  My son has been attending creme de la creme for the past 3 years. The staff is caring, patient, and genuinely invested in the children’s happiness and development. From the moment we walked in, we felt welcomed and confident that our child was in a safe, nurturing environment. The teachers do an amazing job with learning activities, communication, and keeping the kids engaged throughout the day. We’ve noticed such positive growth in our child’s social skills, confidence, and excitement about learning. The facility is always clean, organized, and well-managed, and the staff consistently goes above and beyond to make families feel supported. We are so grateful to have found a daycare we can truly trust and highly recommend it to any parent looking for quality childcare!

  I only have great things to say about this place. My daughter has grown a lot since going there. I would choose this place all over again if I had to.

  Choosing Crème de la Crème in South Barrington has been one of the best decisions we’ve made for our family. After extensive tours and research, we initially chose Crème because Ashley immediately stood out with her passion and leadership, and because the security is excellent, including fingerprint-required access that provides real peace of mind. We have continued at Crème for an ever-growing list of reasons. They offer a wide range of scheduling options and include enrichment activities directly within the school day—such as soccer, ballet, Ninja Warriors, and more. As two working parents, having these opportunities built in has been invaluable and has eliminated the need to juggle work schedules around outside activities. Rather than a traditional daycare model, the program feels like a thoughtfully designed learning experience (while looking like Main Street in Disneyworld). Children rotate rooms throughout the day, exploring subjects like music, art, STEM (including coding!), Spanish, and more. They get dedicated play time inside, outside, and, during the summer, at their onsite waterpark. The teachers are incredibly loving, attentive, and genuinely invested in each child. The healthy meals and snacks provided are another major bonus. Our four-year-old started here at age two, and our second daughter began at just three months old. Since enrolling, both children have truly thrived. With our now six-month-old, the teachers focus on developing motor and cognitive skills which we see grow every day. Our four-year-old regularly says and does emotionally and intellectually impressive things that clearly come from what she has learned here (because they definitely didn’t come from us!). We also greatly appreciate the frequent photos and updates we receive throughout the day. We are incredibly grateful for the care, structure, and enrichment Crème de la Crème provides and would highly recommend it to any family seeking exceptional early childhood education.

  We have had a wonderful experience at Crème and cannot say enough good things about this center. They offer a variety of programs, including morning only and full time options, which makes it easy to find a schedule that truly works for your family. The day is thoughtfully structured with children rotating into enrichment rooms that follow a set curriculum, including a STEM lab, music, art, Spanish, and more. Kids are broken into smaller groups throughout the day, DCFS ratios are always maintained, and they are never packed into one classroom all day. The rotating schedule, set in blocks about every half hour, keeps children engaged and greatly reduces boredom and behavioral issues. My son attended another center prior to Crème and had a very difficult experience. Since starting here, he has been thriving socially, emotionally, and academically, and he is genuinely happy and excited to go to school. There can sometimes be a stigma attached to large childcare brands, but the reality is that a center is only as good as its teachers and leadership. Crème’s teachers are what truly make this center exceptional, and we are incredibly grateful to be part of their community. Highly recommend !

  They racial profile My child with Down syndrome now we have to drive 40 mins just to get to the daycare. It’s sad the kids have to go through this in 2025. 🙏🏾
