“Fantastic daycare! The facility is clean, organized, and the curriculum is very engaging. The staff is incredibly warm, patient, and truly treats the kids like family. Highly recommend for any parent looking for a structured environment.”

“We love Little Sunshine’s Playhouse. Our kids have made so much social and academic growth while they’ve been there. Special shout-outs to Ms. Deja, Ms. Angela, and Ms. Olisha. They are the best teachers!”

“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.”

“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.”

“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%.”

“Bethel has been absolutely wonderful and truly the best preschool experience—for both my son and for me as a first-time mama sending my little one off to school. Every teacher and staff member is welcoming, kind, communicative, and flexible. You can genuinely feel that everything they do comes from a place of love and a tender, caring heart—which is exactly what my son needs.

They have been willing to work with my family to determine what works best for my son, ensuring a positive and supportive school experience. My daughter (3 years old) has loved watching her brother go off to school so much that she’s excited to join him next year!! As a parent, there’s nothing better than seeing your kids eager to walk into the classroom—it’s the greatest reassurance that the teachers & staff are doing something right :))

I truly can’t say enough positive things about Bethel. It’s the perfect place to begin your little one’s school journey.”

“I’m very happy with the care and attention my son receives at TLE. The staff, especially Debbie, Kendra, and Isa, are always kind, attentive, and make sure everything runs smoothly. It’s clear they truly care about the children and their development. I feel confident and thankful knowing my son is in such a warm and supportive environment.”

“My granddaughter attends TreeTown. 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!!”

“This was our daughter’s first year of preschool, and it has been such a wonderful experience thanks to Christ Church and its teachers. Not only do they provide an excellent educational program, but they also do an amazing job nurturing and celebrating each child’s unique personality and interests. They have truly made our little family feel welcomed, supported, and loved.”

“My daughter doesnt remember but I remember when she had a little oopsie?? I would recommend 5/5, this daycare really helped my child learn even when she has autism. I love them”

“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.”

“KC Woodridge North has had at least one (if not two or all three) of my children in their care for over seven years! We are so fortunate to have found them years ago by neighborhood recommendation. We have personally referred several others. Miss Kim and her staff are absolutely wonderful! My children have gone through almost every room in the facility and each one has been exceptional. The staff has been consistent throughout our time there which says a LOT. There is very little turn over keeping the learning environment for the children a top priority. Most daycare facilities cannot say the same. One of our children had some significant health issues at one point and the center was on top of it. Another has an anaphylactic allergy and I never worry about his allergy. My children’s education and emotional well-being has always been approached with respect, care, and an enormous amount of experience. This week we will be ending our daycare journey as we are aging into kindergarten with our youngest. I’ve teared up several times already. It will be bittersweet leaving our children’s home away from home.

10/5 stars. Cannot recommend enough.”

“We love love love the toddler class for our 20month old! The teachers are kind, caring, energetic, resourceful, and compassionate. I know my child is in great hands when I drop them off for the day! My child is always excited when I drop them off at school and in a good mood when I pick them up. I really love all of the updates and videos that I get throughout the day & love the updates they give me when I pick my child up. The teachers in the toddlers room sometimes swap with the 2s room so I feel connected to my child's next teachers as well. I highly recommend trusting this bustling & well run facility to care for your child!”

“I know the staff takes great care of my 6 month old son during the day and love all the photos they send. They do all sorts of fun and educational things, even with the babies!”

“Both of our children attended Kensington school of La Grange full-time from ages 2-5. We were very happy with our experience and felt our kids were always well cared for, and learning and taking part in fun and age appropriate activities. We highly recommend Kensington.”

“My son has been going to this daycare for 2 years now and as a first time, single mom, with all the worries in the world, they made me feel so comfortable. Great communication. My son always had such a great time at daycare and learning. They also made him feel so comfortable. From going from being afraid of being apart from each other, to waves/kisses goodbye in the window as I walked to my car for work, to now him giving me quick hugs and ready to run off and play ? just shows how much this daycare has helped both of us grow. Now my son will be saying his goodbyes tomorrow as his last day there, feeling ready for kindergarten.
Such a bittersweet moment, but I could not thank this daycare and staff more than words can explain. Thank you a million! It truly does take a village to raise a child ?”

“I write here to share my great experience with BBM school.
The staff is amazing and I don’t have enough words to thank everyone.They made my daughter happy every school day.
The school provides a warm , friendly , and comfortable environment for students besides the academic achievement by using Montessori philosophy of learning , Arabic , and Quran.
I highly recommend BBM school for every one looking for a special education experience.”

“The Creme is really a special place to entrust the care, development and curriculum for your children. We recently changed after our older son started Kindergarten and we didn’t know what we were missing. From administration(Chris G) to the teachers(Ms Helen & Ms Victoria), it has truly been an overall great experience. We look forward to continuing to work with them. They also have programs for the kindergarten kids that you may need coverage on closed school days or breaks as an add on. 5 starts not enough for this Westmont branch.”

“My son has been in this center for about 5 months now and loves his teachers Ms.Lei and Ms. Gloria in the twos classroom. He sings all of their songs and mimics the way they talk to him all day. They are also very patient and have great communication. Really eased my mind about putting my child in daycare for the first time !”

“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!”

“We love Cadence Burr Ridge so warm and welcoming they have great community value and open communication with parents. The staff are friendly. They post great pictures on the app and fun learning activities.”

“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!”

“There is no better provider of child care and early childhood education than the staff at Bobbie Noonan's. The care and instruction are excellent and I feel that my children are set up to succeed in Elementary school because of the education received at Bobbie Noonan's. The entire experience has been exceptional and I highly recommend them.”

“This school changed my life and gave me the skills, confidence, and support I needed to pursue my dream career. I will always be forever grateful for my experience here!

You can tell Michelle and the entire staff truly care about their students and want to see everyone succeed. They were always patient, encouraging, and willing to help whenever I had questions or needed extra support.

I HIGHLY recommend this school to anyone who is passionate about nails, cosmetology, or building a future in the beauty field!!?”

“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.”

“Carol's Learning Academy has been a blessing for us. Our two children have been going there for a couple of years now. The staff is kind, caring, and treat our children like family. They have learned and grown so much since starting there. We wouls highly recommend Carol's to anyone.”

“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 love my Kindercare. I moved here 2-3 months ago and it has been the best decision of my life. My children are in a focused environment and learning so much in such little time. They have given my daughter more structure in her classroom setting and more language as she develops. My son has more language and he loves his teachers. It has been a stressful transition in my life that my Kindercare has made as supported and helpful as possible. Not only are they organized, very clean facility, but the staff and teachers are so helpful and lovely.”

“My son has absolutely loved going to daycare here. They throw all these great community building events and he's made so many friends. I also love they provide a snack and lunch each day. He's really thrived and we've seen a big improvement with his letters as well! Highly recommend!”
