At our schools, we provide unique, supportive, and respectful environments that nurture the spirit of your child. With over 40 years of combined experience and dreams, we founded these schools to build peaceful learning communities for children and adults. The main objectives of our schools are to provide a carefully planned, stimulating environment which will help children develop within themselves the foundational habits, attitudes, skills, and ideas which are essential for a lifetime of creative thinking and learning. When engaged in well-structured tasks, the students experience a deep inner satisfaction which leaves them with an overall positive attitude toward learning. We embrace the philosophy put forth by Dr. Maria Montessori and believe with consistent, authentic methodology, we are able to cultivate a meaningful and rewarding school experience for your child. A Montessori education provides the necessary ingredients that meet and exceed the academic, social, emotional, spiritual, and academic challenges of early childhood. Skills of independence, self-discipline, problem-solving and a secure foundation of early academic knowledge develop spontaneously within a beautiful, calm, and loving classroom environment. Our unique settings change ordinary classroom experiences to collaborative communities filled with curiosity and a lifelong love of learning. We understand that your child’s education is centered in his family life. Active partnering through parent education events, lectures, conferences, special holiday events, and parent-child field trips are greatly encouraged. We foster a supportive environment which not only nurtures the spirit of your child but endeavors to facilitate an active partnership between school and home. We are here to provide support, education, and encouragement to help you meet your family’s goals.

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!

In-Home daycare
Hi! I'm Melanie, and I run Blue Sky Daycare, my warm and inviting in-home daycare. I've been involved in child care for more than ten years, and I'm still learning new things from the children in my care every day. I love to pull from a broad spectrum of educational theories to create lessons that nuture each child as an individual, and I'm especially drawn to the gentle, rhythmical practices of Waldorf education. My love for childcare began during babysitting experiences in high school. From there, I was inspired to get a B.A. in Childhood Education from the State University of New York, and during my time in New York State, I worked as a preferred substitute teacher in the Saranac Central School District. I married, and my husband and I moved to Illinois where I had the excellent opportunity to be a substitute teacher in Libertyville School District 70. After the birth of my first child, I began working as a lead teacher at KinderCare, where I worked with infant and toddler groups. I opened my home to care for children in 2010, and Blue Sky Daycare has been a great place for kids to learn and grow ever since. I continue to follow research in the field of Early Childhood and enjoy attending conferences and reading professional articles to keep a current understanding of best practices in the childcare realm.
