Testimonials

On 5/8/2026 meriem elbabor had this to say:
I have had such a positive experience with this daycare since the very beginning. One thing I truly appreciate as a parent is how transparent and understanding the director has been when it comes to tuition and costs. Everything was explained clearly from the start, with no surprises, and the prices are honestly much more affordable compared to many other daycare centers that charge extremely high rates. The director is always supportive, helpful, and willing to work with parents when it comes to paperwork, applications, and any questions or concerns. It really makes a difference to feel welcomed and understood as a parent. My son is currently enrolled in the Pre-K classroom, and I have been very happy with his experience. The environment is caring, supportive, and positive, and I feel comfortable knowing he is in good hands every day. I truly appreciate the dedication and kindness shown by the staff, and I would definitely recommend this center to other families looking for quality care at a reasonable cost

On 11/5/2025 M K had this to say:
As a parent of two children currently enrolled at Blooming Minds Early Learning Center—one in the infant room and one in the preschool classroom—I feel it’s important to share my personal experience to help clarify any misconceptions. From the very beginning, the teachers and staff at Blooming Minds have been nothing but loving, patient, and professional. The infant teachers in particular show an incredible amount of care and gentleness toward each baby. They treat every child as their own—offering warm cuddles, attentive feedings, and individualized routines that make both babies and parents feel secure. The center maintains strict safety and supervision standards, and communication with parents is always open and transparent. I receive daily updates, photos, and notes that show how attentive and nurturing the staff truly are. Reaponses to any questions or concerns we have are always prompt. I can confidently say that my children are thriving, happy, and well cared for at Blooming Minds. The team deserves recognition for creating such a safe, clean, and loving environment where children are valued and respected every single day.

I can’t say enough good things about Blooming Minds, Ms. K., Ms. Fary, Ms. Lus, Abuelita, and all of the other teachers there. My two children loved going every morning and we loved the warmth, attention, and education they received. This is a group of women who truly care about kids, it’s very easy to see. The thing that stood out to me the most during our “interview” with Ms. K., was the amount of kids coming into her office to say, “hi!” and “bye!” We’ve gone through quite a few childcare facilities (we either didn’t end up liking the people who cared for our kids, the cost of tuition increased, we felt they were no longer safe, etc.) and I had never seen anything like it. The only reason we left Blooming Minds was because we moved to a different city and could no longer manage the 2 hour commute (1 hour there and back in the morning and 1 hour there and back in the evening) and had to find a different facility, closer to our new home. We loved it there so much, though, that we did try to stay with them for 2 months after we moved, but it proved to be too taxing. Their cost of tuition is very reasonable and while the facility itself may not have all the “bells and whistles”, it’s warm and welcoming with a focus on learning through fun. If you need trustworthy childcare, please consider Blooming Minds! We cannot thank them enough for their care of our kids and their patience with us during a time of transition for our family.

This review is LONG overdue & I CANNOT say enough about this fabulous learning center. : ) Truly kind, caring, humans work here. ALL the staff was fabulous: Ms. Kanwal, Ms. Fary, Ms. Suma, Ms. Janeth, Ms. Lus, Ms. Fidelia, Ms. Sally & most of all Ms. K!. We were really sad to leave, due to distance logistics & some tears were shed by us, but this entire staff worked with us. I would recommend this facility in a heartbeat & hope more day cares were like this one. We will truly miss you all. Thank you for taking such good care of my grandkids! JT

On 10/9/2025 Mars Anderson had this to say:
My son has been going to Blooming Minds since he was 18-months old and he’s now 2. He loves his teachers, and points proudly at each activity he makes! Once he turned 2, the teachers helped his speech and is now talking nonstop. I remember touring around other facilities, being very adamant on viewing the environment as a whole - social engagement, the involvement of the staff, intentional curriculum for their age group to build life skills, but most importantly demonstrating patience, care and empathy to the kids. Miss K, the daycare director, has really fostered a safe and positive environment for not only the kids to thrive but the staff!! Everyone is super caring/empathetic, attentive, and enjoys doing what they do. I won’t go anywhere else with my son being so close to his teachers. It gives me a peace of mind knowing he’s in the best hands. Especially with the importance of cultural diversity here, which is a must coming from Chicago!
