Our daughter (5) has been at Maple Tree since Jan 3rd. What a wonderful school!…read more We moved and having to change schools is tough on a little one. Maple Tree felt right from the second we went to visit. We looked at about a dozen montessori preschools and there wasn't a better one. We looked in Glen Ellyn, Downers, Lombard... The school itself is adorable. It is quiet and peaceful and clean. The student/teacher ratio is very low. We were made to feel very welcome from the first day. The directress Jean Gottlieb is such a sweet and caring woman. She clearly loves children and understands child developement. She has been willing to answer questions, give advice and simply listen to parenting and educational concerns. The school has organic lunch catered in for the children, with vegetarian options, and prides itself on being earth friendy and passing those values on to the children. They are nut free and don't allow sugary snacks...this is a huge change from what we were used to, but I love it! All this and we can already see learning in leaps and bounds. Our daughter has started reading and understanding concepts in math that she wasn't before. We are thrilled to have found Maple Tree. If only we could have been there from the beginning!

It doesn't feel like a "kid factory" like so many others we visited. We love the small classrooms and having 3 teachers to 8 infants is a huge selling point. We love the webcam and you can see the teachers and how hard they work every day! Constantly playing with the babies, cleaning, picking up and providing one on one attention when ever possible to each child. You pay a little more but the quality of care and education for us, has been worth it. When she gets a little older, we are excited about the lunch menu! All organic with an amazing variety of fruits and veggies- not carb centric but still kid friendly! My husband and I wish we could eat here! :)

The teachers are so kind and caring, you can tell that they really enjoy their job, the kids and the families as well. The app is great for real-time updates and worry free days for any new parent, this was a huge bonus for us! Plus the teachers capture some really great moments during the day with our child when we cannot be with them. We were a bit nervous because there were a lot of leadership changes from the time we signed up until the time our son started but it has all been great improvements to the facility. We are very happy with our choice.

Our son was very attached to us, but he was always excited for drop off with Ms. Diana and the fun day of art, play, books, and buggy rides ahead. Toddler- our older son is in Ms. Bianca's toddler room. Ms. Bianca is so positive, bubbly, and friendly. The kids love her and she bring so much fun and patience to every day. The school emphasizes outdoor time and they have so many outdoor play spaces. When it is cold or rainy, they have an amazing lunch room that turns into a play area to give the kids a change of scenery. They also provide snacks and lunch! We're so happy with our choice and impressed with how much our kids are learning!

At Little Shepherd we teach writing their name and the ABC's with the program "Handwriting without Tears." Our daily schedule also includes curriculum from Jolly Phonics and Michael Haggerty. Classrooms are organized making it easy for children to learn to clean up and put away toys easily. It is proven children need more Nature in their day. Our program teaches children to love being outside and care about nature. It is amazing how much the children learn about birds, bugs, and animals. Our three School Rules that we foster are to be safe, be kind, and be neat. The Director, Kristi, has been here 15 years . She treats her students/parents and staff like family. Therefore, she has several staff members that have worked at this school for 10+ years. I highly recommend any family looking for a preschool for your child to give it a try. This location starts takes a limited number of babies at 6 weeks of age.

The Directors are supportive, approachable, and truly care about both the staff and the children we serve. They create an environment that values creativity and learning, and it's clear they're passionate about what they do. Administration makes sure that we have everything that we need for our classrooms, lesson plans, and art projects. I have worked at several corporate and private schools where that was not the case, so am very grateful that everything is provided for the teachers. The nature program here is a real highlight. The school offers enriching experiences like gardening, bird watching, and even raising and releasing butterflies, which really engages the kids with the natural world around them. It's rewarding to watch them get excited about these activities and grow curious about the environment. The nature staff are well-trained and knowledgeable in all aspects of nature education. They are also excellent at working with young children, making the program both educational and fun. Be sure to take a tour and see for yourself!
