  • Our family loves The Learning Tree. Our son has been attending for 3 years and still attends for summer camp and the after school program. The Teachers and Staff are wonderful. Highly recommend.

  • We've been sending our kids here since the beginning of 2026 and we are extremely happy with the school. I feel like my 2.5 year old comes home smarter every day he's there. My infant seems exceptionally happy here. The teachers there are absolutely WONDERFUL. They are very caring and get to know the kids & accommodate their specific needs and development. And it blows my mind how the administrators, Michelle and Shelly, manage to remember *EVERYONE*. It's amazing and it really feels like they know us on a personal level. The pricing is extremely affordable when you compare to a lot of the other schools/learning centers in the area. In fact, they are the lowest price we found in the area, but we feel like we're getting so much better quality and value (especially versus the well-known national chain). Communication between parents & staff is very clear & consistent. We feel like we are constantly informed of what's going on, which is great! Choosing a place to send your kids for 8+ hours a day is a real tough decision as a parent, both for your sanity & your finances. The Learning Tree really puts my mind at ease in every area I was worried about as a parent while going through the process of choosing a school for my kids.

  • 5 Stars isn't enough for the The Learning Tree! All 3 of our children attended. We loved it so much we re-enrolled our youngest as well. Now, as he transitions to closer to home for Preschool, we're leaving with grateful hearts. It's bittersweet to say goodbye, but we are so thankful for the care, love and learning all 3 children received over the years. The teachers, staff and administration are incredible, nurturing, dedicated and truly invested in every childs growth and happiness. The Learning Tree has been a second home to our family, and we will always carry warm memories of our time there. Thank you for everything!

  • Our kids loved their time at Learning Tree. We had two children attend and were part of the school for multiple years, and have only positive things to say about the teachers and staff here. Even though we've moved and no longer are in the area, our kids still talk about their teachers and the friends they made here. Thank you to all of the teachers and staff at Learning Tree Elgin West!

  • We've been so happy here! Our daughter spent her first two years at learning tree. Even when she was a tiny baby, she always had a smile on her face when I went to pick her up, and I'd know she had a great time. One of her first names she learned was her teacher Amy's name--she would even ask for her on weekends! We were so sad that a move would make it too far to drive every day, or we would have stayed until kindergarten. They have great facilities and activities for all ages. This is a wonderful place to send your children.

  • We’ve had an amazing experience with The Learning Tree Elgin West! Their hours are perfect for our family (6:30a-6p). They are so flexible if we need to add an extra day here and there. Their communication with us is absolutely top notch. They respond to our messages in the app right away and keep us updated throughout the day, plus they send so many pictures of our son having a great day! What we love the most is how caring the teachers are. Our toddler is mainly in room 4, and his teachers are amazing (especially Miss Amy, Miss Sadie, Miss Donna, and Miss Natasa!) Our son usually has some trouble with drop off in the mornings (shy, scared, doesn’t want to leave mom) and they know exactly what he needs and they swoop right in to take over and he calms down almost immediately. We’ve also had great experiences with the infant rooms before moving up to toddlers (Miss Julie and Miss Gabby are the best!). This center has helped our son learn and grow and we definitely recommend it!
