Testimonials

On 2/17/2026 Crystal Torres had this to say:
Everyone, every single member of this staff is so kind and helpful. They go above and beyond. My son has never been so happy to attend and reluctant to leave🙂

On 11/10/2025 Jac had this to say:
I attended Sandbox Homer Glen when I was little, and it’s honestly one of the best things that ever happened to me. I still keep in touch with my old teacher to this day, which says a lot about how much they truly care about their students. Looking back, Sandbox really set me up for success. They built a foundation in education, confidence, curiosity, and kindness. I’m so grateful for everything they did for me and would recommend this place to any parent looking for a school that genuinely makes a difference in their child’s life.

My daughter has been a daycare kid since she was 5wks old (i worked at her last daycare) she started going to Sandbox in March of this year and she has progressed so much since being there. We love our sandbox family so much structure and such a amazing atmosphere to have your child in.
