I could never thank these ladies for all of their love towards my children. We have known Mrs. Gotter and Miss Patty as well as Miss Angie for over 13 years now . All my 4 children went to CBB, all of them absolutely love this place and most of all they love their educators. The activities are great, the food is great, these ladies love what they do and it shows! I am forever grateful for all of their hard work and dedication. I strongly recommend CBB for all your child care needs, camps, daycare schedules, before and after school care. Your children are going to be taken care of and they are going to thrive at CBB!!!
renata cioranApr 26, 2026My child loves it here and is happy to see Ms. Angie open the door each morning. Everyone is wonderful and fully engaged with the childen. You can tell they love wjt they do, really makes a difference. I love that I don't need to worry about meal prep, they handle two snacks and a lunch throughout the day. All my experiences have been positive. You can't go wrong with CBB!
veronica venegasApr 17, 2026100% Recommended! Our three year old started at CBB last year. We have had the best experience with the staff and classroom teacher (Ms. Angie). Seeing our child genuinely excited to head into classroom every morning is the ultimate peace of mind for us as parents. Ms. Angie's efforts with my son show through our child’s progress and improvement over the last year. He has been potty trained (with ms. Angie’s help) and he can communicate & socialize with everyone so well. The teachers overall are warm, engaging and responsive. They focus on developmentally appropriate activities for children. We will continue with CBB until our child is ready to go to KG. We are so grateful to Ms. Patty, mrs. Gotter and ms. Angie for providing the best care possible for our son and always being so responsive!
Waqar AhmadFeb 27, 2026Our daughter started at Children’s Bright Beginnings last year as her first regular “outside the house” program without mom and dad. She loves the school, her classmates, and especially her teachers Ms Patty, Ms Angie and Mrs. Goddard. She always comes home happy and is always excited to go back the next day. Importantly, her social skills and confidence have grown tremendously since she started the program and we know she is receiving high quality care and education every day. We couldn’t ask for more from a preschool program and highly recommend CBB to anyone with young children in Morton Grove. Our youngest will definitely be going when she is older!
Josh BJan 30, 2026My child is thriving at Children's Bright Beginnings! He happily walks in the door each morning and is excited to tell me about his day when I pick him up. The staff here is consistent and reliable. There's a wide variety of educational activities throughout the day as well as healthy meals and snacks provided. There is outdoor play space when the weather permits. We are thrilled to have a trustworthy group of caretakers look after our child!
Eileen KeleghanJan 28, 2026My children have been going to CBB for the past few years, and we’ve had a wonderful experience. They’re genuinely excited to go on school days and come home having learned new things. They’ve made great friends, enjoy the meals, and nap well while they’re there. We feel very lucky to have CBB nearby — the entire team is caring, attentive, and does an amazing job taking care of our little ones. Highly recommend!
