  • So far our experience at South Loop KinderCare has been pretty average when it comes to the health side of things. The 4.1 rating you see online seems fair—it’s not amazing but it’s not a total disaster either. They definitely have a high turnover with the assistant teachers, which makes me worry about the consistency of cleaning and hand-washing routines. It feels like I'm seeing someone new every other week! On the plus side, they are pretty strict about the sick child policy; if your kid has a fever, they are calling you immediately to pick them up, which helps keep the 'daycare plague' somewhat at bay. I just wish the communication was a little more proactive regarding when a specific bug is going around the classroom instead of just finding out when my kid wakes up with it.
