By nurturing the principles of curiosity, preparation, independence, discipline, and confidence in children, we supply them with all they need to develop natural skills and talents. Ultimately, Casa dei Bambini Montessori of Mayfair instills into young learners the lessons of a well-structured, happy life.

Hello! I am a childcare provider and preschool teacher serving families on the northwest side of Chicago and its close surrounding suburbs. Within the last 20 years I have also taught dance, lead after-school theater groups, lead parent and tot classes and was a Sunday school teacher. I care for children ages six weeks to five years old. I am licensed with two full time teaching assistants. My home environment is a safe, clean, nurturing place where your child can thrive and grow. It is important to me that your child feels like my daycare is their &quot;home away from home&quot;, so the majority of my house is utilized for your child's sense of security and comfort. On the lower level your child will love our big play/classroom that is filled with learning toys and fun activities! I also have a cozy nursery on the main level for infants and a big enclosed backyard for exploration and play! I am excited to be adding a new music and movement room soon too! Being blessed to raise three daughters of my own I can understand how challenging it can be for working parents to balance all of their commitments and responsibilities. For this reason I strive to offer a program that will enrich your child's whole development while putting your mind at ease. Reading, music, creative movement, gardening, cooking, art projects, fun, and learning are a regular part of our daily routine. Healthy meals and snacks are also provided daily. I believe that my home daycare should be a place where you feel confident and comfortable leaving your child each day. Your little one will be cared for with the utmost kindness, love and respect. My current and former families love the &quot;family&quot; feel that they and their children receive while in my care. I look forward to hearing from you and answering more questions as you make one of the biggest decisions in the life of your child. Thank you for your time and consideration!

My Name is Imelda. I have two beautiful daughters; 13 &amp; 8 years old. I have 8 years of working in a Daycare setting. I decided to obtain my DCFS license to open a home daycare to provide the highest quality childcare, through a combination of education, experience, a positive attitude and most importantly the love for children. I offer English and Spanish Language and we believe in respecting any family culture and beliefs, giving them the opportunity to feel free to share or give any comments or ideas. My home daycare is a safe and happy place where parents can trust and children can learn and grow physically, emotionally, intellectually and socially at their own pace with the positive guidance of adults. I believe that each child is an individual with his own special interests and abilities, and children learn by doing what comes naturally through play! My Program Mission: is to assist and support working parents and their families. Specializing in the education of 6 weeks-12 years old by providing an environment that is welcoming, secure, nurturing, educational and fun for their children My Curriculum: Our program is licensed by the State of Illinois. I use the Creative Curriculum; it focuses on social emotional, physical, cognitive, and language development. The components of the curriculum are applied in different learning areas: art, library, discovery, sand and water, music and movement, blocks, dramatic play, and outdoors activities. Staff: I am educated in early childhood education and CPR and First Aid. We are experienced and caring individuals that love working with children and their families. Nutrition: I provide nutritionally balanced meals and snacks for the well being of the children. We offer Full Day, Half Day and Before and After School. My Goals: Provide an atmosphere that is appealing, secure,comfortable, friendly, and nurturing for children to learn and socialize. Give affection, support, and trust to the families in the program. Create a learning environment through play. Guide children in development of appropriate social interaction so they can be socially competent.
