Crème de la Crème School of Lincoln Park - Chicago, Illinois

I did a good amount of research prior to sending our first child to daycare, and I can without question
say that it’s hard for others to hold a candle to Creme.

We’ve been at Creme since March of 2022 and have our second child there as well. The staff is amazing - I cannot say enough good things about them. We recently were house hunting and one of my parameters was that we still need to be able to get to Creme 😂

In 3+ years, we have yet to have a negative experience and I always recommend Creme to friends looking into daycare options.

Crème de la Crème has been an incredible experience for our little one. We’ve been part of the Crème family for several years now, and the reason we continue to stay is the outstanding team—from the directors and educational advisors to the support staff and teachers.

Every single day, the staff works together to create a personalized and nurturing experience for each child. From the moment you walk in, you feel the care and dedication they pour into their work. As a parent, you’re always informed and engaged through regular updates on all the exciting activities happening throughout the day.

What sets Crème apart is their commitment to well-rounded enrichment. They incorporate engaging activities like soccer, cooking, and more into the daily routine, making learning fun and dynamic.

I highly recommend Crème de la Crème to any parent seeking a place where their child can grow emotionally, socially, and developmentally in a safe and joyful environment.

It seems like comments are always given when less favorable experiences happen; so I wanted to take a moment to show gratitude for your excellent staff.

Ms. Lede, Mr. Aaron, and the wonderful staff at Creme de la Creme has been a fantastic preschools for our son. With many choices to choose from, we love how there are assigned classrooms, but other classes throughout the day are in different areas of the building. It's an adorable community that keep the kids interested and busy.

The positive atmosphere that greets us every time we walk through the door is a testament to the care and attention each staff member puts into creating a warm and welcoming environment for kids, Our son (who is 4 and attends 3 days a week) adores his teacher and looks forward to going to school each day. He comes home singing songs, counting numbers, talks about letters and is spelling words.

Community and inclusivity is celebrated here, with events that celebrate national holidays and special days. These experiences give a sense of belonging to everyone, and fun camaraderie among the kids and families.

We cannot recommend Creme de la Creme Preschool highly enough. It brings us immense peace of mind knowing that our son is learning, in a safe environment and surrounded by caring professionals who genuinely love what they do.

For years, I have provided speech and language therapy to children at Creme de la Creme, Lincoln Park. The intelligent and hard working teachers are a pleasure to work with. I've always been impressed with the facility and staff. So when I became a Mom, my husband and I decided to send our daughter there.

Our daughter started at Creme recently. We couldn't be happier. The staff are caring and competent, the facility is extremely clean, and the video monitors and security guard provide excellent safety.

I highly recommend Creme de la Creme, Lincoln Park as both a Speech-Language Pathologist and a parent.

My son (1.5 yr) started at Creme de la Creme in Lincoln Park this summer and has really thrived there ever since! We are so pleased with the beautiful facility, his devoted teachers, and all his new friends. The curriculum of reading, music, art, & playtime (plus specialty teachers for programs like Spanish and STEM), keeps the kids engaged & well-rounded. I believe Creme is setting him up to love learning already!

As someone who prides themselves on looking at all possible options that benefit the most. I can honestly say this daycare is the best in the city. After touring the top five rated daycares in the area and assessing five key categories. I found Creme to rank above all others in each of five categories.
- Curriculum
- Safety / Security
- Pickup and drop-off easability
- Cleanliness
- Overall facility (Space, amenities, visual attraction.)

I highly recommend you at least look at this place before making any decisions.

My 2 kids have been here since 3 months old. While the baby toddler programs were not great for us (mostly due to high teacher turnover, but this was several years ago) the preschool program has been fantastic. Ms. Jen, Ms. Teresa, and Ms. Trinida taught my kids so much, while being loving and caring at the same time. My now first grader was beyond prepared for kindergarten and I think my 4 year old will be the same. The directors, Ms. Nicole and Ms. Jodi, are fantastic, and have turned Creme into a real community. The extracurricular teachers, Mr. Aaron (music), Ms. Lynn (Art), and Ms. Elizabeth (Spanish) are out of this world, and are some of the most dedicated teachers I've ever met.

My daughter has been enrolled at Creme for over a year and a half now and I can definitely say that it was the best decision I have made regarding daytime care for her. As a full time working mom, Creme has provided me with daily assurance that my child is in the best of hands and is being cared for 100%. She has strived both socially and academically since she has been there. I look forward to her daily reports that i receive when i pick her up telling me about all the fun activities and projects they did throughout the day. Everyone there is extremely friendly and supportive to any of our needs. Everyday my daughter is provided with nurturing, that is very essential in the development of a young child. I have nothing but positive things to say about Creme dela Creme, and i look forward to watching my daughter grow and learn through out her time there.
