Quality Classroom is a great child care center for infants and toddlers because it provides a safe, nurturing, and well-structured environment where children can grow and learn. The center maintains clear rules and regulations that help ensure consistency, safety, and positive behavior throughout the classroom. The uniforms are neat and professional, which creates a sense of unity and helps maintain a clean, organized setting. Ms. Nigeria and Ms. Winter are both very professional caregivers who show patience, care, and dedication to each child. They communicate well, follow policies responsibly, and create a warm atmosphere where infants and toddlers feel comfortable, supported, and valued.

I am so impressed with the quality of care at this daycare. From the moment you walk in, everything is immaculately clean and well-organized — you can tell the staff takes health and safety seriously, with clean classrooms, toys, and common areas. The teachers and caregivers are professional, warm, and attentive. They communicate clearly with families, share updates regularly, and genuinely seem dedicated to each child's development. The curriculum blends fun, play-based learning with activities that prepare kids for preschool, Pre-K, and kindergarten skills like early literacy, numbers, social interaction, and independence. Highly recommend 10/10!!

When my husband and I began the search for a childcare facility, our top priority was finding an environment that would truly prioritize our boys' education and development. Ms. Winter and Ms. Nigeria go above and beyond to ensure our children get the best education possible. They are not just caregivers; they are incredibly knowledgeable experts who truly understand the needs of every child. It is such a blessing to be able to go to work with total peace of mind, knowing they are in such capable and loving hands.

I absolutely love Quality Classroom Childcare! My first son attended when he was around 8 months and stayed until he was about 2 years old. Since then he has remained at the top of his class in every grade level. I must say as a fellow educator this is one of the BEST childcare programs in the city of Chicago. I highly recommend!

I feel like this daycare is the cheat code for early childhood development. My son is developing independently and socially extremely fast considering he's only one. I couldn't have made a better choice. Thank you so much for your love, hard work, and PATIENCE.

Frequently Asked Questions FAQs

Do we utlize camera’s?

Cameras are specifically for the school Directors to use in monitoring who is approaching our school. Vistors must sign in.

Do I need to bring food for my child?

No we provide an opportunity for a healthy breakfast, lunch and an afternoon snack for your child. Our menus are created using USDA guidelines and we cook foods that are taste-tested and kid-approved!

Can I provide my own food?

For the safety of all children, we do not allow parents to provide their own food. We provide food services for all children in our care. Menu exceptions are allowed for children with documented religious or medical reasons. If a special diet is required, you may speak to the Director about supplying the necessary food or milk substitution.

How do Teachers handle discipline with my child?

We believe that discipline is the helpful guidance, encouragement and support that adults use to influence children. It is not founded in punishment or rules and restrictions, but in teaching children to resolve problems and seek solutions themselves. Appropriate discipline helps children learn how to interact and develop self-control. Our staff and teachers will utilize these concepts and follow a developmentally appropriate strategy for handling classroom discipline. These strategies, as well as our biting policy, can be found in our Parent Handbook.

How does our center handle potty training?

We assist parents with potty training. We incorparate what parents are doing in the home.
