Palos Park Episcopal Daycare & Learning Center

I called to see about day care for my two children. I’m not sure who answered the phone. I could not here her. Someone was using profanity very loudly. When the woman answered the phone. I heard the f word and more. The woman who answered the phone said shhh. Be quiet Michelle I’m on the phone. I promptly hung up.

My daughter has been here in the part time program (preschool) for two years and will be starting her third in the fall. My son will now be joining her.
My daughter is always so excited to go off to school! She is happy, learning new things, trying new foods (in half day programs it includes snack and lunch!), making new friends… The staff is always helpful and friendly and truly seem to care, and the classrooms are large.
This year they started a teacher-​parent messaging system using an app, so I get to hear from the teachers how each day was about 15 minutes after I pick her up! They send pictures with it too.
PPED is a great place to send your little ones!

Absolutely the best! My 2-​year-​old son started preschool this year at PPED. I couldn’t ask for a more friendly and loving environment for him, and he looks forward to preschool every day. PPED is very accommodating; you can choose to bring your kids any combination of weekdays, not just a set MWF or TR schedule. They offer full-​day childcare, and are always happy to keep my son all day on days when we have other commitments and need childcare. PPED offers preschool for 2-​year-​olds and they even help with potty training! Also, my son has a healthy snack and a full hot lunch before pickup, so he can come home and get his nap in on time.
Aside from all the perks mentioned above, the staff here really love and care about the kids. Everyone always has a smile on their face, and they truly seem excited to see my son every morning. Kids can pick up on this pretty fast, and it doesn’t take more than a second for him to have a big smile on his face and run right to one of his teachers. Leaving such a young child with someone else can certainly be stressful, but I feel great knowing that my child is being cared for by people who have earned my trust and really care about his well being. We are so lucky to have found PPED. Thank you all!
