Foster Park Kiddie Cove, Evanston

We have had a great experience with this caregiver so far. We are so lucky we found her!

we feel so welcome here and our little one is very happy and feels at home. I know he is given a lot of love and attention and I feel good about him being here.

We love, love, love this caregiver! We looked at a number of daycares in the area before deciding on her. Given our son was too young (3 months old) for a "curriculum" we decided the most important quality in a daycare was one that was loving, nurturing and supportive. It was also important he would be held, kissed, and cared for the way we would as parents. This is exactly what we've gotten from her and we couldn't recommend her more or be happier. She's the real deal!

Our son has been with this daycare for the past 5 months and loves it! He has a big smile on his face when we drop him off and wants to keep playing when we come to pick him up. The caregiver has been helpful with providing guidance and support with bottle weaning and introducing solids. We are so thankful to have found her!

This caregiver assisted my family with child care for our 5 year old last summer. We were transitioning from school to summer day camp and had a couple of weeks in between where we needed a flexible option for child care while we were at work. We loved her from the first day. She was very flexible, easy going and always and kept our son busy with activities throughout the day. We would use her daycare again in a heartbeat.

This is an amazing caregiver! Her wealth of experience has been wonderful.

This provider is so nurturing, calm, and loving. My daughter (21 mo) has been going to this daycare since she was 5 months old (with a pandemic hiatus). In the beginning, she filled out a daily sheet for me indicating how much breast milk my daughter had consumed, how long she'd slept, and how many/kind of diapers changed. It was really helpful to give me a peace of mind as we transitioned to daycare. We really liked that our daughter was in a mixed age group of kids so she could learn from the older kids and interact with the younger ones. It's not a structured daycare with a curriculum by any means, but we liked the idea that the kids could free-play especially at this younger age. This provider has a wide variety of toys, puzzles, and games, and the kids can play outside in her backyard. We returned to this daycare as soon as we could during the pandemic, and at that point, there were only 2-3 other kids so we felt that it was about as safe as we were likely to get. It was so refreshing to see our daughter interacting with kids again after months of social isolation. By the time we returned, my daughter was eating real food/feeding herself and was walking/running/playing. This provider has been great at helping potty train! She fairly consistently started going pee in the potty (and sometimes poop) by about 19 months. We do send diapers/wipes/potty training underwear (usually send diapers/wipes in bulk). In terms of food, this provider provides snacks, meals and whole milk during the day, so it's nice to not need to pack those things in the morning. My daughter is very excited to go to daycare every morning (and talks about her and the kids at daycare constantly when we're at home) and sometimes it's a struggle get her to leave at the end of the day because she's still having fun playing. While we do read regularly with my daughter at home (and she's a very verbal child), it's clear that this provider has been helping with number and letter recognition through play. At this point, my daughter can count to 14 and recognizes many letters. We're really happy at this place!!

This daycare has been a blessing to my life. My twin girls attended this facility from age 2-6. The provider is a loving person and super dependable! There was never a moment that I worried about the safety of my children when they were in her care. From homemade lunches to walks in the park, this day care is 100% what I was looking for.

We absolutely love this childcare. Our daughter Morgan has been with this provider. since she was a 6 months old and the standard of care has been excellent. We enjoy the fact that this is a small facility and believe our daughter has been able to achieve personalized care that she wouldn't have been able to obtain at a larger facility. I feel my daughter is learning things at the appropriate time and this provider has been great with helping us potty train of our now 2 year old. if you're looking for a caring and safe place for child care, this is a great option!

My daughter was at this facility from the time she was about 9 months old until she was 4. This provider is great with the kids. She shows great patience, feeds them well, helps them learn their letters and teaches them good manners/etiquette. She was flexible with me, allowing me a little extra time in the evening when I had to work a little longer. She definitely made juggling motherhood and a full time job much easier.
