Bucktown Academy exceeded all our expectations. The teachers are wonderful—so kind, dedicated, and fun! The director/owner Rebecca is truly an expert in early childhood development, and is so dedicated to each child. The balance of play and learning is perfect. Our child loved going to school every day, and his social skills and confidence grew so much. This school will always have a special place in our hearts!
Rachel Gottlieb FeinbergOct 28, 2025Our son started Bucktown Academy October of 2023 and we have loved our experience. Our son looks forward to school everyday and even asks to go on weekends. Our friends and family have noticed a big change in his personality - primarily his confidence and vocabulary. Additionally, his curiosity and memory have all significantly progressed as well. Rebecca and her team have fostered a wonderful environment for the children and their families. We feel so lucky to be a part of the Bucktown Academy community!
Elise O'ConnorMar 7, 2024Great program and great teachers!
Alpesh ShahNov 17, 2023All three of my children attended Bucktown Academy in various forms (preschool/summer camps) and all three of them absolutely loved it! I can't say enough good things about Bucktown Academy's approach to learning and my children all thrived under BA's caring and committed educators. Although my kids attended Bucktown Academy many years ago, they still recount their fond memories at the school and always squeal with delight whenever we drive by the building. As a parent, I was so thankful to partner with such an accessible and invested team, especially as BA was the first place where my kids spent time outside of our home under someone else's care. Rebecca has built a truly special program that fosters curious little minds, builds independence and grows confidence in early learners.
Lauren ThomasDec 16, 2022Bucktown Academy is a high quality preschool! My daughter and I attended one of their events, the Storybus, and we had a very enjoyable visit. My 4 year old loved it! Not only was I impressed at the beautiful school, but the teaching staff was helpful, friendly, and informative. They made my daughter feel special. The physical space is incredibly well thought out, and inviting for young children, very bright and open. If you are researching preschools for your child, this is a not to miss school.
