< 1 mi

I am a Certified Elementary School Art Teacher with 8 years experience; 4 years teaching in Montessori and 4 years running an in home Day Care and After School Program in my home. I have home schooled both of my children, my son is now in public school and I am continuing to home school my daughter. I am an extremely creative and hands on person; bringing crafts and music into every day. I am patient, consistent, orderly and I maintain a daily routine and rhythm. My home has been singularly devoted to the care of children for the past 8 years. I live on a quiet street, one block from the city park and neighborhood school. I have a large deck, fenced in yard and swing set. I have a sun filled play room stocked with engaging toys. I do not own a television and I do not believe in electronics for young children. I provide healthy, well balanced snacks and meals. Or you may bring your own food preferences. I enjoy keeping my day care small with only one or two families at a time. So your children will have all of the attention that they need. I have outstanding references! And I look forward to meeting you and your little ones!

I would love to have long term families and build relationships with them and the children. I would be willing to help anyone if short term or last minute care is needed.

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.

We are the "First TIme Camper" Specialists, our Discovery Camp is a nurturing program that is specifically designed for the child who has never been to sleepaway camp before. Our program is limited to less than 50 campers, all of whom are here for the first time. It is this attention to each child makes this program a success with nearly 93% of our campers wishing to return. Swift Nature Camp is for boys & girls ages 6-15. Our focus is to blend traditional summer camp activities while increasing a child's appreciation for nature, science and the environment. Our educational philosophy is to engage children in meaningful, fun-filled learning through active participation. We focus on a child's natural curiosity and self-discovery. This Outdoors Camp is NOT School. Our small size allows us to promote each child's personal development by providing fun, friendship and leadership in a supportive and noncompetitive environment. We build a child's character using our Tree of Values. Each cabin is named after a Value, such as, self-confidence, Teamwork, Leadership, Environmental Stewardship, and Persistence just to name a few. We believe the greatest part of camp is a child's personal development. No matter what skill level or interests your children have, Swift Nature Camp has activities that allows them to excel and enjoy. All activities are promoted in a nurturing, noncompetitive atmosphere, giving each camper the opportunity to participate and have fun, rather than worry about results. During our Explorer Camp (3wks) and Adventure Camp (6wks), campers participate in out-of-camp trips, such as biking, canoeing, backpacking and horse trips. This is the ultimate test of a camper's skill and knowledge. It's a reward to discover new worlds and be comfortable in them, whether the trip takes them down the Nemakagon River, a National Park Service Scenic River, or along the 1500 acre county forest contiguous to camp. These trips always create the best memories for our campers. ACTIVITIES INCLUDE . Swimming (Red Cross ranks and life saving) . Water skiing . Fishing . Sailing . Scuba Diving . Canoeing . Kayaking . Rollerblading (hockey) . Archery . Soccer . Camp Newspaper . Softball . Water Trampoline . Arts and Crafts (pottery, painting, leather craft) . Environmental Education . Astronomy . Geology . Animal Care . Animal Tracking . Life Cycles . Water Testing . Educational Tutoring . Volleyball
