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.
A Summer of Discovery Awaits!
This summer at Barnette our students will have water days at local parks, take walks along the 606, and have weekly organically crafted brown-bag picnics.
​
​We currently have full-time and part-time spots available. Take the first step to join our vibrant, year-round learning community by filling out an inquiry below.
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.
