Engaging and Hands-On Curriculum
The best of Waldorf, Montessori, and Reggio Emilia early learning philosophies, create engaging, theme-based learning focusing on the interests of your child. We develop hands-on experiences that immerse your child in a world of activities designed to develop their highest learning potential.
Every Moment Is a Learning Moment
At Kids’ Work, we like to take advantage of typical everyday interaction. Utilizing these “teachable moments” allows for the natural and authentic development of important social, emotional, cognitive, and physical early learning skills.

An Early Start to School Success
In utilizing Teaching Strategies Creative Curriculum, our educators develop standards-based learning environments designed around rich themes of interest. Early reading, writing, and math readiness skills are introduced within a hands-on experiential setting. Learning Without Tears is also introduced at this point, providing additional early exposure to the building block of future learning.
NIPSA Accreditation – a Mark of Excellence
Kids’ Work Chicago Riverview is proud to be accredited by NIPSA (National Independent Private School Association). The organization surveyed our school in 16 different areas, from philosophy, curriculum, organization, safety, and staff to student services, parent community, our building, finances, and more. The visiting delegates were so impressed with the teachers and their interactions with the children, the parents’ positive reviews of the school, and our “meticulously maintained early childhood program.” We are so proud and so grateful for our Kids’ Work community and are so happy to hold this mark of distinction!

Your child’s well-rounded education includes weekly 25-minute Spanish lessons from Lango Chicago, Buddha Belly Yoga, music with Ms. Elisa from WeeGroove, and classes with All About Dance. Their communication and motor skills soar, at no extra cost to you.

Daily Artistic Activities Let Their Creativity Shine
Healthy Family Style Meals
We subscribe to the family-style meal concept, which allows teachers and children to eat together in a relaxed environment. Our catering company, Healthy Organic Kids offers refined meal plans exposing your child to a wide variety of fresh fruits and vegetables while helping in the development of a healthy and varied palate.
Regular Communication Updates
Added Support for Parents
We’re here to help with all the little things, so don’t worry. Once your child shows signs of readiness, we guide parents through the potty training process. In the meantime, we provide all diapers, wipes, and ointments as well as lotion and sunscreen.
Safety Comes First
The health and safety of our students is our highest priority. Staff members are kept up to date on their first aid and CPR trainings. Our locations are safe and secure featuring monitored and recorded security cameras. All exterior doors are locked for added safety, and use of KISI Keyless Entry System allows only for the entry of families and authorized staff members.
Our Parent Reviews
"Kids’ Work brought light back to our son’s face"
Kids’ Work provides a warm, safe, and enriching environment that not only accepts but values the unique nature of each child. Kids’ Work brought light back to our son’s face after a difficult experience at another preschool. When I told the staff at Kids’ Work that he still had accidents and wasn’t completely potty-trained, fully expecting to be scolded as we were at our previous school, the response was, “of course he does, he’s only three!” I knew right then it would be a wonderful fit not only for our son, but for us as parents.
"They share pics of my kid multiple times of the day"
The only place I've visited where I think they take better care of my kid than I could do on my own! They share pics of my kid multiple times of the day and provide a level of stimulation and social interaction that I simply could not do myself. She has already learned so much. I wish I could be there to learn some of the songs myself and splash in the sensory table. One of the best decisions we ever made for our child, and for us.
"The entire staff is truly invested in each child"
We started our daughter here when she was 3, and we were so incredibly happy with the experience. She attended part-time, but even though we weren't there but a couple days a week, we felt part of the Kid's Work family. The entire staff is truly invested in each child, and our daughter loved her friends and teachers. The projects and daily play immediately engaged her in and out of the classroom. Our daughter is now at our neighborhood school, but we started our son there. He is enjoying it just as much!
