Living The Language (South Loop)

I cant say enough about LTL. Theyve taken phenomenal care of my 6 month son and have developed him so much in a short period of time. Theres truly nothing like it. From sensory massages, to activities like painting and core strengthening, I cant imagine a better curriculum for a newborn. Were so glad this place exists!

I have two sons age 5 (Kindergarten -South Loop) and 3 (Grand Nido-Bronzeville) and we are so grateful for an institution like LTL that provides such exceptional care for our sons. They are competitively educated, safe, respected and most importantly TriLingual here at Living The Language. Weve had experience with another daycare center that was far less caring. They have been a great part of my familys support system

What's not to love about a great place for learning, with multiple languages, small groups, caring families, and a true respect for diversity and multicultural practices. The teachers are fantastic educators and my daughter has started to read and write in Spanish before the age of 4. French and English will follow soon now that she has a foundation for reading and writing. We did our homework looking for a true international education in Chicago and do not hesitate to recommend LTL. We applied almost a year in advance so get on the waiting list ASAP. The location is small but the children are very active indoors and outdoors when the weather allows. My daughter enjoys all the frequent celebrations of children and cultures. We appreciate all the strict pandemic protocols and have experienced minimum disruptions.

Amazing, amazing, amazing. My wife and I struggled to find a daycare for our first child that offered a foreign language and blessed we found Living the Language. We've spent time overseas and understand the benefits of a second language. Living the Language not only offers Spanish and French, but are very serious about their curriculum. Sandra the owner is amazing (speaks 6 languages) and employs amazing international and local teachers with master degrees in early childhood and education; and who love to work with children. We now have two children with Living the Language. Our three year old understands and translates French and Spanish for us non-speakers. He also reading and writing in multiple languages. Our two year understands and follows orders and speaks a little of both. I've had friends test our children since we aren't fluent and they all have been impressed. Our children are thriving and we appreciate the diversity of the classroom and the camaraderie and communication with the teachers and other parents during the pandemic.

We started our daughter at LTL in the Moyen Nido room. She is now in the Grand Nido room and we have loved every day she has been at LTL. The staff and teachers love the kids as if they are family and provide wonderful support to the family as a whole. We love that the school is small and feels like a tight-knit community of parents and children that will create lasting friendships. The academic program at LTL is top-notch. Our daughter is fluent in Spanish and is becoming fluent in French as well. The teachers do a great job of integrating rigorous academics while having so much fun. We couldnt imagine a better gift to give a child than the gift of love and language. The school has done a tremendous job in handling the pandemic by continually having parent zoom meetings with doctors and social workers present to provide support and answer questions on safety. The teachers have also done very well at adjusting to virtual classes. We couldnt ask for more and are so grateful we found LTL!
