Child Care Encouraging Curiosity and Learning in Chicago, IL
We are proud to serve West Town and the surrounding neighborhoods of Chicago. We provide Montessori-based infant care and toddler care, and also offer a full-day preschool program for children up to age six. At Montessori Magpie, children are encouraged to explore the world around them in a safe and carefully curated environment through open-ended, hands-on experiences that help support problem-solving and critical thinking.  Through these experiences, children learn to communicate and interact with others in a way that supports language & cognition, physical, and social-emotional development as they learn and grow into their full potential.

A Destination
We are delighted to offer exceptional child care for children ages 6 weeks to 6 years old. Montessori Magpie goes beyond the typical daycare experience by providing a relaxed, play-based approach that is simultaneously an intellectually stimulating experience that supports the healthy development of each child. Our school’s innovative blend of Montessori and Reggio Emilia-inspired approaches takes the best of both highly respected early childhood educational approaches to create the best possible experience for the young child. In doing so, Montessori Magpie encourages a child's natural curiosity and deepens his or her engagement with the world.
