At Advance, we feel all children have individual worth and potential. We strongly believe that our diverse culture enriches our community and promotes acceptance and empathy. Because we believe each child is born with unique gifts, we daily encourage our students to achieve their highest potential. We focus on self-confidence, effort and determination as these are the first skills needed to develop a successful individual. We lovingly try to provide social, emotional and relational support as children need to feel safe before they can learn. We respect and believe that the family is the most important part of the child’s development. “You are your child’s first teacher” resonates within our environment. Our job is not to replace or challenge you, but to come along side you to learn how we can best support your family. A community benefits when people are willing to contribute to the well being of others. It is our goal to be a positive part of our community. We chose to contribute to our students and their families by providing an environment of respect and dignity. At Advance we feel that a quality education expands opportunities for growth and enhances life. As a director, I hope to encourage my staff to provide engaging and purposeful pathways to students academic growth. An Advance education means cultivating resourceful, resilient children through social emotional learning. I look forward to working and growing with you and your family. Kimberly Bianchini

My state licensed day care home - Brookdale Home Day Care- provides a loving, nurturing and educational environment for children ages 6 weeks to 5 years. After 12 years as a teacher and school administrator, I realized that the first years of learning are crucial and wanted to make these first steps to education count by bringing teaching out of the classroom and into a home environment. I care for children 6 weeks to 5 years of age. My home is conveniently located near Route 59 Metra train station, PACE bus stops and I-88. I am Infant &amp; Toddler CPR/AED/First Aid certified and an Illinois Gateways to Opportunity Professional Development System member and a participant in the Illinois Board of Education's &quot;Child and Adult Care Food Program.&quot; For more about the great child care that we provide and special services (before &amp; after school programs and beginner Spanish lessons), please visit our website or send us an email message.
