Trusted daily routines are the school habits that every child needs. Sitting in circle time, for example, starts as early as infancy. Your child feels safe, happy, and secure from the get-go as they master school habits that help them feel confident and prepared. Children learn best through repetition.

It's heart-warming watching little ones hand out plates, serve food, and throw their own plate away at lunchtime. With age-appropriate tasks they gain the skills to succeed and be responsible for themselves, as well as maintain their surroundings. R.I.S.E stands for Reach, Inspire, Self-Paced, Excellence and instils a life-long love of learning in your child.

After gaining experience of over 18 years and education in the child care field and parents themselves of 3 children, they found many flaws with the way in which the centers were operated, and the enormous cost parents were paying for below average childcare.

Our goal is to create a safe, loving and nurturing environment that makes parents feel comfortable while they are at work, while ensuring their children are educated and prepared for the future.We also wanted to make sure this could be done for the working families of the Channahon/Minooka Community and the surrounding area.

Toddlers | 13 to 24 months | Serving Channahon, Crest Hill, Plainfield, Yorkville and Bolingbrook, IL. Your toddler learns essential self-care skills and has the encouragement and guidance to propel them towards some all-important skills as the basis for their independence.

My son was enrolled here in 2019& 2020- and it was a positive experience. I pulled him out due to covid. I enrolled him again along with my daughter in may 2021. The entire staff had turned over when we went back….the new management is shameful and a nightmare to deal with. A huge downgrade from the staff who was working there for many years before Jessica& Michele. The owner, Melissa, was not helpful in her responses either, as she avoided my questions completely in her responses. If you value sending your kids’ to a daycare with decent morals / ethics …. then this is not the place for you

My children have been going here for 2 years. They love the daily activities and teachers are great! I as a parent love the pictures and daily updates that are sent throughout the day. Being an essential worker right now with the pandemic i am so grateful for little learners staff including Mrs. Deann, Mrs Kaci, and Mrs. Mauri. They have gone above and beyond to ensure a curriculum that is fun and entertaining for the children. All e learning during this time has been arranged by them so that the children are able to log on and participate with their classmates while at little learners. This is

After looking around for a daycare for quite sometime in the local areas I’m so glad we decided to go with Llca!! They were very welcoming, caring and patient as this was new for us. We feel so comfortable with their care. Karen, Casi and Deanne have been nothing but awesome to us from the start!! 5 stars plus!

My kids love going to little learners! The teachers are great with communicating and following up with any concern even the silly ones! They are always willing to help and listen.

The owner, Melissa is extremely rude and unprofessional. My kids were not her concern, it was my money. I couldn’t trust my kids would be safe and cared for under her management although I knew and loved the teachers. When we left I reminded her that I left because we had the option, which she had reminded me of! There are much better centers and options in the area.

My grandson just started going there. He is always happy when my daughter picks him up. They are taking good care of him ( 4 months old). I just have a problem with the way they handle contracts. They raised the rate of my daughters payments without letting her know or drawing up another contract for her to sign. I talked to the lady about it yesterday and she seemed very irritated to talk about it. I had my last two kids in daycare so I know the rules. I need someone above her to explain this to me. There is no problem with payments just how it was raised without any notice, verbally nor written

The staff at little learners in yorkville has been great. Their preschool program has taught my little guy so much. He has some new information he is so excited to tell me about everyday. Also during these crazy times we are experiencing they have taken the E learning and ran with it. So thank you to Deanne, Mari, Casi, and the rest of the amazing staff at little learners.

This is an awesome day care center! My two children have already made advancements after only attending a few weeks. We are so grateful for the director and teachers who are so kind and compassionate. They make learning fun! We can’t say enough good things.

My daughter has gone here since she was 12 weeks old and she's almost 3... she has great relationships with her teachers and friends and I am happy dropping her off every day knowing it's like a second home to her. I can tell she learns a lot and has a lot of fun there.
