I love this day care, the staff is super friendly, the young ladies working there in the afternoon are always so helpful with my kids. I always see my kids happy to be there, my kids are always so active and playing with the toys even if it’s in the carpet it’s pretty fun for them cause they are kids ofc!! I never had a problem with this daycare and I trutly recommend it
JulissaAug 4, 2025Hello Parents, Gianna the person its in charge of this daycares shes always lost, she doesn’t have no power to encourage their stuff to do better , alot of drama between their stuff its not a good vibe for the kids. PARENTS THERES OTHER DAYCARES IN THE AREA THAT WILL TREAT KIDS & PARENTS WITH RESPECT. INSTEAD OF BETTERMENT THEIR SERVICES THEY KICK 🦵 KIDS OUT TO FIND ANOTHER PLACE. 🫤
Liliana GonzalezJul 10, 2025My son has been going to Small World since he was 3 months old. They have wonderful director, she is available when needed and on top of things. Harry loves his infant room teachers Ms Lorena, Ms Grace and Ms Noelia - they have been warm and nurturing, I always have peace of mind dropping him of there. If you're looking for quality childcare I would highly recommend the place!
Bobbie PawluckaJun 6, 2025Horrible summer camp! Don’t even know how to start, but DO NOT trust this place. My son was mistreated by 2 different teachers. I don’t know how they allow these type of people to work with kids. Please be aware and ALWAYS keep an eye for red flags. Please parents ALWAYS ask your kids how their day went and about their teachers specially the little ones. I trusted this place with my sons only to have them scared and not wanting to return to this place ever again!. After paying $400 for registration for “activities and instructors” im expected to pay my monthly even though my kids are not attending the program anymore. I was told by the organizer that the kids were going to have water days, soccer, karate, joya, and dance and so many activities and so much fun! It’s almost the end of the camp & the kids NEVER had water days or karate. She decided to give me a “credit” even-though i told her the reason why I had to pull my sons out from the program but still pressured me to make a payment before it goes to collection. All they care about is MONEY! Your kids are only a dollar sign…One teacher is constantly screaming at the kids and taking her frustration on them! This place is supposed to give an unforgettable experience for the kids not Traumatize the kids and making them cry in front of everyone & telling them to “ be quiet and sit for 20 minutes” while the other kids play! This people are a joke!!! PLEASE BE AWARE!
yulibeth britoJul 21, 2022My Grandson started going to this daycare at the beginning of this year 2022. From the very first time I spoke with former assistant Director Ms, Izzy to enrolled him. They have demonstrate sincerity and how much they care for my grandson. They have treated him, as if he was another family member. I can't say enough about Ms. Gianna the Director at this location Melrose Park. She is a young lady that has gone above and beyond to make sure the transition from one state to another works out to the best of her ability. The passion and dedication that she has shown speaks volumes about her good character traits and leadership. As we moved to another state, Small World Learning Center will be the standard of measurement I will use to select another daycare for my grandson. We are so glad that we found this daycare and sad to leave it behind. Thank you for everything you did for us. Paco
