Schools near North Chicago, IL

“Miss Susan is very experienced and does a great job with all of her children. I have had nothing but good experiences with her and the care of my infant. She is very attentive and you can see it in the way she talks about the littles she cares for and the way she supports and communicates with mom (or other parent). I highly recommend!!”

“My sons, have both been coming here for quite some time now and have had some awesome experiences here. My oldest's teachers, Ms. Loren and Ms. Delia have had had a wonderful impact on his growth and have made his time at TLE enjoyable. He always talks about them and is always excited to go back each day and see them. The same can be said about youngest's teachers, Ms. Heavenlee and Ms. Michelle. They have all been our boys' family away from home and we greatly appreciate the impact that they have had on our boys' lives.”

“My child had a great time at The Gardner School - Lincolnshire. The staff members and teachers are always welcome and friendly. The teachers in each classroom are very responsible, and they care about the child health condition and academic development on a day-to-day basis. When we pick up our child, she always wants to stay longer at school. That tells me how comfortable she feels when she is at school interacting with her friends and teachers. The staff also pay a lot attention to details, especially the pronunciation of the child's name and their parents' names. We had opportunities to participate in the graduation ceremony and holiday parties this year and found it very eventful and well organized. I would recommend The Gardner School - Lincolnshire to friends who live nearby.”

“We have recently changed to BKSU after a less than great experience at a school in Deerfield.

After realizing that we needed to move our daughter, we contacted several schools. BKSU was very welcoming in setting up a tour for us. Upon meeting Tatiana and seeing the school, I was confident that we’d found a great placement. Tatiana has a very happy energy and is a strong and peaceful woman. We were glad to see that there is encouragement of potty training, letter recognition, writing etc. in short after just one month, I believe that she is true to her word to love kids and get them ready for kindergarten.

We are happy that the children eat real food and have lots of movement. Our daughter is very happy too.”

“I can’t say enough great things about this daycare! They have been absolutely amazing with both of my kids, and as a parent, that peace of mind means everything. From day one, the staff has been caring, attentive, and genuinely invested in my children’s growth and happiness.

They create such a warm, safe, and welcoming environment where kids can learn, play, and thrive. My daughter is always so happy to be here, which says everything about how comfortable and loved she feels. I’ve seen so much development in both of my children—not just academically, but socially and emotionally as well.

The communication is always clear, and I truly feel like they treat my kids as if they were their own. It’s not easy trusting others with your children, but this daycare has exceeded my expectations in every way. I’m so grateful for everything they do each day.

I would highly, highly recommend them to any parent looking for a trustworthy and loving daycare!”

“We have loved Young at Heart daycare for our daughter! Especially Ms Cloe has been amazing. She has aided so much in our daughter’s development and you can tell genuinely cares about her milestones and gets excited to tell us her achievements. It’s so comforting knowing I can trust her teacher and work during the day stress free. They are a quaint little spot where your kid is not just another child.”

“Absolutely love it here, the staff and teachers are all truly wonderful people who care so much about the children. So lucky to have this daycare as part of our “village” and feel so confident in sending our child here.”

“We used one of the rooms with kitchen for our Christmas party. It was great except that it was on the day that it set a record high for December in northern Illinois. It was fairly warm in the room.”

“As a student at Forest Bluff I overlooked the value that (guided) independent study provided me and shrugged it off as an insignificant difference from the "block" scheduling used at traditional schools.More than a decade later, I can easily identify the Montessori alumni from my other peers: they're the colleague that improve existing protocols, take initiative wholeheartedly and lead others with passion and empathy.Forest Bluff allowed for me to see my career as an opportunity for growth rather than an unceasing "to-do" list. I'd recommend this school to anyone that wants to provide their children with an educational experience that fosters creativity and character.Go take a tour and find out how the Forest Bluff curriculum continues to guide students to impactful futures! You won't be disappointed.”

“We’ve had an amazing experience at The Goddard School, and the incredible team is what truly makes it special. Every teacher and staff member has been warm, attentive, supportive, and genuinely invested in our child’s growth and happiness. They create such a caring, welcoming environment not just for the kids, but for parents too. The team consistently goes above and beyond to make families feel supported and connected. Our child has thrived socially, emotionally, and academically, and we are so grateful to be part of such a wonderful community.”

“Bringing our child back to school was a difficult decision, and this team made it as easy as possible for us. Things are a bit different from our first KC facility; but during the pandemic, what is normal? Like everything in life nothing is perfect; but we plan on sticking with KC Gurnee. The staff are always friendly, our daughter loves her time there, and we greatly appreciate all they offer to help her develop.”
