We had a great experience with Purple Moose! Both of my kids went through all of their programs and everyone there became like family. We continued to drive to Moose even after moving out of Crystal Lake because we loved it there so much. I would highly recommend Purple Moose to my family and friends! 💜 🫎
Allison KarrJun 10, 2026We love Purple Moose! It’s a great place for preschoolers to have fun, feel safe and learn! My child was so proud of his crafts that he brought home daily. And we were so proud of his accomplishments and work too. Great place, can’t recommend enough.
Danielle MullinsAug 6, 2025Daycare will hurt child then get defensive when it’s brought to their attention. PSA to all parents who send your children here, if you are hearing something alarming from your child, contact DCFS right away. They will investigate when the daycare has proven they will not investigate themselves.
WillowNov 29, 2024Purple Moose is an exceptional early childhood experience for children and their families! Our son completed the 2 year old preschool program and my husband and I (both educators) were blown away by the education and love provided! The communication from the directors and teachers was top notch and appreciated! We saw many pictures daily via the app used which led to great conversations with our son and a beautiful digital portfolio of his year! The lessons were themed, engaging, included multiple senses, child appropriate and child led, and a blend of inside and nature time! We loved seeing the cute projects coming home. The teachers truly loved the children and played with them and modeled play and learning. Such a fantastic learning environment and experience.
Samantha HoukMay 30, 2023My children are so well adjusted in school and have so much desire to learn, I know Purple Moose played a great part in that.
