Hear From Our Parents
Harkness Family
"We have two kids at Celebree and they love it.
From the educators to the administration we can see it in plain sight that they have our children’s best interests in mind. The teachers work so hard to elicit feedback and interests of our children and incorporate them into the lesson plans. Having spent time at another daycare we were nervous about how they would receive the change. After seeing the way our kids light up we knew that we made a great choice. The team at Celebree are extremely flexible and do everything in their power to accommodate our family’s needs. It’s simply been a great experience."
Wike Family
"Our son started at Celebree when he was 3 months old and I was so nervous for the transition. The team in the infant room is highly competent and warm and immediately put me at ease. Everyone working there knows my son by first name, knows his schedule, his developmental stage and mile stones. They communicate continuously throughout the day so I feel connected and know what he’s up to. I cannot recommend this school enough! Highest quality in staff and facility."
Yasinow Family
"We made the move to Celebree Northbrook from another daycare about two months ago and couldn’t be happier!
The facility is bright, clean, and welcoming and the teachers and staff all greet us by name. We love the owner Maggie and director Nycole - both of whom are present in and around each day. Our son plays outside most days, goes for walks in the buggy around the neighborhood, has story time, lots of play time, and does a ton of crafts. He is engaged and happy in the photo updates at the end of the day.
We LOVE Celebree School of Northbrook!"
Glanz Family
"Our family absolutely loves Celebree!
My son has been in Charlotte’s toddler classroom since the school opened and he has made so much progress and growth since being there. Charlotte is very patient and warm, and does a phenomenal job with catering to each child’s individual needs. She makes learning fun and creates a curriculum that meets children where they are. The owner, Maggie, and director, Nycole, are very accommodating and truly care about the well being of the children and their families."
