Built on Trust, Shaped by Families
For more than 28 years, Toddler Town Children’s Learning Academy has been part of the Chicago and Evanston communities, helping children take their first steps into learning while giving families a place they can return to with confidence.
As a family-owned academy, we believe early childhood education is deeply personal. The relationships formed here, between children, teachers, and families, are what turn a childcare center into a place that feels familiar, dependable, and genuinely connected.
OUR ROOTS
A Legacy of Care
Toddler Town has grown alongside the families it serves, with decades of experience shaping how we approach early learning, communication, and everyday care.
That history gives us perspective. We understand that families are not only looking for a strong educational program. They are looking for consistency, people they can trust, and a place where their child can feel comfortable enough to learn, explore, and become more independent.
OUR VALUES
What Guides the Way
Our work is grounded in respect for children, strong family relationships, thoughtful teaching, and a belief that the early years deserve both care and intention.
We value curiosity, kindness, consistency, communication, and the confidence that develops when children are encouraged to participate actively in their own learning.
OUR PEOPLE
Teachers Who Know Childhood
The strength of Toddler Town begins with the people in the classroom.
Our licensed, CPR-certified educators bring experience, patience, and a genuine understanding of early childhood development to each day. Their role is not simply to lead activities, but to observe carefully, build relationships, and create the kind of consistent environment where children can feel secure enough to try something new.
