Children's Lighthouse of Chicago - North Center Chicago - Chicago, Illinois

My two-year-old son loves going to school here! He started in November 2024 and would cry every time I dropped him off. They’ve been so good to him, have taught him so much, and continue to nurture, love, and care for my boy every single day that he no longer cries. 🥹 In fact, he runs off to play with his classmates or is ready to start eating a snack. As a parent, you can’t ask for anything more. Knowing your child is safe and loved is everything. ♥️

HOWEVER, to brag a little more about them: the facility is clean, the other teachers and staff are wonderful, and the directors are informative. They provide weekly newsletters and send home lots of work that the children do during curriculum time. 📑 I love their posts using an app that makes it easy to stay updated throughout the day. Other teachers who have seen your child or take care of siblings or family members even care for your child! 🫶🏼 It’s just an absolutely wonderful place to send your child(ren). I would highly recommend this daycare facility!

My 7 month old daughter loves going to Lighthouse and we could not be happier with our experience thus far. The staff are beyond nice and attentive. I look forward to seeing our daughter grow with her classmates at Lighthouse!

Our experience with CLH was wonderful! From the second we met the remarkable and talented Kelsie until our last day, our family was treated with respect and kindness. Our 5 yo daughter still talks about her friends and teachers months after leaving and asks to go back for a visit. We were incredibly lucky to find Davora and co. at a time in our lives when we needed security and comfort.

CLH is clean, welcoming and has a big, open space where the kids can breathe. Other schools we looked at were cramped and crowded. The gym was our daughter’s favorite part of the day but she also looked forward to the backyard playground or walks to the park.

Our family met some lifelong friends and we hope to stay in touch with the lovely staff at CLH for years to come.

I can’t say enough great things about the staff at Children’s Lighthouse. We moved to their daycare after an unpleasant experience at a previous center and they were amazing right off the bat. Our child began enjoying school more and more each day. They’ve been very understanding and easy to work with through some transitions and continue to offer amazing support for our child and all the children at the center.

We started our son at Children's Lighthouse at 3 months old (now almost 5mo) and they have been so great to us and our baby. Valerie, Lilly and Jenny (and everyone who has helped out) in room 1 have seriously been amazing for this transition for me going back to work and making us feel comfortable leaving him with them. I always know they're in good hands and I love getting the updates through the app on how his day is going plus the pictures! It's also been super easy to get in contact with them when or if I need and they are always accommodating to his needs. We almost sent him to a different place until I visited here and instantly felt more comfortable and now I've never been happier that with the decision!

Our daughter started in the 2 year old room a month ago and we have been extremely happy our experience thus far! She is excited to go to 'school' everyday and her vocabulary has vastly improved in this short time. The teachers are very kind and communicative. We love the Procare app they use which keeps us informed of all our daughter's activities throughout the day including meals and nap time. The children are very engaged throughout the day, both mentally and physically. Their days consist of gym time, water time outside (weather permitting), 'writing' activities and fun extras like music, soccer, and yoga classes. We are very happy with our choice to send our daughter to Children's Lighthouse!

Really have enjoyed my experience so far! The teachers and staff always seem in a good mood and attentive to the kids. I told them that my child needed a smaller nap and they were able to accommodate very quickly with no pushback. They always have weekly and monthly activities based on holidays, etc going on in the city.

All of the staff is 10/10 excellent and professional and super helpful when it came to my first child. I always felt safe leaving my child there during the week. The communication was good and easy with the Procare app they use so I get constant updates about when my child is napping, awake, eating, soiling their diaper.
