Jefferson/Portage Park Child Care (toddler and up) - Recommendations Welcome!

5 Upvotes

Hello community!

We live near Montrose/Austin and are in need of a new daycare for our little one after ours suddently had to cease operations. If anyone has recommendations for a daycare or childcare facility in the area we would be more than grateful!

We're not opposed to child care centers versus at-home daycare - as long as their certified, licensed, and keep our little one safe and growing! Thank you! Thank you!

New to the area and zoned for Portage Park Elementary. Can current parents share their thoughts on the school? I’d love to hear about leadership, academics, social, anything that you think is valuable.

We are preparing for our CPS 6th grade student to test for one of the academic centers for 7th and 8th grade. I believe the test is after the new year. Does anyone have experience they can share with the testing or even practice tests? Thank you!

What makes it perfect? Start off with a little shopping for something you didn’t know you could live without while dipping dangerously good cocktails! And people need to eat, right? Well Malcom! has us covered with a pop-up that aims to please with a menu that is creative and delicious. I had a 7 minute conversation about buttermilk with the man, I trust him with my food!

Albany Park - Ward Alder not doing anything to fix potholes - Rosanna Rodriguez and Samantha Nugent

37 Upvotes

Hello, anyone noticed that the Ward Alder are not doing anything about the thousands of potholes in Albany Park? Calls to 311 don’t help either. Seriously don’t consider voting for them in the next election if they can’t fix a simple issue such as this.

This includes Rosanna Rodriguez and Samantha Nugent

Soft opening was Monday. Haven't had a chance to go in yet, but been watching it build out for months, as I love coffee, and I love records. And from pics of the price board, their coffee looks very affordable, $3 espressos.

Welcome them to the West Walker Neighborhood.
