I highly recommend Childtime of Evanston as a wonderful daycare. My child has been attending for almost a year, and the experience has been nothing short of amazing. The staff is incredibly warm, inviting, and attentive, which makes drop-offs easy and gives me peace of mind throughout the day. The environment is nurturing, structured, and truly focused on each child’s growth and happiness. I’ve seen a positive impact in my child’s social skills, learning, and confidence since enrolling. Another highlight is the quality meals and snacks offered — it’s reassuring knowing my child is receiving good, balanced food while in care. For families considering childcare, you can expect a welcoming atmosphere, caring teachers, and a classroom that supports both learning and fun. Shout-out to the entire team for their dedication and kindness every single day. Additionally, I’d love to recognize the great experience at Childtime St. Francis.

I also want to highlight how impressed I am with their food program. The menu is excellent, with thoughtful, healthy, and well-balanced meal options—far better than what you usually see at daycares. Huge shout-out to the cook, Dawn, for doing such an amazing job! You can tell a lot of care goes into the meals, and it really makes a difference. Overall, Childtime in Evanston has been a wonderful experience, and I’m very grateful for the dedication of the entire team. Highly recommend!

My daughter toured Childtime of Evanston and was very impressed with the staff there. The Director was warm and friendly as were the teachers. The children were happy and thriving in a safe and nurturing environment. Learning should be fun and Childtime of Evanston certainly promotes that. A place where children enjoy learning. My Grandson will be attending next year.

I have two children enrolled at Childtime and when I say they’re thriving, they are thriving. Any time I feel anxious about sending my kids away, I just have a simple conversation with Aryna and my anxiety just eases away. My kids come home excited to share about their day and overall excited to go back the next. It’s a great feeling knowing your most prized possessions are being cared and loved for just like you would. Thank you Childtime!

This was my second time touring this location, and while I wasn’t sure at first, but this last visit with the new director completely changed my mind. As soon as I walked in Ms. Aryna, was warm, welcoming, and incredibly helpful. Our baby is due in the summer of 2026, and we will definitely be enrolling!
