At Advance, we feel all children have individual worth and potential. We strongly believe that our diverse culture enriches our community and promotes acceptance and empathy. Because we believe each child is born with unique gifts, we daily encourage our students to achieve their highest potential. We focus on self-confidence, effort and determination as these are the first skills needed to develop a successful individual. We lovingly try to provide social, emotional and relational support as children need to feel safe before they can learn. We respect and believe that the family is the most important part of the child’s development. “You are your child’s first teacher” resonates within our environment. Our job is not to replace or challenge you, but to come along side you to learn how we can best support your family. A community benefits when people are willing to contribute to the well being of others. It is our goal to be a positive part of our community. We chose to contribute to our students and their families by providing an environment of respect and dignity. At Advance we feel that a quality education expands opportunities for growth and enhances life. As a director, I hope to encourage my staff to provide engaging and purposeful pathways to students academic growth. An Advance education means cultivating resourceful, resilient children through social emotional learning. I look forward to working and growing with you and your family. Kimberly Bianchini

I am DCFS licensed and a CPR/First Aid certified child care home. Does your child deserve the love and attention I can give? After having my own children in home day care and never feeling completely comfortable, I opened my home to families as a day care provider. I am an extension of your family. My house is a second home to your child. Your child will eventually feel as comfortable in my home as he is in yours. As a DFCS licensed home you can expect a completely safe, secure and monitored environment for your child. DCFS makes unannounced visits several times a year. They check everything! Not just the obvious outlet covers. They check my well water, inside toys, all my play equipment, even for dips in the yard a child could trip on. I believe you should never put your child in a home that is not licensed. I am continually educating myself in child development, special needs and nutrition. Now down to what's really important. I am a wife (19 happy years) and a mother of two. My home is located at the end of a dead end street, with a fenced in one acre yard, blocks from Anderson School. My favorite thing to do is see my day care family's children smile when they learn new things that they are capable of doing. There is no joy greater than seeing a child accomplish new things. I teach ABC's, numbers, shapes, colors, and always have a science project going. We keep busy with games, crafts, art, and hands on discovery. My daycare children do not want to go home at the end of the day. I love what I do.

When I moved to Bartlett to be closer to my grandchildren, I found myself in a unique situation. As I crossed paths with neighbors at school, church and around the community, I observed many parents struggling to balance their families and careers. While I was enjoying time with my grandchildren it became apparent that I could help these young families find a comfortable and reliable home day care alternative. I have nurtured the children of educators and professionals in and around the Bartlett community for over 15 years. We are one big extended family. We celebrate the arrival of newborn siblings, first steps, back to school jitters, the joys of summer vacation, endure growing pains and anxiously await the return of college-age grandchildren. When the doorbell rings after school often it is a former daycare child just stopping by to say hello and share their latest accomplishment. There is no limit to the milestones we share on a daily basis. I am DCFS licensed, certified in CPR and First Aid. My home is registered with the ICCB Food Program and I have openings for full and/or part time care. I participate in continuing education programs annually. I am conveniently located walking distance to the Metro station, preschool, elementary and middle schools.
