Christian LEG Early Learning Preschool - Chicago, Illinois

I am so happy that I came across Christian LEG Early Learning Preschool! I was recommended by a former students family. I transitioned my son from a different daycare due to my work schedule and I was afraid that he would have a hard time. That was not the case. My son had a very smooth transition! The staff was very helpful with paperwork and assured he would be taken care of. And let me just say, they were right! He’s so happy when I drop him off and when I pick him up! He loves the staff already! I am very pleased with communication and the overall care being provided to my son daily!

Christian Leg is a very good daycare. Staff are very welcoming. They notify parent of everything they observe with the kids. Both of my sons have speech delay and behavioral problems, but they are slowly doing better. They also send parent activities being done in class by student. My kids are happy and ready to go there every day. I thank the team for all they do, will definitely recommend!!!!

I’ve found an incredible group of models for my son! It's wonderful to know that they've been patient, resilient, and understanding and for that I feel confident in their ability to care for him. Building a strong relationship with my son’s teachers is so important, and it's clear that I’ve built great connection with them. It's even more fantastic that I feel empowered to communicate effectively with them about my son's well-being and any concerns I may have. Imma always and KEEP nurturing that positive relationship I have with them!!! I can’t thank these individuals enough for alll they do and HAVE done!!!!

AMAZING school. Friendly and welcoming staff. My child looks forward to going to school every day and talks about his teacher and his classmates all the time. (He’s really spoiled and won’t stay with no one besides me so the way he walks into school every morning with no problem super happy and excited to be there, that itself says it all) They also have a great curriculum, he’s always learning new things catching me by surprise. I 100% recommend them.

I’m rating this place a 3.5 only for the simple fact its a clean environment and plenty of toys. However there's no academic plan for the kids to read, write, or simply learn their ABC’s. If you are desperately looking for a daycare and don't really care about an academic plan, I’d recommend this place but if you do I’d look elsewhere. The owner punishes the kids by making them watch the other kids eat and wait for their food. She lets one of her workers Ms. Wright throw the kids around and yank them.

Furthermore, if your someone who is looking for employment here, the owner is very disrespectful and speaks to you as if your a child. She is very snarky and let her bitterness comes in between being cordial with her employees (especially if your young in age) It's to the point where you can't even enjoy why your there (for the kids) because Ms. Mallory makes the experience quite miserable. It's a toxic work environment I found employment elsewhere and quit afterwards. It's quite a shame you can't enjoy your passion due to the hate and bitterness of an unprofessional work environment.

Professional,Black Owned, Informative, Warm welcoming are just a few to describe my experience with Christian LEG Early learning preschool. The staff there are pleasant and knowledgeable on education needs for the children. My son has been attending the school since he was one years old. I can tell my son loves his teachers and his environment. I would encourage new parents to check out the school.

I would not recommend Christian LEG.
Ms. Mallory, the daycare owner treated my child extremely unfair along with her staff. My child was so unhappy here and would put her head down everyday when she walked into this preschool. They do not embrace or care for children the way I thought they did.
Ms Mallory, is desperate for parents reviews, to lie and highlight her daycare when in fact she is not the one teaching but the one sitting at her desk almost all the time.

As a teacher my self, professionalism and healthy communication is my top priority.
Ms Mallory, did not know how to communicate properly, so she would make comments about me sending emails, because unfortunately she lacked writing professional emails without having incorrect grammar and slang language.

There is ONLY ONE teacher at this school trying to teach 20 + kids and sometimes both group of classes. The teacher there is overwhelmed, over worked and frustrated about the teaching setting and not being paid on time. Ms Mallory does not have a trustworthy relationship with her staff. She walks around and usually doesn’t speak or communicate with the teacher.
If I had known this prior to enrolling my child no way I would’ve trusted this daycare with caring for my child.

We wasted a lot of money on this daycare. There is absolutely NO curriculum. For 6 months my 3 1/2 year old daughter came home with a piece of paper with just scribble coloring, or tracing her name. I kept asking Ms. Mallory about the curriculum she would always get offended because she didn’t have one, and because there is only 1 teacher.

When I picked up my child, she was so unhappy leaving this preschool.
A month ago I checked their Facebook page just to see my child, the only child at this preschool sitting alone by herself lonely and sad on multiple occasions. During circle time she was always the child not being included in the activities. They Isolated my child from other kids all the time. What kind of message does this send to a child by you ignoring their emotions and feelings? The staff here has no empathy and ignore children when they need to be more nurtured, understood and appreciated.

When my daughter started to experience a lot of frustrations, I reached out to Ms Mallory to let her know and she said, “Well I’m glad she’s not doing it here.” Another example of how unfit and unprofessional this daycare owner was to me and my family.

It was very clear why my child was always sad, because the staff refused to have a nurturing, and healthy relationship with my daughter. As a result my daughter did not want to be here. I was fed up when my child expressed how mean they were treating her.

Seeing my child blossom now with her new teachers and friends in a highly academic curriculum setting with love and support from all the teachers brings me so much joy. She is extremely happy and the teachers are so incredible and highly qualified.

It is very sad that this daycare has gotten away with intentionally hurting kids feelings and not embracing them. I would never recommend this daycare to anyone.

Warm welcoming, Family friendly school, my daughter has been going here for a few months and it’s not a day she’s isn’t coming home with a story (happiness)!!! She loves all her teachers, and friends… I feel at peace knowing when I drop her off she’s in great hands…. I look forward to what’s to come
