Welcome to Barnette
Located in the heart of Chicago's Bucktown neighborhood, Barnette Academy is a full-day childcare center where curiosity, confidence, and connection thrive. We care for children ages 6 weeks through 5 years.
Rooted in a whole-child philosophy, our hands-on, play-based approach supports each child’s growth in a safe, engaging environment.
Falling Leaves & Growing Minds
This fall at Barnette, our students will experience the changing season with brisk neighborhood walks, outdoor play, and plenty of opportunities to observe the colorful changes happening all around us.
We currently have full-time and part-time spots available. Take the first step toward joining our vibrant, year-round learning community.
Your Community Daycare and Preschool
We are so happy to welcome families from nearby Wicker Park to Logan Square, Humboldt Park, Avondale, and beyond.
Our vision is to guide children through their early years to prepare them both intellectually and socially for the world ahead of them.
