“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%.”

“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!”

The teachers are 100% committed to helping the whole child thrive, through play, arts, learning activities, and weekly yoga.She is excited to go and bursting to share about her day whenever I pick her up (2x/week).She loves all of the teachers, has made many friends, and the whole community is caring and fun and supportive of each other.Highly recommend this gem of a preschool!!”

“Everyone at BELC truly cares about helping children develop. They provide a nurturing environment and help cultivate broad skills while also focusing on individual interests. Our son wanted to read independently, and Ms. Jodie took time each day to help him on that journey. Healthy snacks and meals and flexible aftercare options are available, and communication and billing is streamlined in the Brightwheel app. BELC is the place to go for Pre-K education.”

“we went there to check out some softball but the facility is really nice. Fields looked well taken care of. The grounds were clean... really nice brick walkway through the middle of it. The restrooms were clean too. I was there at the height of cicada 2024 and the noise was relentless.”

“The center's respond has been great in respond to re-opening for COVID19. They were prepared weeks before - setting guidelines for students, teachers and parents.Teachers are amazing, creative, attentive and loves the children. The center is very organized and kept very clean.”

“We had the BEST experience with Creative Montessori. The teachers are gentle and kind. Our son really flourished there! It is off of a resendential street (unlike most other daycares) and there is a large backyard with actual grass for the kids to play. The playground is great too! The quality of learning, empowering, and nurturing for the cost is insane. This is the third of our daycare experiences and was absolutely the best! Wish we moved him there sooner.”

“A Mother's Touch is the Chicago NW Suburbs Lottery of daycare. I could not be more impressed, more comfortable, and more pleased with the teachers at this institution!! Turnover is low, which to me matters more than anything else. Their communication is top-notch. They treat every kid like they are special and loved. They share concerns in person and send photos and videos of support throughout each day And they are cheaper than a-ny-where close by. And let me tell you, I have done my research. Currently sending my 3 y/o and 8-month-old and this is the only place I think I could manage the cost. This place is the gold standard for what a daycare should be- full of love, laughter, and an impressive degree of patience. TEAM AMT FOR NOW AND FOREVER!”

“The Lombard Kindercare is a warm, inviting environment that has friendly staff and excellent childcare. The staff has been very accommodating to our child's needs and has worked in her best interest to make her feel comfortable and at home in a new place. This is by far the best childcare center I have ever come across! Excellent quality, communication and I feel that my child gets the best care. I would highly recommend!”

“My daughter has been going to this Kindercare location for almost a year and is currently in the twos room. She is having a great time cause her teachers and the Admin staff are awesome. Ms. Dinara and Ms. Jackie are very supportive and have helped us out a great deal in a time of need. I would definitely recommend this location for your little ones.”

“We've been taking our son here for over a year. We love his teachers and can definitely see how much he is learning and socializing. The management is professional, friendly, and they respond to any concerns or questions immediately. We can tell all the employees there care about the children. We also like the app and getting a daily report each day of our son's activities. Overall, this is a great daycare center.”

“My boyfriend and I recently attended an etiquette class with Sarah, and it was truly an exceptional experience from start to finish!! The lesson was not only informative but also incredibly engaging and relevant to real-life situations.

What we appreciated most was how she made us feel comfortable while still emphasizing the importance of grace, respect, and kindness in the way you treat yourself and others. The session was thoughtfully designed--covering everything from dining etiquette and social interactions to proper poise.

The class didn't just teach rules; it inspired genuine confidence in how to present yourself thoughtfully in any setting. We left feeling more self-assured, polished, and prepared for both personal and professional interactions. Not too much to my surprise--but maybe a bit to his--on the drive home boyfriend told me how much he really enjoyed it and had fun!

We highly recommend this class to anyone looking to refine their social skills, boost their confidence, or simply learn the timeless art of courtesy. It's a true investment in yourself that pays off in every area of life.”

