“Mary Sears has been such an amazing experience for my family. The teachers and directors are so patient, kind, and fun! My 3 year old has such a special bond with his teachers and truly loves school. Ms. Bermudez has made this is a very special place for him. As a first grade teacher I am floored by all the things he is learning.
The entire staff is amazing as well as all the activities, crafts, parties, and enriching experiences. I feel very confident dropping my 3 & 1 year old off everyday because I know they are in amazing hands.”
“Our child has been at VCA for over 3 years. Every second she has spent there I have felt 100% confident that she is taken care of. She has grown leaps and bounds since she first started at VCA. Their focus on learning, development, and fun has created a great environment for our Daughter to thrive. Ms. Jonyce and Ms. Jocelyn are truly amazing teachers / leaders. They know exactly what our Daughter needs to continue to grow!”
“For anyone that is skeptical about Daycare, Daylight Learning Center, for my wife, and I has been one of the best experiences thus far. I would give this place 20 stars if I could ! Very professional, communicative and highly skilled. Amazing place, definitely the best place !”

2816 N Pine Grove Ave, Chicago“WeeCare has been home for our family for over the past 4+ years, and we couldn’t have wished for a better experience! Both of our kids (ages 2 and 4) immediately loved the space, teachers, and all of the great activities (soccer, yoga, dance, etc.) so much. We are so grateful of the care they gave our kiddos and the peace of mind my husband and I got each day at pick-up and drop-off. The staff is the best and we will all miss them and look back fondly at this time ❤️Not to mention, we met some long-lasting friendships with a lot of the other parents!!”
“My little one started at children’s creative center about 7 weeks ago. He is currently 16 months and had a nanny prior. My husband and I could not be happier with our choice in sending our son to CCC. The staff is so friendly, nurturing, attentive, and caring. Our little guy says his teacher’s name (abbey) non stop.I toured many places during my day care search and I can say with confidence that we made the perfect choice. We love CCC, especially my son!”
“We are so thankful to have found Cadence Academy Preschool. They have been so flexible with our part time schedule and provide outstanding care. Ms. Cady, Ms. Emily and Ms. Monce are AMAZING!! They are thoughtful, caring and energetic. The staff and teachers provide updates throughout the day and communicate well. We love Cadence!”

2817 N Pine Grove Ave, Chicago“As a former educator, I am very particular about what I want in a school for my children. We were very nervous how the transition would go for our son who was born right at the start of COVID but through their gentle transition into school, he’s thriving. The teachers at Mary Meyer are the absolute best, they are highly qualified, truly know children, have such fun and engaging activities, but most importantly they are kind. Not only do we love the school but my son looks forward to it every day. The amount of information (and tons of pictures!!!) we receive as parents is phenomenal. The activities are very purposefully curated and spark such excitement and learning. I love that my son walks into school with a huge smile, is smiling and giggling throughout his play, and leaves smiling, often covered with bits of paint and glitter from all his adventures.”

1301 W Madison St STE 100, Chicago“We love Gardner! The staff is fantastic and caring as can be. They took great care of our daughter and even after just a few weeks, we noticed advancements in both her abilities and understanding cues. Additionally, they made it as seamless as possible to onboard, get billing & logistics all figured out, and overall, make us as parents feel comfortable. We’d recommend Gardner to anyone looking for top notch care for their child.”
“The teachers here are very dedicated. Ms. Selene and Ms.Diana have been wonderful! Very understanding and they have made my little girl feel like family. The coordinators are very knowledgeable and open to answer any and all questions. I'm very happy with the environment and attention to kids. Thank you North Elston Kindercare ?!!!”

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 ”

500 W Superior St, Chicago“Gardner River North is such a great school! From the front desk staff to Miss Sydney and Mr. DJ. They really care to make sure our children our safe and learning. I appreciate always be welcome into the class and knowing that my son was good in class and getting a detailed report each day I pick him up. I also love that they send us photos and daily learning so we know what our children are doing during the day. Such a great staff! Sad to see Miss Sydney go but Mr. DJ is fabulous. I’m sure he will do a great job as well.”
“My daughter attended the day care for a little over a year and It was definitely a very good experience , I always felt like she was in a safe environment and well taken care of , they helped tremendously when it came time for her to potty train and to teach her to be more independent , the staff is always so nice and they made me feel very comfortable with leaving my child , they would even text me pictures of my daughter so that I could feel at ease at the beginning , specially Maria , I will be forever grateful to Dobbs for what my daughter learned with them and the time she spent there , it was definitely bittersweet when we had to move on to a preschool , so I would
Recommend them
Completely!”
“My two year old and infant attend ALC #4 in La Grange Park. We started in April 2023 and have been SO pleased with our experience. We were transferring from our Lincoln Park daycare and found it to be a very smooth transition. The teachers have been very nurturing and my two year old is genuinely happy walking into school each day to see her teachers and friends. They offer great programming, ample outside time and lots of arts and crafts. My infant just started and I feel very comfortable entrusting her care to the wonderful teachers here. It's a big decision finding the right fit for full day childcare and I am very happy our family found ALC #4.”
“I trust this daycare with leaving my son in there care. The teachers are great and the owner has a lot of patience on explaining things.
I love that they send you continuous photos of your child's progress and videos of activities that they do on a regular basis.”

