Bright Horizons at Lakeshore East - Chicago, Illinois

My son has been attending the center for the last 6 months and we are very happy with his advancement and development. The teachers are amazing! Love the location!

They have numerous different types of indoor activities daily and take the children to the River Walk or Maggie Daley Park for outdoor playtime.

The app provides daily pictures and sometimes videos. Every day I can’t wait to read the daily report and see all the fun my child has had throughout the day!!

My only regret is that I didn’t enroll my son earlier. The city of Chicago Covid restrictions were a major factor for postponing but I think the teachers would have been able to help guide him wearing a mask.

Bright Horizons at Lakeshore East is the greatest child care that I have ever met. It has an excellent management system, from check-in and check-out confirmation to Daily Report, which includes nearly everything about our son such as meals, health, learning and outdoor activities.

Snapshots in the daily report provide us with not only a lot of vivid memories of activities but also confirmation of his safety. All of those could be easily accessible on the email and Bright Horizons App. Most of all, all teachers are warm and considerate. They are excellent guides for children's nature to explore the entirely new environment, especially for our son. Luoshi loves Miss Dawn and frequently mentions her at home. We are very grateful and appreciate all you’ve done.

We love our Bright Horizons at Lakeshore East! We have the most thoughtful, caring, and loving team of teachers. It is the most comforting feeling to know that my child is safe in a very friendly environment. During the winter season, he hasnt been sick a single time - it says a lot about the their great approach to sterilizing the classrooms and making sure that everyone is well and healthy. Tons of thanks to our wonderful teachers❤️

Our two sons attended Bright Horizons at Lakeshore East.

We love the proximity of the wonderful Lakeshore East Park, river walk, marina, Maggie Daley Park and the community. Kids often go to explore the neighborhood and learn in the field. The center has developed many protocols and measures for the COVID-19 times, fire emergencies etc. We had a great experience with kind and loving teachers, most recently: Mr. Greg, Ms. Brittany and Ms. Dawn. The daily updates with pictures in the app are very helpful and excellent to see the progress of your child's day and keeping up with their milestones. It is great to see friendships developing there between kids and teachers.

Our child has gone to Bright Horizons at Lake Shore East for one year by now. We are truly pleased with many aspects of the center. The management is excellent, as well as the app used for communications. Receiving photos and notes makes a huge diffence we always look forward to the moment when documentation is uploaded. During the pandemic, they had the stricter rules we knew of, and that was truly reassuring. As a result, we barely had any COVID-19 cases (quite different with respect to other schools). Our child learnt a lot, the teachers are really good. Most of them are also warm, and kind. Our child loved Mr Greg and loves Miss Brittany and Miss Dawn, talks about them and smiles when we look at photos together. The location of the center is beautiful and one of the reasons we chose it. We were looking for a daycare that would take the kids out for walks in the park, runs in the park. This is excellent for that, the kids walk to Maggie Daley park, take full advantage of that amazing space; they also walk along the river. The space inside the center is rather limited, yet the teachers are very good in creating playing opportunities, arts and crafts etc. Of course, the lack of large space is impacting the activity level during the winter.
We love those days when the environment is cheerful, kids have spontaneous interactions, dance, and there is some screaming (!). A lot depends on the chemistry between the kids and the teachers, and among the kids themselves, but we think this is something to strive for. Kids should be kids!

They push their own beliefs on young children. If you value your child's future at all then you'd be very ket your child go to ANY of these indoctrination places.

This is the worst daycare I have ever seen .. they treat children as in military school rather than a daycare !
