I cannot recommend Giving Tree enough. From day one, they felt less like a daycare and more like parenting mentors. Miss Aliya recognized my son’s hunger cues as an infant (when I sadly did not), Miss Tameisha unlocked starting solids for us (key: strawberries), and Miss Eb went above and beyond by making herself available whenever we needed support.
Miss Alisha’s dedication is unmatched — from dressing up as an inflatable duck on Halloween for the kiddos, to giving my husband and me extra blankets and clothes when we underestimate the weather (and my child’s blowouts). She notices every detail, remembers the little things, and treats each child like her own.
When I made a last-minute request for them to care for my son while I packed for Disney World last week, they responded with kindness and flexibility. When I dropped him off today (after lugging him around Orlando for four straight days because he preferred me to his uncle, his aunt, and even his father), my son toddled on over to hug Miss Tameisha and didn’t care one bit that I was saying goodbye — the clearest sign of the love and trust they’ve built. We are deeply grateful for Giving Tree and highly recommend them.

Highly recommend. We had a great experience here from the infant room to the older toddlers room!

We have had an amazing experience at the Giving Tree in Logan Square. Our daughter is stimulated, happy, and does a huge variety of activities throughout the day. There is music, crafts, soccer, yoga, circle time, reading, and other activities to keep her busy and constantly learning. It has been great for her socialization skills and she is excited to go to school every day. We have had great experiences with all the teachers so far including Ms Dana, Ms T, Ms Linda, Ms Cece, and Mrs McPhaul. We love seeing Ms Alisha and Ms Shante every morning/evening too and they are a dream to work with! Highly recommend.

We love The Giving Tree! Our family has had nothing but great experiences with all of the teachers and staff at TGT. Our oldest child’s teachers (Ms. Michelle, Ms. Aniyah, Ms. Nicole, Ms. Brianna, Ms. Shaniyah) always went the extra step to make a shy kid feel comfortable. He learned so much in their classrooms while also having fun. We are just getting to know our 6 month old’s teachers but we already feel she is safe, comfortable and loved by Ms. Hollis and Ms. Anyae. The Directors are also kind and caring. Ms. Jaleesa always has a smiling face. Thank you all for helping to take care of our family!

We’ve had 2 children attend here and couldn’t be happier. Lots of love, help with potty training, learning to write. It’s been a great experience and a solid routine that is getting them ready for kindergarten.
