Join our community of endlessly curious, compassionate young citizens

We’re the Trails School for Early Learning. Nestled between Chicago’s Gold Coast, Old Town, and Lincoln Park neighborhoods, our program combines a Reggio-inspired, play-based curriculum with a bright, intentionally designed environment to set children ages six weeks to six years old on the path to lifelong learning.

Our teachers and staff are passionate early childhood professionals who forge nurturing, mutually respectful relationships with students and families in order to educate the whole child.
