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 Winter of Learning Awaits!
As the season shifts to winter, our students will embrace a time of meaningful learning, creativity, and connection. From weekly yoga sessions that build balance and focus to vibrant art projects and music classes that spark self-expression, every week is filled with opportunities to explore, learn, and grow together.
We currently have full-time and part-time spots available for children ages 2–5. Fill out a form below to connect with us.

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.
