We are beyond grateful with Teacher Lauris at The Learning Hills of South Elgin. Teacher Lauris is patient, encouraging, and truly passionate about teaching. She creates a nurturing and engaging classroom where children feel supported, motivated, and proud of their progress especially seeing how much my son has grown academically. Miss Cassie is equally wonderful. As director, she is hands-on, caring, and incredibly attentive with the kids and families. You can truly feel how much she loves what she does and how deeply she cares about each child’s experience. Thank you both for creating such a positive, safe, and inspiring environment for our children. We are so thankful to be part of such an amazing school community!
Vannesa SanchezFeb 7, 2026I send my son here and they take wonderful care of him. I’m never worried for his safety or his happiness. I particularly appreciate the updates and photos they send during the day over the app.
Elizabeth Reid (Beth)Jan 18, 2026We love TLH South Elgin. They are so on top of things as far as scheduling, daily updates, photos, fun extracurriculars, cleaning and sick updates. Not to mention amazing teachers and staff. There is a new director this year and she has made a huge impact on the center. You receive newsletters, weekly updates on any type of changes and fun options for extra activities such as magicians or visiting animals. My son has been enrolled from 10 months to 2 years and we have adored each teacher he has had. Not to mention how smart he has become at such a young age due to the activities which circle back to an actual curriculum. I could not recommend more.
Lauren SikoraJul 29, 2025We have been at the Learning Hills of South Elgin for just about a year. They have always been very effective in communication about the care of our children. My 4 and 2 year old love all the different learning activities provided. The facility is clean and The staff is prompt to inform parents of any health concerns going around. We love a daycare that our children love ❤️
vanessa alvarezApr 16, 2025We have had nothing but a wonderful experience since enrolling our daughter 6 months ago. All staff are always friendly, our daughter’s teachers have been wonderful and she often comes home saying that she loves them! Management is always present and very responsive to any questions. We love that there is a gym area so the children are still able to run around and play even on cold and rainy days. We also love that there are security cameras in every classroom, that management can review at any time. Overall, we are very happy with the care that our daughter receives at The Learning Hills.
Staci NelsonApr 12, 2025I’ve had such a positive experience with The Learning Hills of South Elgin! Cleanliness is a top priority for me, and this center consistently exceeds my expectations. The facility is always spotless and well-maintained, which gives me so much peace of mind. Communication with the staff is also excellent — they keep me informed and involved in my child’s daily activities and progress. I love how engaging the environment is; the teachers clearly care and are always creating fun, educational experiences for the kids. What really stands out is how I constantly see them investing back into the school — whether it’s new materials, equipment, or classroom improvements, they’re always growing and evolving. Highly recommend to any parent looking for a safe, clean, and enriching space for their little one!
