Schools in Hinsdale, IL

“We’ve had three kids at VCA over the last three years and have had a wonderful experience with all of our classrooms and teachers. They’ve created a great community and do a handful events throughout the year so the families can mingle and get to know each other. We’d also like to give a shoutout to the office staff who go above and beyond to make it a loving, enriching, and fun environment for our kids.

Update: May 2026

After five years at Village Children’s Academy, this daycare has become like family to us. From the very beginning, the front office staff (Beth, Jenn, and Jovanna) have been nothing short of amazing. They are always accommodating, attentive to specific requests, and truly do everything possible to keep the school running smoothly while making families feel supported and cared for.

Over the years, we’ve had so many incredible teachers who have helped shape our sons’ experiences, and we are so grateful for each of them (shoutout to Ms Pat, Ms. Esmerelda, Ms. Randy, Ms. Drea, Mr. Nick and so many more). Most recently, Ms. Becca and Ms. Jackie have rounded out our time at VCA and constantly went above and beyond to make learning magical and memorable.

Ms. Becca starts every morning with the warmest attitude that immediately makes both kids and parents feel welcomed and comfortable. Her positivity is contagious and sets the tone for a great day.

Ms. Jackie is truly one of a kind. She doesn’t miss a single detail and fully commits to every classroom theme and somehow always brings her creative visions to life. She even relieves that “mom guilt” by creating experiences that many of us wish we had time to pull off ourselves. Like grinch day and making sure the leprechaun came to cause chaos in the classroom on St. Patrick’s Day. The kids absolutely love it.

Together, Ms Becca and Ms. Jackie create such thoughtful and imaginative pretend play stations (our family favorite was the Costco setup), and the art projects are truly above and beyond. These and the memories are the kinds of keepsakes we will cherish forever. One thing that especially touched us was how they picked out individualized Christmas gifts for each student based on their personal interests, such a thoughtful and personal gesture that speaks volumes about how much they genuinely care for every child.

We are incredibly grateful for the love, creativity, and dedication this school pours into its students every single day. VCA has given our family so many special memories, and we could not recommend them more. We’ll be sad to end our time over the next couple of days, but are so thankful for the warmth we felt through the phone on my very first call with Beth the director that solidified our decision before we even had the chance to visit the school five years ago.”

“We’ve had such a great experience starting our daughter’s school journey here and loook forward to more years here in the future! Everyone is so friendly and made her feel very comfortable.”

“I can't say enough positive things about HCP. My oldest child started preschool there last September in the Just For Me Two class, and it has been wonderful. She has so much fun playing with the other kiddos, and she absolutely loves her teachers -- Ms. Lynn, Ms. Cathy, and Ms. Noemi. They are all so patient and kind, and it is obvious they really love teaching. They are very communicative -- sharing lesson plans and photos from the classroom, and making time to talk one-on-one with each family. The classroom is clean and well appointed with age-appropriate toys and a variety of activity areas. HCP has been great for my daughter's development, and I love that she is learning organically through play. The co-op setup also really creates a sense of community and encourages relationship-building amongst not just the kids, but their families as well. We love HCP and highly recommend!”

“Great school by far!! ? Wonderful, loving and caring, family-type atmosphere. Our girls attended from elementary, through high school, (both graduated from there) and are now in college, doing great things!! ?? So thankful and blessed that they were able to grow up and learn in such a safe and nurturing environment! Also many improvements are being done on the school and it’s looking wonderful!! ?”
