Mrs. Sonja and Mr. Zoran are the most attentive, responsive, and loving people and it was so obvious to us that they truly care about all of the children at SKL. We moved states so we unfortunately had to leave Sunny Kids Land but we would highly highly recommend it to anyone looking for childcare in Chicago - the care our child received there was unmatched and top of the line! Along with Sonja and Zoran, the teachers (Ms Helen, Ms Mily, and Ms Sofia) are also amazing and so dedicated to their work. It was a highlight of our day to pick our son up and hear enthusiastic and detailed reports of the day from all of the teachers. Everyone at SKL felt like family and we would not hesitate for a second to send our son there again. Gregory InglerightTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. As an Uptown family with three children we have broad experience with the preschools in the neighborhood. Sunny Kids Land Early Learning Center is our favorite of the three preschools our children have attended. Critical elements like curriculum, nutrition, communication, safety, social/ emotional development, community and care are all attended to with great intention and heart. Every kid deserves to grow in a place like Sunny Kids Land Early Learning Center and I recommend it without reservation. Rani STrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My family utilizes Sunny Kids Land when their regular daycare is closed for breaks and Jewish Holidays. If a faith-based education was not necessary for my kids, I would send them to this center full time. The owners are so thoughtful and communicate wonderfully. The space is light and fresh. They do a great job and I trust them with my babies. Ellen LezotteTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Sunny Kids Land has been amazing for us and our son! Ms. Sonja, Mr. Zoran, and all the staff are so attentive, kind, and loving! Their focus on building a community between staff, kids, and parents is amazing! We love getting so much information about his day, seeing photos, and having opportunities to connect with other families at their holiday parties and gatherings. Their communication is amazing and it’s such a relief knowing that our son is not only cared for physically, but also emotionally. We know he is truly happy there every day! He’s learned so much while at school, and the staff has really helped us navigate our first year of parenthood with so much great advice! We are so grateful for Sunny Kids Land!

We enrolled our infant at Sunny Kids Land and leaving this review is genuinely the least we can do for the amazing couple who run this center: Mrs. Sonja and Mr. Zoran. From the very first introduction, Mrs. Sonja was warm, thoughtful, and communicative in a way that was rare, compared to other providers we considered. Our kiddo is happy, cared for, stimulated and comes home with new skills every day. We never felt she is neglected --small class size ratios make the care really personal and like the SKL team is an extension of our family. When DCFS licensing delays created real uncertainty about their opening timeline (their Clark St. location is fantastic! they were a home-based center before they opened on Clark St.). She was honest with us every step of the way — never overpromised, kept us updated, and even reached out on Labor Day with a creative solution to keep our daughter's spot secured. That kind of initiative and genuine care for a family they hadn't even officially enrolled yet told us everything we needed to know. The care has been everything we hoped it could be. What also stood out: most centers in Chicago require a 5-day commitment for infants — SKL offered us a 4-day schedule without hesitation, which made an enormous difference for our family. And their rates are the best we found across every center we evaluated -- despite a world class operation. Mrs. Sonja and Zoran run something truly special here. Joseph AlexanderTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Our daughter started with Sunny kids at 3 months old and we have never worried about her while she is at daycare. Sonya, Zoran and the team are so kind, loving and knowledge about educating children. They care about the community of parents as well, hosting socials for the families to meet eachother a few times a year. We can’t sing their praises enough and couldn’t imagine sending our daughter anywhere else! Charles JohnstonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. It’s always tough when you’re looking for a daycare, but Sunny Kids Land is one of those special places that puts you at ease as a parent right away, knowing that your kids are going to be enrolling in the best daycare in Chicago. When you meet Sonja and Zoran and see the love and care they have put into making Sunny Kids Land as special of a place as it is, you too will feel a level of support that is usually exclusive to a parent. They don’t just provide enriching activities and learning environments to set up the kids for success (academically, socially, and emotionally) they provide a nurturing environment that you can only provide when you have a passion for childcare and a genuine love for the joy the laughter or children can bring. They provide consistent and constant updates and have standards of communication and health that is of the highest caliber. Our family is overwhelmingly fortunate to have found Sunny Kids Land and what makes us excited the most is how excited our LO is to “see my friends and teachers!” everyday! Zeljka LazicTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Sunny Kids Land has been amazing for our son. Zoran, Sonja and rest of the staff are wonderful, caring and so kind. He quickly adopted transitioning into a new environment and loves going each day now! At pick up time he often says “5 more minutes mom” that tells you how much fun he has there and loves his friends. Also, we have seen significant increase in his development. Daycare is brand new and very clean and upkept. They have healthy meals provided and a strong curriculum they follow working with the children. We love Sunny Kids Land and all the teachers there! Thank you for taking care of our little ones with such care and love. Jessica JohnsonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. SKL is truly the absolute best childcare you could ask for!! It is run by a mom and dad who make it feel like your child is being cared for by family while also offering beautiful, new classrooms and constant fun and learning activities. Ms. Sonja and Mr. Zoran are incredibly caring, thoughtful, organized and responsive to each child and family and will make sure your child is taken care of like their own. They are also staffed with kind, skilled and experienced teachers who make sure the kids have all their needs met with individualized care, supportive structure and engaging activities. We previously had our daughter in a bigger daycare and it felt like she was just warehoused there and they never learned her individual needs so she did adjust very well. We are SO blessed to have found SKL, first as a home daycare, and now in their nice new center. Our daughter immediately loved SKL and started thriving in their care because they were able to give her the individual nurturing and fun, developmental activities with peers she needs. They know her so well and always make sure she is doing well or communicate openly with us if there are any issues. Through every stage, they have supported her and us as a family with child development expertise and veteran, fellow-parent friendship. It means the world to us to know that she is in great hands every day where she is thriving and learning so much. We have very high standards for who is able to care for our daughter and could not recommend SKL enough! Rachel KlomstadTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Sunny Kids Land has been such a joy and relief for my husband and I as we were looking for somewhere to send our first baby after my leave ended. Mrs. Sonja and Mr. Zoran are incredibly kind, understanding, proficient and just truly caring. All the staff they have hired hold the same qualities and every day I drop my son off, I feel excited for him, knowing that he loves his time there with Ms. Mary and Ms. Sofija. My son was on track or even early hitting all of his milestones which I think speaks to the attention, intention, and individual care the SKL staff give to each of the kids in their care. For example, my son has been struggling with his second nap, but the SKL staff have been working very hard to help him fall asleep, going as far as rocking him for a full hour one day. I feel like I am a part of my son’s day with the updates I receive in the Brightwheel app including frequent photos and videos. We have joined a new family at Sunny Kids Land. I look forward to the family socials hosted at SKL and have built some sweet friendships with my son’s classmates’ families. I cannot recommend SKL enough!!!
Sunny Kids Land Early Learning Center is located on the borders of Ravenswood, Uptown and Andersonville, making it an excellent choice for families in the surrounding neighborhoods.
