@allegra did you use them for nursery school as well? I have an appointment there on Tuesday.  

---

@taliped90 yes. We were in the OHare location but they merged with that location pretty recently. They loved our kid. It was like a little family. I think Cece and Mary Ellen ended up going over too. We miss them everyday. (We moved to Schaumburg so we left OHU but if we could have made it work we would have traveled to keep him there)

@allegra thanks for the info! I spoke to Mary Ellen on the phone.

@taliped90 she's so great. Tell her Denise and Deb recommended them.

Answer 32

First Congregational is where both of my kids went and I "red shirted" my son and sent him to St. Zachary where is a learning a TON!  

Comments

@device0 @distortedette so is St. Zachary much better then congressional? Also is it much more expensive? Thank you

---

@huttan St. Zachary has taught my son how to “do school” with a background of Jesus. He has learned to turn to prayer when he is struggling. amazing! WAY more expensive for sure! Now my daughter will probably be at FC her whole preschool career because she is picking up the basics faster than my son. So FC is play based and St. ZAchs is academic base. Both amazing!
