I have a son who attends Twinkling Stars and absolutely loves it! He is excited to go everyday. The staff makes me feel extremely comfortable about leaving my child there for such a long period of time. They do an excellent job at implementing such great activities too!

We started attending Twinkling Stars when my daughter was an infant. Now she is in the 4's room and almost ready to graduate. She has received a great foundation at Twinkling Stars. The staff has been warm and loving with her, and great with myself and my husband. We really love this place and will miss it when we graduate.
Hi,I hope Im not too late to vote. My 3 year old granddaughter attends Twinkling Stars and we couldn't be happier. The teachers are warm and friendly and everytime I walk in, no matter time I pickup, the kids are having so much fun. The place is so clean and cheerful too. I recommend this school !
I love this school. They have such great programs and activities. The teachers are caring and attentive. My daughter never wants to leave!
enrolled my baby at Twinkling Stars and couldn't be happier. Warm and nurturing environment for my baby.
My son had a speech problem and it was difficult for him to speak clearly. He did so well at Twinkling Stars. The teachers were very patient and compassionate. Whenever he spoke in front of them, I noticed they were so attentive, and helped him finish his words when he became frustrated. He was so happy there. Good Luck !
We had 2 children go to Twinkling Stars childcare center. We love the school so much that when we decided we needed a bigger house and had to move out of Bloomingdale, we tried to choose a town close to Bloomingdale because we did not want to pull our kids out. We bought a bigger house and kept our children at Twinkling Stars. My husband and I feel so secure with the school and the staff. I wouldn't consider putting my children anywhere else.
We love Twinkling Stars! My son started out at another daycare in the area. I moved him to Twinkling Stars at 1 1/2 and he flourished! He went all through the school and was fully prepared for Kindergarten when he went. My daughter is now there and I couldn't be happier. She started in the infant room and is now in the 3 year old class. The school has a great balance of teaching and caring for your kids. If my children can't be with me, I love that they can be there....learning, but also being shown affection and compassion! There is no better place in my opinion!
I enrolled my toddler a few months at Twinkling Stars and couldn't be happier. My wife needed a break and so I went out in search of a nursery school. I was very impressed with the Twinkling Stars facility. First of all, I noticed it was very clean and organized. Every staff member greeted me and smiled when I said hello. On the tour, my son walked right in and started playing. In fact, I couldn't get him out of there. I later brought my wife and she agreed this was the place. We've been happy with our choice ever since. My son loves his school and runs to it as soon as we get out of the car. Great job Twinkling Stars.
I was afraid of putting my newborn in childcare because I didn't think I could trust anyone with my child. I toured Twinkling Stars and felt very comfortable. After being there a short time, my feelings of fear are all gone. The women in the baby room take such good care of my daughter. She goes to them freely with open arms every morning. I grin from ear to ear when I leave that place. My mind is at peace. Twinkling Stars is my daughters second home. I hope they win.
My 2 children attended Twinkling Stars and they both had learning issues. The staff there was great. They worked with the therapist hand in hand. In fact, the therapist told me that of all the schools she had been in, and she had been in a lot, Twinkling Stars was by far the best. That made me feel great. I knew I chose the right place.
I am a single mom raising my daughter on my own. I visited Twinkling Stars hoping to find a school that would help my child feel safe and grow. I found that and more. The director, Maryanne was very kind to me and showed me around the school, explaining all the enrichment programs and curriculum. I was so happy I didnt have to pay for each of the enrichment programs. Maryanne explained that she tried to provide some enrichment to all the children, not just the ones who can pay for it. She thinks that's the way it should be. I felt so relieved. My daughter did so well there. She could even read a little by the time she went to kindergarten. Thank you Twinkling Stars. I hope you win.
My niece goes to Twinkling Stars and I can see such a difference! This is a wonderful pre-school program that really nurtures each student. I recommend this school to my firends and family all of the time and have never been disappointed!
My little girl loves going to school at Twinkling Stars. When I pick her up from school she is always happy and excited to tell me what she learned in school. Twinkling Stars is a wonderful school with nuturing teachers. I would definitely recommend Twinkling Stars to anyone who is looking for an affordable school focused on giving children a well balanced education with caring teachers.
Twinkling Stars is a terrific nursery school. The staff is amazing and my children are always excited about going to school. Twinkling Stars offers many enrichment programs which my kids love. They are learning so much. The owner is dedicated to ensuring that all children receive a great education and have dedicated and caring teachers.
My child has attended Twinkling Stars for 3 years. She started in the infant room and is now in the 3's room. What's great about Twinkling Stars is that your child starts there as an infant and can stay there until graduation to kindergarten. The staff does everything from making the infants feel safe and loved to helping toddlers discover new things to teaching 3 year olds how to how to cooperate to teaching 4 year olds how to write and read. Once your child starts here, they can stay for five years. This school is great, and myself, as well as other families I know have been going there for years. The staff if great. I'm grateful to them for caring for my child.
