Schools near Long Grove, IL

“My children have been students at the school for the last 4+ years. Not only do I think the staff is amazing but the directors and owners are incredible with the kids. My kids loved their experience at this school and I 100% would recommend for anyone considering this school for their children.”

“My son has been attending The Goddard School of Buffalo Grove since July 2023 and we couldn't be more happy with the staff and daycare. Nitin the owner is always accessible for any questions, concerns or just to chat. He is easily one of the most genuine and approachable person I've met and he has been so accommodating and understanding of scheduling and my son's dietary restrictions. Communications are sent and received promptly with just the right amount of parent engagement events. The staffs are always so kind and cheerful, greeting every child by name. My son is delayed in speech but since attending he grew so much in his ability to express himself verbally, social skills with others and developmental skills in terms of self help. The teachers at Get Set class are AMAZING. The daily activities and art projects are so creative, educational and fun. They do take the time to care for each child and get to know their personalities and needs. I look forward to the daily photos and videos, sometimes with hilarious commentary. Not only that but my son rarely come home sick so that speaks volume to how clean they keep the classrooms and maintain good cleaning routines with the kiddos.”

“The best part of the school is their heart. The staff loves the kids and each other with everything in them. They have truly created a learning environment where the students feel safe enough to be curious and explore the world around them. The incredible passionate staff ingnite a life long love of learning with engaging challenging activities and hand on lessons. Each students unique and extraordinary abilities is not only embraced but celebrated. You can feel the joy throughout the entire building from the moment you walk in. Their is no doubt that they are all a family that genuinely brings out the best in each other”

“I was nervous about starting my infant in daycare but The Learning Experience has been great. Ms. Vicky, Ms. Madi and Ms. Paula are always so attentive and caring. Always keeping me updated of my infant day which is reassuring.”

“Our oldest has been at Bright Horizons for about three years and our youngest for six months and I cannot overstate how important BH has been to our family. The teachers and staff are truly wonderful educators and people. They make every child feel important and have been critical in helping our kids develop and learn new skills. They are always teaching new topics and ideas and encourage participation and interaction. At home, our oldest refuses to eat vegetables, but at school, he loves how Chef Jose makes them. Bright Horizons at Parkway North is truly a gift to the community.”

“We had a wonderful experience at A+ Plus Dayschool with our three children. After moving from the city, the transition for our oldest was seamless. The teachers are incredibly patient, kind, and caring. The director, Ms. Tangee, and the assistant director, Ms. Dulce, are very hands-on and always available to answer questions through the app. Overall, it was a truly positive and reassuring experience for our family.”

“It's been more than an year , my daughter goes to Acarath. She is enjoying nd looking forward to go to school everyday. Teachers are great with kids. Everyone Is very friendly. Facility is very clean and nice environment for kids!!”

“I have worked in childcare in different positions for 20 years and I must say that the management team at Kiddie Academy Arlington Heights is awesome. I appreciate that they care about the staff, children and families and try to adapt to meet needs. I love that this community of people take the time to help with ourside needs of the community as well!”

“My son has attended Goddard for the past three years, and I so appreciate their all hands on deck type of approach, the culture of the daycare center truly feels like a family!”

“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!”

“It took a huge leap of faith to leave the school our kids were at since they were 12 weeks old. After touring KA of Mt P, I got emotional realizing what my kids were missing out on. We made the switch to KA and have been so thankful everyday! Our oldest has been challenged academically every single day (he is a sponge who loves learning!) and I am so impressed with what he comes home telling us everyday! Our youngest has developmental delays that require modification of content and lots of patience, love and grace from his teachers. We have felt so supported by the directors and teachers and I can’t believe we didn’t switch sooner! The academic standards and character development we see the kids working on daily plus the amazing outside time they get mixed with supportive teachers and directors has been an absolute win for our family!”

“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.”

