My son has been at NEA bucktown for almost 1 year now and we love it here! Already enrolled our newborn without a second thought! All the teachers are so caring and thoughtful. My son has been so happy here and has been learning and growing with great set of friends!
preeti lalApr 29, 2026My family moved away from the area a few months ago, and I can’t express enough how much I miss this gem of a daycare for our little guy. Ms. Lupe runs a great program and my sons teachers, Ms. Mayra and Ms. Kim, were amazing. They were incredibly kind, patient, and professional with the kids. They were also great with communication and didn’t brush anything under the rug, anytime anything out of the ordinary happened with my son they would let me know immediately (if he fell and scraped his knee, if he seemed to have a reaction to something, if he had a particularly rough day). The classrooms were a nice intimate size, the food they provide is high quality, the space is clean, and their curriculum is incredible. I always knew New Einstein Academy was a special place while my son attended, but I guess I didn’t quite realize HOW special until we moved as i have yet to encounter any place like it where we currently live. I hope any new parent nervous about starting daycare highly considers this place, I can assure you that your little one will be in a safe, engaging, and nurturing learning environment.
Samantha RitiApr 1, 2026Sadly we moved away and can no longer attend NEA, but I felt compelled to leave a review. This was by far the best pre school we’ve experienced. The staff was kind, thoughtful, and responsive. And the atmosphere they created fostered learning in a positive and happy environment. Our daughter still talks about it and we will always be thankful for our time there.
Gabriel IatarolaDec 24, 2025We have been so happy with our experience at NEA. This is my daughter's second year in the oldest classroom. She has grow so much over the last year with the help of the wonderful teachers at New Einstein. When she was very shy they were incredibly caring and patient - encouraging her to interact with the other kids, but not pushing too hard. She loves all of her teachers. She's learned so much too! Overall, the school is very responsive to messages and we've had zero issues. Would highly recommend if you are in the area!
Julia AdamsNov 29, 2024We absolutely love this day care. I’ve toured many in the area and none compare. The staff is attentive and loving, it’s clean, they supply diapers & wipes, and the curriculum is really well developed. My child has learned a lot and made many new friends since starting.
Chaula PatelAug 26, 2024I can not say enough great things about this daycare! The staff is caring, nurturing and attentive. My oldest child was here for almost 5 years and we loved every minute of it. We even chose to keep him at NEA instead of sending him to PreK, because the education they provided was so excellent. He is now one of the top academic performers in his class! The facility is spotless and tidy. They take extra care at abide to all Covid precaution recommendations. The staff is great at communicating. We have made so many great friends from the families we have met here. I have recommended this daycare to many!
