Once I met the CEO/Owner Ms. Tiwana, My daughter teachers Ms. Tequila and Ms. Carrie, as well as the additional staff, I felt right at home. My daughter instantly fell in love with not only the staff, I could tell by her physical response, she was comfortable in the environment. Since being apart of this wonderful establishment, my daughter's developmental abilities have improved tremendously from physically, verbally, socially and even emotionally. If you're considering enrolling your child, please don't second guess. It's absolutely worth it! Thanks for everything Little People Learning Center!

The kids at Loop Learning Center were very active and filled with energy. A lot of kids had a…read moredifficult time listening to the teachers to be redirected. Overall, the kids and parents loved us. The preschool supervisor was difficult to handle a lot of times. She wasn't accepting of the way teachers taught or implementing concepts into learning. I remember a few occasions I changed the music a little because a student was singing it aloud. It was a chill day without a lot of kids. I decided to play the song. The supervisor had a problem with it. We did not get along. Sometimes, she made me cry and pushed me to my breaking point. The straw that broke the candle was she sabotaged me. One student I had was extremely disrespectful. If you redirected him, his behavior was extreme. He would actually fight the teachers and get very aggressive. It wasn't the first time he mistreated and fought me. I got fed up and defend myself. I thought taking the high road would help me save my job, but the supervisor and director let me go. I was sabotaged. I feel as though the director and the supervisors should be more accepting of what teachers do. The kids are what matters. If they are having fun, engaged, learning, and motivated, the supervisors and higher authorities should be accepting. They can learn so much from teachers and a younger generation. The preschool supervisor needs to bring more encouragement, support, and positive vibes to Loop Learning Center. Stop trying to always assume people have attitudes when teachers distance themselves. She also thought certain employees never took responsibility for their actions. The negativity, rude comments, and criticism were the issues. It's hypocritical how the the higher authorities say they're religious and God fearing, but font want the teachers to include a bit of religion into learning. The only time religion was involved was before meal times. The teachers lead their class in blessing the food. Loop Learning Center is rarely closed for holidays: Memorial day, Independence day, Labor day, Thanksgiving, and Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, and December 26th are the only holidays and dates the center is closed. Despite how challenging the children can be, they love us all. Most parents were decent and satisfied to have their children at Loop Learning Center. The employees there were great. I honestly have nothing negative to say about my colleagues they were amazing to work with and be around. Excellent benefits! Excellent salary! I'll remember the great positive memories at Loop Learning Center and let the negative go. I have moved on to bigger and better opportunities.

He's in remote learning now with his new school and they're amazed at his knowledge, comprehension and reading. Do not hesitate on bringing your child here.

As first time parents, we were anxious about daycares and thoroughly researched all nearby options before landing here. We absolutely love this school/daycare! The teachers are so attentive, experienced, and kind. Our son loves each teacher he has had and enjoys going to school everyday. As parents, we trust they have his safety and development in mind. Since starting, he has been coming home with new sign language, words, and preacademic skills (e.g., shapes, letters) constantly. We especially love the academic and events programming. From weekly themes, science lessons, to holiday events (e.g. Valentine's Day dance, Easter egg hunt). I know the older kids go on field trips too. The school also offers organic meals that our picky eater actually enjoys! Personally, it was also very important for our biracial son to attend a school with diverse peers and teachers. He's class is made up of 80% mixed race classmates which is incredible! We couldn't have asked for a better daycare!

Sadly this place has really taken a turn for the worst. Staffing shortages and teacher turnover,…read morepoor management, leadership and communication, and many of the beloved teachers being stretched beyond their capacity to provide cover for said poor management and turnover. My daughter started there at 3 months in the baby class, and progressed through 3 rooms, to the 2 year classroom. Ms. Kenecia, Ms. Jackie, Amr, Ms Gladys, and Ms.Charlotte who care for babies up to 2 years are all fantastic. Loving, attentive, caring and communicative. We never had an issue until we arrived at the 2 year old classroom, and experienced two instances of neglect and verbal abuse of our daughter. We addressed the first incident with the director, and a teacher was moved out of the room. Then, we continued to see new teachers in our kids classroom and they'd never introduce themselves and we were never notified. Multiple parents voiced concerns, we started to have teacher bios printed on the doors, but those would not cover the revolving door of additional teachers we'd see every week. Some days we'd drop our daughter off and there was 2 teachers for multiple classrooms at 830a, nearly an hour after they opened. The last straw was another parent alerting us to a teacher yelling at our child outside and telling her to "shut up" and "stop crying" and that "she was the problem." She's 2 years old! We, along with many parents, reached out to the director following this and though she verbally communicated her apology, she did not speak to either the teacher who yelled at my daughter nor the teacher that was present. We've reached out to the regional manager to also voice our concerns but made the decision to pull our daughter out of the school because at this point we are concerned for her wellbeing. Parents beware.

The teachers are great about sending videos and pictures throughout the day so you can track how your child is doing. They have made some recent upgrades to the space, including a nice large indoor play space and a new library. And I think they take kids outside every day if the weather permits. In terms of price, D2D is comparable to similar child care centers in the area. And the peace of mind you get from knowing that your babies are being taken care of is priceless.

The facilities are always clean, the kids are well cared for, and they've created such a nurturing environment. The food quality and curriculum are also top notch. This is my son's first time receiving care outside of the home and the transition has been easier than we dared to hope for. I went to pick him up early on the first day and he was having such a great time he asked to stay the entire day! We're thrilled to have such a great preschool program!

[This review is for the Bronzeville location]…read more Bottom line: We ADORE this daycare/preschool. We started sending our son when he was around 17-18 months. I was SO nervous about the transition because he was a Covid baby and we had nannies up until that point, but it became abundantly clear very quickly that he is thriving under the care of Sandra, Adriana, and his teachers. They work very hard to make sure each kid is well cared for and comfortable at school. LTL offers dual language (Spanish and French) immersion instruction and care, and it's amazing to see how quickly the kids adapt and learn new languages and skills. They are Montossori-inspired, but more academic-focused. The teachers create a curriculum each week. What really impresses me is their philosophy that kids are extremely capable and oftentimes it's adults that underestimate them. For example, LTL reached out to us when our son was around 20-21 months old to start potty training. Everyone we knew thought it was crazy and it was far too soon, but sure enough, after following LTL's guide, our son was potty trained within a couple of months and well before his 2nd birthday. I HIGHLY recommend this daycare. It's certainly not cheap, but for us, it's worth it. Other notes: - they use the Brightwheel app, which makes it a breeze to pay, send messages, etc. - they will post a picture/video daily so you can see what your child is doing that day - class sizes have been small (but this may be because Bronzeville is a newer location). Our son's class is 8-10 students with 2 instructors. - the Bronzeville location is right across from Dunbar park, and it's SO nice to have an accessible park and field for the kids to enjoy good weather and exercise!

That was validated by our experience at the school. Our daughter is speaking in Spanish and French. She is writing, learning to read, and singing in 3 languages! WGN did a little segment on LTL during February 2019, because there are no other Chicago daycares that teach this way and this well. The teachers love on the children and care about them deeply. The LTL community feels like a family. Sandra and Nana (the owners) go out of their way to ensure the children get a great education and are loved on. The daycare celebrates fun European holidays and has an annual World-vision Toddler Marathon, where the children get to run a race and learn about being compassionate and generous towards those with less.
