  • My wife and I have been very pleased for the past 10 years with Picket Fence in River Grove. One of our children has gone there, and one is still there. The staff has always been very good with both our children. Leadership has always been very good at keeping us posted of any changes that may have occurred, or handled a problem in a professional manner. The staff works hard to keep the children active on activities or play in the classrooms. We have always appreciated the service of them walking the children to school in the morning, and picking them up in the afternoon. This is very valuable for us on the half days, or the off days the school has. This is an excellent daycare.

  • My son started here in August and I have honestly never been happier with a daycare. The people that work there honestly love children and you can tell this isn't just a job. My son runs into Ms. Norma or Ms. Arianna's arms in the morning and it kind of feels like you're dropping your child off at a family member's house. Not only that, he comes home talking about how much he loves Ms. Julissa and Ms. Liliana. Everyone is so kind. His speech and social skills have greatly improved, there is a real program where the children are learning, I love the photos uploaded on the app, and I am always informed of everything. I highly recommend this daycare and if you're in any local Facebook groups, you'll find this daycare pop up in the comments frequently for parents when asking for child care recommendations.

  • Picket Fence in River Grove is truly an amazing place for children and families. The administration does such a great job creating a positive, supportive environment where kids can grow and thrive. You can tell the staff genuinely care about the children and their development. What really stands out is how involved everyone is with the kids. The communication, organization, and dedication from the administration make a huge difference. It’s clear that they put a lot of effort into making sure every child feels supported and encouraged. The children there are wonderful as well — respectful, kind, and full of energy. It really feels like a community that values growth, learning, and strong relationships. If you’re looking for a place where kids are supported and families feel welcomed, Picket Fence in River Grove is doing an incredible job.

  • We’ve been part of the Picket Fence - River Grove family for years now. Our 3rd oldest son started here when he was just 2 years old, and now he’s 7. From the very beginning, the staff has been incredibly attentive, personable, and genuinely caring. They take the time to understand each child’s individual needs and make both the kids and parents feel supported and comfortable. Because of the positive experience, choosing to bring our 2-year-old here was an easy decision. The teachers and admin staff create such a warm, nurturing environment where children feel safe, encouraged, and excited to learn and grow. It’s clear that the team truly cares about the children they work with, and that kind of dedication makes all the difference as a parent. We’re grateful to have found a place we trust with our kids.

  • My son has been attending this location for almost 2 years now and I couldn’t be happier with my decision to send him here. From the teachers to the management staff, everyone is so friendly and you can tell they all have a deep love for what they do. It took me a year to find a daycare that I trusted and I felt more than comfortable going into Picket Fence for the first time. Not to mention my son is so happy to go to school every single day. Not only does he feel comfortable and safe at Picket Fence, but he has learned so much. I cannot recommend this location enough!
