Sheri Bartelstein

"Your full day child care has been a life saver for us. We looked forward to Kindergarten enrichment and the after school club."

"Wonderful, warm, nuturing program. The staff seems to "love" each child as if they were their own. I wouldn't send my children anywhere else." -
Liz Agins

"Once again, we are so lucky to have a wonderful, warm, supportive place to (have called and) continue to call my children's second home. Thanks for making us "part of the family". May you all receive as much as you give and more. Much love and Appreciation."
Laurie Axelrod

"The communication between families and Lutz is outstanding."
Amy

"One of the best things about JCYS Lutz Sunflower Camp is swimming twice a week at the Max Davison Center. Our daughter Elise learned so much over the past two summers, and she loves the water! The teachers spend alot of time with the kids in the pool teaching water safety, but also making sure the kids have a great time and learn to love swimming. She looked forward to it every week!"
The Lipezkers (Sunflower Camp '06, '07, and '08!)

"Our son is an only child and had a full-time nanny for his first 2 1/2 years. Consequently, we were concerned about how he would take to being in preschool. Sunflower camp turned out to be the perfect transition. He had a great experience and now loves going to preschool. In fact, he enjoys it so much that is sometimes a challenge to get him to leave at the end of the day!

Many thanks to the terrific staff at Lutz."
Joel and Deborah Lamm

LAKEVIEW FAMILY CENTER TESTIMONIALS

Lakeview Preschool testimonials (letters from Parents)

"We want you to know how happy we are with Jordan's experience at JCYS. He has grown leaps and bounds since September. It is an amazing feeling to walk into the school and watch Jordan being greeted by all of the teachers. Everyone has taken time to get to know our baby. That is so cool! Jordan feels safe, he comes home singing songs and he even throws his plate out after dinner... even if it's glass!"
Love, Hillary & Jay

"Thank you so much for allowing our children to attend JCYS and for the wonderful memories we have all shared in watching our families grow these past 7 years. We feel lucky to have been part of the JCYS family. We will always cherish these memories!"
Love, Ada

"What prompted me to write is simply to tell how incredibly attentive, warm, loving, professional, and committed your whole staff is. This is certainly not a new perception, but it has been pronounced by seeing JCYS also work well for Lily, a much younger and different child, at the same time we transitioned Jake (to his new school). I honestly don't know how you do it - hiring, training, and keeping all these really wonderful people."
Very sincerely, Julie

"We had a great year at JCYS. I can't tell you how grateful Mike and I are to you that Naomi started school with such a wonderful experience. You ladies are the greatest teachers! At first I was more worried than Naomi. I guess she new from the very beginning how much fun you were to be with. Soon I started envying her for Tuesday and Thursday mornings. She came home with stories about her day, Stretch 'n' Grow moves, new songs and rhymes that we're still figuring out, special art projects, and I could tell she was in good hands. You helped her tremendously to become the accomplished little girl she is now. Thank You!"
Edith

Traci & Andy Bergman

"Our daughter has been attending the JCYS full time preschool program since she was 15 months old. She enjoys interacting with her teachers and the other children in her classroom. We love seeing her learn and grow everyday and we attribute this to JCYS's structured curriculum, warm and friendly environment, and great teaching staff."

"Thank you for the outstanding experience the boys had at camp this summer! As their first sleep-away experience, we could not have had better results."
Gail from Northbrook.

"Your program has so many positive benefits. I am glad Laura had the opportunity to attend so many years. I was truly touched by the mitzvah of having an 8th grader become a bar mitzvah during camp and having the celebration there. It truly touched Laura and us."
