  We have been at this Center for six years and have had an amazing experience. My two children started as babies and continued through the Pre-K program. The teachers are engaged and are truly invested in the kids’ care and growth. Staff turnover is very low. The classrooms are bright and clean, and kids have the opportunity to spend part of the day tending to the garden, in the STEM room, in a large indoor play room (with bikes, scooters and balls) or outside on the playgrounds. There will be brand new playgrounds in Fall 2026. We get regular photos and updates throughout the day and can see how happy the kids are. My kids have formed great relationships with their teachers and classmates, and we’ve made friends with other parents as well. Overall, a wonderful place.

  I called and had a zoom meeting and I also informed them I’m in a rush to get him into daycare so I can go back to work. I guess because I’m black and live in a shelter the lady by the name of sue ocallaghan assumed I couldn’t afford it or something when I informed her me and the step father are paying. My baby is three months and it’s been difficult seeking child care. I loved the place when I saw it via zoom. One even emailed her again and no response. I feel disrespected and stepped on at this point because there was only one spot left which I’m sure is filled. I would not recommend this facility just based off my first impression

  It's the best daycare in this location. They have all the facilities and the rooms are quite nice, there are playgrounds inside and outside, most daycares don't have this luxury and kids are playing in one room the whole day that obviously is not good. During the day they have different activities that help kids learn and develop, they do enjoy them. As for the staff, actually all people are kind, open-hearted and nice, very professional, they really like children and take good care of them. Carol (office manager) is a wonderful woman, she is so supportive, responsive, and concerned about kids and teachers as well. They are like a big family. I've visited quite a lot of daycares in Chicago and even had some experience with my baby at another daycare, but when I finally found this one I became absolutely happy because now I'm not worrying about my baby, he is in safe and good place with good people taking care of him. I would highly recommend this place, you and your baby will love it.
