Thunderbird is amazing - from the teachers to the front office to the community. We whole heartedly trust them with helping us shape our two children into life long learners that love school. We will forever recommend Thunderbird! One of the best decisions we ever made!

We absolutely love Thunderbird and couldn’t think of a better school experience to start our son with. The staff is so warm and personalized their approach to his needs. I feel like they truly know and love our son and I’m so happy he has a positive place to learn and grow!

Thunderbird has truly made my daughters introduction to school such a positive experience. The staff goes above and beyond to not only make her feel seen, but also has gained my trust by their attention to small details about her and celebrating her wins. She is so proud to tell everyone that she goes to Thunderbird!

It was hard for our daughter to transition into staying at school without one of the parents. Thunderbird was exceedingly understanding and caring through the whole process, allowing us and our daughter to take the time needed to adjust without forcing her into a situation she wasn't ready for. It's her second year at TB and she loves it there. We have had nothing but positive experiences! Highly recommend!

Thunderbird is an incredibly special place. They have been a staple in the Crystal Lake community for generations, and hopefully will continue for many, many more! We cannot recommend them enough.

My daughter loves going here. She even thinks of it as her thunderbird. She can't wait to continue going there. Thank you teachers

We have had a great experience at Thunderbird with both of our kids! The teachers are kind and really seem to know and care about the kids. My children were well prepared for Kindergarten and loved their first school experiences at Thunderbird!

From day one I could tell that all of the teachers and staff at Thunderbird genuinely care about my children. This has been my first time dealing with school and someone outside of the family taking care of my children and I never once have looked back and wanted to change anything! If only everyone's first schooling experience could be this positive! I only wish we could stay forever! The teachers are top rate and amazing at what they do! My Super 5 is so sad to leave his teachers at Thunderbird and my Junior doesn't want the school year to end! I am so happy I have one more to bring through after them! Mrs. Koch is so flexible and will do whatever it takes to make their schedule work for you. I rave about the experience we have had at Thunderbird to all moms I know who are looking for a preschool in the area. To sum all of this up, we LOVE Thunderbird!!

Both of my children attended Thunderbird. As a Teacher, I knew exactly what I was looking for in a preschool. After staying home with my kids, I knew the main thing I was looking for was a place I felt my kiddos would be safe with kind individuals looking after them while getting all the learning tools they would need as early learners. I found all that the minute we walked into Thunderbird! We had 3 other tours to take at other preschools and we canceled them knowing this was the place for us! Looking back at our time at Thunderbird, all I can do is smile :)

My daughter has been going to Thunderbird for 3 years - Junior, Senior and now Super 5's. She loves it, has learned so much and her confidence has grown tremendously. The teachers are outstanding. I am going to miss seeing their smiling faces everyday when my daughter heads to kindergarten.

I have nothing but great things to say about Thunderbird. Both my children attend/have attended there and I can't wait for my youngest son to be able to attend there too. Like most parents, I was very nervous about trusting someone I did not know to teach my children but I can honestly say I trust every teacher at Thunderbird wholeheartedly. I've never once doubted their intentions or sincerity. The activities and field trips are always very organized and informative. My son who attends there now wakes up everyday asking if he can "go to school." I wouldn't ever consider sending my kids anywhere else.

We put our 3 children in every program available to us at Thunderbird, from Super Tots for 2 year olds all the way up to Super 5s for our 2 children who missed kindergarten age cut off. This is a school full of kindness, love and patience. Our children developed a love of learning and a deep respect and love for their teachers as well. We could not have asked for a better place for our children to get ready to successfully meet the challenges of elementary school.
