My son went here since he was 18 months old until he started kindergarten this year. Sugar Plum Tree was such an integral part of his development and I couldn't be more grateful to the staff there. They were all so professional, accommodating, and great with the kids. I would highly recommend Sugar Plum Tree preschool to anyone.

We couldn't be happier with Sugar Plum Preschool! From day one, our child has absolutely loved it. The environment strikes the perfect balance between work and play, it's clear the teachers understand how to make learning fun and engaging.The curriculum is thoughtfully designed, and the staff genuinely care about each child's development.

This daycare has been terrific for our 2 kids. High praise to the teachers who genuinely care, and the consistent gym/outdoor/swim/activity time! Brightwheel is a great app to coordinate information and payments!

Our 3-year-old daughter has been attending for almost two years now, and we couldn’t be happier with the care and education she’s received. Sugar Plum took the lead on her potty training, which was a huge relief for us, and she has truly thrived in their nurturing environment. She’s learned so much, from mastering her ABCs and counting past 20 to identifying shapes, colors, and even picking up some basic Spanish! The large gym is one of her favorite places to play, and the variety of art projects keeps her constantly excited to show off her creations. What stands out the most is how much she adores her teachers, referring to them as her "besties." They are now using the brightwheel app to provide multiple pictures daily which is a delight to see. We highly recommend Sugar Plum to any parent looking for a place where their child can grow, learn, and feel truly supported!

My son has been going to Sugar Plum Tree for 3 years and it has been the one constant since we moved to Park Ridge. We can rely on them to care, teach and provide him many learning experiences so he can become an independent little boy, ready for kindergarten. They helped him learn to talk more with wonderful songs, colors and shapes in Acorns, drink out of an open top cup, potty training & clean up after himself (lunch and toys) in Sprouts, learn all his letters, numbers, writing, follow direction, independence and more in Discovery and Koala classes. Each classroom has an appropriate teacher-student ratio with colorful, private rooms each with their own personality. And during the pandemic, they have kept each child and staff member safe with their rules to protect and keep the mask mandate since the kids are too young to vaccinate. Mrs. Waters and his pre-K teachers have supported our son in most his special ed needs by allowing his private therapists to come to the school. He gets SLP & OT sessions in per week while aligning with his teachers to work with his therapists which help him transition from therapy back to gym or class time. This has been such a big help to know he is getting many of his needs met. Thank you Mrs. Waters, Lynn, Brittany and all his teachers for your help, support, learning and life skills for our son throughout these years!!!
