Fantasy Land DayCare

We attended Fantasy Land for two years, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. This is truly the best preschool ever! The teachers are kind, caring, and incredibly smart — they create such a warm and supportive environment for the kids. The director Olga is absolutely wonderful, always attentive and professional. I highly recommend this daycare to every parent. If I have more children in the future, I will definitely choose this daycare again without a second thought!

Fantasy Land is truly the best place your child can be. The staff are not only professional and amazing at what they do they’re incredibly caring and nurturing. They don’t just watch your child; they help them grow, explore, and truly be themselves. I’ve seen my daughter from a whole new perspective since she started here. The patience, love, and attention they give her is beyond anything I expected. They’ve helped reveal hidden talents I didn’t even know she had, and I’m so grateful for the way they support and encourage her. A huge thank you to Olga and all the wonderful teachers at Fantasy Land — you’re changing little lives in the most beautiful way.

FANTASYLAND Daycare is truly a SECOND HOME for our family. Both of my sons have attended this daycare—my younger one is currently enrolled in Mini group, and my older son graduated from the Maxi group. This was the third daycare we’ve experienced because we had to relocate, and I can confidently say it’s absolutely the BEST one we’ve ever been part of. The teachers here are warm, caring, and have the biggest hearts and souls. They treat every child as if they were their own. Olga, the director, is an incredible human being with a heart of gold. She is deeply involved in every process and cares for every child. We love Olga so much—her dedication, warmth, and leadership make Fantasyland feel like a true community. What sets Fantasyland apart is the level of care and enrichment they provide: • EDUCATIONAL EXCELLENCE: The daily activities are incredibly creative and educational . From gardening and planting flowers to cooking smoothies and ice creams together, the kids are constantly engaged and learning. They cover such important topics like healthy eating, history , how to take care of our planet in addition to art and math classes. The daycare also follows weekly themes and incorporates creative, themed games and activities that keep the kids excited and engaged. • EXTRA CLASSES: They offer additional classes like Taekwondo, singing, and math, giving kids opportunities to explore their interests and talents. • UNIQUE ACTIVITIES: The daycare organizes amazing events and experiences for the children, such as foam parties, bounce houses, sports days, visits from the Lake Zurich Fire Department to show fire trucks and talk to the kids, ice cream making , flying kites, Hawaiian Parties and many more. They also hire animators for special events. These hands-on, fun activities provide both learning and joy for the kids. • HEALTHY MEALS: The meals are catered, made from scratch, and incredibly healthy . They provide extra portions when needed, ensuring my son’s and other kids do not leave hungry. • DAILY UPDATES and Communication via APP: The internal app keeps parents fully informed with photos ( 20-30+ pics a day ! ) , updates, and announcements. Seeing the kids’ activities and learning every day is so reassuring. You are not going to find anything like this in any other daycare. • FUN EVENTS: The beautifully organized concerts and seasonal celebrations are truly special, memorable and mind blowing , showing the incredible care and effort the staff puts into everything. • TIME OUTSIDE: The outdoor space is quiet, shaded, and full of trees, with a playground that gives kids the freedom to play safely. During the summer days some art and sport classes are held outside on the fresh air. • DEDICATED GYM : Fantasyland has separate gym area where kids play organized sport games and practice Taekwondo. My older son, now in 1st grade, still misses Fantasyland and considers it his second home. He especially misses Mrs. Olga ( director ) snd his other amazing teachers—Mrs. Larisa, Mrs. Olga, and Mrs. Varvara—who made such a lasting impact on him with their kindness and care. A special shoutout to my younger son’s amazing teachers—Mr. Nina, Mrs. Ulyana, and Mrs. Anna—who are kind, attentive, and have such BIG HEARTS. They, along with Mrs. Olga and the rest of the staff, make every day a joy for my kids. Fantasyland Daycare is a GEM. The love, care, creativity, and attention they provide are unmatched. We are so grateful to have found such a wonderful place where our kids feel SAFE, LOVED and truly at HOME ❤️

We are very happy with our experience at this daycare. The staff is warm, caring, and truly dedicated to the well-being and development of the children. Our child quickly felt comfortable and looked forward to going every day!!! The daily routine is well-structured, balancing play, learning, and rest. We especially appreciate the creative activities, outdoor time, and the focus on social and emotional development. Communication with the teachers has been excellent — they are always open to feedback and keep us updated on our child’s progress. We feel confident that our child is in a safe and nurturing environment. We highly recommend this daycare to other families looking for a positive and supportive early childhood experience!

Our family recently moved back to the area after 16 years abroad, and finding the right daycare for our two-year-old felt overwhelming. After visiting three other facilities, Fantasy Land DayCare Center was an absolute breath of fresh air. From our first visit, we were immediately struck by the warmth of the teachers who were actively engaging with the children, all with genuine smiles on their faces. The positive atmosphere was palpable and instantly told us this was the right place for our child. Our decision has been validated every day since. Our two-year-old is thriving and clearly well-cared for. The daily updates keep us connected to our child's activities, and Olga and her teaching staff have consistently been approachable, kind, and professional. The food program is another standout feature. They prioritize healthy ingredients that align with our home cooking style, so we have peace of mind knowing our daughter enjoys nutritious meals throughout the day. From creative daily art projects to adorable seasonal performances, they go above and beyond to create meaningful experiences for the children. We couldn't recommend Fantasy Land DayCare more highly. They've made our transition back to the area smooth and have provided our child with a nurturing, engaging environment that exceeds our expectations.
