Our daughter (almost 2) has been in the Petit Moyen class for a couple of months and we couldn’t be happier. The community is warm and welcoming, from the teachers to the entire staff and parent group. The school feels very safe and clean, and the communication has been excellent. We love getting updates, photos, and videos throughout the day that show how she’s doing and what she’s learning. The bilingual immersion in Spanish and French is a huge plus, and we’ve already noticed tremendous developmental growth, both in her motor skills and communication. It’s clear that the teachers are thoughtful and truly invested in each child’s experience. We feel very lucky to have found this community!
Jessica PattonOct 28, 2025Here are some tips for parents trying to find the best daycare for their little ones: 1. Don't save your time and visit several daycares. 2. Ask for a morning time visit before choosing one. This time is always "active time" so you can see how children are spending their time, what they are busy with, and how teachers are communicating/handling kids and their emotions on the face . We love "Living the languages." As I mentioned above, we visited 3 daycares in the area. The first one we visited was an art-inspired one where we didn't like the teaching program itself. The second one, it was "Montessori," and I literally saw a kid eating mud in the playground. That was an immediate no! After, we visited one more, it was religious daycare. It was generally good, but we couldn't decide for that one too. We visited "Living the languages" in the morning "active " time and saw how teachers were communicating kids with respect, patience and with special pedagogical methods, preparedness! And how efficient and organized their teaching program was! Full of interactive games both in French and Spanish languages. Now, we are more than just happy that we chose this one as every day they send us tons of videos where my kid is spending his time joyfully and learning and making friends! In the videos, I can see that my kid is their kid too!
Sevara KhusinovaOct 3, 2024Oh, let me tell you about the Multi Lingual Childcare Center – a true gem nestled right in the heart of our vibrant South Loop community. From the moment you step through the door, you're enveloped in an atmosphere of warmth, love, and the joy of language exploration. The staff here is nothing short of extraordinary. With an unwavering commitment to fostering a bilingual environment, they engage with the children exclusively in French and Spanish. It's truly heartening to witness the little ones responding in kind, effortlessly navigating between languages with the ease and grace of seasoned linguists. The dedication of the staff to nurturing this linguistic dexterity is truly commendable. What struck me most was the beautiful European sleek design of the classrooms. It's not just a childcare center; it's an aesthetic experience. The attention to detail in creating an environment that stimulates both the intellect and the senses is truly remarkable. The colors, the layout, every aspect of the design exudes a sense of sophistication and cultural richness. Accessibility is key, and the Multi Lingual Childcare Center has it down to a science. Conveniently located near the expressways – the Dan Ryan and Eisenhower – getting here is a breeze. For those relying on public transportation, the Red Line and bus stops are mere footsteps away. This thoughtful placement ensures that families from all corners of our diverse community can easily access the center, fostering a sense of inclusivity and community engagement. In sum, the Multi Lingual Childcare Center is a haven where language flourishes, cultural diversity is celebrated, and the foundation for a bright future is laid. It's more than just a place for children; it's a testament to the beauty of embracing languages and cultures from a tender age. As a proud advocate for education and cultural enrichment, I wholeheartedly recommend this center to families seeking an immersive and nurturing bilingual experience for their little ones.

What ages does LIVING THE LANGUAGE accept?

Does this page show inspection results for LIVING THE LANGUAGE?
- No. Illinois publishes monitoring and licensing reports going back to 2010 through Sunshine at sunshine.dcfs.illinois.gov.
