Schools in Wheeling, IL

“My daughter loves TLE! She started in the toddler class with Miss Victoria and Miss Jennifer, and they’ve both been wonderful! I was a little worried at first that she might cry or have a hard time adjusting to daycare, but she was having fun within a week. The staff is super friendly, and the classrooms are always clean and bright. I also like that they have two separate yards for different age groups. They do so many activities to keep the kids busy and entertained all day. Since starting, I’ve noticed my daughter has learned so much. Plus, they send updates and pictures all day through their app, which I really appreciate! I’m really happy with TLE and would definitely recommend it!

UPDATE: My daughter is almost 3, and she still loves TLE! Miss Jihan and Miss Arianna are amazing teachers for the Twaddlers class, and I can’t thank them enough for how caring and attentive they are. It’s such a great feeling knowing your child is happy and having a wonderful time while you’re at work every day.

All of the teachers are incredibly kind and caring, and the school is always organizing fun events and activities for the kids. Ms. Angela and Ms. Pavi are especially creative and fun, and you can really tell how much effort they put into making the experience special for the children. Thanks TLE!”

“My daughter has been attending Sound Garden + for about a year now. She started right before she turned 1 yo.
As for most parents it was very scary and stressful, I think I’ve cried the first couple of days more than she did. However, on the third day, she came in, saw her teacher and ran towards her, gave her a kiss and a hug! It was so heartwarming to see how happy my daughter was. Little kids feel the love and care they receive. Up until this day, she’s very excited every morning to go in and see her teacher and play with kids.
They have different activities on a daily basis even for such babies as 1-2 year olds. Sensory activity, music, singing, reading, dancing and so much more, it sure helps these little cuties to be more social and confident!
Also, I’d like to point out a very important aspect for me, which is food. They have their own kitchen on site, where the chef cooks fresh daily meals (breakfast, lunch and dinner) from scratch. You don’t see a few different vendors delivering all sorts of food from all over the place.
There were a couple of times we needed to pick up my daughter before they had dinner and asked for a plate to go. I’ve tried the food myself and it was delicious! The food is nutritious, well balanced, with grains, soups, vegetables and fruits. You won’t see a hot dog or a chicken nugget on the menu!
Highly recommended Sound Garden for kids at any age and looking forward to see how my daughter grows and develops.”

“Thank you Schoenbeck Kindercare :) In part because of your dedication, my son has fantastic behavior in 1st grade. He is also exceeding grade level even after skipping a grade. Childcare workers are noticed!”

“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.”

“Love the staff very friendly and caring of all the kiddos. I have been taking my kids since 2020 and all I can say is I’m so happy with all the changes they make to improve daycare experience to the next level.”
