Imagination Childrens Academy

Rainforest is a gem 💎 in a sea of daycares in the West loop. If you want a place where your children will beg you to go to school (even on the weekend when school is closed 😆) this is the place ❤️). The teachers, administration and staff all truly care. Not to mention the all daycare plays that are put on every couple of months. These events are one of a kind and there is even a theater director. Every production is amazing and when we share photos or videos of these plays with our friends and family, they can't believe the efforts and dedication that goes into each one! My son loves Rainforest and so do we!!

Our daughter attended Rainforest's West Loop location for a just over a year (from 1 to 2 years old), and it was an incredible experience for her and for us as a family. We moved out of the city recently, otherwise would still be enrolled. Rainforest West Loop is sincerely a special place-- the teachers and staff are wonderful, and they work hard to make daycare fun, enriching, and welcoming; we will be forever grateful for the learning (both academic and socio-emotional) that our daughter received during her time there. When we left, the teachers created a photo book for her with pictures of her and her friends and the staff, full of beautiful notes. They even gave her a stuffie that she loved to nap with at school that she could bring to her next daycare. We still read the book and our daughter loves getting to see and talk about the friends she made at Rainforest. A huge shout out and thank you to the Rainforest West Loop team for making this formative time in our daughter's life so special, for caring for her, teaching her, and keeping her safe. <3

Rainforest is absolutely phenomenal and we can’t recommend them enough. Our son has gone to Rainforest West Loop since he was 3 months old and has absolutely thrived there. He’s learned so much. It’s obvious how much he’s loved and how happy he is to go each day. I genuinely believe Rainforest has played a huge role in how well-developed he is. He also surprises us with new things he’s learned every week. From his first teacher Miss Maria to Miss Rosi, Miss Deisy, Miss Mariauna, to the front desk Miss Crista and Cristina, they are all wonderful. The energy is positive, calm, fun and loving. Rainforest is truly worth every penny. I was so nervous to leave him at daycare the first time and now they are some of the few people I trust with him. They also do special events at least every quarter like a fall fashion show or Shakespeare in the Park and go all out with beverages, hors d’ouvers, headshots or art by the kids on the walls. Thank you Rainforest for being so wonderful!

Rainforest has been such a joyful place for our daughter — she calls it “turtle school” and looks forward to it. The teachers are warm, creative, and clearly love what they do. The energy is positive, the space is vibrant, and the whole team makes learning feel like an adventure. We are so grateful to have found this gem in the neighborhood.

This is a truly special place. Our daughter only attended for a few months (we ended up moving out of the city) but it changed her demeanor in so many positive ways. She went from being a shy, quiet baby to a happy, confident little chatter box who loves to be around other children. I really credit that to the wonderful staff and teachers at this school. If we could have continued to bring her after the move, we would. If you are looking for a daycare in west loop, look no further!
