Love, love, love CLP. Mrs. Rai and her staff are absolutely amazing. Our son went there from age two through five (he’s just starting kindergarten now). They helped with potty training, socializing, speech, literacy, motor skills, discipline, independence and a whole lot more I’m sure I’m forgetting. Drop off is as early as 8am and pick up as late as 5:30pm. There aren’t a ton of openings (I think they have about 25 spots), so they have a great teacher to child ratio. Every staff member was kind, nurturing, and encouraging. My son learned and grew so much under their guidance. I seriously don’t know what we would’ve done if we didn’t find this hidden gem. Our son was more than prepared for kindergarten and CLP played such a huge role in that. Considering the cost is comparable to day care rates and they provide a Montessori based education, this is the best deal in town.
Chris MeisnerAug 26, 2025I went to Children’s Learning Path Montessori school from 2011-2013 for preschool and kindergarten. CLPM was truly one of the highlights of my childhood. I recently visited to see Mrs. Rai and I remembered why the school was truly so special. When I went to CLPM, I always remembered doing math and writing exercises that were engaging and challenging. I remember that once I began first grade at public school, I felt that I was ahead of my peers because of all of the amazing teaching at CLPM. The comfort and love for school that CLPM brought me was truly special and I am absolutely confident that it set me up for all of my future academic successes. CLPM also changed my life socially, allowing me to meet my best friend who I am still best friends with today. Their emphasis on learning and social connection impacted me deeply in my developmental years and I am incredibly grateful for the role that CLPM played in my life. I highly recommend that any parents send their kids to CLPM to truly encourage their academic and social development! It really will be some of the best years of their lives. Thank you Mrs. Rai!
Nathan SMay 28, 2025My child goes to CLMP and loves it. She is progressing, socially, and academically so well, and the teachers and staff are all wonderful.
Sanjeev RaiMay 11, 2025I attended Children's Learning path when I was a child, and it was a horrible experience. I was constantly berated for doing the littlest things wrong, and I distinctly remember one of my teachers forcing me to write with my right hand even though I'm a leftie. I hope that any other child will not receive the same blows to their self esteem as I did when attending this school.
Sejal SharmaJun 25, 2023Our 3 year old daughter goes here, and she loves it. She has progressed so much socially and academically. The teachers and staff are so nice and patient. They take special attention to each student and you can tell they really care. It is an excellent daycare/school, and it is definitely not brought up enough. Love it here, and I highly recommend it!!
Joyce Kang AlexApr 30, 2023We enrolled our son here when he was 3.5 yrs old and it's been more than a year now, I checked the day cares and Montessori schools around wheeling and this is the best place that we could find and we are happy that our decision turned out to be right ! Mrs. Rai and her team's teaching methods are excellent and my son enjoys it here, they are like an extended family now. English is not our first language and we don't speak english at home but my son never had problems working with teachers and his language has improved a lot now, thanks to the CLP team, I would definitely recommend this place to my friends.
