  • We’ve had a wonderful experience at this daycare! The curriculum is engaging, age-appropriate, and has helped our son learn and grow so much. The director is incredibly friendly, approachable, and genuinely cares about the children and families. The staff is always responsive and communicates well, which gives us great peace of mind. We also appreciate the high-quality meals and snacks they provide each day. We highly recommend this daycare to any family looking for a caring, well-run program!

  • Our family has firsthand experience with two Children's Land locations, our older child attended the Lincolnshire location, and we were very happy there. So when it came time to enroll our younger child, we had a high bar to meet. After careful consideration, we chose the Vernon Hills location, and it has exceeded our expectations in every way. Several factors drove our decision: the convenient location, the cleanliness of the facility, and the outstanding level of communication we received even before we enrolled. But one of the biggest reasons was Director Mrs. Irina, who we were already familiar with from her time at the Lincolnshire location. Her professionalism and genuine care for both children and families set the tone for everything at this center. The teachers have been absolutely wonderful! They are warm, engaged, and clearly passionate about what they do. And as a parent, one of the hardest things to navigate is finding the right balance between structured learning and just letting kids be kids. The staff here does this beautifully, creating an environment where children are thriving academically while still having the freedom to play, explore, and enjoy this special time in their lives. We couldn't be happier with our choice, and we highly recommend the Vernon Hills location to any family looking for a daycare that truly goes above and beyond.

  • Children’s land was a wonderful place to take my 4 year old son. As a first time parent it was really hard for me to know where to go and it was also a nerve wrecking transition for my son to be starting school. This place made me feel so comfortable as well as him. He has learned so much here. He has learned how to write and count so much better ever since he started going here. I also love how they have an app to see what your child has been doing throughout the day. It was a wonderful experience and my son really enjoyed it here despite the tough transition. I hope to be back.

  • Our toddler has been attending this daycare for about four months, and we’ve had a very positive experience. Lizzie has been phenomenal from the start, and we feel incredibly fortunate to have her as our child’s teacher. She is warm, attentive, and professional, and it’s clear she genuinely cares about the children in her class. The rest of the teachers and staff have also been wonderful. Everyone is caring, responsive, and easy to communicate with. They are always willing to accommodate additional requests when needed, which has made a big difference for us.

  • Background for us: we had very bad experience with the other location of Childnen's Land. Because of that experience, we decided to look elsewhere and ultimately chose the Vernon Hills location — and we are so glad we did.!! This center is wonderful. The facility is spacious, clean, and feels very new and well maintained. More importantly, the teachers are incredibly gentle, patient, and caring. We love Nataliia !! You can truly feel that they care about the children and their well-being. The director, Irina, is outstanding. We drop our child off right at 7:00 every day, which has been essential for our family since we need to catch the train. And the consistency, reliability, and warmth from the director we’ve experienced here have meant so much to us. We are extremely grateful to all the staff at the Vernon Hills location. Choosing to follow Irina and enroll here was absolutely the right decision, and our experience has only confirmed that. We highly recommend this location to any family looking for a supportive, well-run, and genuinely caring childcare environment. There is nothing more important than knowing your child is being well cared for, and this location truly lives up to that. Even though it takes us an extra 15-20 minutes each day to get here, it is completely worth it.

  • My son was enrolled in a preschool elsewhere that unfortunately shut down in the middle of the school year. From the moment we walked in Irina, the director, was so friendly and inviting. I absolutely love the space. It’s brand new and SO clean!! They really treat you like family. I will 100% recommend them to others looking for a new, clean and family-like center.