“BH Schaumburg is an excellent place to send your kids to learn and get better. We started our journey with a Covid-19 raised boy in Fall of 2021 who unfortunately did not had any social experience by then and the team at BH welcomed him with so much love and affection and transferred him into a very cultured, disciplined and love caring kiddo. Ms Angela, Ms Naureen, Ms Bessy, Ms Meghan, Ms Shaheena are all great teachers. But it takes a leader to run such a great team and Ms Karen (Director) is just phenomenal. Their daily structure for kids is great with STEM related learning & activities, food options are very healthy, facility is very clean and most importantly they care for you and your kids. Going above and beyond is just normal for the entire staff.I highly recommend this facility for any parent who is looking for a Daycare around Schaumburg.”

“Had to delete my old review and write a new one!My three yo has been going here for about 1.5 years now. We love it! The staff here all needs a raise because they're all just the best. So supportive, attentive, and kind above all! Being a new parent and new to daycare in general, it was a blessing to have not just the director Ms. Sims walk me through everything, but also the lovely teachers assist with my toddler adjusting to being away from mom (and me away from her too ). Ms. Debra even gave me a beautiful bouquet and chocolate, acknowledging my single parenthood. It was the most thoughtful gift and I still haven't come up with a way to thank her on the same level but I appreciated it so much?. Also since my kid is transitioning to a different class now, her old teachers Ms Megan and Ms Joana gave all the kids in their old class a little goodie bag with a personalized bracelet. This is all to say, this place is amazing and I really wish teachers/school staff were more valued in this country (paid more!) because they really do so much...and this Kindercare really goes above and beyond. Thanks to everyone and all the teachers?!!”

“Great learning center for children!! Amazing staff extremely clean facility everything about this location is phenomenal and I feel extremely safe leaving my child here! Kudos to this location it’s truly a hidden gem!”

“Children's Land Learning Center at Wheeling has been such a blessing for our family. Our older son just graduated from Pre-K after being there since he was two years old. Now our younger son who started at just 11 months is currently enrolled and loving it.
From the start, we’ve been consistently impressed with the warm and caring teachers, the thoughtfully designed curriculum, and the overall environment of the school. The staff truly goes above and beyond to create a safe, fun, and enriching space for children to learn and grow.
The curriculum is amazing. Our kids have learned so much about the world around them, from insects and animals to songs, dances, and creative activities. There’s always something new and exciting happening, whether it's Waterplay Day, learning a new song, or exploring a hands-on science project. It’s clear that a lot of thought and care goes into what the children are exposed to each day.
The cleanliness of the facility is another thing that gives us peace of mind. The classrooms, kitchen, and shared spaces are always tidy and well-maintained. You can tell they take hygiene and organization seriously, which we really appreciate.
And of course, the Spring and Winter shows are true highlights, beautifully put together and such a joy for the kids and families alike. They're moments we look forward to every year!
We’re so thankful to Children’s Land for creating such a positive and memorable early learning experience for our children. We couldn’t have asked for a better start to their educational journey.”

“The staff here are amazing. All so kind and wonderful with the kids. We've had all three children attend The Learning Tree and have been incredibly happy. We will be sad when our youngest heads to kindergarten and our days are over at LT.”

“Our family absolutely loves The Learning Experience in Lake Zurich. When we were looking to change daycares for both our toddler and infant, we had really high standards from safety, to curriculum to cleanliness. TLE has exceeded all of those. It's so hard to recognize just ONE amazing teacher when I feel that so many of them impact our children's daily lives. Our toddler is a very affectionate child and really thrives with cuddles and playful learning- she lights up every day when she sees Ms. Miriam and Ms. Eva- you can just tell they take extra time to care for her.We could not be more pleased with Ms. Marlene, Ms. IIda and Ms. Kelly (floater) in the infant class.... Ms. Marlene is so caring and organized and compassionate. It's hard to leave your (infant) baby but she makes us feel so secure about the care she provides.It's also abundantly clear that the daycare director Ms. Joanna is excellent at running the center. She is always walking around, checking in with her teachers and she knows all of the children by name. (Which is quite impressive).We would highly recommend The Learning Experience for its friendly & caring teachers, it's cleanliness, it's quality communication and outdoor play yard!”

