  We’ve had such a wonderful experience with this daycare. My daughter has been here for over two years and has been so happy every day. The teachers are caring, responsible, and truly attentive to the children. Whenever we had any questions or concerns, communication was always smooth and issues were handled promptly and thoughtfully. It gives us great peace of mind knowing she is in such a loving and supportive environment. We’re very grateful to all the teachers and highly recommend this daycare to other families!

  My daughter attended the daycare for about 10 months, and I cannot express enough gratitude for the wonderful experience we had. Ms. Angie, my daughter’s class teacher, is truly an amazing educator. She always greeted us with warmth and kindness, and she consistently showed genuine care and attention toward my daughter. Thanks to her, I was able to leave my daughter in her care with complete peace of mind. Additionally, Ms. Linzi, the director, provided us with flexible support and sincerity that truly comforted my husband and me during challenging times. All the teachers who interacted with my daughter were remarkable individuals. They always engaged with her warmly and with a smile. It was especially memorable that every staff member knew my daughter’s name, which speaks to the close-knit and welcoming environment of the daycare. We are incredibly grateful as a family for the days spent in such a warm and nurturing atmosphere. Thank very much.

  Everything about UCC has been great! Our son started in the infant classroom and the entire experience has been amazing. The teachers, especially Ms. Rosa, have helped his development so much!

  Our son started at UCC when he was four months old, around four months ago. I can't say enough good things about this place. The teachers and administrative staff are friendly, supportive, and clearly care a great deal about the kids in their charge. The photos and videos we are sent throughout each day show a happy, smiling, active boy. His development at UCC—crawling, climbing, almost being able to stand by supporting himself—has been obvious. Deciding where to leave your child all day, Monday–Friday, is tough. You don't want to feel responsible for sending them to the wrong place; you don't want them to be sad or not developing. After four months at UCC I know we made the right decision by enrolling our son there. We are about to move house and I am very sad that it will no longer be practical to send our son to UCC. If I could take it all with us, I certainly would. The next daycare we go to has a tough act to follow.

  As a parent, the level of consideration that goes into selecting childcare encompasses a variety of factors— teachers/leadership, sanitation, curriculum, convenience/location, and of course the “human factor” (the personalities and beliefs of those caring for your kiddos). Placing trust in a center to nurture and care for your child isn’t a light decision, and having experienced other daycare centers, I am delighted to say that UCC has been wonderful all around. While there was a waiting list when we first enrolled, I completely understand why that was the case! My child has now been with this center for almost 2yrs, growing and developing alongside all of the friendly faces in each classroom— teachers and children alike. From hitting milestones to developing cognitive, physical and social skills; I see the impact of my child’s time here daily! Throughout every stage, the teachers truly care— from their day to day needs but also their overall health and development. The staff is diligent in providing updates, prompt with communications, and always practice highest levels of sanitation. Located in the heart of Northwestern’s medical campus, this is a wonderful center for employees (with a discounted rate) or for families searching for an amazing center. Last, but certainly not least, this center fosters a sense of community that often is so rare for early education. Thank you to all at UCC!
