From day one, CLP Logan Square has felt like a second home. The care, consistency, and community have made parenting in the city so much easier. The staff is incredible. Every teacher and team member has shown our kids so much love, patience, and support. It gave us real peace of mind to know our children were not only safe but also thriving. They made friends, learned through play and structured activities, and participated in engaging specials like Spanish, music, and yoga. We also loved the occasional field trips that brought learning to life. The value is outstanding. Tuition is reasonable and includes meals, snacks, diapers, and formula. When we were expecting our first and touring multiple centers, this all-inclusive model made CLP the clear choice. It removed so much of the daily logistics and let us focus on just being parents. The extras really added up too. The Parent's Night Out program gave us time to recharge, and we appreciated being able to hire CLP staff for babysitting. It was comforting to have a network of familiar faces who knew our kids well and cared for them deeply. After a full decade with CLP, we are so grateful. This community has played a meaningful role in our family's story, and we can't recommend it highly enough.

This is our second child, and our older son had gone to two different daycares, so we knew exactly what we were looking for when we toured Newport. My daughter is learning all sorts of things, but more importantly to us, she's making friends, learning how to resolve conflict, learning to take turns and share, and we're confident she'll be set up for success in kindergarten. She looks forward to school each day. When she was younger, she went through some health issues that required some extra steps in caring for her. Newport was absolutely lovely during this difficult time. The teachers, staff, and in particular John the owner worked with us so that she could still attend school. We've become part of the community, doing play dates with her school friends outside of school, meeting other parents and families. Her teachers know her, and we can always talk to them about challenging "growing up" things like potty training and nap transitions, and I feel like we tackle them together. There may be wait lists...but honestly that's the situation with daycares in the city. It's definitely worth adding Newport to the list of daycares to tour and consider!

The group size is smaller than at our previous school and pretty relaxed atmosphere.

I especially love the covered playground which will be great across seasons. I felt like my kids were loved by the staff, even teachers they never had before! Over the years there have been periods of high turnover for support staff but I was always impressed by the tenure of all of my kids' lead teachers, and it was wonderful to have the same teacher across both kids. The curriculum did a fantastic job of preparing my kid for Kindergarten too. It is expensive, but pretty in line with other daycares I've researched. Plus brand new facilities and great programs like music, yoga, and Spanish class, and freshly prepared meals. Would recommend them!

Our child attended this daycare earlier this year. My wife and I had high expectations after the…read moreinitial visit due to the conversations we had with the supporting staff that gave the tour of the facility. After our child who was two at the time started attending, we started receiving negative feedback from the instructor to the point of that an ASQ was assessed on our child, which the instructor did not adequately complete or comprehend the work provided by the instructor, and suggested that they would need early intervention and behavioral help. My wife and I took our child to get an professional assessment which our child passed with flying colors and we were told by the evaluator that they did not understand why the instructor would suggest what she did on the ASQ (which the instructor wasn't certified to make that assumption per DCFS). We pulled our child out of Kids Work and placed them into a Montessori which the teachers stated that our child has excelled in the areas of reading, mathematical and social comprehension. Our child is also working with the older students on activities and assignments and is a social butterfly that communicates well beyond her age. I will not discredit the entire staff but the main instructor in the Lincoln classroom was the main concern and should be addressed including one of the administrative assistants who disregarded all of our concerns.

While the pandemic…read morehas made childcare much more difficult, the administration and staff at Concordia has been up to the challenge. Our first child has been at the school since they turned 13 months old (now 4 years old) and our second since infancy (now two). We've loved all of the teachers that our kids have had and appreciate the continuity (teacher turn over is very low compared to most centers). The kids stay active throughout the day and they have access to different outdoor playgrounds (different play lots for the younger versus older kiddos). There is also an annex room that can be used for indoor play during the colder months. The teachers set up the most wonderful art projects - I'm always amazed at their creativity and energy! The communication has been great with the teachers - we had trouble with our eldest napping at school but we worked with the teachers to try a few strategies we use at home and significantly improved the number of nap days (which makes for a nicer kid at the end of the day). The front staff is great as well - everyone is welcoming and will get to know your kiddo by name. The school has clear COVID-19 protocols (which I like) - they follow Illinois Department of Public Health (IDPH) and CDC guidelines. If they didn't follow IDPH guidelines they could risk losing their license. The school is also very diverse and does a lot to support the community. I whole heartedly recommend Concordia - this recommendation comes from a parent of two children who attend, a person who worked at a private daycare for seven years, and a graduate of an elementary education program. I know I am sending my kids to a warm, supportive, structured and fun environment.
