Open Space Early Learning Center is a family-owned early childhood center in Chicago that offers full-day education and care for children ages 6 weeks to 5 years, enrolling year-round.
Open Space Early Learning Center is a family-owned program founded in 2019 that serves infants, toddlers and preschoolers. The center enrolls children year-round and operates on a full-day schedule.
The program uses a child-centered, play- and project-based curriculum influenced by Piaget and Vygotsky. Daily activities emphasise exploration, discovery and hands-on learning, with teachers observing children and designing projects from their interests.
Meals are provided through a partnership with Healthy Organic Kids, are prepared fresh, nut-free, and can be adapted for dietary restrictions. Infants follow individualized feeding schedules and families may bring labeled bottles; nursing and comfortable seating are available. Communication with families occurs regularly through Brightwheel, orientations, parent-teacher conferences and community events. Staff undergo background checks, are certified in CPR and First Aid, participate in emergency drills, and a nurse consultant visits the center monthly; building access is controlled by personalised key fobs.
Infant classrooms provide a home-like, individualized environment that follows each baby’s feeding, sleep and play rhythms and includes songs, books, sensory experiences and stroller walks. Staff coordinate closely with families and share daily updates via Brightwheel.
Toddler activities focus on autonomy and social development through circle time, guided and self-directed play, small-group activities, books, art and sensory play, indoor gross-motor time and outdoor nature walks.
Early Preschool emphasizes independence, social skills and project-based learning; teachers plan projects from children’s observed interests and provide activities such as small-group lessons, circle time, art, science and gross-motor play.
The Preschool classroom follows a structure similar to Early Preschool with a greater emphasis on school-readiness skills, cooperative play and classroom routines.
