Nominate a Kidco staff member for a KIDCO Kudos award!

The parent shared, “I would like to nominate Julieta for this award in recognition of the incredible care, love, and dedication she shows every day. Since my daughter was an infant, Julieta has made her feel safe, secure, and deeply loved—and now, as a toddler, their bond is even stronger.

Each morning, my daughter runs to Julieta with excitement, which brings me so much comfort as a parent. Knowing she feels happy and safe in Julieta’s care is truly priceless.

Julieta’s warmth, patience, and genuine love for her work are evident in everything she does. She creates a nurturing environment where children thrive. Because of her, my daughter has flourished, and our family is deeply grateful. She is truly deserving of this recognition.”

The parent shared, “I would like to nominate Miss Grace from Kids & Company, Evanston for her outstanding dedication and the meaningful impact she has on the children in her care. She is exceptional with older children, particularly those in preschool and transitioning to kindergarten. Her innovative approach to arts and crafts sparks creativity while thoughtfully supporting their learning and development.

What truly sets Miss Grace apart is the way she teaches and models courage. Through her daily interactions, she encourages children to try new things, express themselves, and build confidence in a safe, supportive environment—an invaluable quality in an educator.

Miss Grace is also incredibly kind and caring. She takes the time to form genuine connections with each child, ensuring they feel seen, valued, and supported. The trust and strong bonds she builds are evident and deeply appreciated. Kids & Company Evanston is fortunate to have her, and she is truly deserving of this nomination.”

The parent shared, “I would like to take this opportunity to express our sincere appreciation for the wonderful care our daughter received at the daycare, especially from Gita. Gita has been an exceptional ECE—caring, patient, and genuinely invested in Ananya’s happiness and growth. Her warmth, dedication, and the special bond she built with our daughter have left a lasting impact on our family.

Because of Gita, Ananya felt safe, confident, and excited to come to daycare every day. We will truly miss her and feel so fortunate to have had such a dedicated educator during this important stage of Ananya’s early years. Please pass along our heartfelt thanks to Gita and kindly recognize her for the exceptional work she does.”

The co-worker shared, “She is navigating health challenges while carrying deep sorrow and a passionate concern for the atrocities occurring in her country of birth. Yet, she shines through her gentle dedication to the children in her care. She greets them every day with her sweet smile and laughter, offering love and creativity to enrich their days. I proudly nominate her for her courageous and loving heart!”

The parent shared, “It’s truly unfortunate that I can only choose one KIDCO attribute for Ms. Agnes, because she embodies them all! She is one of the most remarkable educators I have ever known, showing up each day with kindness, enthusiasm, and unwavering dedication to the children in her care. What makes her truly special is that, even while often working with the youngest kids in the daycare, she treats each child as an individual—with dignity, respect, and encouragement for their autonomy. We feel so fortunate that our children had the opportunity to be in her class and learn from her. Thank you, Ms. Agnes!“
