, at least from the first sight :) Building may look not so enhancing from outside, however after entering inside you will get nicely surprised by surrounding you colors, toys and homey atmosphere! Teachers are strict, but in the same time lovely and truly caring, my baby comes back everyday with a smile. What i also like about them - all of the teachers are older, with plenty of experience. Kashmira, my baby teacher, is a true magician! :) She was able to make my baby fall asleep nicely in a crib already on the first week, without bigger effort, while for us, at home, is not that easy and requires some effort (rocking, walking, all of the tricks). Obviously experience plays a key role here :) She is so lovely, that she send me pics of my troublemaker every day, so I can catch up on his day and don't feel so sad about leaving him there, while going to work. I don't have to worry about his well-being, because I know he is in good, caring hands. Another nice perk is a fact that daycare center is quite small, therefore kids are getting more direct approach. For me center is some sort of transition between home daycare and regular, big daycare center facility, which works perfectly for me. I have feeling that in this way it gives you the best of these 2 worlds (attention and caring, while being still in small, age appropriate groups). They may be little bit old fashioned, because instead of the daycare app you get the daily report paper card, but i'm okay with that. There are small things, which can be improved, but probably comes with the time. Daycare is quite new, i believe they opened shortly before COVID (2019?), so therefore not so commonly know in the area, but I think it is a true gem on the local daycare map. Located in Oakbrook Terrace, i think it is 2 min drive from mayor roads (Roosvelt and Butterfield), so drop in/off is not an issue here.
