  • ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ My children have attended Learning Tree East Daycare for the past 5 years, and our experience has been wonderful. The staff consistently provides a safe, caring, and nurturing environment where children can learn, grow, and thrive. I would like to recognize Zorida, Angie, Claudia, Christiana, Tenisha, Colleen, Shanyia, Ms. Laura, Ms Nikki, Cynthia, Gina,Melody, Nya, Alexa, Norma and Jessica for the care and support they have shown my children over the years. I also want to thank all of the teachers and staff members whose names I may not know or may have unintentionally left out. Every staff member has contributed to making Learning Tree East a positive place for my children. As a parent, it gives me peace of mind knowing my children are cared for by people who genuinely love what they do. The staff is professional, compassionate, and dedicated to helping children succeed. Thank you, Learning Tree East, for everything you have done for my family over the last five years. I highly recommend this daycare to any parent looking for quality childcare.

  • The Learning Tree Elgin East has a very special place in our hearts. It’s a place where I know my children will be safe and cared for in a way that I have not found any anywhere else. A place where they can be themselves and have fun in a caring, loving and encouraging environment. I greatly appreciate the amazing communication all the teachers and administration has with me. I love the app where they upload any new updates, pictures, activities, and all the stuff the kids do throughout the day and the pictures they send. I love that it’s access by code and there are cameras as well so there are safety features and policies in place. It’s a place where I have felt supported by the staff as well. All the teachers are amazing!!! When we first arrived I was very nervous but once they reassured me and answered all my questions, I knew I had found the one. The right daycare for our family. 10 out of 10 recommended!

  • My children have attended this center for the past five years, and our experience has been nothing short of wonderful. The teachers and staff genuinely care about each child and create a warm, nurturing, and supportive environment. A special thank you to Ms. Claudia, Ms. Cristina, Ms. Tanisha, Ms. Cynthia, and Ms. Zoraida, Ms Colleen, as well as the entire team, for their dedication, kindness, and attentiveness. Their commitment to the children’s growth, learning, and well-being is truly evident every day. I am incredibly grateful for the love and care they have shown my children over the years. My child love them just as much and are always so happy to see them! I highly recommend this center to any family looking for a place where their children will be valued, supported, and encouraged to thrive.

  • My kid went to this daycare since he was 8 months old, in few days he is about to graduate the day care. The teachers are so lovely and caring, they teach kids so many things, the have constantly something interesting going on, special themes, projects, etc. The communication with the center is easy via an app or they would notify me via phone about any important urgent things that I need to know about mu child also they share pictures of the child with the parents. They also have meals delivey for kids which creates a big varyiety in kids meals. I truelly recommend this daycare with all my heart. Thank you for being a 2nd family to my child.

We feel so fortunate to have found a daycare where our daughter feels loved and cared for by every single staff member. The Learning Tree East is truly exceptional, and we can’t recommend it highly enough!
