  We’ve had such a wonderful experience with this daycare over the past year. My son has been here for almost a year now, and the care and support he has received has been truly amazing. He has transitioned from the infant room to the toddler room, and both classrooms have been filled with incredible teachers who genuinely care about the children. I want to especially thank Ms. Ghada, Ms. Angie, and Ms. Amy for their kindness, patience, and dedication. They have made such a positive impact on my son’s growth and happiness. I also truly appreciate the front desk staff, they are always welcoming, helpful, and organized, which makes everything run so smoothly. It gives me peace of mind knowing my son is in such a caring and nurturing environment every day. Thank you to all the staff for everything you do!

  I couldn’t be happier with this daycare! From day one, the staff has been incredibly warm, attentive, and genuinely caring toward our child. It’s such a relief knowing our little one is in a safe, clean, and nurturing environment every single day. The teachers go above and beyond to create fun, educational activities that keep the kids engaged and learning. We’ve noticed so much growth—socially, emotionally, and academically—since enrolling here. Communication is also excellent; we’re always kept in the loop with updates, photos, and any important information. It truly feels like a second family, and we’re so grateful for the love and dedication they show. Highly recommend to any parent looking for a trustworthy and high-quality daycare! ⭐️⭐️

  My son has been at Penny Lane for over two years. As soon as I enrolled him, I saw immediate improvements in his speech. He has flourished every new year his class has changed. His social confidence has soared. And he has learned more than I could have imaged. The teachers and staff of Penny Lane are kind, communicative and always responsive. They plan so much engaging events for parents and family to be involved in our child’s day to day life, and overall growth. The facilities are also top notch, offering an indoor gym for the long winter months was a major selling point. In addition to multiple outdoor spaces. Everything is always clean, orderly and child friendly. I couldn’t think of a better place for my son to spend age 3-5. I highly recommend Penny Lane if you’re looking for a daycare that treats you as family, and is fully invested in your child’s education, social growth and emotional support.

  I can’t say enough amazing things about this daycare! My son has been attending since he was an infant, and now he’s in the 3-year-old class getting ready to move up next year—and we’ve loved every step of the journey. The front office team—Jessica, Janet, Amanda, and Stephanie—are truly incredible. They are always so kind, welcoming, and willing to help with anything I need. No matter the question or situation, they go above and beyond to make sure everything is taken care of, and that means so much as a parent. One thing that really stands out to me is the relationships I’ve built with every teacher my son has had. We don’t just talk at pickup and drop-off—we’ve built genuine connections, even outside of daycare, because they are just that wonderful. It truly shows how much they care, and it makes such a difference knowing my son is surrounded by people who love him as much as I do. What I love most is how much this place feels like family. You can tell they genuinely care about the kids and the parents, and that kind of environment is priceless. My son is happy, safe, and thriving here, and I’m so grateful we found this daycare. Highly recommend to any parent looking for a loving and supportive place for their child!

  As a developmental therapist working in early intervention for the past 15 years, I’ve had the opportunity to visit and support children in many daycare settings. Penny Lane (Chicago Ridge) truly stands out as one of the best I’ve experienced. From the moment you walk in, the front desk staff—Donna and Stephanie—are consistently warm, respectful, and welcoming. Their positive energy sets the tone for the entire center. The classroom teachers are equally impressive—engaging, kind, and genuinely caring, creating an environment where children feel safe, supported, and happy. I would confidently recommend this daycare to any family looking for a nurturing, fun, and secure place for their child.

  Starting our son at Penny Lane was the best decision ever! They keep his schedule as close to our home schedule as possible for naps, bottles and food. We get plenty of updates and photos and can see he’s really enjoying himself. Ms. Stephanie has been a great help both when we were enrolling and throughout his time here so far. Any questions we have, she has always gotten back to us in a timely and professional manner. We appreciate all that you do!
