Downtown Children Learning Pl, Chicago | Fees, Rankings, Address, Admission, Vacancies, Reviews & More

Our family has been at the DCLP since 2016. I trust and love the people at Downtown Children’s Learning Place. They have come to be like family to us over the years. My daughter (4) and son (2) LOVE it there. The teachers go above and beyond at every age group to make sure kids are safe happy and engaged in learning. The Wiggles (infant) room was like having an extension of myself at times and my daughter had specific medical issues so I was so thankful to have them to trust when I went back to work- both of my babies were there at 3 and 4 months old. Since then they have progressed through each of the classrooms, and each one we have adored and eventually have become friends with the teachers. Maria and Alicia and I have had honest and productive discussions when I have communicated any questions they have been understanding supportive and accommodating at every turn. I am incredibly grateful for DCLP and it will be a big change for my family when we have outgrown it. I would highly recommend them to any family looking for a safe happy place for their children!

Absolutely love Children’s Learning Place (CLP)! Our daughter has been going there for 6 months

The care: Our daughter’s development has accelerated well beyond the pace of our last daycares. CLP has asked us what we want to work on with her and executed so well. They also do so many activities throughout the day with the kids that our daughter truly loves being at daycare more than being at home, and I think we take pretty darn good care of her at home.

The administration: Everyone has been absolutely lovely since we’ve toured with them through every day we’ve brought our daughter in. Any requests, accommodations, or questions we’ve had have been promptly handled. The mobile app for updates feels a little dated compared to some modern options but it’s still fully functional and we get so many great photos each day of our kids and any messages as needed.

I’m not sure what the deal is with the low star reviews years ago, but our experience (high end of infants class) and our friends child (preschool class) have loved it. Highly recommend.

My husband and I visited many daycares in the Streeterville and River North area and landed on CLPD. Its a very difficult situation to let go and trust others to watch your children, but we are very lucky to have sent our 17 week old son to CLPD. They not only provided great care but followed our schedule and listened to our needs and sent multiple daily updates. He definitely thrived while he was there – working on crafts, learning songs/colors/words; and a huge plus for providing diapers/food/wipes, etc. He attended CLPD until he was 9 months old and we moved away from the area (or we would have had him stay until much older). Terrific teachers who have been with Children’s Learning Place for years.
