Newly independent toddlers are ready to explore and discover with caring teachers at their side every step of the way. We understand that toddlers benefit from playing along with other toddlers and trusted adults. Opportunities for early learning abound in our creative, exploratory environment. Our toddlers will be mastering in walking, running, and other gross and fine motor skills to encourage their independence and socialization. Also with supervised free-play, your child will quickly understand the importance of sharing and taking turns with others in the classroom.
Our teachers provide a personalized experience for your children and build a sense of self while working on small and large muscle development, social and emotional development, and motor skills. Children will also develop self-help skills, such as eating, going to the bathroom, as well as learning confidence and independence. Teachers offer positive guidance as our toddlers move through each stage of development. Hands-on learning activities help your child develop beginning readiness skills. At this important stage, your toddler will explore the world of dramatic play, creative expression, art, music, socialization, and many more important skills and concepts.

We're new parents and had a difficult time deciding to send our daughter to daycare - particularly during the Covid-19 pandemic. We couldn't be happier with our decision, Kid's Future has been exceptional.
My daughter loved coming in to this loving daycare center every morning. Her insistence on giving goodbye hugs everyday to everyone is a testament to how caring and loving this place is.
We began sending our son to Kids Future in August 2020 when he was a year old. I have watched his language blossom during his time at daycare, and his social skills really develop.
My son has been attending Kids Future since he was 10 months old and he has grown tremendously during his time there. He runs into school every day with a smile on his face, excited to see his teachers and friends.
My family and I couldn't be happier with Kids Future. My son is so happy throughout the day and has learned so much. I see this daily throughout the day on their app.
Our daughter loved going to this daycare!! All the staff are super friendly, communicative, caring, helpful and also patient.
My two boys attended Kids Future full time for one year. I was consistently impressed with the quality of care my boys received. The teachers seem to really love the kids and the staff turnover is low which says a lot!
Kids Future is unlike any daycare you will find. We moved from Bucktown to Uptown and switched our son at one year's old. He fell in love immediately and Kids Future made the transition super easy for him and us!
