Northern Tool + Equipment

First time shopper, good store with great inventory

Online order was ready quickly

Northern Tool + Equipment has a great selection of items and tools that we need necessarily. The whole place is very huge, warehouse-type, and they also have a big parking lot at the front of the store. This place is perfect for all those people who considered themselves craftsmen, DIY-ers, tradesmen, and those who always do some home repairs. The items and tools here are affordable and budget-friendly. You can literally get and buy a few items at such a fair price. The quality of their items here is great and the brand as well. Northern Tool + Equipment also offers some promo or sale items. This place is beyond my expectations! My experience here is always great and excellent! Their employees here are very personable, professional, and knowledgeable. They can also answer the questions from the customers. And even guide and assist them around the place. I am really impressed with their service! Good selection of tools, decent prices throughout the store, very helpful staff, and also a big and wide place. Everything was great! No need to go anywhere else from now on! Northern Tool + Equipment has everything we need! I can’t wait to visit again and buy some important tools. See you soon guys! Thank you! Keep up the good work!

I can’t say enough about how great they are! Anytime we have a question or a request for our daughter we get a quick and helpful response. The quality of care she receives compared to other places is fantastic! And all the teachers and staff are so polite and professional. I recommend the La Petite Academy (New Lenox) to my friends and anyone who asks!

We love La Petite! My children originally went to an at home daycare and unfortunately the at home daycare wanted to downsize so that meant no more childcare for my two kids. I felt like I was against the odds two kids (16 months and 3 months at the time) trying to find a new daycare last minute during a pandemic and baby boom felt unrealistic, I felt doomed. I called so many daycares and everyone was a no but on a Tuesday I got a call from Nicole saying they are able to take on my two kids if I’m still interested I have never said yes so fast before! Carrie the director stayed late for us to come tour the building. Carrie and Nicole are both so friendly and so informative with all the questions me and my husband had. The school itself is huge in my opinion! My daughter definitely had a hard time adjusting to a daycare but knowing I was able to check the cameras and see she was completely fine after I left made me feel at such ease! Her teachers are so kind and just all around such nice people! My daughter gets so excited every time she sees her teachers. Now she runs into daycare like she owns the place and she’s always smiling and saying bye when it’s time to leave! My sons teachers are just as amazing! I will check the cameras and see them playing with him and the other babies and they send pictures through the app they use to keep us informed through out the day. Honestly seeing pictures of both of them throughout the day is my highlight! We’ve only been going a short time but within that short time the staff and directors have been great! I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a fun, safe, and friendly daycare!

Visited for the grand opening today. Great selection of items and good inventory availability. Gary was absolutely awesome when answering questions and finding things for me, and Jennifer made sure my checkout was fast and friendly. Very glad to have Northern Tool in the area!

Transitioning from in-house day care to La Petite Academy was a worry for both my fiancée & myself but from the first moment we met Carrie and the other wonderful & friendly staff of La Petite, we knew we had nothing to worry about. They are so patient and fun with the children while remaining professional and put so much thought and creativity into their daily lesson plans. They also hosted a carnival...we were sortajealous we couldn't play the games and win the prizes! All the teachers we have met have been nothing but kind and friendly. Definitely recommend!

The best thing to happen to our family in a long time. Carrie, the director is AMAZING! There is nothing that woman can't do or make happen. Everyone there is very nice and friendly and our daughter can't wait to go back time and again. They make transitioning from one classroom to the next very easy. Our daughter is newly potty trained and I was told she been making regular visits to the bigger kids classroom so she'll be comfortable when she's there starting in January. When we had a death in the family, I reached out to her to arrange for our child to go to school on a day she doesn't normally so we could attend the funeral services and give her some normalcy. There are so many "extra opportunities and services here for the whole family to take advantage of. During parents night out, she stayed at school until later in the evening while my hubby and I put up the Christmas decorations without worrying about what the toddler was getting into . They collect stuff for charities, teaching children the value of helping others less fortunate
I should also mention how safe this place is It's like Fort Knox. Nobody gets in or out without passwords or being identified . There are security cameras all over the place giving you opportunity to watch your child .Everything they do is safety and education driven .
Update 12/2020... my 5 year old is reading at a second grade reading level thanks to the private kindergarten experience with Miss Diane. She's also been caught doing math equations on my dry erase mess board at home, which is so encouraging. She has gotten so much out of the 3 years we've been attending, I'm sad that we can't continue beyond kindergarten with them.

We have been bringing my daughter here since she was an infant and could not be happier. One of the things I appreciate most about La Petite is their flexibility. Juggling work and home life can be a challenge, but they never push back when you need to alter your schedule. Above all, we have been thrilled with the staff at La Petite. I have always felt the teachers have been engaged in helping my child learn and better interact with her classmates. They also give daily reports on what your child did that day, so you feel like you never miss a thing. The staff has a genuine relationship with my daughter, I've never felt like she was just another member of the class. La Petite Academy has my full endorsement, and we hope to continue with them for years to come.
