Children's Learning Place

I've been sending my little one to Children's Learning Place in Logan Square and overall I'm pretty happy with the health vibe there. The facility actually looks and smells clean when I walk in, which isn't always a given with daycares. They seem really on top of their sanitizing game and they're strict about the sick-child policy—if a kid has a fever, they are going home, period. It’s a bit of a hassle when it happens to you, but I appreciate that it keeps the whole class from catching every single bug that goes around. The teachers seem to genuinely care about the kids' development and wellness too, so I feel like he's in good hands during the day.

My toddler has been at the Logan Square location for a bit now, and I’m pretty happy with how they handle the usual daycare germs. The classrooms always look super clean when I drop off, and they have a really strict hand-washing routine that actually seems to stick. They’re pretty on top of it when it comes to notifying us if something like HFM or a stomach bug is going around the classroom, which I appreciate even if the emails are a bummer to see! My only small gripe is that their sick policy is very firm—they've called me a couple of times for minor sniffles that turned out to be nothing, but I guess I’d rather they be too cautious than not cautious enough about keeping all the kiddos healthy.
