Detour 2 Discovery Day School

Day Care

Detour 2 Discovery Day School is a downtown Chicago child development child care center offering complete day care services in a safe, caring environment. We encourage independent thinking, curiosity, exploration, and discovery through developmentally appropriate curriculum, materials and methods. Every child is provided high quality care and an exceptional educational program; within a warm, secure, nondiscriminatory environment.

Our dedicated faculty of skilled and certified teachers strives to help each child reach their highest potential. The environment is stimulating and challenging, providing children with basic techniques and skills for the development of self discipline. We provide a fun environment, where play is valued as a learning experience! We also believe in giving free choice in certain activities to help develop decision-making and other independent skills. Most of all, we pride ourselves on providing a nurturing and consistent environment where children feel safe and at home. Our students thrive, both in our school and when they leave. Read more

    My daughter attended Detour for 2 years starting at 6 months until 2.5 years old. Throughout the years we had consistently fantastic experience with the directors and each of my daughters teachers. ... I highly recommend Detour to any family seeking a nurturing/caring environment with outstanding curriculum. Unfortunately, we moved out of the Chicago area otherwise we would have stayed until my daughter reached kindergarten! Thank you Detour!!

    My daughter attended here since 6 month till 3 yr. It's a school that feel like home, filled with love, passion, hugs and laughter. ... In addition, most teachers would proactively communicate to parents about high and lows of the kid during pickup. We did shop around all the dayschool in southloop and we are happy with our choice and would highly recommend to all friends.

    I was lucky enough to find Detour 2 Discovery Day School on Yelp and want to make sure others know how amazing this place is. ... I know many families who have moved out of the area but continue to bring their children to Detour because it is so great. We plan to stay as long as possible because I know my kids deserve endless hugs and excitement - and the Detour staff delivers!

    Hands Down....Best place in the Chicago loop area. ... We are so happy we chose D2D and we absolutely love Ms. Jeni and Mr. John, the owners and executive directors. Ms Audra, who is also a site director, is great, too. We think the entire staff is committed and loving and we feel lucky to be a part of this place!
