Join our Chicago preschool community of curious and compassionate learners.

We are The Trails School for Early Learning, a daycare and preschool nestled in Chicago’s Near North Side. Conveniently located for families in the Gold Coast, Old Town, and Lincoln Park, our center combines a Reggio Emilia-inspired, play-based curriculum with a bright, intentionally designed environment. We set children ages six weeks to six years old on a path of lifelong learning by treating them as capable, engaged young citizens.

Our teachers are passionate early childhood educators who forge nurturing, respectful relationships with families to educate the whole child. Whether you are seeking infant care, toddler programs, preschool or kindergarten readiness, our team is dedicated to providing a stimulating and enriching experience for your child and family.
