  • I am so grateful my son has a spot here. Leaving your child to go back to work is one of the most stressful, heartbreaking moments as a parent. From before even day one, The Learning Hills have treated us like family. The most comforting aspect of my child attending here is knowing he is loved and cared for by the incredible staff.

  • The Learning Hills in Crystal Lake is a wonderful center that truly feels like a second family to us. The teachers and staff are exceptional. They genuinely care about each child that walks through the doors. The warmth and professionalism of the team at TLH make it clear how much they love and value what they do. I’m incredibly grateful for the positive impact they’ve had on my child and our family. Some highlights: -Amazing teachers with experience -Secure foyer area and security cameras -Daily updates via app, with pictures -Large classrooms with developmentally appropriate toys and furniture -Convenient autopay option -Fair and reasonable cost (as daycare can be anyway!) Some improvements: It honestly took me several minutes of thinking. Considering everything, it’s arbitrary. But, the app has issues sometimes. Thank you Kiran and TLH team! -Kroesch Family

  • As a first time mom, sending my baby to daycare at just 3 months was extremely nerve-wrecking but the staff at the Learning Hills of Crystal Lake helped to ease my anxiety. The app is very informative and allows me to check up on what he's been up to all day which I love. Also very important, I can tell my son loves it here when his teachers open the door to receive him and he smiles really big.

My son was always very well taken care of. I have no complaints whatsoever. And it’s very clean. They show unconditional love to my son. I will recommend The Learning Hills of Crystal Lake to anyone and everyone!!!

  • Hi, my experience so far has been amazing, and my 9-month-old son has had an amazing time at The Learning Hills in Crystal Lake. The staff and teachers are fantastic with him, showing genuine care and professionalism. They've created a warm and stimulating environment that has positively influenced his development. I'm impressed by the commitment of the staff to provide personalized attention, ensuring each child feels secure. The facility is clean and well-equipped for the children's needs. I highly recommend The Learning Hills to anyone in Crystal Lake looking for exceptional childcare. The staff's dedication and excellent customer service make them stand out. Thank you, Learning Hills, for making a positive impact on my son's early years!

  • I cannot express how wonderful it has been with The Learning Hills! We moved our son from a national chain daycare and the difference in curriculum, nutrition and engagement is night and day. The team at TLH is incredible and we are so grateful to have our son attend. The best endorsement though is our son who has consistently expressed his joy in attending TLH. Thank you to the whole team for making us feel good about our daycare decision!
