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.
Spring Into a Season of Growth!
As we welcome spring, our school continues to grow and evolve following our one-year milestone. Children enjoy weekly yoga to build balance and focus, expressive art and music experiences, and more time outdoors as we watch our neighborhood bloom together. Each day is filled with opportunities to explore, learn, and connect.

We currently have full-time and part-time spots available. Fill out a form below to connect with us!

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.
