Children's Land Learning Center at Chicago - Chicago, Illinois

We were searching for a Russian speaking daycare with great food options for our child and Children's Land caught our eye. Even though there is no Russian speaking group in this location, my child's language skill improved so much due to listening to Ukrainian and practicing Russian at home. The child adjusted nicely to the daycare and made so many friends there. There are different activities for kids every day, including singing, painting and dancing. Honestly, couldn’t be happier 😀

Great staff and amazing ladies that truly care about your child. I’m do happy that they offer so many snacks and meals and different variety of healthy food. This place is a little bit away of my house, but it’s definitely worth it to go extra mile, especially if I know that my child is getting great care.

I have both of my toddlers attend this facility. Ages of my kids are 2 and 3.7 years and both started going full time at once. When I read the negative reviews I was very hesitant in taking my kids here but this was the only daycare with normal food and clean environment, so I took my chances but continued to be skeptical and paid attention to my kids’ behavior.
2 months later here is what I can say: both the kids and us the parents love everything about this place:
1. Director – Marina is a great person who loves kids and is highly professional. She knows all kids by their names and always has time if we want to discuss anything. Marina and Front Desk Manager Julia always welcome with a smile and are very courteous.
2. Teachers - they are incredible, loving, professional, and simply great people; I respect and take my hat off in front of these ladies who take a good care of my kids and treat them as their own, teach them so many interesting things daily (both kids bring their work home every day) and welcome them with a hug and say their good byes for a day with a warm smile asking to come back the next day. We love our teachers Liubov Lesiuk, Iryna Pilyuk, and Liubov Vovchuk!
3. The atmosphere - very friendly and fun, my kids demand to go back to the center as soon as we leave at the end of the day. My 3.7-year-old one who speaks well says that he likes to draw, dance, sing, and learn new things. When I pick him up, his eyes are always bright and he rushes to tell what he did each day.
4. The facility – this is a spacious building with tons of play spots and outside play area. Each room has a unique design and setup and all of them are bright and sunny
5. The food - this was very important for us since kids spend their entire day at the center and eat four meals there. This center focuses on balanced and nutritious meals such as soups, meat/fish, salads, lots of fruit and veggies – this is the kind of quality I would buy/prepare for my kids (take alone the Lifeway Kefir!)
6. Cleanliness – this point deserves a special attention. I have never seen a cleaner facility in the entire country taking the hospitals into consideration. This is a super clean facility!
7. Curriculum - I would never be able to teach my kids even 20% of what they are being taught in this center: music and dance classes, gymnastics, drawing, coloring, learning alphabet, colors, words, math, building social skills, and many other activities. Thank you to each member of this wonderful center! Keep up the great work!!! To anyone who is considering to take their kids to this center my advice is to not be deceived by a few negative reviews of furious mothers, but go and check this place out for yourself and your little ones. I didn’t know any person at this facility before I brought my kids and I am not friends with anyone, but I truly respect the hard and noble work each staff member of this center does. I would highly recommend it to any of my friends or relatives.

Both of my children go here, and I cannot be more thankful.
The place is very clean, the food is healthy, and their curriculum is excellent.

Teachers have big hearts, and I always drop off my kids knowing they’ll get the best care possible!
Highly recommend.

Look no further, this place is amazing. The teachers, staff, most beautiful facility, technology, state of the art playgrounds and other resources have exceeded my expectations.

We live very far from the Children's Land on Belmont Learning Center but I don't mind spending time driving there with my daughter for everything she is getting there. This is the most beautiful two-storied center you can imagine. Your child will never get so much attention, so much care and so much love anywhere else.

When my daughter started attending the center a few months ago, she was very shy, very reserved and not too social. She got involved in so many activities at the Center, that I can barely recognize my child.

The Center offers daily math, language and art/crafts classes as well as extra-curricula music and dance classes included in a very reasonable tuition.

If you are looking for the school for your child, just visit the center and you will never regret you went there.

My son has been visiting this school since April and he as well as my self we love it! The teachers Kate and Svetlana are very engaging and loving! They do projects, play and color, also music and dance lessons with that said the kids learn a lot of new stuff every single day! Me as a mother, I feel very comfortable with my child being at this school !!!

​I brought my toddler daughter to Children's Land on Belmont Learning Center almost immediately after it was open. If not for Galina, the teacher in Toddler class, I would never be able to work or leave my child anywhere. My daughter was crying non-stop for quite awhile. She refused to lay down in bed during nap time and Galina was carrying her for hours to calm her down.

My daughter decided that the rocking chair in the room was purchased for her and spent most of the day sitting there. It was a very tough beginning and I thought it was my destiny to become a stay at home mom to care for my child.

If I tell you that just a few months later I spend at least 30 minutes every evening begging my daughter to go home, would you believe me?
Would you believe me that my daughter wants to go to "school" on Saturdays and Sundays?
I used to call the Center every half an hour to find out if everything was fine there with my daughter and with the teacher who had to patiently care for her?

I have no problems now working full time and never feeling anxious to call the Center. I am confident that my child is cared by the most loving people, in the most amazing center surrounded with love, cleanliness, generosity and professionalism.

I love this place I recomment everyone to enroll your children there without wasting time for visiting other centers.
