Our flagship location in the downtown Chicago area spans nearly 13,000 square feet and is at the corner of W Randolph St. and Elizabeth St. We are easily accessible by car or transit, and have a 15-minute standing zone for parents to use during pick-up and drop-off.
Inside you’ll find spacious classrooms with large windows that let in plenty of natural light, educational and age-appropriate toys, and a gross motor room where children can get physically active during inclement weather. We also have password-protected webcams that let caregivers check in on their children throughout the day.
Outside is a beautiful playscape with lots of materials and equipment that help children meet their physical movement needs. The space is fenced in near the back of the building so that children have a quiet place to play.
Our 8 classrooms can accommodate 118 children from 6 weeks to 12 years old in the Infant, Toddler, Preschool, and School Age programs. For children under 6 years old, the programs are available on a part-time, full-time or back-up care basis. School Agers are welcome to our Summer Camp program that operates when school is out of session.
At Kids & Company, we use an emergent curriculum and learn-through-play philosophy. This means children are presented with learning opportunities in direct response to their individual interests and skills. Our children are immersed in experiences that enhance language, literacy, a sense of music and rhythm, and socialization so that they may develop independence, confidence and a positive sense of self and the world around them.
Children are provided with a hot lunch and 3 snacks each day, catered by our Kidco Kitchen. The Kidco Kitchen is founded on a fresh-from-scratch philosophy and our food contains no additives, preservatives, artificial flavours or colours. Learn more here.

My name is Janae Rogers and I am the Center Director at Kids & Company Chicago West Loop. I have a Masters in Education with a specialization in Early Childhood Education. I’ve been with Kids & Company since 2016 and in the child care field for over 7 years. My favorite thing about working with Kids & Company is the opportunity to meet all new types of people. We are a family-oriented center that works for the children. We enjoy watching our little ones grow into amazing individuals. In my spare time, I love reading books, spending time with my dog and my 2 nephews. I am very family-oriented so most of my time is spent with my family. At Kids & Company, I enjoy how much fun we can have on any given day! The center parents are truly amazing and such a good support system. We are like one big family! Now that you know more about me, I would love to meet you. Stop by our Chicago West Loop center for a chance to see how Kids & Company can provide quality care and education for your child!
Kids & Company’s Infant program welcomes newborns up to roughly 18 months. Infants learn about the world around them through their senses, so exploration is critical to their development. Nurturing educators support the children while they take in their surroundings, encouraging them to experience everything the classroom offers; be it creative art, exploring with blocks, listening to songs or engaging in story-time. Our infant program encourages children to follow their own established routines, while becoming comfortable and secure in a new group setting.
Kids & Company’s Toddler program is for children between the ages of roughly 18 months and 2.5 years. Toddlers are mobile and eager to explore their environment. As they strive for independence, our educators use an Emergent curriculum approach to learning that supports each child’s individuality. Some of the most important learning outcomes of our toddler program are language development, socialization, self-help skills, and the development of fine and gross motor skills.
Kids & Company’s Preschool program is designed for children between the ages of roughly 2.5 - 5 years. Our educators interact, observe and interpret the interests of our children to encourage discoveries. Our Preschool program provides a foundation for developing greater independence and problem-solving skills; the program integrates new concepts into our children’s world view, promotes sharing and mutual respect, and prepares them for Kindergarten.
Summer Camp is the perfect combination of discovery, friendship, and play. School Agers look forward to returning each summer to engage in all kinds of activities, from soccer to jeopardy, aquarium dioramas to local field trips, and so much more.
