WHAT CHICAGO PARENTS SAY ABOUT iLEARN CENTER

My 2.5 year old worked her way up to the 2s room from the infant room and my 4 month old just started in the infant room. As a new mom I really leaned on their expertise to help guide schedules, potty training, and learning solids. They really did much more than just watch my kids, they taught me as well.

We found iLearn after abruptly leaving a bad daycare situation. From the moment we walked in, everyone was so friendly, welcoming, and professional. Our son loved his teachers in the baby room and toddler room. The teachers are so loving and truly cared about our child, which made drop off and pick ups so easy. Sadly we moved and had to find another daycare. We would recommend this daycare to anyone in the area. Our son still talks about his friends and teachers and we even have one of the teachers babysit still. 10/10!

My son began here at 3 months and while the first day was hard (on mom) - the teachers in the infant room were there with warm smiles, tissues and assurances that he would be fine. Seeing how much the teachers cared for him made my transition back to work a lot easier. Every day he would kick and smile with excitement when he would get there.

Moira C.

Can't say enough wonderful things about this daycare. Our toddler has been there since she was 4 months old. She looks forward to going to school every weekday. Their staff is incredibly organized and nurturing. Perfect atmosphere to put us at ease as far as childcare goes. Hats off to the director Julia for being so communicative and running a wonderful center.

Alexandra O.

We loved iLearn so much and miss it. The teachers are so loving and caring. Our son hit his milestones so quickly because the daycare is so interactive and provides so much stimulation (yoga, music, story time, etc). It is also very clean- we were told to expect that he would get sick often in daycare, but he didn't get sick once at iLearn.
