Transportation-Friendly Location
We are located right across from the Webster Theater, between Clybourn and Ashland. We also have a private parking lot where parents are welcome to park for the day and use public transportation to get to work. Take the train from the nearby Metra-Clybourn station and the EL-Red and Brown Line on Fullerton.
Every one of our staff members is committed to helping your child grow and develop both socially and emotionally. Our wide variety of programs allow your child to use their imagination and learn to love their academic studies.
