Green Beginnings 1376 West Carroll Avenue, Chicago, IL 60607

"Green Beginnings is truly amazing. We have both of our children at GB and could not be more satisfied! We made a switch from nanny to daycare and while we were anxious at first, those anxieties quickly went away within the first couple of days. This place has got it going on. It is so organized, so structured, so thought-through, in all the right and comforting ways. It operates so smoothly and is so well coordinated and connected, without being rigid or stiff. Katie and Krissy, the owners, are such genuine people. They are warm and welcoming. They make you feel right at home and instantly comfortable with your children being there all day. Honestly, every day I look forward to seeing each of them. They have a staff of equally genuine people. All of the teachers and assistants are so friendly, so calm and so "on top of it". I am amazed at what they are able to do day in and day out. They are so good with children of all ages and have a personal touch on all interactions. Curriculum and learnings are also wonderful and it's great to see the weekly updates / photos of what they are doing each week. The layout of the classrooms and general facility is great. It's thought-through, it flows well, it's an open space concept for the older kids and that's just great. It's clean and neat and tidy. There is always fun stuff happening on the walls and updated for birthdays, holidays, festivities, etc. What a gem of place! We are so happy here."

"If you're looking for your children to be LOVED and LEARNING everyday, stop your search now! My daughter attended GB for 2 years, and my son was lucky enough to attend for a few months before our family moved from the city. :'( Leaving our GB family was one of the most challenging parts about our move out of the city. There are too many things we loved about this school to name. The owners, Krissy and Katie, are present in the classrooms daily. They know each and every family and their stories. They go out of their way to accommodate for ALL of their families. My daughter has challenging allergies, and Krissy helped us substitute menu items every single month to make sure she could still safely eat with her friends. Every single teacher is warm, friendly, and communicative. My daughter came home with new skills, singing new songs, and counting in Spanish (!) daily. She still talks about her teachers from GB months later. GB was her home away from home. We miss you GB - Love the Hanson family! "

"We have two children at Green Beginnings, ages 3.5 and 18 months. This is the third daycare my oldest has been in (poor guy, we've moved twice since he was born) and it's far and above the best. Sometimes they don't want to leave at the end of the day! Which I love, it means they are happy and nurtured throughout the day. The teachers are all so good with them. Both my boys have blossomed since attending GB. One of my favorite things about GB is the open floor plan -- you get happy vibes right when you walk in."

"We have two children at Green Beginnings and could not be happier. Our daughter started at 3 years old and our son started at 6 months. The directors Katie and Krissy made it an easy process to take a tour and enroll, and the teachers we have had have been fantastic, shoutout Ms. Maria and Ms. Erika! The activities are creative and engaging, and they work so well with us to help support both our kids. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a fun, safe and creative place for your kids to grow!"

"There are so many things to love about Green Beginnings! It’s an amazing space that feels warm and inviting for kids. The teachers are diverse, nurturing and very involved with each child. The owners are always present and truly passionate about providing the best care, love and support for all the kids. My daughter has thrived since she has started and we are very grateful!"
