Supporting All Learners through Differentiation and Scaffolding
Learning Self-Assurance Through Doing
Empathy, Sympathy, and Problem-Solving
Our staff lead by example, fostering the development of social-emotional skills such as sympathy, teamwork, and problem-solving. By introducing social emotional concepts as early as our infant classrooms, we create a culture of mutual respect and understanding that encourages kind cooperative interactions.
Open-Ended Process-Based Learning
Developed Learning Themes and Classroom Environments
Diverse Enrichments Included For Well-Rounded Learning
Your child’s tuition includes language and movement enrichments that give them a well-rounded experience and build crucial mind-body connections. Daily infant/toddler signing in the classroom, weekly Spanish lessons with Ms. Yesensia, Buddha Belly Yoga, and music with Ms. Elisa from Wee Groove, enhance their cognitive development.
A Well Documented Day
Our teams utilize a blend of tools that comfortably document each child’s daily learning activities as well as feeding, sleeping, and elimination information. The use of the Brightwheel parent communication app allows for daily shares of both photos and anecdotal student participation snippets.
Video Camera Monitoring
Video cameras are used to monitor and record our classrooms and other shared spaces of the building. These recordings are available as needed for safety. Knowing the classrooms are closely observed provides parents with additional peace of mind.

Our Parent Reviews
Our Founders
Sarah Cudnik, Owner & Executive Director
With a Master’s Degree in Elementary Education, and eight years of primary classroom teaching experience, Sarah has an extensive knowledge of early childhood curriculum and a wealth of creative ideas.
“I grew up in my Mom’s in-home daycare, the original Kids’ Work, and believe that children learn best when they are loved, supported, and provided with the opportunity to explore the world around them. Kids’ Work Chicago was born out of a wish to maintain my career as an educator, have a family, and spend as much time with my children as my mom spent with me.”
Lynda MacHaila, Owner
Lynda’s nurturing personality and hands-on approach towards learning have provided a secure and enlightening environment for many generations of children and parents. As the original founder of Kids’ Work, Lynda has provided licensed care for a little over thirty years.
“Helping children explore and learn in a hands-on environment brings me happiness and I’m committed to the continued growth and evolution of Kids’ Work Chicago. It is here that we’ll learn something new and laugh every day and in doing so, we’ll change the world.”