“Little background:Our first son went to a different daycare locally (in Schaumburg)...just 1....for 5 years straight. No major issues. We moved homes and had our 2nd one, daughter. We went through 4 nannies in 8-9 months and finally were ready to put her in a daycare.We chose ANOTHER local daycare (post-pandemic time, high demand, low availability, long waitlist etc.). The center itself was great and accommodated us at a 24 hour notice! Director and teachers were good, but in the 6 months, our daughter was there, she kept falling sick every few days...severe rashes, yeast infections, HFMD - 3 times...needless to mention the regular cold/cough/fever etc. Add to that, her vaccinations! We were sick and tired but mostly, felt sorry and helpless for our daughter.Then, we found BH at The Chancellory location. Ms. Sabryna and Ms. Jo were very accommodative from my first phone call.* The floor plan is so inviting and open - makes you want to spend time there.* The teachers have been very caring...first in the toddler room and now in the 2s.* The rooms are large and spacious.* They have 3 sectional playgrounds in the back.* It's amazing how every little kid wants to engage and interact even with the administrators and share their thoughts!* It's been over 8 months now and our daughter is flourishing there.* They handle sicknesses and infections very seriously and proactively (instead of us telling them!)All this is a testament to their commitment, compassion and longevity of teachers.Although, my drive time went from 4 mins to 12 mins one way and the price was almost 40% higher (compared to the previous daycare) I am happy to drive/pay, knowing our daughter enjoys her time there. The care is much higher! She has not had 1 diaper rash since then or a viral infection..other than cold once or twice.Definitely recommend this location, if you are able to afford it. Check if your employer has a discount program - that helps.”

“Daylight Learning Center is a diverse daycare that strive to prepare your child/children for the next education journey. The commitment and dedication I witnessed from the staff and core teachers for each grade level was incredible. My son was born during the pandemic so he lacked social skills and struggled breaking out his shell in the beginning at Daylight. Ms. Valerie, Ms. Tracy, Ms. Ashanti and Ms. Lanya did not give up on my son despite his challenges he encountered throughout his journey. Having a support system like this is vital for parents! Today as he said his goodbyes, he said he almost cried as everyone sang the farewell song. Being able to express his feelings so openly now versus from the beginning of is journey shows just how much effort and dedication Daylight community impacted him. We will miss each and every one of you! Continue to be passionate and pour into each new daylight student to come!”

“We were searching for a Russian speaking daycare with great food options for our child and Children's Land caught our eye. Even though there is no Russian speaking group in this location, my child's language skill improved so much due to listening to Ukrainian and practicing Russian at home. The child adjusted nicely to the daycare and made so many friends there. There are different activities for kids every day, including singing, painting and dancing. Honestly, couldn’t be happier ?”

“We were so lucky to have found this place after we moved. They take such great care of our children and our kids love the teachers, the friends they have made, and the outdoor play space”

“My son attended this daycare for 4 years and he loved it. The teachers are always in contact with what happens with your child. You grow a family with them the teachers are very patient and loving towards the children.”

“First of all just want to express my gratitude and thanks to the staff because they have done an awesome job with my daughter and she has overcome her shyness as time past by. She has learn and developed a lot of her vocabulary and interactions with other little ones like herself. I recommend this place so much to who ever needs their little one to start learning new things and learn what rules are”

“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.”

“The faculty and staff at Goddard are excellent. They are both positive and empathetic 100% of the time. They understand the challenges of young children and how to just roll with things while creating a positive atmosphere that fosters learning, exploration and social development. I always leave from drop-off and pick-up with a good feeling about how my children are being taken care of.”

“After being a single father for practically 3 years out of all the day cares I had my daughter in this is by far the best. And the kids love it too. I wish I would have known about this place sooner. But now we don't have to worry as much I know the kids are in a good place I can start getting my life back together now”

“I have nothing but wonderful and amazing thing to say about Millie’s House! When we first start it was our first experience with a daycare and they were wonderful and kind and caring. Brenda did nothing but love and care for little guy. During this time he had a speech delay and they had so much patience and support for him at that time. As he moved onward to his next class we were amazed at everything he was learning and amazed by everything he would come home and tell us about his day. Now we are on our last year with them and we are overwhelmed with all the love and projects and patience Ms. Jennifer gives to him. The director, Ms. Diana is so helpful and has been so supportive of everything we have needed over three years. I am sad to be leaving this wonderful place. We appreciate everything they have done and continue to do.”

“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!”

“Kids Academy is the most loving, supportive, and attentive daycare our son has been in. After 1.5 years of disappointing corporate daycares, Kids Academy immediately felt like a loving home. The teachers are warm and engaged, the children are happy and thriving, and leadership takes an active role in the community and promoting early childhood education. To top it off, tuition is shockingly low compared to other daycares in the area. Above and beyond all expectations and highly recommended.”

“I absolutely love PAW, I felt like they were very “strict” in the beginning process but it all was for the best interest of our kids. I love what they do and my daughter has only been there for a few months but it’s definitely helping her develop and I appreciate the staff they have always been nice to us. I love that they utilize brightwheel so I can be updated throughout the day.”
