Recent parent reviews

  • My son went to JIOL in 2005 and he had an amazing time there. The staff were family and still are! The daycare was his home away from home and I am forever grateful for that! He still talks about his Grandmas spaghetti!🤗 This is an amazing place for children to learn and grow! So thankful for my family's experience!

  • Jenkins Institute of Love is a wonderful, family owned daycare on the South Side of Chicago that has served the community for years. There are plenty of daycares in this city but not ones that operate with the integrity of the Jenkins family and team. I sent 3 children through this daycare and they are all exceptional humans and it is no doubt due to the loving, nurturing and valuable educational foundation they received at Jenkins Institute of Love. Go visit, feel the love for yourself, you won’t regret it.

  • I’ve sent both my boys to this daycare from age 4 months to school age. This is a loving daycare and the staff is amazing! My sons also learned shapes, colors and numbers well before entering kindergarten. They were reading by age 3 and 4.
