  • Two of our children attended this childcare , and we had a wonderful experience. The teachers and the director are caring, professional, and truly dedicated to the children. There are always fun and educational activities, and every holiday and special event is beautifully organized. Our children were very happy here and learned so much. We are graduating this year, and it is very sad to say goodbye — this place and its wonderful staff will always hold a special place in our hearts.

  • Ms. Margaret and her staff are the best! My twin girls loved going to Pinocchios day care. I’m so thankful for all their support, love and kindness. My girls are now going to Kindergarten and they are still remembering their teacher and they even say they want to go back to Pinocchio. Thank you!

  • We moved to California nearly two years ago and still remember Pinocchio team dearly. Thank you, Ms Margaret and the team for wonderful 2.5 years. The most caring staff, amazing facilities with outdoor space and daily outdoor play all year round and tasty European style meals prepared on-site. The community of Jefferson Park is very fortunate to have you!

  • This is the best daycare in an area. The staff is very friendly and they are always very attentive to the kids. My daughter was going there for over three years and I couldn't be happier. She was always happy to go to school and plenty of times she did not want to leave. The home made meals, outdoor playground are just one of many benefits. Kids learn how to share, play together. I would recommend that place to anyone who wants their children to be in a happy and safe environment.

  • My wife and I consider ourselves very fortunate to have found Pinocchio Child Care after an exhaustive search of other centers. Mrs. Margaret (the principal) and the teachers are so attentive and loving towards my daughter as well as all the other children that attend. They go out of their way to instill strong values and a solid education, through patience and genuine concern. We have been amazed with the growth we have seen in my daughter over the last two years. We also hold a very special place in our heart for Mrs. Margaret, who last year exhibited just how caring of a person she is. My daughter had a health scare in November 2016 - Mrs. Margaret was the first person to come to our home to check on our little girl. It was unexpected and truly touching. Best child care center, hands down! Christos Sarris Chicago

  • Wonderful place with loving and dedicated teachers. Pinocchio is a warm and inviting place for kids and parents. The crafts and learning activities are amazing. Healthy homemade food. Flexible hours is a plus. My son loves his teachers and I know he is in good hands with all of the caring staff. We couldn’t be happier!
