We had to withdraw our bilingual child from KinderCare because the kindergarten program is not accredited by the State( the principal of Fremont school sent my husband an email and we were stunned to hear it after spending money on this non accredited program (1400 dollars per month) and the teacher did not prepare our bilingual child for the first grade readiness test( she had. The teacher did not give our daughter's feedback about her progress, her activities. She did not reply to our emails or our phone calls. We complained when the teacher gave us a poor report card, written in pencil, and there was not the teacher's signature and our daughter's attendance and appreciation! What it upset our husband the teacher only gave us a weekly newsletter but she did not communicate individually with parents. In her newsletter, there is no method to teach sight words, vocabulary and prepare the test( no feedback at all, no meeting with the teacher, it is frustrating, you spend a lot of money ). The teacher did not see me to talk about my daughter's tests, activities etc. It was a frustrating and stressful experience. we had lost a lot of money( about 1400 per month) on this non accredited program. If your child struggles, the teacher does not contact you. YOu have to figure out, besides the director was not sincere. She told us her program was accredited and prepared children for the first grade readiness test in public schools, which is not true. Our daughter failed the test. Stay away from this non accredited program! It is not recognized by the State of Illinois, do not spend so much money. If you are a parent who cares about your child, the teacher will not communicate individually with you. She does not know how to help your child progress. The director did not tell us the truth about this program and we are very very disappointed now. My husband is the nephew of two famous psychologists who had worked with Milton Erickson in this country, and the director misled him. The company where he worked removed KinderCare
