Life Long Learners Child Development Center Inc. - Downers Grove, Illinois

If you are looking for a daycare for your little look no further. I was looking for a daycare for my son and was having a very hard time finding a special place that I could trust. A family friend recommended Life Long Learners and I am extremely grateful for it. My son started at the Life Long Learners 212 class 2 days a week and then had an opportunity to go 5 days a week at Life Long Learners Child Development Center. I was so nervous to trust others to care for my son and hearing why Chelle opened the location and her experience gave me some ease in choosing them.

The teachers were absolutely amazing with my son Manny- big shout out to Ms. Bri, Ms. Theresa, Ms. Angelica, Ms. Caraline, Ms Jackie, Ms Makayla, and Ms Alaina as well as Ms. Chelle!

He had a hard time transitioning to the class, but they gave him extra support and found tools and exercises that would assist him with his regulation. My son had early intervention services, which they gladly welcomed in the center to support Manny. This was especially helpful because, as a single mom, trying to schedule multiple appointments a week outside of work was challenging. They worked with each therapist and asked for suggestions and ways they could best support Manny. Ms. Bri was his teacher for the first year or so, and she is the sweetest, most kind, helpful, caring, patient, creative, and passionate teacher! I was so grateful that he had her as a teacher. She will always have a special place in Manny and my heart. Manny finished his time at Ms. Theresa's classroom and he absolutely loved her classroom. Ms. Theresa went above and beyond with giving me support and suggestions on potty training. She is also another caring, supportive, patient, creative, and fun teacher.

I was so sad that my son had to move daycares inorder to receive support from the school district I lived in. Each of the teachers helped with the transition, was willing to talk to his new daycare provider, and provide any support they could.

I cannot begin to express my gratitude to all the Lifelong Learners staff. They helped me see the importance of having my son attend daycare, create relationships with other supportive adults, and become a better mom.

Our daughters have attended here for a year, and we couldn't be happier about LLL. The staff are friendly, helpful, and loved by all the kids. They have a wide range of activities/lessons and are helping our kids develop. I like that the classrooms mingle so the kids get socialized with different ages. And the daily information and pictures LLL provides is excellent.

My son has gone to Life Long Learners since he was 12 weeks old. He is now 3 years old and his baby sister will be joining him there in a couple months. We love all the teachers and feel so happy to know our kids are in great hands while we are at work. They care for the children like their own and provide such a wonderful learning environment. My son has learned so much from being encouraged to explore the world around him. They have great lesson plans daily that allow the kids to learn through play and arts and crafts. I love that they try to get the kids outside everyday even as babies. All of the kids are so well mannered and kind to each other too. You can tell the teachers do a great job at encouraging them to help others and be accepting of others.

They also use an app that is updated throughout the day. As a first time mom, it was so reassuring getting the updates on my son’s sleep, diaper changes and bottles. They also sent so many pictures of what he was up to all day and still do.

Our 2 year old attends daycare here full time and we are thrilled with her care. Her teachers are warm, loving, and plan fantastic activities for the children. She has learned so much there and loves going to school every single day. As parents, we get frequent updates through photos and messages, which is nice. The school feels like a little community, as all the teachers are involved in care. There has been very little turnover of staff, so our child receives consistent care. Ms. Bri and Ms. Angelica are the best!♥

Life Long Learners is an amazing daycare center/preschool. The teachers are incredibly caring and supportive. They have helped my daughters grow so much socially, emotionally, in their play, and learning new things. I love their play-based approach to learning. They are also incredibly inclusive and work hard to meet the needs of all children. I cherish the daily pictures and updates I receive. Chelle, the director, is responsive and works hard to keep amazing staff. I cannot say enough great things!

We love Life Long Learners! The teachers are so kind and nurturing. Our toddler absolutely adores Miss Bri and Miss Angelica and our infant always eagerly jumps into the arms of Miss Ruwa. We have seen our toddler grow both socially and emotionally since starting. We love the play-based approach to learning. The brightwheel app allows us to receive pictures and updates throughout the day. They supply a variety of nutritious meals which is a huge plus. We feel so safe with our children under the care of the friendly staff at LLL. I can’t say enough good things.

We are so thrilled to have found LLL CDC. As a new parent finding child care we could trust is a huge task. Since our little one started at CDC, we felt so at ease. Miss Caraline has taken amazing care of our child and it is clear she takes great pride in what she does. We love that classroom sizes are smaller to allow each child to get the attention they need. The family environment they create is unmatched and we are so happy to be a part of this community. Thank you all for everything you do!

We are HUGE fans of LLL. My daughter (now almost 6!) started at LLL when she was just 3 months old. My daughter was well prepared for kindergarten under the care of her amazing teachers, especially Ms. Theresa. My very shy now 3 year old son started with Ms. Bri when he was 2 and became SO attached to her. Without her the transition from home to school would have been much more difficult. He now has Ms. Theresa and is just as obsessed! We’ve seen SO much growth both socially and academically since starting at LLL. Both of my children absolutely adore Ms. Theresa. The entire team is wonderful. You will not be disappointed with the incredible care that your child will receive. They will be supported, heard, encouraged, and loved.
