We offer a safe and joyful environment for children to interact with others and gain comfort in group settings.

Infants also have the opportunity to discover new textures, engage in water play, and explore interactive art and toy activities to develop hand-eye coordination and fine motor skills.
Toddlers at Ladybug and Friends Daycare & Preschool are encouraged to explore their environment and develop their language and cognitive abilities. Our group time focuses on expanding vocabulary through songs and nursery rhhymes, while discovery time allows toddlers to learn more about the world around them. Art projects, pretend play, and physical activities help children express themselves creatively and develop movement skills at their own pace.

We offer part-time or full-time care, a comprehensive curriculum exceeding DCFS guidelines, extra programs in music, Spanish, and physical education, and meals that exceed USDA regulations.
As children enter the preschool age, they continue to develop their unique traits and understanding of the world. Group time includes discussions, readings, and videos to promote critical thinking and language development. Discovery time emphasizes science and nature exploration, while intellectual games and art projects help children further their reasoning, communication, and social skills.
At Ladybug and Friends Daycare & Preschool, we understand the importance of fostering each child's individual growth and development. Our experienced teachers provide a nurturing environment where children can learn, explore, and grow while building friendships and gaining independence.

"We sent our son to Ladybug (Irving Park) when he was an infant. They were so loving and great to him. I loved the pictures, activities and enthusiasm his teachers showed. He "graduated" to the toddler room and was happy there too. He learned a lot while there; words, body parts, etc. Ladybug had a lot of turnover in 2021, which was common in the industry, but they continued to find warm and loving caregivers. We eventually moved him to a Montessori, where he'll get a more rigorous education in a couple years. But if you're looking for a safe and nurturing environment for your little one, I highly recommend Ladybug. The communication wasn't always the best but I've found that to be true of daycares, generally."
"We started at Lady Bug when our son Brody was 2 yrs old. We loved the overall experience. The teachers: Ms. Taili, Ms Crystal, Ms Elizabeth, Ms. Kelli have been sincere with Brody. Every morning Brody would look forward to seeing his teachers, I also would like to Thank Mr. Ryan for the work he has done for Lady Bug in Irving Park. He has done a terrific job and we appreciate everything he has done for us. I highly recommend anyone who is interested in enrolling their children to this location."
"Ladybug has been absolutely amazing! Her current teacher has been great with us during our time in her classroom. She is extremely patient, caring and always has a smile on her face. She spends time getting to know the kids inside and out and it shows. She also answers any and all of my questions (which I have a lot) and I know my daughter is always in good hands once I walk out that door. That goes without saying, all of the teachers are all very caring and go the extra mile to make you and your child feel special. I could talk about how great every teacher is! The director is kind, understanding and communication with him is easy. If there are any issues going on, he makes sure to let the parents know right away. Safety and wellbeing are his top priority and its comforting to know that as a parent. One day we received a phone call saying she had a temperature of 103.8. I started freaking out as a new parent but when I got there, her teacher and the assistant director were very calm and helped me get our things together so I could take her to the doctor. I was just so relieved that they noticed her temperature rising and took the appropriate steps to notify me and watch over her until I arrived. They act as a team here and hold each other accountable. I couldn’t praise this daycare enough."
