My 8 yr old son has gone to the "lab" for a few things and had fun and learned a bit. My 3 year old just did her first Mad Science workshop. It was called Mini Mad Scientists. I don't know how, but the entertained and controlled 15 kids under the age of 5 for 3 hours. I got my grocery shopping done and she learned lots. Definitely worth it.

Okay I have to share this gem of a play space we found in Logan Square…read more It's a small, locally-owned spot and you can feel the care in every detail the second you walk in. The whole space is beautifully done--like truly thoughtfully designed, not just thrown together. The colors, the textures, the little house setups... everything just works. What I loved most though is how culturally rooted it feels without being overdone. The play food, the kitchen setup, the art on the walls--it all reflects a Latino-owned space in a way that feels natural, warm, and intentional. It actually made the whole environment feel more alive and meaningful. It's also just... calm. Which, if you have kids, you know is rare I could actually sit, breathe, watch them play, even get a little work done without feeling overstimulated. It's such a good alternative if you're trying to avoid the chaos of the bigger play places. There's a sweet little baby area, a building station, and the cutest play houses that my kids were completely locked into. I really, really hope this place sticks around because spaces like this matter. You can tell it was built with heart.

Luna y Cielo is a nice space. I've been curious about it for months but haven't been able to get…read morehere. It's one of the larger play cafes I've been to in the city--perhaps the only one that's bigger is in part because it's a co-working space. But Luna y Cielo has more play stations than that place. There's a couple play kitchens, various stations and tables for kids to play at or things to play with. There is an infant section in the front of the store that is for the littlest ones, aged 0-11 months. There's a nice library that holds books in both English and Spanish, in accordance with their business model. And they have a really nice, solid, incredibly well built little house for kids play in, with a little cot and some clothing for children to play with, as well as a small slide attached. I like that the house is built directly into the walls and of the building because that makes it sturdy and strong enough for parents to climb in after their littles if need be. There's a party room in the back, and they do rent the space out for parties. You have to take your shoes off upon entering so that the place can remain clean but you also need to bring socks, though they have socks here for purchase if you forget. There are a couple of bathrooms and also a couple changing stations outside the bathroom as well. If there might be improvements made, it could potentially be useful to have a quiet room in case some kiddos need to take a break from the play. I also wouldn't mind there being some places for caregivers to sit; they have a long bench along one side of the room, but some of it was covered with pillows which I felt bad removing and also it was not super duper comfy. I came for their Halloween party, so the price was different than the everyday price but I remember glancing at their rates and it wasn't bad, not out of line with other play places in the area. I do remember that siblings under six months can come for free. There is parking along Armitage on this stretch and though we were here on Halloween, I don't think it impacted the parking all that much--there was plenty, which I have been worried about when I've considered going. They have classes, programs, and other special activities so it is certainly worth following their instagram to keep informed about what's going on. I love that they have mommy and me Spanish classes; I really want to join these but I work during the Wednesday time and have a standing appointment during the Saturday time. But I love that they are here as a resource for families that are already bilingual and those that want to be. The place has had some struggles, and it doesn't help during the warm months I don't think when there are so many places to go and things to do. They have some snacks for purchase, and drinks as well. If you care for little ones, I'd suggest giving Luna y Cielo a visit and I believe they have memberships/packages/gift certificates, too.

The staff treat all the kids and parents like family. They strive to provide a solid fundamental education (including homework help afterschool) as well as fun activities through out the year.

My DD is always excited when there is no "school" and she gets to spend the full day at Sunnyside! You should absolutely check them out if you're in search of a wonderful daycare!

I totally DO NOT RECOMMEND this place! I am international student with B2 level, and I leave this…read moreschool because: 1) The level of education is very low, teacher (60-70 years old man) is unprofessional. He always laughs at their student (it was the highest level in this school) and teaches all time how to write essay in his own method! Minimal grammar, listening, speaking and pronunciation! Only writting the essay. 2) 99% student in this school have F1 visa and they come not for the knowledge, but to obtain visa, also they have very very low English skills. Management also happy that these students won't complain and when I said that GT education can't help me in English they became very angry and aggressive. 3) Management is rude and they do not care about your problems, and especially about your progress! 4) In the beginning, I was in 600 group, that is for students with good English, but on the first lesson I understood that nobody could speak! Nobody! The students didn't understand my English because it was very complicated for them. I asked Daisy to change the group, at least with those who can and able to speak at my level and she refused! Then I insisted to refund my money and guess what! They found a place for me in higher level group. Magic! 5) My last drop was the accident when teacher in the hardest group was laughing at me! Of course, GT education do not refund my money! 6) This place is located on the -1 level without windows and any ventilation! All in all, it's the worst educational school that I ever seen! Don't waste your time and money on that place for F1 holders, they can't teach you anything

Over all is good, but amount of time they advertise and real time of studying is far difference…read more For example, the schedule time shows 4 pm- 10 pm--6 hrs/day-- 3 days a week --10 weeks/ course = 180 hrs you pay around $1,500 It seems like a fair price. In reality, none of classes keep that schedule time. Teachers start class quite late and finish class around 8:20 pm Studying 6 hrs a day it is too much, I agree. But why they don't set up only 4 hrs/day and make course to be 12 weeks in order to get 180 hrs as they advertise. (I mean GT at N Nashville Ave location) I feel, it is not the right way...kind of dishonest!!! Beside of this, the teachers have good skills of teaching and staffs are friendly.
