the green bean is founded on the belief that children, families, and communities thrive through high-quality early childhood education.
The Green Bean Day School & Nursery is a nurturing, eco-friendly Chicago daycare for children ages six weeks through six years. Family-owned and operated since 2009, we are Chicago’s first Reggio Emilia–inspired early childhood education program. We proudly provide high-quality childcare and preschool education in a thoughtfully designed environment that fosters strong relationships among children, parents, and educators.
together, we question, investigate, collaborate, and learn.
Long-term projects and open-ended inquiry integrate language development, social studies, science, dramatic play, and creative expression, offering young children a learning environment that supports active exploration and discovery. Together, we question, investigate, collaborate, and learn. We see ourselves as educators, caregivers, and - above all -partners committed to working with families and supporting each child’s full potential in early childhood.
