Ms. Kate's Tot Spot

22238 W Terry Dr. N. Lake Villa, IL

6 mi

My Name is Kate Simone and I have been working with children since the age of 16. I was born and raised in Lake Villa, Illinois and that is where I have chosen to raise my children and open my home day care. I have 2 sons Cole who is 17 and Lee who is 8. I started baby sitting when I was 16 as well as helping my older sister with her twin girls. I then got a job working at a daycare down the street and loved working with the younger children. When I became a junior in high school I began taking classes for the development and education of young child classes. This was even better as now I was involved in the school districts with the older children. I knew from then on that I would only be happy working with children. After I graduated high school in 2002 I got married and raised my children. Now that they are older I went back to school at the College of Lake County. At first I started with a certificate program until I realized I was learning so much about children and kept going. I have many certificates now including Early Childhood Education, Infant Toddler Specialist and Home Day Care certification. In the Fall of 2012 I will graduate with my Associates degree in Early Childhood Education. Throughout attending school I was working at a local public school as an aid in the Cafeteria for 2 years. I also am a Nanny and have been for over a year for some of the best kids you could ever meet. In January of 2012 while finishing up observation hours for one of my college classes I realized that children deserve better. Children deserve time and attention. These are things that I personally feel major centers lack as there are so many children in one space. Children are always rushed and told to do things and they never get time to just play and interact with other children. This is why in March 2012 I realized I could offer these things to children and their families right here out of my home. Group sizes are small, children have a routine but they get to play and interact on a daily basis and the care is affordable. I am flexible with families as much as possible and just have the best interest of the children and families in mind when planning activities, outings and food menus.

Miss Kim's Learning Ladder

2469 Cascade Court Wauconda, IL

6 mi

Miss Kim's Learning Ladder is a new in home day care center. In my home your child will receive exceptional care while having fun and learning! A day in my center includes play time, age appropriate crafts and lessons, healthy meals, naps, circle time, stories, silly song/dance time. I have over 10 years experience with working with children of all ages, 2 years experience in working in a preschool environment, and 2 years working for a company who manufactures and distributes educational tools and toys for children of all ages. I am also a mom, which is my favorite experience! I know and understand the frustrations in finding a good day care while you're away at work, I have been there as well as many close friends. This is why I decided to leave work, open my own certified day care center (with very affordable rates) where parents are confident their child is in great hands! I build lessons and goal sheets based on what YOUR needs are for your child(ren) and I work closely with you the parents on obtaining those goals (be it weaning, potty training, behavioral or just help learning basic age appropriate goals). I work on gross on fine motor skills in infants as well as preschoolers. In my home you can expect a small setting with few children. I do this so I can spend quality time with each child. In some cases less really is more! I feel that the more children you have in a center, the less you can guarantee safety, education and development! I am available Monday-Friday from 6am to 6pm, full-time as well as part time, and before and after school care. Please contact me to set up an in home meeting! Thank you, Kim
