We were transferring from our Lincoln Park daycare and found it to be a very smooth transition. The teachers have been very nurturing and my two year old is genuinely happy walking into school each day to see her teachers and friends. They offer great programming, ample outside time and lots of arts and crafts. My infant just started and I feel very comfortable entrusting her care to the wonderful teachers here. It's a big decision finding the right fit for full day childcare and I am very happy our family found ALC #4.

Our child just completed their third and final year at Montessori Children's Community, finishing…read morewith the Kindergarten program -- and what an incredible journey it has been. Today, I watched with immense pride as my 5-year-old stood in front of a room full of parents, children, and teachers to deliver a confident, three-minute presentation on "Castles" -- a topic they researched, wrote about, and presented entirely on their own. This moment perfectly captured the kind of growth MCC fosters -- not just academically, but socially and emotionally. Under the steady guidance of Ms. Rocio and the dedicated MCC team, our child has transformed from a shy, curious preschooler into a self-assured, articulate learner. MCC adheres closely to the Montessori method, and while the environment of independent exploration may take a little adjustment at first, the results are extraordinary. Over time, the children develop deep concentration, intrinsic motivation, and a love of learning. I've seen my child confidently use words like ruminate, tenacious, and paroxysm in writing and conversation. They've explored the life cycle of a moth, practiced addition and multiplication, and developed a genuine enthusiasm for knowledge. Beyond academics, MCC creates a nurturing and joyful community. From field trips and holiday celebrations to visits from local business leaders and sweet traditions like sending postcards to grandparents, the school experience is rich, well-rounded, and deeply personal. The bonds between the students are strong -- they support each other like siblings, and that emotional intelligence translates into real-world confidence. This also extends among the MCC families as well! (Shout out to the PTO and the MNO/DNO activities!) If you're seeking a school that invests deeply in your child's development -- academically, socially, and emotionally -- and a place where your family can plant lasting roots, look no further. Montessori Children's Community is a place where children truly flourish in ways you can't even imagine.

We would not be able to pursue our professional callings while also fulfilling our high standards for family life and child upbringing if we did not have such a trusted support system and partner in place. We not only see MCC as partners in raising our children (they are a great force for instilling positive behaviors and perspectives and growing the individual), but we also learn so much from Ms. Rocio and her staff. They have opened our eyes to a great way to co-exist with children that gives them the guidance they require but in a way that is peaceful, enjoyable, and just plain sensible. We especially value MCC's Parent Education Nights and Parent-Teacher Conferences, which give us new insight every time. The kids have pretty much always been happy to be dropped off at school, which is pretty amazing, and they are growing into amazing little humans. Moreover, MCC's community is larger than the classroom--we love that we really know and spend time with the other families and even teachers; when the kids are brought to school, it feels more like they are off to spend time with their loving extended family, a comforting effect for both us and them.

There was great structure to his days, lots of outside play time, and a lot of laughter whenever I arrived to get him. I'm pretty surprised by that 1 star review, and in my experience, the discipline, diet, and teaching were all great and in compliance with Montessori theory.

The new principal who started this year also is fantastic. If you're considering Catholic schools in the area, SFX is a top choice. I'd encourage anyone who's interested in learning more about SFX to talk to current parents (rather than relying on some of the old reviews here) and reach out to the school for information and a tour.

I personally attended SFX and now have the privilege of sending my children there as well. It is apparent that the teachers and staff care about the families beyond academics.

With such amazing schools in the area it is very competitive academically with a bonus of Catholic teachings.
