    Prioritizing Outdoor Play

    We understand how important it is for children to move and enjoy time outdoors, which is why we include 120 minutes of outdoor play as part of our daily routine. We have far more to offer our students than just a playground, though. All of our outdoor amenities are constantly monitored, and each meets our strict safety standards. Our outdoor amenities include:

    • Water park and splash pad: There is nothing better than splashing around in a water park to stay cool on a hot summer day.
    • Tennis court: Your child will love playing a friendly round of tennis on our court, a sport that will further develop their hand-eye coordination.
    • Basketball court: Our students get great exercise and improve their team-building skills and hand-eye coordination, all while playing an exciting game of basketball.
    • Creative Movement studio: Children get the opportunity to stretch both their body and their brains as they enjoy fun, teacher-led activities in our Creative Movement studio.

    Security is Our Top Priority

    Keeping your children safe and secure when they’re on our campus is always our number one priority. That’s why we have invested in state-of-the-art security technology to monitor the activities on campus and who is coming and going. We have Eagle Eye lobby monitors to watch what’s happening around our facility closely. We also have cameras throughout the campus that record both sound and video. We have nonrecording cameras in the bathroom as well to ensure the safety and security of our students.

    Our interior doors remain locked at all times and require a fingerprint scan to open. We also have an administrative assistant or another member of our staff monitoring activities at the front door. Guests are required to provide ID and must wear a visitor name badge the entire time they’re on our campus.

    Serving These Nearby Communities

    We opened our doors in 2009 and are located in the Arboretum of South Barrington. You’ll spot us behind the Home Goods and CVS stores. We’re close to many of the area communities, which makes it easy to drop your child off on the way to work. Most of our parents live in South Barrington, but some work nearby and live in the surrounding towns, like:

    • West Dundee
    • Elgin
    • Carpentersville
    • Deer Park
    • Palatine
    • Schaumburg
    • St. Charles

    Transportation From Nearby Schools

    We understand how important it is to know that your child can be transported directly from their elementary school to our after-school program. That’s why our buses pick up children at several area schools and drop them off at our facility. These schools include:

    • Timber Trails Elementary in Hoffman Estates
    • Thomas Jefferson in Hoffman Estates
      Countryside Elementary 

    At Crème de la Crème of South Barrington, we are proud of our unique curriculum and the ability to help our students improve their cognitive, social, and emotional development.
