More than 25 years taking care of your family's most valuable asset
Meet the people behind Choo Choo Train: a family committed to the well-being, safety and development of every child who walks through our door.
A story of love and vocation
Choo Choo Train Home Daycare Inc. was born out of a personal dream: to create a place where every child is treated with the same love and care they would receive in their own home. For over 25 years, our owner has made that dream a reality for hundreds of families in Chicago.
With a solid academic background - a university degree in education and child development - and years of experience in the field, she built a daycare that goes far beyond simple care: it is a learning home where children grow up safe, happy and prepared for life.
"Every child that comes to our door is a sacred responsibility. We care for them as if they were our own children."
Today, Silver Circle certified and fully licensed, we remain faithful to that first day: a bilingual environment (English and Spanish), personalized attention, and the commitment that every family will find in us a trusted ally.
Our Mission and Vision
The driving force behind every decision we make - from children's breakfast to the way we talk to families.
Bilingual Education
To provide excellent child care in a safe, bilingual, family environment, where each child - from 3 months to 12 years of age - receives personalized attention, early stimulation and the love necessary to develop fully, while their parents work with total peace of mind.
Bilingual Education
To be Chicago's daycare of choice for Hispanic and bilingual families looking for more than just care: a trusted educational partner that leaves a positive imprint on their children's lives and continues to grow in quality, service and community for the next 25 years.
