We have had a wonderful experience at ILS and it is all thanks to the PEOPLE who make ILS the place it is. From dropoff to before care to the school day to aftercare and pickup, every interaction we have is positive and makes us feel good about our child's care and education. We appreciate all that you do and recognize there's so much more work and care behind the scenes that we never get to see firsthand but can witness in our child's love for school and community. THANK YOU!!

Our kids LOVE ILS and their teachers and have found so much comfort there during this crazy year.  They are thriving and making wonderful social connections.  Thank you to the staff and teachers for you selflessness and dedication during this unprecedented year.  One day, our littles will truly understand how lucky they were this year to be able to attend in person school all year round.

Thank you all so much for all you have done for our kids over the past 5 years!!  We are so grateful that we found ILS when we moved to Elmhurst, and that all of our children received their early childhood education in an environment rooted in love, faith, and kindness.  ALL of the ILS teachers have consistently given this to our children.  For this, we are so incredibly grateful.  Then, add in ILS's response to the pandemic and the way all of the teachers and staff went above and beyond to keep our kids in school and safe, and our gratitude is just overflowing!!!  THANK YOU!!!

Martin Luther once said, "I am afraid that the schools will prove the very gates of hell, unless they diligently labor in explaining the Holy Scriptures and engraving them in the heart of the youth."  Thank you, teachers of Immanuel, for explaining and engraving God's Word on the hearts of your students and their families!

We've had children attending Immanuel for the last 14 years and we could not be more thankful for every teacher who has touched our children's lives.  Every single teacher, even the ones my child hasn't directly had as a classroom teacher, knows my kids and makes them feel special.  We love Immanuel and the primary reason is because the faculty is amazing.  We thank God every day for all of you!

In a year unlike any others, ILS teachers stepped up to take care of our children and provide a safe, in-person learning environment. Their dedication to their ministry is so clear. From personalized learning plans to smart goals and servant leadership activities, ILS truly shined above the rest. We will forever be grateful to ILS for this fabulous year!

Three days ago we received an envelope in the mail which had been addressed (including return address) by our 6 year old grandson. Good, legible writing...just one instance in which he has demonstrated learning or skills beyond our expectations. Thank God for Immanuel and its wonderful teachers!

Our children are excited to come to school each day! They love their teachers and they are learning so much. I can't believe how much work the teachers and administration and staff and have done and how flexible they've had to be this year. Hats off!
