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.

Miss Kim's Learning Ladder

2469 Cascade Court Wauconda, IL

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
