Poko Loko 5645 Dempster Street, Morton Grove, IL 60053

"Karen and her family, and the teachers (who will become your family) are the best in the business. My son started attending full time when he was 3 months old, and it was quite an emotional experience for me when we left so that he could attend Kindergarten 5 years later. I couldn't have asked for a more caring, nurturing experience for my son. He always surprised me with the new things he learned and the joy he had every day when I picked him up. The facility is decorated with kids in mind and your kids will want to go there every day to have fun, learn all the meaningful soft and social skills and to get them ready for Kindergarten. I tell everyone I know how much I loved my experience with Poko Loko and you will do yourself a favor by enrolling your child in this loving place."

"One of the best daycares in the town. Kids feel like they walked into a Disneyland school. It is not only inviting and exciting but the staff is mind blowing. Specially Miss Amanda (management team) is so encouraging to the kids. They worked with my child and his delays. Their curriculum and care towards kids is exceptional. I am very sad that we had to leave due to relocation. My kids got the best care by them. With or without covid their cleanliness standards are excellent. Loved their personal pictures of kids every week and at holiday celebrations."

"Very impressed with the administrative staff and teachers! My kids love going to school, they've learn a lot, and are excited to showcase their art projects. The teachers are kind and warm, the executive director is always smiling when we drop off the kids, the school responds promptly, and pick up the phone every time!!! I feel safe leaving my kids at Poko Loko!"

"My daughter went here from 4 months to 2 years (we moved after - to ANOTHER Poko Loko location closer to our new house). We selected the Morton Grove location primarily because it was the BEST daycare center we found after visiting about 10 different centers. And, being right off the highway was super convenient for drop-off/pick-up. The facility is practically new, and they continued to expand to give more play areas to the kids. Ethnic and religious diversity is important to my family, and this center has it more than I had seen anywhere else. It was quite obvious that all the teachers genuinely loved and cared for my daughter. The other staff and directors were good about communicating, especially when there are unpredictable circumstances (weather, etc). I really wanted to stay with this location (because it's all we knew), but all the Poko Loko locations are family-owned so it was a little easier to leave knowing we were going to another site with familiar expectations."
