Nook Bucktown #2 Childcare & Preschool - Chicago, Illinois

The Nook 2 community has been a pivotal part of our parenthood journey and I couldn't be more grateful. The teachers at Nook are truly one-of-a-kind. Our daughter went to Nook starting at 3 months old all the way through 3 years old. You can imagine how nervous I was as a first time mom sending my 3 month old to daycare but I can confidently say her teachers were the reason we were so confident in her care. From there, every teacher she, and our son, had throughout their time at the Nook was outstanding. While we have transitioned out of Nook Two, we are excited for the new leadership to continue to success of the precious Nook community. I would recommend Nook 2 to anyone considering this daycare in the neighborhood.

Feedback for overseeing administration - Give the directors and teachers as much support as you can. Listen to the feedback given by parents. Communicate proactively with parents on the waitlist. Communicate accountability with the teachers. Work to keep and value tenured teachers as hard as you can because without the incredible work of the teachers, you lose the heart and soul of the Nook 2 community.

We have absolutely loved our time at Nook 2. The activities for the infants were so smart, fun and enjoyable for them - our son enjoyed the activities and the teachers so much. The teachers really put their hearts into taking care of the kids.

Our daughter attended Nook 2 daycare for almost 3 years. We are so grateful for the amazing educators who were a pivotable part of her development, including Ms. Kat, Ms. Monica, Ms. Andrea, Ms. Precious, Ms. Dulce, and Ms. Chrissy. Thank you for everything you do!

We love Nook 2! Miss Montse and Miss Sheila have been such an integral part of my daughter’s time at the Nook. She started at 5 months and has loved going to school - the teachers take such amazing care of the kiddos and I am so lucky to have people like Miss Montse and Miss Sheila ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

We loved sending our daughter to nook2, she was there from 17 months- 3 years old until she transitioned to the preschool! The teachers and staff are all so kind and wonderful to the kids and families, we are so thankful to them all for teaching our little one so many things! We absolutely adore Miss Precious and were so lucky to have her be our daughter’s teacher for almost her entire stay at the nook2! I would recommend nook2 to any parents looking for daycare in the area, we are so sad to have graduated!

Our daughter went to the Nook for a year between ages 1 and 2. After everyone acclimated (we had moved across the country), we have nothing but good things to say about the facility. The teachers are all loving and affectionate. We didn't have much turnover in staff/teachers during our year there. We did look around a bit for a different center that was more affordable, but we stayed until we moved away because no other option seemed as polished as the Nook.

I would recommend this daycare to anyone who needs full- or part-time care. Our only regret is that we don't see how anything else will compare to our experience here.

We had our daughter at the nook2 from 3 to 22 months (and only pulled her because we moved). That said, we kept her there for a month after we moved to help with the transition because she was so comfortable there. The bottom line is that the teachers make the experience and the teachers at the nook2 were fantastic. Our daughter thrived there under the excellent care and tutelage of teachers like Ms. Kristina (who's amazing). Definitely recommend.

Marco started at The Nook 2 in Infant 1 when he was just 4 months old, and it's truly been a great for his development. I couldn't be more thrilled with our decision. Every teacher has been fantastic, and Marco gets very excited when he arrives at daycare. We appreciate that they're open to suggestions, and we enjoy the lesson plans, activities and the menu they're currently offering. Bryanna and Alicia have been absolute gems, always keeping us informed about Marco’s day. We couldn't be happier with The Nook 2.
