Meg is also a very active member of the community. She is an ambassador at Palatine Chamber of Commerce and humble supporter of local family events. Meg and Mesut met doing volunteering work for children in needed areas when they were at university. Mesut, after obtaining a degree in Political Science, initially worked in the event management business for NGOs and governments for quite some time. In his career he was able to visit more than 50 countries. The couple brought their different backgrounds, and professional experiences together for the development of Ecole 360 Child Development Center. Ecole 360’s concept is a totally new approach in childcare industry. Meg and Mesut’s only wish is to make the dream of the families come true who are wishing for their kids the best.

 Peter - Ecole 360 parent – Live Updates are Amazing and Mind Relieving
Our son has been at Ecole for over a year now, since he was an infant, and overall, we've been really happy with this child care. I really appreciate getting live updates through the day on the app they use, which has also helped us keep track of some of his favorite activities and foods. We know he's getting a good variety of healthy foods in daycare too. The teachers are all super friendly and communicative and have worked with us when we have requests. When it was time for our son to move into a new room with an older group of kids, I was really glad that they worked with him on a gradual transition to make sure he was comfortable with the change while also helping with his development.

 Isaeff - Local Guide - Bright and Clean
We loved this daycare. Staff and the owner are very professional. Infant rooms are so good, windows are wide enough, so rooms are bright and clean. We will recommend this daycare to our friends. We went to many childcares at South Barrington, North Hoffman Estates, Inverness and so far, this one is the best. Just go there and see how happy kids are. In other preschool rooms were dark and I see crying toddlers, not happy staff and the biggest difference is the owner running business.

 Kari - Ecole 360 parent - Our Child is Advancing
We adore Ecole 360! This is our first experience with a day care, and we are so happy to have made the decision to go with this daycare and the family of teachers to care for our little lady! Our daughter has been in the school since 11 weeks - now 10 months old - and every day they make her smile as soon as we walk in the door.
It's such a joy to see how much our child is advancing. She was born with a physical difference, which we were concerned could prevent her from meeting some of the general milestones, however the team at Ecole are helping her learn right along with the other children and she's now surpassing some of the developments months ahead of her age!

 Helly - Ecole 360 parent - The Door is always Open for Communication
Ecole 360 isn't daycare; it is part of my family now. Ecole Pre-school has weekly themed education system where they use different topics to educate. Not only they are being prepared for Kindergarten with letters, numbers, story time etc. but they are taught different languages such as Spanish and French. Once a week they have yoga and of course Holidays, and other themed educational programs that helps build children's imagination.

From the moment I walk in the morning to drop off my kids, throughout the day, and even after I have picked them up, I am treated with smiles and positive environment. They would invite parents, grandparents, and siblings for events that they organize each month at childcare. They have open communication method from staff, teachers, and owner Meg. Meg treats her staff like family too, and that's why everyone is happy there and everyone tries to help each other in every way possible. I can feel relieved and confident leaving my kids with these amazing ladies and don't even consider them strangers.

They have security system at the front door that requires unique password from each parent. They have an app that allows me to see pictures and videos to know more about how my kids' day is going and what's upcoming the next day.

I can go on and on but in short, I am so glad I found Ecole. I definitely recommend parents to look into Ecole for their childcare, daycare, preschool and prekindergarten needs.

 Haley - Ecole 360 parent - Passionate Owner
This center is extremely clean, I was so impressed! The programs they run are amazing. Kudos to the owner and director for running an AMAZING daycare!!

 Erika - Ecole 360 parent - Organic Food for Healthy Bodies and Brains
We have been with Ecole 360 since my son was 5.5 months old as an infant. He has moved from the infant class to the older infant class to toddlers to now early preschool. My husband & I are very happy with the care he received here. We really like the caring staff at Ecole 360 and the care they give our son. They are always happy to talk with us about anything we need. We also like the app that is used to log information about our child's day and to share photos and other information for the day at pre school.

The center upgraded their food plan to organic, which is a nice feature, though I'm not sure how much it applies to my picky picky eater (LOL).  The kids also go outside to play in a very large and safe playground every day unless the weather is very inclement, which I appreciate. Everyone knows my son at the day care, and he is greeted everyday by multiple staff.

 Mariya - Ecole 360 parent - Not a School for Show Off, Everything is Real
We are not new to the child care scene, after having a tough experience elsewhere and having to make the tough choice of re-transitioning my kiddo to a new daycare environment, we stumbled upon our dearest Ecole 360.

I am not a parent that can be easily impressed, however, the calm energy and the standard Meg (owner) puts on every child giver cannot be ignored. I cannot say enough good things about this daycare where kiddos have clearly a better nutritional plan that 90% of places around. Look to see the menu and see the variety, this is truly what the kids each for breakfast lunch and snacks. What you see from the first day tour is really what you get, unlike a show and tell and their own agenda afterwards (judging by prior experience). Thanks, Ecole, for taking care of my peanut and loving your work with a passion, it shows each and every day. You and your team deserve all the success these burbs have to offer.
