This daycare is one of the most reliable ones I have ever dealt with. From my initial email to check the daycare out, they have been very prompt and professional. They followed up with me when they had an opening and their communication is seamless, which makes me feel so satisfied especially knowing this is about my kid. My toddler(18 month old) struggled at first due to separation anxiety but they were very patient with him. I love how stuctured their days are, which also involves outside play. My toddler learned to count and sing ABCs from weeks of going to this daycare. The teachers are amazing and nice and they really teach early child development. As a parent, I saw my toddler breeze through some developmental phases because of their activities. Shout out to amazing staff: Samantha, who toured and followed through all my paperwork; office staff Katie and Olivia for always being pleasant and helpful; and most of all, the teachers of Bunny room who have neverending patience, smiles, and energy. Unfortunately, we had to take my toddler out due to me needing more childcare for my older child and me going back to work and school. But if I were to put back my toddler in the daycare system, there will be no question that Tiny Giants is who I will only trust. read more

Tiny Giants is a fantastic daycare! We couldn't be happier sending our child here day in and out.

We have been exceptionally happy with Tiny Giants North Center, located at 3911 N. Western Ave. in Chicago. Our son began as an infant in the Butterfly room, then transitioned to the Owl room as he became a toddler, and now is in the Tiger room as pre-school. The Director Ms. Sandy, and all of the teachers and staff are truly excellent: they teach with a full curriculum of activities and knowledge. Our son has learned numbers, the alphabet, planets and solar system, the lifecycle of a frog, the lifecycle of a butterfly, dental health, different professions like firefighters, doctors, and so many things! The teachers and staff are all kind, caring, extremely professional, and communicate very well. We receive constant updates of the art projects, classroom activities, and every detail of the day. They share with us exactly what they eat for each meal and snack, when they use the bathroom, and any special items that occur, like kids bringing in cupcakes for birthdays. They use the Tadpoles app to post many downloadable pictures and videos each day, so we are always in touch and aware of our child's feelings and activities. We've taken field trips to museums, the zoo, a local firehouse, and various play areas! Each day there are activities, art projects, and a full update of videos and pictures from the day. There are also special family events, such as a block party, family picnic, grandparents day, lizard show visits, and activities for holidays. One of our son's favorite activities is Music Class with Mr. Ray, it is the highlight of each week! Mr. Ray spends time in all of the classrooms, brings in rhythm sticks and instruments, and teaches songs and dances according to the week's theme. He is very talented and great with children, and they all love his visits. We've also seen Mr. Ray at special events they host, such as a summer block party and winter cabin fever events. He really is excellent and so talented! Tiny Giants and all of the staff are highly recommended! read more

I have nothing but love for Tiny Giants on Western. My LO was scheduled to start there as soon as my maternity leave was ending but Covid happened, so he started a few months later (June 2020). Since day one at the center, we have always felt welcome and that our LO was in great hands and safe. Staff in all rooms were excellent, but most recently we all loved Ms Olga. Tiny Giants handled covid as well as any daycare center could have over the past couple years, and we had no issues with their policies. Thank you Tiny Giants for caring for our LO over the last couple years. read more

We LOVE Tiny Giants! While no one will take care of your kids exactly the way you do, Tiny Giants sure comes close! Our son started at four months and has very happily made his way through the infant, toddler and pre-school rooms. He was truly loved and nurtured throughout his entire time there. Communication is open and the teachers work with you with any questions or suggestions you have - low turnover they truly care about the children. When COVID hit, they went above and beyond. While the center was closed, we had zoom calls with our classrooms, teachers read books, sang songs, posted activities to do, and my sons favorite - our weekly music class with Mr. Ray still virtually happened! Prior to re-opening (and still), they were so transparent and made sure everyone felt comfortable (they held a 2+ hour call with all families to discuss what was happening, procedures, protocol, a lengthy Q&A session, etc.). Our other friends at different daycares always looked to us to see what was happening with our son at Tiny Giants as the gold standard. We recently moved to the suburbs and the hardest thing was leaving our family at Tiny Giants. We wish we could have taken them with us! While looking for childcare in the burbs, we compared everything against Tiny Giants standards and honestly couldn't find another daycare that offered everything that they did. Our son's new teachers are so impressed with everything he has learned and even mentioned that he's coming in way ahead of other kids his age! Bonus - Tiny Giants teaches the kids through fun activities and they have fun doing it! Ultimately, with no hesitation, I would recommend this school to anyone that is looking for top notch quality care! We love and miss you Tiny Giants! read more

