Oaktree Academy 2120 West Lawrence Avenue, Chicago, IL 60625

"My husband and I were searching for a new daycare for our son when we stumbled upon Oaktree Academy. They weren’t even open yet but Beata, the center’s owner was inside working on the facility and offered us an impromptu tour of the space. We loved Beata’s energy and the facility was beautiful! Our son started there as soon as we could make the switch! If we hadn’t moved out of the neighborhood he would still be going there. It’s truly the thing we’re going to miss most about not being in Lincoln Square/Ravenswood. The teaching staff is kind and caring. They really get to know your kids. They send lots of pictures and serve healthy meals to the kiddos who eat solids. Their tuition is in line with all the other daycares in the area and class sizes are relatively small still while the center is growing. We will forever be grateful to Oaktree for taking care of our first born for most of his first year of life. Thank you Beata and all the Oaktree teachers and staff!"

"My husband and I toured a few daycares in our neighbourhood and immediately fell in love with Oaktree Academy. From our first email correspondence with Beata to our baby's first day at the center, we felt comfortable every step of the way. They truly helped ease us all into the transition from stay-at-home to daycare. Our 3 month old baby, Riona, was welcomed with open arms by the teachers and other kids. She has had an invaluable experience at this center, filled with stimulation, growth, and friendships. The teachers are fantastic; I'd like to especially shout out Beata, Ms. Connie, Ms. Kayla, Ms. Kirby, and Ms. Elsie for their kindness, care, and support. Oaktree Academy is a wonderful center with exceptional teachers."

"Oaktree has been an amazing experience for our almost 2 year old daughter. She has flourished while there! Oaktree helped us out when our daycare nearby closed for 2 weeks due to summer break and we needed help caring for our daughter for that time. We have been so impressed with the care and warmth of their center. Mary Ann and Kirby are both so kind and really invest their energy into teaching and supporting our daughter. Beata and Connie are also so wonderful and very responsive as we helped get our daughter adjusted. Our daughter looks so happy throughout the day and is exposed to so many great activities. They do a great job sending pics and videos throughout the day as well! We are def considering moving our daughter to full time at Oaktree after our experience there has it has been so lovely! I highly recommend them to any parents looking for daycare!"

"This is a wonderful place with great people. They take really good care of the kids, and every day they do new activities. My baby loves it and the fact that she runs to the class in the morning proves it. The place is clean and equipped with lots of developmental toys and you can tell that Beata, the owner puts a lot of time and dedication for it to stay that way. It’s at its beginnings, but is growing slowly and steady with a knowledgeable team of teachers and we foresee a great environment for our baby to be part of."

"Oaktree Lincoln Square is absolutely amazing with our 21 month old. They engage him in developmental activities every day, get him outside and into nature, and expose him to a variety of foods. He is always happy to come here in the morning and is always happy and smiling in the constant stream of update pictures the staff provides."
