UChicago CDC Drexel managed by Bright Horizons

Feedback Summary: - Unpleasant Tour: I visited for a tour, and it was horrible. The baby cried on the floor for the entire 45 minutes. I told the front desk, but they did nothing. The lad said if she’s worried, she would check. I saw the other teacher talking while the baby was crying. She said she was busy. This is the day my baby will not come here. - Beautiful Center but Discriminatory: It is a lovely place, but during the tour, I explained that my son needed special attention, and they declined. They sent me to a medical daycare, which isn’t in Chicago. The director was the one who turned us away. - Positive Experience: My family enrolled my child here when he was five months, and he’s now 2.5 years old. The teachers are experienced and kind, making our son feel safe. They’ve helped raise our son, and they feel like part of our family. - Wonderful Environment: Our daughter has been at this school for two years, and she is more lively and happy. The place is full of love and joy, and it’s worth the charges. My daughter can’t wait to go back every morning. - Mixed Feelings: My family used this center for four years. Both my children were here from infancy, and it’s worth the money. We formed great bonds with the teachers and other parents. Our son transitioned to pre-K with ease, thanks to the teachers. I, Jennifer, and Ron was sad when our son left. - Well-rounded Services: I had my kids here when I was a grad student, and this place is a block from the Reg, which was convenient. I preferred it to a Montessori daycare I’d previously taken them to. Teachers introduce different subjects, and the administration is good. The boys loved the place, and they’d go back if they knew how to speak. - Labeling: I noticed that 90% of babies here are underweight. This is because they dislike the food. If this is corrected, the center will improve. - Favorable Review: My daughter had a tremendous year here, and she loved the teachers, especially Ms. Shae. If I had another kid, I’d refer them to UChicago CDC Drexel.