We luckily landed on Tiny Giants in July/August of 2020 after my wife and I both decided we could no longer commute to our old daycare which was closer to where we both worked. We were at first nervous about dropping of our 2 kids at Tiny Giants without all of the tours we used to do...however, Ms Esther and all of the staff have made this such a tremendous home of our kids. Our kids have loved every minute of it and we'll be sad when we have to move on. The staff has been excellent during these challenging times but our kids have benefited so much from being part of the Tiny Giants Family and we are happy to recommend them to anyone. read more

We have loved Tiny Giants North Center for the past 4 years! The teachers are loving, enthusiastic and reliable, our kids are well-cared for and stimulated, and the administration/leadership has always been communicative and responsive to changing needs (through a global pandemic, no less!) read more

We switched to Tiny Giants after a less-than-superb experience during a transition period after 3 of 4 teachers quit within two weeks of one another at our last daycare. Looking back, while the aforementioned daycare was pretty good prior to the exodus, through a month at Tiny Giants, the experience has been nothing short of extraordinary. The biggest thing for me is the amazing communication we get from Tiny Giants. We get regular updates throughout the day about her naps and her feeds (as opposed to having to wait until pickup at the last place in order to see how her day was), as well as photos of her interacting with teachers and other "classmates," and doing meaningful activities to help with her development. For comparison, while our last daycare sent photos, it was often only two sets with 2-4 pictures, usually of just her sitting in her boppy. Additionally, Esther, the director, seems to take a real interest in getting to know the kids and the families, and her door is always open to chat. Since starting at Tiny Giants, my wife and I have noticed a tremendous growth in our daughter's social interactions, her mood, and her overall development. We honestly couldn't be any happier. read more

We had both of our children attend Tiny Giants. Our first one started in Spring of 2016 in Tiger Room, and our second one started shortly thereafter in the Butterfly Room. Both stayed all the way through to graduation from Dolphin Room, with our youngest graduating this past summer. We are so happy that our children went to Tiny Giants. Ms Farah, Ms Esther, and all of the wonderful teachers are communicative, nurturing, and personal. We felt very confident in leaving our children in their care. The classrooms are welcoming, the outdoor play area is perfect for running around and kicking the ball, and the food/snacks work for all kinds of picky eaters. In addition, have a curriculum that inspired our children to learn. Each week is a new theme where the teachers read different stories, initiate relevant discussions, and the children do artwork & activities related to that theme. Our children graduated from Tiny Giants with the ability to write, draw, say the alphabet, count, recite the butterfly life cycle, among other things. But, they also left Tiny Giants as good people - they understand how to be a good friend, how to respect boundaries, and how to be empathetic. We are grateful for the time and energy they put into our family. If you're lucky enough to have your children attend Tiny Giants, you won't be disappointed. read more

I have been working for this company for over a year! The environment here is great! All the teachers and tamiles are super friendly! read more

We love Tiny Giants! My son has started at 11 weeks old (very difficult for a mama), but seeing how much the teachers and director cared for him made it much easier of a transition. I love checking the Tadpoles app to see his feedings, diaper changes, activities, and photos/videos! Now that he is on solid foods, its amazing how they provide freshly made, organic foods. The place is clean, organized, and well run. It helps me get through the work day knowing he is in great hands. The staff will ask questions to ensure things are similar at home and not something he only does with them. They are always kind and happy to see you. Its the many little things they do that we are very fortunate for! read more

Tiny giants isn't just a daycare, it's an extension of your care team. We brought our first child here when he was 4 months. The thought of leaving our helpless little potato that we love so much was terrifying but form the moment I first talked to Ms. Esther, the Director, we knew it was going to be ok. The whole care team there was so focused on our child and genuinely cared about him. It is safe, clean, and loving. Ms. Ana in the butterfly room was his favorite! They take the children outside and share pictures and updates through an app so you always know what's going on. Unfortunately we relocated when he was 10 months old and I was more sad about leaving Tiny Giants than any other part of leaving Chicago. Our child cried his first day at his new school and never once cried during drop off when we left him at Tiny Giants. We knew he was always well taken care of and loved when there. No matter what caregiver you chose, there are going to be issues that come up and the team there worked through those issues with constant open communication and always said that "parents know best". We miss them so much and wish every daycare gave the love and attention to everyone's littles like Tiny Giants does! read more

