Montessori Academy Of Chicago

A rigorous Montessori program, AMI certified and a wonderful community of parents and supporters. Started with this school 5 years ago and haven’t regretted it.

Thoughtfully engaged teachers/administration and wonderful community.

I was a student at MAC sense it opened and the environment was great but I was not ready for the real world after leaving the school and adjusting was really hard. Taking tests was a big difficulty for me and also receiving grades instead of passing no matter what. There was also one teacher that would squeeze children’s hands with a lot of pressure in order to hurt them as a punishment which was very unethical especially for kids that were in 1st grade.

My children learn so much. The staff are very hands on.

My daughter attended MAC for approximately 1 year and started at age 5.5 months.  MAC is so loving and nurturing and caring.  The facility is top notch, clean, bright, safe, stimulating and nurturing. I remember walking in for my first tour and thinking it was a baby oasis.  The children there are so calm and quiet.  The infant classrooms are led by trained Montessori teachers who truly got to know my daughter.  She absolutely loved her teachers and Spanish was her favorite part of the day. At a little over six months old my girl was drinking out of an open cup and being placed on a potty to encourage the familiarity of a toilet.  All of this was great stuff, but at the end of the day my daughter was truly loved and safe there. I felt good taking her each day.

It is by far the best daycare I have experienced and I have two children and have been through several daycares. The administration is extremely responsive.  If you have a problem, Fosca tries to solve it immediately.  The teachers get to your baby so well and really work with them.  The parents of all children at MAC are involved and know what is happening in the school.  If you are looking for a daycare in the Loop, I so highly recommend checking out MAC for your infant or toddler.  In my opinion, there is no comparison!
