Today was our last day in kindergarten, where my child has been going since 2021. I want to express my great gratitude to the director of the kindergarten, Ms. Lyuba, for her professional approach to issues, for her care and words of support at the right time. A low bow to all the teachers who gave their love and affection, created a good atmosphere for the children every day, my child went to kindergarten with joy. Ms. Ira, Ms. Lilya, Miss Monica (as well as all the teachers and assistant teachers who were involved with my child) - THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING! Thank you ❤️
I recommend this kindergarten from the bottom of my heart and we already miss it

I love this daycare. It is top notch in the chicago land area. The facility is state of the art and the quality of care beats the national providers. They usually have a waiting list due to the high demand but if you are able to acquire a spot in the facility look no further

We signed up for this kindergarten. He is very good! Excellent food. Nice playground. Security is high. There is video surveillance. We talked to the parents and everyone was very happy! Teachers communicate in Russian, Ukrainian, Polish and English. But children are immediately taught to speak English. The director is a very nice woman. Will tell you how to get compensation if your income is low. So here it’s $250 for 5 days.

I have both of my toddlers attend this facility. Ages of my kids are 2 and 3.7 years and both started going full time at once. When I read the negative reviews I was very hesitant in taking my kids here but this was the only daycare with normal food and clean environment, so I took my chances but continued to be skeptical and paid attention to my kids’ behavior.
2 months later here is what I can say: both the kids and us the parents love everything about this place:
1. Director – Marina is a great person who loves kids and is highly professional. She knows all kids by their names and always has time if we want to discuss anything. Marina and Front Desk Manager Julia always welcome with a smile and are very courteous.
2. Teachers - they are incredible, loving, professional, and simply great people; I respect and take my hat off in front of these ladies who take a good care of my kids and treat them as their own, teach them so many interesting things daily (both kids bring their work home every day) and welcome them with a hug and say their good byes for a day with a warm smile asking to come back the next day. We love our teachers Liubov Lesiuk, Iryna Pilyuk, and Liubov Vovchuk!
3. The atmosphere - very friendly and fun, my kids demand to go back to the center as soon as we leave at the end of the day. My 3.7-year-old one who speaks well says that he likes to draw, dance, sing, and learn new things. When I pick him up, his eyes are always bright and he rushes to tell what he did each day.
4. The facility – this is a spacious building with tons of play spots and outside play area. Each room has a unique design and setup and all of them are bright and sunny
5. The food - this was very important for us since kids spend their entire day at the center and eat four meals there. This center focuses on balanced and nutritious meals such as soups, meat/fish, salads, lots of fruit and veggies – this is the kind of quality I would buy/prepare for my kids (take alone the Lifeway Kefir!)
6. Cleanliness – this point deserves a special attention. I have never seen a cleaner facility in the entire country taking the hospitals into consideration. This is a super clean facility!
7. Curriculum - I would never be able to teach my kids even 20% of what they are being taught in this center: music and dance classes, gymnastics, drawing, coloring, learning alphabet, colors, words, math, building social skills, and many other activities. Thank you to each member of this wonderful center! Keep up the great work!!! To anyone who is considering to take their kids to this center my advice is to not be deceived by a few negative reviews of furious mothers, but go and check this place out for yourself and your little ones. I didn’t know any person at this facility before I brought my kids and I am not friends with anyone, but I truly respect the hard and noble work each staff member of this center does. I would highly recommend it to any of my friends or relatives.

When I entered the door of the newly opened Children's Land on Belmont Learning Center, my first question was: where have you been when my elder daughter was a baby?
There is no other daycare center of such magnitude in our neighborhood and probably anywhere in Chicago.
My daughter is a toddler and I can't believe that she has learned the alphabet, colors, shapes and numbers; she knows almost all the American most popular songs for children and teaches us at home how to dance. No doubts, she is attending the best Learning Center imaginable.
In order to find a pleasant shady spot during a hot summer day in Chicago for your child, you have to drive her to some forest preserve or to the lake. Can you do it during your busy week? I can't because I work full time. Children's Land on Belmont Learning Center has the best playground-oasis in the middle of the busy street where kids are protected from the sun, with the swirl sprinkler system for the kids and million toys, bicycles and games for the outside fun in summer. I love this place and the teachers. My daughter is the happiest child on Earth attending this loving and caring center and having Halyna as her teacher.

Look no further, this place is amazing. The teachers, staff, most beautiful facility, technology, state of the art playgrounds and other resources have exceeded my expectations.
We live very far from the Children's Land on Belmont Learning Center but I don't mind spending time driving there with my daughter for everything she is getting there. This is the most beautiful two-storied center you can imagine. Your child will never get so much attention, so much care and so much love anywhere else.
When my daughter started attending the center a few months ago, she was very shy, very reserved and not too social. She got involved in so many activities at the Center, that I can barely recognize my child.
The Center offers daily math, language and art/crafts classes as well as extra-curricula music and dance classes included in a very reasonable tuition.
If you are looking for the school for your child, just visit the center and you will never regret you went there.

I brought my toddler daughter to Children's Land on Belmont Learning Center almost immediately after it was open. If not for Galina, the teacher in Toddler class, I would never be able to work or leave my child anywhere. My daughter was crying non-stop for quite awhile. She refused to lay down in bed during nap time and Galina was carrying her for hours to calm her down.
My daughter decided that the rocking chair in the room was purchased for her and spent most of the day sitting there. It was a very tough beginning and I thought it was my destiny to become a stay at home mom to care for my child.
If I tell you that just a few months later I spend at least 30 minutes every evening begging my daughter to go home, would you believe me?
Would you believe me that my daughter wants to go to "school" on Saturdays and Sundays?
I used to call the Center every half an hour to find out if everything was fine there with my daughter and with the teacher who had to patiently care for her?
I have no problems now working full time and never feeling anxious to call the Center. I am confident that my child is cared by the most loving people, in the most amazing center surrounded with love, cleanliness, generosity and professionalism.
I love this place I recomment everyone to enroll your children there without wasting time for visiting other centers.

My toddler started at Children's Land after a year at another daycare facility. He's pretty well adjusted, albeit a bit shy. We thought he was doing 9k at the other daycare facility, and he was....
But he is absolutely flourishing at Children's Land. The first few days, the adjustment from one facility to another was a bit rough on my son, but by the end of the first week, he'd wake up and actually try to get himself dressed just so we could go to daycare even earlier.
He's absolutely in love with his teachers and classmates. Miss Irena is a steady presence in his daily talk around the house, and he loves the activities.
Every day he comes home with a drawing or craft he did in class.
We also appreciate the fact that Children's Land provides breakfast service. We are very conscientious about what we feed our son. Most of what he eats is home cooked from scratch.
We love that the facility feeds our son real, wholesome foods. We also appreciate the active level of participation that the facility teaches its children. Since starting at Children's Land, our son has been much more active and independent around the house- in a good way. He is much more diligent about cleaning up after himself, and he even wants to help prepare meals when we eat dinner during the week or make breakfast at home on the weekends.
Finally, we love the cosmopolitan atmosphere of the facility. It's like a mini United Nation's. There are kids of all backgrounds, and we rally appreciate the fact that our son is exposed to so many great kids and teachers from different backgrounds.
For each family, a child is pure treasure, and we all have our own views of how to protect and care for our little treasures. I am absolutely comfortable with Children's Land, and would wholeheartedly recommend them without hesitation.
My wife and I are expecting a little girl in a few weeks, and I have absolutely no doubt that she will attend Children's Land when the time comes.