Wonderful daycare with kind, caring staff and responsive management. It's not an easy time to be a daycare, but I have been so pleased with the quality of care my children have received at Tiny Giants. read more

Although I might sound biased. Tiny Giants is a very friendly atmosphere everyday with children and parents having a good relationship with one another only caring about a child's well being and ensuring to also create fun events for the families to meet up during covid in the safest way possible. I started working here only about 3 months ago and enjoy it with the support we have not only for fellow teachers but also support towards the parents. read more

We started our daughter at Tiny Giants when we moved to Chicago about 6 months ago and we couldn't be happier with our experience! Ms. Esther, the director, is extremely friendly and helpful and has excellent communication. She keeps us up to date on everything going on, sending reminders for important events and always willing to help answer any questions we have. The teachers in the Owl Room are great -- Ms. Carmen, Ms. Karen, and Ms. Daisy are all very attentive and take the time to truly get to know each and every kid and their needs. They have great structure and routines in the classroom that really help the kids grow and learn in a happy and safe environment. They put a lot of time and effort into everything they do, including different activities each day, music time with Mr. Ray, monthly field trips, and family parties. We are so thankful for everything and everyone at Tiny Giants and would recommend them to anyone looking for childcare in the Chicago area! read more

As parents, we are so grateful to have found Tiny Giants. Our first child has progressed through all 4 classrooms, and our second is now starting. Our children come home well fed, well rested from consistent nap schedules, and appropriately tired out from a carefully planned mix of activities. There is an on-site outdoor playground and also tricycles, and the older children work out some energy through creative things like a block and hula hoop obstacle course. They dance to songs, have reading time, and do lots of artwork. There are puzzles and blocks, dolls and dress up costumes, sometimes water play or sensory bins. The music teacher comes once per week and it's the highlight of the week. The children just love him. The infant room has always been very supportive of nursing moms, never wasting milk, and even sanitizes the bottles at school so it's less dishwashing for me. The toddler teachers (and probably also peer example) really helped our older child with potty training. Our children have certainly gotten sick, as all children do. However, it seems they get sick way less often than many other children I know in daycare, so I take this to mean Tiny Giants is very good about keeping everything clean. Overall, I know I can trust the teachers and director. They look me in the eye, tell me how my kids are doing, and never hesitate to bring up any concerns. My kids are meeting all their milestones, no doubt largely because Tiny Giants ensures their curriculum touches on all the skills developing children need. We love Tiny Giants! read more

Tiny Giants is such a great place. Our daughter loves going every day. They take such good care of the children and help them learn a lot. They also make sure they are active all day and never are in front of a television. Our daughter comes home with lots of artwork and thoughtful gifts on holidays and her birthday. It is a little pricey, but at this point it is very worth it. We love the teachers in the butterfly room and have heard great things about all the other teachers. I suggest anyone looking for day care to go soon as I am sure they are already on a wait list. read more

We moved our then 15 month-old to Tiny Giants after an unpleasant experience at another daycare facility. Our son, now two, has grown and thrived at TG more than we could have imagined. The teachers and administration are caring and attentive. They truly pay attention to each individual child - even the teachers in other rooms know all the kids by name. Our son's day is structured and active (which he needs!), with a perfect balance of play and curriculum. The food is diverse and healthy. TG is really like school (always age appropriate), where so many daycares feel more like babysitting. We love Tiny Giants and wish we had found them sooner. read more

We ADORE everything regarding Tiny Giants. I have 3 children here and they all have a great time so it's not just the kid or the classroom. They used to be home with a nanny and it's just a world of difference how much they've learned and how happy they are. The staff is just fantastic, from the administrative staff, who are just very concerned about making sure they provide the most support they can to the teachers who are amazing, caring, committed. The place itself is just really nice, and they just added an outdoor area, which is the icing on the cake. I really can't think of anything wrong with this place! read more
