Easterseals has gone downhill. The administration plays favorites with their employees. They lost 5 teachers in the span of three months. There are no outside supports. No speech therapist. There is very little to no teaching happening in the classrooms. Most of the teachers aren't certified. Students play and watch movies most days.

Great teacher and good environment for my daughter. We can see how much she changed/learned many things since she started. I also liked they give us a report what she did, eat and learned every day. The teachers are all very helpful.

This is a wonderful facility. My husband and I are very pleased. We have twins with special needs and it was very difficult for us to find a day care that is as supportive and caring towards our children. Ms. Rao the family support specialist helped facilitate our children's enrollment. She is amazing and kind. The teachers are wonderful: Ms. Arielle, Ms. Linda, Ms. Debbie, and Ms. Anna Maria. It is comforting to leave our children in the loving and safe staff's care while we at work.

I like the school. Sometimes I think they are too strict. Also the facility could be better, its small and I dont like the carpet; its unsafe. The teachers are friendly.

My son has been attending Gilchrist Marchman for the past 7 months and all has been great so far. The social worker for 0-3years "Ms Krystal Wallace" is very very helpful. Mr Thomas at the help desk is always smiling and very polite. My son teachers Ms Linda and Mrs Melessa really like their job and up date me everyday on my son's progress and needs. Not forgetting Ms Rekita "Business Assistant-Billing" for always being polite and professional. Thumb's up to the entire staff at Gilchrist Marchman. Good Job Ms Morayma

This childcare center believes that all children deserve to play and learn together. The administration and support staff work closely with teachers and families to ensure all students, both with and without disabilities, are receiving a quality education in a nurturing and engaging environment. The rich cultural mix of families who come from a vast array of countries and backgrounds makes this center a wonderful place for a child to grow and learn.

Here at Easter Seals GM, I have seen the teachers go the extra mile to continue the growing success of each child combined with parent involvement. It is very important in the devolpment of each growing boy and girl, as they explore new ways of learning. This is not just a daycare, it's a learning instituion.

This school is all you want and more. The teachers are warm, caring individuals that respect one another and the children that are in their classroom. Those with special needs are respected by their peers and are helped a great deal with administration, Chicago public schools and parents. Teaching is a team effort, and needs the support of all involved.

This school is a very nurturing environment. The teachers are great! They really demonstrate how they care about the children. They provide individualized attention to students. I always felt like my child was safe and loved the learning environment. I also enjoyed the multicultural atmosphere and activities that represent children from all over the world. What a wonderful learning experience.

This school is great-the teachers really care about your child and they take the time to prove it. I highly recommend this school to anyone who has a child and wants a great learning experience. The location is awesome (5-10 minutes from downtown).
