  • We have had such a wonderful experience! The teachers are so kind, caring, and truly treat my son like their own. I especially appreciate the communication and daily updates—they always keep me informed and make me feel connected to his day. Knowing he’s happy, loved, and excited to go every morning means everything. We are so grateful for this amazing team!

  • I feel so blessed to have found this daycare for my son. After a long search, we finally found a place that truly feels nurturing and welcoming. The teachers are warm and caring, the children are well-behaved, and the director, Ms. Laura, has been incredibly kind and supportive from the very beginning. It gives me peace of mind knowing my child is surrounded by people who genuinely care and have such beautiful hearts. The activities are creative, engaging, and fun, and my son absolutely loves being here. He gets so excited every morning to see his friends! I’m truly grateful for this wonderful place and highly recommend it to any parent looking for a safe and loving environment for their child.

  • As a DCFS investigator, I have been to plenty of daycares. And this one is truly lovely. Laura is very professional. Juliana is a burst of energy-She always gave my son such a kind morning welcome. It is great to see a male caretaker such as Kyle who is gentle with the children. The children are taken to outdoor play at the park located in a private residential area across the street. A soccer league was welcomed and allowed children to play and practice soccer. Overall, my 2 year old son thrived at this daycare.

  • I cannot say enough good things about Compassionate Love Daycare! We enrolled our son here at 2 years old after transferring from a different daycare and he will soon be graduating to the pre-k classroom! Ms Lauren and Ms Jessica are the most hands-on administrators I've encountered and it feels like they support their staff incredibly well. Our son has been with Ms Diana, Ms Julianna, Ms Gabby, Ms Emily, and Ms Mayra in the "Twos" classroom and loves them all so much. All the staff is kind, patient, and completely invested in the kids. They use the "Brightwheel" app, so we get updates all day long including pictures and videos of their activities which helps us feel connected and involved in our son's learning. This is so much more than a daycare, our son is learning so much and developing crucial social skills with a diverse group of friends. There is also a playground nearby, and the staff makes it a point to get the kids outside every day that they can! My two major selling points for this particular daycare- the lowest and most transparent prices we found in the area for the quality of the experience, AND they actively help with potty training! We were very nervous about potty training at daycare, but they did everything we did at home and were so patient and flexible with our son as he figured it out. The only downside is that they open at 7am, which can be tricky for working parents, but that wasn't a huge issue for us. I highly recommend Compassionate Love Daycare!

  • My two sons go here and we’ve had such a positive experience. The director, Laura, is warm, organized, and truly invested in creating a safe and nurturing environment for every child. Overall the whole staff is great and they keep me updated throughout the day, which gives me a lot of peace of mind. My boys have learned so much, made friends, and genuinely enjoy going each morning. I’m really grateful to have found a place that feels both professional and family oriented. Highly recommend!

  • My daughter goes to Compassionate Love Day Care in Wheeling, IL, and we absolutely love it. Every teacher there is amazing — so friendly, patient, and genuinely caring. They helped her adjust to daycare so well, and I’m so grateful for how supported she has been since day one. You can tell the staff truly love what they do. They communicate with parents, make the kids feel safe and comfortable, and create a warm, welcoming environment. My daughter has learned so much and gets excited to go every morning. I would highly recommend Compassionate Love Day Care to any family looking for a safe, loving, and trustworthy place for their child. We couldn’t be happier!
