STEM Studio
Private
Early-childhood STEM enrichment studio at 400 W Talcott Rd in Park Ridge, serving children ages 2-8 with hands-on engineering challenges, science experiments, sensory exploration and creative crafts. Sessions are short: open drop-off runs 12:00-3:00pm on select days at $40 per day, rather than a full-day summer camp. The owner and head teacher is a licensed elementary educator with an early-childhood minor, and the space is also rented for birthday parties, Girl Scout events, playgroups and homeschool pods.

★★★★★Katie KeyserOur daughter loves STEM studio. She missed the preschool cut off by a few days this year so we decided to enroll her. It has been perfect for her as most of the kids are in her age range. The teachers are great communicators and the activities are engaging and fun.
★★★★★Monica HannanWe’ve been at STEM Studio for about 3 months. So far, we are loving it. Our son gets enrichment and he always comes home w crafts and workbook pages completed. We get pictures and updates throughout the day. The studio is always clean and well set up. The teachers are sweet with the kids and the parents. STEM is a great resource for our community.
★★★★★Becky McCallum⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ My child has been thriving since starting at STEM Studio Park Ridge a year ago! The teachers are incredibly caring and attentive, and the small class sizes mean each child gets true 1:1 attention. We’ve seen such a boost in our child’s confidence, curiosity, and love of learning. The 8am–12pm schedule is perfect for our family, giving kids a strong start to the day with plenty of time for play and rest in the afternoon. We couldn’t be happier with our experience—STEM Studio is a hidden gem in Park Ridge!
★★★★★Caitlin GraneyWe absolutely love STEM Studio for our 3 year old daughter! From the very first day, Annika and her staff made us feel completely at ease. They are warm, professional, transparent and genuinely care about each child’s well-being and development. Our daughter lit up every morning when we arrived and loved telling us about her day at pick-up. The staff are so sweet and you can tell they truly love their job and their passion for working with kids. I always enjoy chatting with them at drop off and pick up! The environment is clean, safe, and filled with engaging activities that nurture learning and creativity. They go above and beyond to provide a balanced mix of structured learning, play, and emotional support. Communication is excellent—we always felt informed and involved in her daily experiences. Loved getting pictures during the day of her enjoying activities! Watching our daughter grow, thrive, and come home happy each day has been such a gift. We’re so grateful to have found STEM Studio that feels like an extension of our family. Cant wait to send our next kiddo there when he’s old enough! Highly, highly recommend!!
★★★★★Jeannette MilkowskiSTEM Studio is such a gem in our neighborhood. This is an amazing option for preschool programs and open drop off sessions. The staff is incredible! The space is open and airy, and everything is perfectly laid out and organized. My 5 years old son had a blast here, and he cannot wait to come back!
