Dist. #65 Doorway To Learning Childcare

Thank You to Joseph E. Hill Family Center From the bottom of my heart, I want to thank everyone at the Joseph E. Hill Family Center for the incredible care, warmth, and support you showed my family during our time there. You all played such a big role in our healing and growth, and I will never forget the impact you made. Tita, John, Ms. Angela, Ms. Sarah, Hilda (who always made sure the babies were fed), Ms. Tahzeen and every teacher and staff member—thank you for welcoming us with open arms. You didn’t just care for my children; you gave me peace of mind in a time when everything felt uncertain. Your kindness and patience made my transition easier, and your words of reassurance helped calm so many of my fears and worries. Knowing my little ones were safe, loved, and thriving in your care allowed me to breathe again and focus on rebuilding. The love and dedication each of you brought to your work made all the difference, and it means more than I can ever fully express. We will truly miss this school and all of you. Thank you, Joseph E. Hill Family Center, for being part of our story—and a beautiful part of our healing. With gratitude and love, YG

My child attended this daycare from March 2023 - May 2024 and I thought I was so lucky. That is until I found out their teachers are constantly being reported by other teachers to the managing director for aggressive behavior with the children yet no official reports are on file and the main directors are oblivious, the cameras in the classrooms don't work but they'll lie and say they do, and they switch out teachers so much you never know who really around your child. I held my tongue in hopes of a proper investigation but almost a month later and I still lack answers of what actually happened to my child and others. How about the fact a baby got a yeast infection due to not getting changed on a regular basis when told it was needed, teachers are mandatory reporters and won't speak up or report anything to DCFS when that's literally part of their license. I am hurt and disappointed and I will be a voice for my child and any other child.

This building houses the Early intervention, Early headstart, head start and state peek programs all under one roof. Teachers are awesome and dedicated to educating the students and parents are encourage to participate.

School was the best, a teacher gave me an apple for halloween.
