Sears

As new parents, we had no experience with daycares. It was difficult to choose a location. We wanted a place that would be safe, educational, and close to home. We found what we were looking for and more with Childtime! Our daughter is being cared for by people that truly care about her and want to see her succeed in life. We love to hear daily about the things that she is experiencing and learning. We appreciate that the teachers are actually teaching and not just "watching" her.

My three children attended Mary Sears from an infant through twelve years old. Mary Sears taught them everything they know, from walking, potty training, coloring, printing, reading, etc... I can not say enough about the staff. Their infant and toddler teachers have been there the whole twelve years. All the other staff have been there well over five years. My children have excelled in elementary school because of Mary Sears. Please visit and see for yourself. You will not be disappointed!!!

Both of my children attend Mary Sears for daycare and preschool. They are a caring facility with educators that truly care about their students. They have many resources on site - acres of land for safe outdoor play space, nature walks, apple picking, pumpkins picking, And other fun activities. They do a great job maintaining a loving and structured environment that has tremendously helped my children to be better people.

My kids have been going to Mary Sears for the past year, and I wanted to express my family's gratitude and appreciation of this school. My husband and I both work full time, and leaving our children for a full day is hard no matter what. Knowing they are safe and well cared for at Mary Sears allows us to get through our day without constant worry.

This is the best Academy my children have ever attended! The staff is loving and wonderful! My children come home singing and recognizing their letters and numbers everywhere we go. I am so grateful to find a place my children call their second home.

My 2 yr old daughter has been going to this place for almost a month and half and I am very happy finally with my decision. It was intense for the first few weeks as it was a new move for her and us. Prior to Mary Sears she was with a Nanny for almost 9 months. I made couple of surprise trips to the facility over the period and not once found any alarming fact. Infact all the time the kids were with the teacher, either reading or playing or studying. There was this one morning when i was overly concerned about her day at the center, so i decided to spend my morning in their camera room. Neither the teacher nor the owner had any issue of me being around and let me have my peace of mind.

My children love Mary Sears! The Teachers and Directors are by far the best professionals I have ever seen. My children have so much fun and come home teaching us spanish! I can't refer them enough to my friends and family. Thank you MSCA for taking such good care of my babies!

My son has attended Mary Sears for three years now. He just graduated from kindergarten. I was so impressed with how advanced these children are. The teachers and faculty really do care about our children. I was skeptical about their strict policy's but now realize that without them are children would not be so respectful of the rules. Thank you for all you have done with my son.

Being the mother of three beautiful girls and having to work full time it was very difficult for me to even think about putting them into someone else's care. My first choice was not the right for my family, however choosing Mary Sears in Orland Park was. From the first time my husband and I took a walk through their school and met those whom made the place such a warm, yet outstanding child education and care center, we knew this was the place for us. Although somewhat reluctant due to our previous experience, Mary Sears, proved to us we made the right decision this time around. Even though we drive from a distance to attend this center versus the one closer to our home, we could not imagine having been anywhere else. I am sure that any of the Mary Sears locations are just as great, but our family is VERY sad to say good bye at the end of next year to a great staff and childcare center. Trust me when I say, THEY ARE THE BEST and will be truly missed, yet remembered by our family!

Hi Parents, My son has been going to MSCA for almost a year now. He has minor developmental delays, and some physical. They have never been anything more than loving, affectionate, caring, and supportive of my son. He is thriving under their care. He is always happy. His speech therapist visits the school once a week. She has never once reported to me anything she might have thought was unacceptable, and I am fairly certain she is required to. His dad pops in once in a while to pick him up early, and has never encountered anything. My son is always clean, changed, and smiling. He is fed, and even has plenty of sunblock on in the summer months when he comes home. One of the teachers made me a dessert once. He is rarely sick, and his activities that he brings home every day are lovely. Speaking of dog and pony show, they actually bring in ponies for the kids. As well as pumpkins, apples, and there is a day where they get to dig in dirt and hunt for worms.

Would have found this school sooner. We have been on the hunt for a school and as always... it is quite difficult to find the right place for our children. We finally went with a recommendation from a friend and tried it out.... it was so close to our home, we had to. The facility was clean and ran like a Four Seasons Hotel. My children were absorbed with activities from the moment they stepped in the door. FINALLY.... we could leave them and not feel horrible or have them sob when we drop them off. It was a much needed relief for us. We found the program and teaching to be very good, not over the top but a good level for our children to come home with a good enough experience to convince us.....not sure how your children act..... but ours are much smarter than we make them out to be at times... AND VERY CONVINCING Our favorite part was Mr. Tom... were we surprised to see such an entertaining, efficient, youthful individual looking after our children

Ever since my children have been going to Mary Sears they have learned so much. They have a wonderful curriculum and teach the children about love and respect. Everyday we walk in the building we are greeted with a warm smile. My children literally run into school because they are so excited. All the staff are great. They are always smiling, happy and really care for the children. I recommend Mary Sears to every parent. What a great school!!

We would like to send a big Thank You to the teachers, care takers and staff of Mary Sears Children’s Academy of Orland Park. Our son has been attending Mary Sears for the past two years and I cannot say enough about how much he has learned and grown since he has been attending. Our son has learned so much from Mary Sears from respect, education and how to interact with other children. He loves the apple picking, worm hunting, playing outdoors in the beautiful yard, pool time, pony rides and the Tumble Bus! We also love how he comes home with a little something of what he has done that day from tracing his name to coloring a picture. We just wanted to say Thank You for making us feel comfortable about leaving our most precious boy in your care. We recommend your place to people all the time. Please, let your staff know I appreciate everything they do!

My child started going to this school in 2012 and is currently a student in the infant program. I was recommended this school by a friend and I cannot think why there are any bad reviews. I was told by one teacher that the man who used to run this school no longer is there and his brother now runs it so thats why there might have been a change. Anywho, my sons infant teacher is awesome. She always greets with a smile and makes small conversation about my son, not just about the weather or movies or mundane stuff. She keeps me informed on my sons progress and is knowledgeable. She treats my son like her own and I noticed within a few months that my sons development has doubled. I love this place and would recommend it to those who want a loving place for their child where they are treated well and taught to love as well. They even do sign language in the morning with my baby. I am not sure about the other classes but the pre 2 teacher seems nice too.
