My daughter has been going to blue bird for almost two years when she started she wasnt talking and had other concerns. Two years later she is potty trained talking and doing amazing. Her BCBA Amber has been with her since she started and was able to help me with all of my concerns for my daughter Kamille. I would highly recommend this school for anyone who has a child that needs these services it is definitely worth it. Thank You Blue Bird Day Staff for all your help

We are IN LOVE with BBD. Our daughter has been a student for a over a year and her progress has been TREMENDOUS The entire staff is friendly responsive and dependable. I am confident she gets the best care every single day. We love the entire staff of her current and previous preschool rotation team Elly Danielle Nicole G Abby Ashley S Elizabeth and Mercedes. Her individual therapists are amazing Amber Ronald Cory and Madison. The TAs are fantastic and deserve just as much recognition. The work you all do is tremendous and you are making such positive impacts on the lives of these children and parents. THANK YOU

Jill is one of the most kind genuine people I have had the pleasure of meeting. Her dedication to providing exceptional care is truly commendable. Jill goes above beyond to create a warm nurturing environment for the children she works with all while having passion creativity in her role. She makes such a positive impact on the kids lives and mine Its evident that she genuinely loves what she does. I wholeheartedly recommend Jill Blue Bird Day to any parent seeking a caring and devoted professional.

If I could rate this place a zero I would My son was suppose to start at Blue Bird Day November 6 however someone called me the day before he was suppose to start and said Zayden wouldnt be a good fit in other words he was to far on the spectrum for them to help They had me pay a deposit to hold his spot as they said. Im in tears writing this because they claim to be a school of diversity and just told a child with special needs he couldnt attend. Dont waste your time at this place

Dont be tricked by the high star reviews from others I know I fell for it too it appears Blue Bird Day will flag and try to remove any negative comments. This place claims to be a therapeutic preschool program that promotes diversity and inclusion for neurodiverse clients ranging anywhere from autism to cerebral palsy to sensory disorders the list goes on The entire idea of this program sounds great but it was too good to be true. What their website and team will not say outloud to parents is that they actually hold an ableist bias when it comes to who they accept into the program.If your child is nonverbal has sensory issues andor has mobility limitations dont waste your time trying to enroll in their Hatchlings or Blue Bird Day program - these are some of the reasons why they denied my child. They strung me along for six months during the enrollment process and had me put down a deposit all just to say that their team of therapists and environment are not equipped to do exactly what their website claims. As advertised on their website they initially offered to create an individualized plan for my child and then went back on their words. It was all talk and everything sounded so great but thats what happens when theyre so focused on marketing but cant actually deliver. I even offered to supply all medical equipments toys books and anything else they might need for my child but that didnt make a difference to them. After six months they denied my child right at the start of the school year so you can only imagine how hard it would be to find alternatives when the school year had already started.Their enrollment process begs the question which medical diagnoses and to what degree are acceptable for prospective clients Are their therapists trained and experienced enough to handle a variety of diagnoses Is the environment and program ADA compliant Maybe all of that should be disclosed on their website instead of deceiving parents with a bunch of catch phrases targeting special needs parents. For the record I did get my deposit back but I will not get back six months of wasted time.

Just wanted to share how impressed I am with Blue Bird Day When Blue Bird along with all other Chicago schools announced they were temporarily closing due to COVID19 I found myself a bit stressed. I was happy about my son being able to stay home with me but I worried about how long hed have to be without services. Well I didnt have to worry long Blue Bird Day sprung into action and had everything ready in ONE WEEK We have been receiving virtual sessions for almost 2 months now. I cant tell you how happy I am with this new method of therapy. To be able to personally help and teach my son with the guidance of his team has been an incredible experience. Thank you Blue Bird for working so hard to make sure our children continue to receive the services they need. Id like to give a special thanks to Deans wonderful team Ms.Taylor Abby Alexa Megan and Andrea They have given me the tools needed to be able to better help and understand my sons needs. This would not have been possible if I hadnt let these ladies into my home through virtual therapy. Not only has Dean made amazing progress these past weeks but I feel like Ive also progressed as a parent. None of this would have been possible without them and I cant thank them enough

Sending our son to Blue Bird has been the best thing we could have possibly done for his development and his future. He attended the preschool for 2.5 years and the Kindergarten program for 1 year. Now he is in a CPS full inclusion classroom for Kindergarten. He still sees Courtney Cara and Byron after school some days. Their care and patience with him is outstanding. All of the staff are amazing. We are sure he wouldnt be where he is today if it wasnt for his time at Blue Bird.