“Young at Heart is a wonderful little community where all the staff has always been wonderful to my family. My daughter attended here for nearly 5 1/2 years and I would choose this play all over again. My daughter came a long way here, having started with a little speech delay they not only worked with her on that but accommodated her speech therapist coming to work with her. The way this place was run it wasn't just all play time all the time, the kids would get to fun projects that taught them new things from arts and crafts type stuff to science and other subjects. I really have to give a shout out to the new director and her teachers assistant. They haven't been here for that long but i can't imagine this place without them. I would absolutely recommend Young at Heart to anyone in the area looking for a day care you can't go wrong choosing this place.”

“We just had our daughter's birthday party there. The whole process, start to finish, was great. Eric and his staff were very accommodating. They interacted well with all of the kids and added some great energy! Awesome experience, highly recommend!”

“An all inclusive learning center for early childhood education and development. Full of developmental activities and enriching social, emotional as well as academic skills.”

“Today I visited the children's center for the first time, I came to register my daughter (although I had previously heard from other people that this is a very good place for children). In the building for parents there is a special screen on which you need to enter a code to enter the room; strangers will not be able to get there. Very friendly and attentive staff. Children have their own groups according to age, each of them has 2-3 teachers who teach, feed, put them to bed and walk with them. Children go to separate playrooms, ride on slides and ride on different types of toys. There are areas on the street fenced with a two-meter fence. The entire center is equipped with ? video surveillance cameras.”

“From the first phone call, the staff at this Kindercare have been outstanding. They are professional, kind, caring and have helped us through the process from enrollment to day to day ins and outs. I can't speak highly enough about this location and our daughter has thrived here!”

“The teachers/caregivers at Quentin Road KinderCare treat my child with the same care and respect that we try to provide at home. As a first-time parent, the teachers have helped me feel more comfortable and they’ve even taught me a few new things too! I love that we are all learning and working together. It takes a community and the KinderCare community makes it fun!”

“The Gardner School has been terrific for our daughter. She started as an 11-month old (is now a little over 2 yrs old) and is thriving thanks to the support and care from her wonderful teachers and staff. Everyone has been kind and communicative - both when things are going great; and especially when our daughter experienced traditional toddler struggles. We've seen The Gardner School foster a welcoming, comfortable environment for students and parents.When our daughter is at home, she's frequently raving about her teachers, friends, and all the terrific experiences and activities she engages in at school. We're very thankful to be a part of the TGS Community.”

“Our son didn't speak English when he started going to TGS of Schaumburg. It was a hard transition but the teachers and the staff made it easier for him. Everyone is friendly and always ready to talk and address any problems. We are happy that our son has made friends and feels happy at school.”

“I would highly recommend Messiah Lutheran Preschool and Kindergarten! They have the best teachers around! The entire staff is so kind and dedicated to teaching! They offer many class options as well as enrichment programs and before and aftercare. The kids are exposed to STEM, music, and they have a wonderfulnature playground! My daughters have spent 3 years at Messiah and are very well equipped for elementary school! I can’t say enough good things about Messiah!”

“This daycare has been nothing but amazing to my children and I for the last 3 months. My son was diagnosed with diabetes type 1, I spent 3 weeks calling and calling different daycare in different towns hoping someone would help my son and I, and it was always the same answer. That they had no experience or were certified. But Kinder care was the only daycare that said yes to me since the moment I called. All the staff was willing to take a class on zoom with the nurse and I. All the staff was so welcoming and so friendly since the moment we stepped foot into the daycare, I cannot thank Miss Mayra & Miss Andrea who take daily care of both of my children & ofcourse of Jj the director who is always on top of things and always makes sure to call me with an questions or concerns . Thank you to all the rest of the staff who has been amazing and super friendly to my family and I.”

“I can't say enough great things about this place. We've been a Kindercare family for over 2 1/2 years now and brought both our children there. Our oldest has learned so much and his vocabulary and communication skills have blossomed under their tutelage. He's made friends and loves going everyday. Shoutout to Ms. Marylyn and Ms. Nadia for making the classroom an enjoyable environmentOur youngest loves the infant room where we know he'll be well taken care of by all of the staff. Everyone is friendly, respectful and has our family's full trust. Our thanks go out to Ms. Dita, Ms. Kelly, Ms. Bertha, Ms. Marion and Ms. Lexie.For anyone considering this location just know that your child is in great hands by the best staff including the wonderful directors Ms. Susie and Ms. Sherry. #Kindercare”
