  • Do NOT enroll your child at Allison Child Care. There is a serious lack of communication, leadership, and genuine love for the children. The environment is cold, stressful, and toxic — especially under certain staff. People who should be leading with care are instead creating chaos and pushing out the ones who actually cared. I’ve seen firsthand how unfairly people are treated there, and I wouldn’t trust them with any child, let alone my own. Exactly why i didn’t think twice to enroll my daughter! Allison will have anybody working in her center definitely not professional at all Protect your kids — choose a place where love, respect, and honesty actually matter.

  • If you are a parent looking for a daycare in Chicago...do NOT enroll them at Allison's infant and toddler center. The teachers there are lazy, refuse to take them a block over to a park because "they don't want to walk that far" they tell your kids to "shut up", they will physically grab your child by the arm or their shirt and drag them across the room or to where they want them to be. If the child is throwing a tantrum, don't expect your child to be comforted...they'll be called cry babies, dramatic or just ignored. Oh and if something happens to your child or they're injured don't expect them to tell you what happened or what they think happened because the director says "the less information we give the parents the better so they don't ask questions" like the time I tried to explain to a mom we thought it was just a bug bite that caused the bump on their head and I got yelled at for giving "to much information" because they wanted to see camera footage...just all in all..don't enroll your child at this horrible ghetto place. (Oh and don't get me started on the rat problem in the building🤮🤮🤮)
