Schools in Northbrook, IL

“My baby started daycare at 6 months, and we learned something new about her: she is incredibly strong-willed.

She was the baby who would go 7 hours without sleeping or drinking milk. No tears, minor fussing, just playing, observing, or chilling all day long.

She is now 8 months old. And I have to say, I am grateful for the team in her classroom. They have worked with my family, with compassion and care, advising and aiding all along this journey.

My baby is well taken care of, well loved, and happy in her class. She still doesn't nap and doesn't take milk well so she's basically there half-day (my fault, I wanted to gently work on this and I have flexibility at work to accommodate this), but she smiles, she sits and eats, she socializes.

Is it pricey to send her there for half a day? Absolutely. Do I wish there was a half day tuition option in the interim? Definitely. Yet, I still think it's worth every penny to ensure she has the best care that she is certainly receiving right now.”

“My family has had an amazing experience with NCNS! Our first son is a recent graduate of NCNS, and our second son is now in his first year in the Duckling program! School has been great for my kid's development, and my wife and I have made some great friends in the community through NCNS. We moved to Northbrook a few years back and did not really know anybody, and NCNS was also a great first step for us in getting to know other young families in the area.”

“There aren't enough words to describe how wonderful Little Ones has been for my son's first experience in school! The staff takes the time to get to know the students and are incredibly caring for them. Communication is top notch and I would highly recommend this school for all!”

“Went here in the 90s so glad to see it has kept up with the times when msny similar places could not or would not. Would send my own kids if I had any thanks for keeping a place of so many happy memories alive.”
