  • We are so grateful for the teachers and administrative staff at Loving Care! We followed the director and some of the teachers from another daycare, so they have been a part of our family for the past 6 years. The teachers and admin staff truly love the children, and the kids love them back. Our youngest give hugs every day before we leave for home, just like when leaving a family member's home! The warm, loving staff truly care and nurture the kids during this formative stage of life. They are thoughtful in the wide variety of daily activities, including plenty of time spent outdoors exploring and playing at nearby parks. We had such peace of mind leaving our kids, knowing they would be safe, and developing so many skills along the way. They are quick to respond to any questions or issues. Cannot recommend more highly!

  • We couldn't be happier with our decision to send our daughter to this daycare. The facilities are always clean and secure, which gives us total peace of mind every single day. The teachers are truly the heart of the center; they are so knowledgeable, caring, and kind. Thanks to their incredible guidance, my daughter has learned so many vital life skills and developed a wonderful sense of independence. We also love how thoughtful they are with the learning environment, regularly rotating the toys to keep things fresh and engaging for the kids. Another aspect we appreciate is the dedication to healthy nutrition, as the teachers prepare fresh fruits and vegetables daily for the students' meals. The daycare also goes above and beyond with special touches that build a true sense of community. From informative parent-teacher conferences and student reports to amazing family events like Mother's Day and Father's Day celebrations, Literacy Night, Halloween fun, and the absolute cutest winter concert performance, they make every milestone memorable. If you are looking for a nurturing, safe, and enriching environment for your child, I cannot recommend them enough!

  • I have had three kids attend LSLC across both classrooms (I currently still have a child in each room) and it has been such a lovely experience. My kids all adore their teachers, who know every single kid well, and the other kids. Many kids/families have kept in touch even after graduating. My oldest was extremely well-prepared for CPS pre-k and then kindergarten, largely due to the gentle classroom structure and guidance from her LSLC teachers. All of my kids have learned a ton here, from social skills to reading/math/geography/writing to how to clean up after themselves and help themselves in daily life. It's such a great blend of the best of montessori while still keeping that fun play-based daycare spirit, and you can really tell the teachers embrace this!

  • We are so grateful for LSLC and the work of the admin and teachers in making this space so special and nurturing for our child. We know he is in good hands, being cared for and supported in his class. I also appreciate the consistency of the teachers and thier lessons - which shows that the staff feel valued and appreciated to stay there and be a part of this wonderful school.

  • This daycare lives up to its name; truly the most loving and nurturing environment. The management and teachers truly care for the children and make it a priority to build relationships with the parents as well. There is a great sense of community given all of the events they host for the parents to join and meet each other. They teach the children independence while supporting their milestones and host regular parent teacher conferences to check on progress. I feel so lucky to have my son at Lincoln Square Loving Care.

  • In the 7 months we have been at Lincoln Square Loving Care, we've met all the teachers, even the ones in the other classroom. Having that familiarity has been comforting for us and our son. Ms. Glenda and Ms. Catherine are kind and patient. They facilitate their learning while letting the kids drive their choices. They send us photos and videos so we have a better idea of what activities they are doing during the day. Ms. Bardha, the owner, is honest and genuinely cares about the kids. Lincoln Square Loving Care has become a community and support for us. We feel fortunate to have such a fantastic group of teachers and kids here!
