8950 S. 84th Court Hickory Hills, IL

I've been doing in home childcare for a little over 16 years now and I am licensed through the state. Prior to my daycare career I was a teacher until I became a Mom! I was also the head of an after-school program for a local elementary school. I've worked in daycare, summer camps, summer school, basically any job that involves children. I have my degree with a certification in early childhood education. I started babysitting out of my home 16 years ago and love it. I've teamed up with my sister who is also a stay at home mom and comes to my house to help me out or to fill in for me. Teaming up with my sister has really worked out nice because she's my back up so you wouldn't ever have to worry about your sitter calling off with the two of us! We would treat your child as if he/she were our own. As a mother I know how hard it is to find childcare I've been there, especially trusting someone off the internet. Rest assure being a teacher in a public school I've been fingerprinted, background checked, and have a great reputation from my long term families I sit for! I charge $50/day for full time and $60/day for part time (2 or 3 days). I live in Hickory Hills very close to 294 & 55. Please email me if you'd like more information, I'd love to meet you and your little one:) Thanks

Imelda's Daycare

8 mi

2227 S. Elmwood Avenue Berwyn, IL

My Name is Imelda. I have two beautiful daughters; 13 & 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.