1040 N Harlem Ave, River Forest“Wonderful community and staff. I think the only vice I have would be the outdated website and newsletter. The color schemes and formatting does not match the decorum seen offline in the face-to-face interactions.”
“My daughter was enrolled in Dreamers from June 2022 through December 2023. The only reason we left was because we moved too far away. We loved our time at Dreamers and my daughter loved going there. She enjoyed the teachers, the activities, and always looked forward to running into daycare every day. She had a great experience and Dreamers played a big role in those formative months/years.”

2214 N Elston Ave, Chicago“Words cannot describe how much we love Green Bean! We toured multiple daycare centers in Chicago and immediately when we walked into Green Bean we knew it was the one! Our daughter has been going there since she was just 6 months old and we have watched her thrive both socially and developmentally. The teachers and staff are amazing and truly treat each kid with kindness, so much nurturing and are always happy. The activities they do have so much thought and creativity behind them. We know when we send our daughter there she isn’t just stuck inside a classroom. They ensure the kids get music, playtime in the studio, sensory activities catered to their age, and plenty of outdoor time. Green Bean also makes it so easy on the parents as they help figure out sleep schedules, eating routines and transitioning from purees to solids. They do it all from bottles to solids and you don’t have to worry about anything.We are relocating to move across the country and we truly contemplated postponing our move until our kids went to Kindergarten because there is truly no school like Green Bean out there and we can’t image sending our kids anywhere else. We are going to miss everything about this school and so grateful for our time there!”

10701 Kilpatrick Ave, Oak Lawn“My family and I feel very fortunate to have found such a warm and wonderful daycare. Director – Wow! She is the best. Francis is there every day before we get there don’t know how she has the energy. She knows everything, fills in when needed in each room. She is wonderful. Not sure what would Kiddy Kare Site I would be without her.”

1525 W Wilson Ave, Chicago“Our family absolutely loves the Gardner School! Our two sons go there and we appreciate them delineating between the “academic year” and “summer camp”. Our older son went from a less traditional daycare without a defined curriculum to the Gardner programs and within weeks we saw extraordinary progress with his development with counting and the alphabet. He was brought in brand new to the Two’s program about 6 months after they opened this location. We also appreciate the extracurricular activities available (offered once a week). Our oldest was involved in karate and gymnastics and our youngest is enjoying the music program. The Gardner school uses the Brightwheel app to communicate with parents throughout the day, and send us picture throughout the day. The teachers have been great and communicative, and are open to parent involvement.”
“I enrolled my 2 year old last year & we couldn’t be happier with the experience. My daughter has type 1 diabetes & the staff at The Castle are incredible. They are ALL kind, patient, tentative & communicative. My daughter loves going to school & I truly feel like she is in the best hands every time I drop her off. I would recommend The Castle to anyone who is looking to send their kids to a place with kind hearted people. You can really tell they take pride in what they do.”
“I love this school! My daughter’s first time going to school for early head start! Kove communicate with parents really good! And fun Activities not just for the kids but for parents also which is really fun! My daughter loves going to school every morning and comes out of school with a big smile in her face every day!!”

757 N Austin Blvd, Chicago“Definitely one of the best daycare/preschool I know. Their staff is so loving, caring and hands on with my son, and the facility is amazing. What really blew my mind was how they were so helpful with helping me find resources and therapies for my son development and especially with the IEP process. They were there to speak with the advisors/therapists so they could also get better insight to gauge where my son is in his development in school and what programs he should continue to get and what would be the best school he should go to continue his services. Overall, PAW is the best daycare/preschool I know and my son would not be where he is in his development without them.”
“I can't believe it has been 50 years. I am honored to say I was one of the first students of Les Finch's Learning Tree. I celebrated many milestones here. Mrs. Finch and Mr. Ben ensured it was a daycare second to none. I attended daycare, as well as the after school program. I was a member of the Gospel Choir, and The Les Finch's High Steppers majorettes. Les Finch's was also a rich part of my family history.....my mother was a teacher, choir director, and majorette leader for many years, as well as my daughter being a student, and a DGM modeling alumni. I thank God for Les Finch's....... congratulations on 50 years of service, may God bless you with many more”
“I love this place because they always have activities to do with the children, inside and outside the center.I have taken my daughter since she was 10 months old and she has learned many things from the teachers. They are always attentive to the children in all aspects. I am very pleased with the services they provide and I recommend them 100%.”
