RUN RUN RUN AS FAR AS YOU CAN!!! – I sent my child to Detour and it was horrible. I kept giving it 2nd, 3rd, 4th, etc.. chances because the options around were not great. Each time it was something else and something worse. I have had at least 3 teachers ask me if I wanted or if I know of anyone who needs a nanny because they hate it there. That one specific administrator is REALLY NASTY HUMAN! The other seems to be scared of the first. The owner is nearly non-existent after she moved out of state. There are some teachers wh... read more

Please avoid this school! – The school is overpriced and gone significantly downhill since I started sending my child. Some of the teachers are good, most can't be bothered. It is closed all the time, every single government holiday and then they piggy back and close on non-holidays, like New Year's Eve and the day before Christmas Eve. I am convinced it is because the teachers will not show up on those days. And the whole school closes at 5:30. If you want to have your child there from 7:30 to 5:30 be prepared to pay over a... read more

Closed Again. – I find this school nothing to write home about. Teachers are lazy and don't want to get up and go the extra mile for kids. Don't get me wrong, there are a handful of good ones which my daughter never seemed to get. They are closed SOOOO much and unless I worked for the government, I am taking off at least 10 days a year. They don't seem to listen to direction from the parent. One of the administrators is not nice at all, can you smile??? Owner is almost never there which may be why it is falling apart. They a... read more

some issues – There are several issues with this school. Do I think it is the best? NO. Is it the worst? NO. Staff is hot & cold. You may get a good teacher or you may get a bad one. Owner there 1X a week. The building is old which comes with problems. Upkeep is fair, could be more up to date. Toys could be more up to date too, I think they get alot of hand-me-downs from families. Large facility. Close to many parks and they take the kids on walks.

Best program in Chicago! – Seriously, this school is the best around. Low ratios, great staff, great administrators! It really has it all. Next best thing to having a private nanny -- without any of the worries...your kids are in the best care if they are at Detour! Founded by a thoughtful, young couple who really knew what the child care field needed! I think they have been in business for like 14 years now and I still hear wonderful things about it everytime i talk to anyone with kids - everyone knows about it - it's the b... read more
