  My daughter attended Learn and Grow Academy in Fox Lake for three years, and I can honestly say it has been one of the biggest blessings for our family. She didn’t start her childcare journey with positive experiences, but Learn and Grow completely changed that. She discovered a true love for learning, built lifelong friendships, and grew into a confident, kind friend. As a teacher who has worked in multiple childcare centers, I know how rare it is to find a place where children are genuinely loved, nurtured, and supported every single day. The teachers at Learn and Grow pour their passion into everything they do, and I always knew my daughter was safe, cared for, and valued. Ms. Cecil, the owner and director, is truly exceptional. She knows every child, loves every child, and leads with so much heart. Her passion shines through in the environment she has created. Her team of amazing teachers were always warm and welcoming. They took time to get to know my daughter and she would always be excited to see them. I will truly miss Learn and Grow but I know they prepared my daughter for her next journey and I’m so excited to continue for her to love learning and always be curious due to her solid foundation. I highly recommend Learn and Grow Academy to any family looking for a place where their child will feel safe, loved, nurtured, and inspired.

  I wanted to share my great experience I had at learn and grow with both my daughters going there. Cecil owner and director and her team are the most amazing people around they are very kind and strong headed my girls had the best experience they have ever had growing up and being taught everything they know now by Cecil and her team they were not only taking care of my girls but teaching them everything from the fallowing teachers Lexi,Brittany,Vanessa, and can never forget the last and final but most best of all Mrs Jenn the place is always kept clean day in and day out my girls where happy there and now they both have graduated and it’s sad that I will not be there anymore because we grew as a family and friends is more of the best way to say it all from day one to the end I will always recommend learn and grow not just for a daycare or a school but because of everything and how my girls where treated and the level of respect that I have gotten the whole 3 years I was there thank you for reading my review and I hope you choose learn and grow like I did

  We loved our time at Learn & Grow Academy! The staff is incredibly caring, attentive, and truly dedicated to each child’s growth and happiness. My daughter was always excited to go! Ms. Cecil and her staff are all amazing! Especially Ms. Jen – her positive energy, creativity, and commitment to learning was fundamental in preparing the kids for kindergarten. Ms. Cecil consistently includes extra experiences and fun events so there is always something for the kids to look forward to – bubble parties, Disney character visits, holiday parties, pajama days, water play, etc. The older kids got to go on exciting field trips in the summer – Lamb’s Farm, Legoland, Marriot Theater, etc. They also celebrated Mother’s Day, Father’s Day and Grandparents’ Day with a wonderful breakfast that guardians/grandparents were invited to. They also put on a wonderful Pre-K Graduation ceremony that the kids rehearsed for months and were all very excited about! The facility is well maintained, secure (doors are kept locked) and clean. We always knew our daughter was well taken care of and in a safe environment. Highly recommend!!!

  Big shout out to the director & your staff. We have been noticing our little ones improvement with her Letters, shapes, colors, numbers, days of week, months of year etc. I even see her drawing shapes and it has not gone unnoticed. Thank you to the amazing staff with helping her grow. To the director - if your staff don't get enough feedback please give them their praises. They are doing a wonderful job & I appreciate each and every one of them. It's also not only abouts learning. They have intergrated fun activities yearly such as Disney characters visits, bubbles show, foam party, field trips, seasonal photoshoots, parent and grand parents appreciate breakfast..etc things that the typical daycare do not do, and this is speaking from experience that have been to other daycare centers. I would highly recommend!!!

  Learn and Grow is an outstanding daycare that provides a safe, clean, and nurturing environment for children. The facility is consistently well-maintained, and the staff demonstrates professionalism, care, and genuine dedication to each child’s development. I would like to highlight Ms. Jen, whose commitment and positive energy set her apart. She is attentive, patient, and truly invested in helping children thrive. Her professionalism and warm approach create an atmosphere where both children and parents feel supported and confident in the care provided. I highly recommend Learn and Grow, especially for families seeking a daycare that combines cleanliness, friendliness, and exceptional staff.