This school offers everything for every age group.
My niece is a recent graduate! She loved Twinkling Stars---and she entered kindergarten already able to read! The teachers were really great and we recommend the school to everyone we know. What more can I say? This school is great.
Twinkling Stars is a great school. It truly is a NURSERY School. They teach the kids how to write, read site words, basic math, multi-cultural social studies. They conduct science experiments, work on fine motor skills, gross motor skills, and focus on expanding their language. They try to get the parents involved as much as possible as well, which I love! They have a father's day breakfast and a mother's day breakfast, where the children put on a concert for us. They have a Christmas concert and a pre-k graduation. They have had a visit from Santa, Easter bunny, spider-man, snow white, leprechaun, they celebrate Thanksgiving, Valentine's day...there's just to many to name. I don't think my children could get a better experience and education. Thank you Twinkling Stars for providing my child with great care and love! Keep up the good work!!
I have had 3 children go through Twinkling Stars and love the school and staff. My children were so ready for kindergarten and do so well in school. I believe Twinkling Stars with their focus on reading and writing had a lot to do with this. The owner is hands on and dedicated. My kids used to kiss their teachers goodbye. Very happy !
I Love Twinkiling Stars, great staff and wonderful program for children. My kids are very happy and so am I.
My wife and I love Twinkling Stars. Our daughter used to go to a Montessori school and we were hesitant in changing her school, however it was getting expensive. We came upon Twinkling Stars and felt so comfortable right away. Our daughter is learning even more than she did at Montessori and the staff is great. I'm saving alot of money too as this school is very reasonably priced. We made a great decision going to Twinkling Stars !
My son is in the infant room and the women in there take great care of him. They are very attentive and caring, which was great because it made my return to work that much easier. He has been going there for just over 4 months now and he is very comfortable with his teachers, he goes right to them when I drop him off. I can also tell that they care deeply for my son because some of them instantly steal him from my arms when I walk through the door!
We love Twinkling Stars! My daughter is so happy when we pull in th eparking lot in the morning and just smiles away as we go in. I don't know how I could ask for anymore than that!
We LOVE TWINKLING STARS! It's a great place to send your child. We spent a lot of time looking at different centers, we wanted to be sure we picked the right one for us and for my child! We certainly did. The center is always clean, vibrant, and cheerful. We worked with both Maryanne and Genie (Director & Assistant) when on the tour and during the registration process and they were both a pleasure to work with. They calmed our nerves and fears, and made us feel extrememly comfortable. We know that when we drop off our baby she is in great hands and we are VERY confident of that fact. We couldn't ask for a better experience so far.
Twinkling Stars is an amazing school! My daughter is 2 1/2 years old, where she just moved over to the 3's room and my son graduated from their Pre-K . I feel my daughter is so advanced for her age, she knows all her letters, numbers, shapes, colors, etc and I attribute that to Twinkling Stars. Everyday during circle time they reiterate these fundamentals, so much so that my daughter sings the songs when she comes home from school. They do so much with the kids and everyday there is a new project, craft, or piece of work that my daughter either comes home with is around the classroom. My son now in first grade is in advanced classes for reading and computers. He is a well-rounded boy, and again all this I attribute to Twinkling Stars
MY "granddaughter" has attended for 2 yrs. now - she loves getting up
in the AM to go to school. As a retired teacher, I am most impressed with
QUALITY of the activities provided & the kind, caring, sensitive manner in
which the staff welcomes the children & parents. I am impressed with the
outside activites the children experience (ex. writing of a book & tumble bus.) Continue providing & environment "where children come first."
My daughter of 4 months just started Twinkling Stars a month ago and she loves it! Everyday when I drop her off she beams her big gummy smile when she sees her teachers. They are very attentive, caring and made my transition returning to work so much easier knowing that my daughter is in good hands.
We are extremely happy with the love and care my children receive from Twinkling Stars each day. Everyday my children run up to the teachers making the morning transition quicker and easier for me. The facility is very clean, bright, welcoming, and everyone is helpful and friendly. They offer many programs for my children and they come home happy and singing all the various songs they learn in school. The art work and crafts my children come home with are adorable, I don't know where they come up with all these cute projects! We Love Twinkling Stars!
All 3 of my children have attended Twinkling Stars Nursery School & Day Care. My youngest still attends but my two oldest ones were able to make a seem less transition into Kindergarten because of the instruction and schooling they received while there. They have great programs, Computer Tots, Tumble bus, Music with Chris and they even have yoga to name just a few. The staff is great led by the Director, Maryann and assistant director Genie, who always see to it that their students are safe and stimulated in a great learning environment. Kudos to this wonderful school and make it a priority to at least visit when you are choosing your school!

My niece and nephew both attend Twinkling Stars and absolutely love going every week day. The staff are kind and caring and treat all the children as their own. I would suggest Twinkling Stars to all cautious parents!
