We love Penny Lane! My son has been attending since he was 2 years old, and now he’s in the before- and after-school program—and still loves it. The staff truly feels like family, and I always know he’s in good hands when I drop him off. The teachers are wonderful, and he’s made great friends along the way!

We have two boys, ages 2 and 3, enrolled at Penny Lane School, and we couldn’t be happier with our experience. From the moment we toured the school, the staff have been warm, professional, and genuinely attentive to each child’s needs.

The curriculum is engaging and age-appropriate, balancing learning with play. Our boys are developing social skills, independence, and creativity in a nurturing environment. The teachers are patient, caring, and communicate regularly with parents about progress and milestones.

Safety and cleanliness are clearly priorities, and the facilities are well-maintained and designed with young children in mind. It’s also clear that the staff truly enjoy working with children, which makes a huge difference in the energy and enthusiasm of the classroom.

Overall, Penny Lane School has been a wonderful place for our boys to grow, explore, and learn. We highly recommend it to any parent looking for a caring, structured, and fun early learning environment.

We have been so happy with our decision to send our daughter to Penny Lane in Oak Lawn. The teachers and the staff are incredibly caring, kind and very patient. I have been impressed with the curriculum. We are grateful for the way the teachers and staff helped our daughter transition each time she was moved to a new age based classroom. I can honestly say that Penny Lane created a little social butterfly within our daughter! I also really appreciate the safety measures for drop off and pick up.

I have been sending my daughter to the Oak Lawn location since she was 6 weeks old. She is now about 1.5 years old. I think it's a great place and have had no major issues with them at all to date. The teachers truly seem to care about the children and the program is not just about watching your kids but teaching them as well which I find to be extraordinary at such a young age. I will happily be sending my child and future children there for daycare.
