I have used this provider for more than 6 months

I always tell everyone how much I love the fact I chose School of Life as my daughter’s preschool. The teachers were always positive and showed lots of love to the children. I always had a hard time getting my daughter out of the school which was a good thing ????. I really love how my daughter’s reading improved. She is now receiving straight A’s at her elementary school and I couldn’t do it without the help from the staff. I appreciate everyone here.

My experience at the School Of Life Preschool has been magnificent. With the academic structure, my kids were prepared for elementary school. I would totally recommend this preschool.

The School of Life did wonders for our daughter. The staff were very warm and friendly. The Director is very passionate about the development of children and her philosophy is evident. They were always very empathetic and compassionate in their interactions with the students and parents. My daughter Zora was always happy to go to school. The team of teachers were very creative and supported her socially and emotionally. Their academic program is stellar. My daughter flourished and was able to get into the Latin School of Chicago lower school after leaving the School of life preschool. She was reading above average. We attribute her success to the School of Life. We highly recommend this preschool.

This is one of the best daycares to put your child/children in..They are friendly, attentive ,and love on your children..Your child learns a lot of educational skills that most daycares don’t provide, and when I say they learn....THEY LEARN...They give that one on one with children to help those who don’t comprehend as well in groups and help build confident in themselves in learning..They also have patience and help potty train your children.If I could rate them a 10 I would ,Thanks Preschool of life!My daughter has learned so much from you guys????Go check them out

School of Life Preschool is the best facility that I have ever used for childcare. It has a small setting, low to no staff turnover and they have a great educational curriculum! No playing all day for these children they prepare them for kindergarten. They are so personable you feel like you are part of the family. My child had been there for approx. 3 years and has learned so much. I especially appreciate how she learns about Spirituality being a faith based organization. They provide assistance to families as needed in so many ways. Love them. The only negative thing is that the school only can have children from 15 months of age to 6 years max. If they could accept infants and after school children That would be awesome! Great place for childcare and beyond!

If your child feels fearful of another adult and tells you... listen to him/her!!! My baby has complained every day for the last 3weeks about going to a daycare. I walked in today and they literally had her isolated by herself on the floor, while the other children were playing on the rug and being attended to by staff. I walked back in unannounced after speaking to the owner about the unprofessional staff and how her teacher purposely ignores her needs because my baby reported that she HIT HER !!! I addressed all of these things with the teacher and owner, but they denied everything of course. However, Today let me know exactly how they run this center and treat my child! Now looking for a new and improved center that have well trained genuine staff working there. Lastly, Staff strap children to car seats for time out, which is corporate punishment in itself. I DO NOT RECOMMEND “School of Life Preschool

Owner response : We have been open for 6 years and this the only negative review we have ever gotten. Ms Bbond allowed her personal relationships with the staff in our preschool to cloud her judgement. This review is a retaliation based on her anger. Upon investigation using video footage and interviews her allegations was not supported.
