Tender Learning Care - Chicago, Illinois

I have a 3 1/2 year old and twin 10 month old kids. My oldest started here when she was just over a year old and the babies have been going here since they were 3 months old. The staff at TLC are like family to us. They are genuinely invested in the kids and community, are so professional and experts in early childhood care, and truly love children. Laura has run this daycare for many years. She has all of the best toys, books, songs and activities for all ages. Her staff Ms. Jojo, Ms. Sammi, and Ms. Claudia are also awesome and fill the daycare with love, joy, and guidance. I really trust everyone there with helping us raise our children. My oldest is thriving at preschool now and is well prepared. Staff are also so understanding and flexible. They go above and beyond and the community of families is so supportive. They send pictures and updates every day as well. This spot is a gem!

Our family loves TLC!! Laura and Claudia have become family to us, and our son adores them. They are both so gifted with years of experience as parents and caretakers, and seeing all of the kids learn and grow is just amazing. These kids are learning so much more than colors, numbers, and shapes -- Laura and Claudia are teaching them empathy, curiosity, autonomy, and kindness by their incredible example. We can't recommend them highly enough.

This is the most wonderful in-home daycare! We left a big box place which always felt chaotic and found Ms. Laura. Ms. Laura (owner), Ms. Claudia and Ms. Sammy are all beyond incredible. They give so much love and care to all the kids. The children get lots of play inside and outside, but also have time to learn pre-school type activities. We recently moved and were so sad to leave Ms. Laura’s. But we know we can come back anytime to say hi!
