Katina's Daycare

I have a small in-home daycare. I am a mother of 3 fantastic little people! The 5 of us are a very active family. We're always learning new things, doing projects and having fun. My family is one of my greatest accomplishments. I like to get involved with sports that my children are enrolled in and events going on in our community. I grew up helping my mom with her in-home daycare for 30 years which is how I've developed my love for taking care of children. I've been babysitting since I was 13 years old. In high school I took multiple childcare classes every year. I was also accepted (1 year early) in our high school's pre-school program. I worked at the Early Learning Center in Des Plaines. After my son was born (11 years ago) I decided to follow in my mother's footsteps and start my own in-home daycare. I love what I do and wouldn't change any of it. I stay up to date with continuing education for child care including CPR and first aid classes. If you are looking for a fun, educational, friendly, and loving environment for your little one, look no further!

I provide reading, outdoor fun, creative fun, language acquisition (babies - early reading), songs, games, brain "puzzles", enriching days during play dates, observation on a walk/errand, questioning and discovering how infant, toddler, child learns in his/her individual way - is special. My operatic career allows me some facility with Italian, Spanish, and a little French. I have a perfect driving record. I have raised two exceptional daughters ages 23 and 19. We all love teaching and working with children. I founded, working with parents, a co-operative nursery school in 1998-1999. I was its director and lead teacher. To license this facility (which thrives to this day) I received a DCFS certification. I have worked in mom & tot classes. To allow for flexibility in my schedule as my girls grew, I became certified to substitute teach, private & CPS schools, K-12 (not HS Math). After 10 years of almost daily teaching at FW Parker I sang at the graduating class of '05. In 2010 I passed the ISEE Basic Teaching Skills Exam K-8, ISEE (IL. St. Ed. Exam) #110/through Middle School. Additionally, I held the position as Director of Arts/Humanities (Administrative) @ Northside College Prep.
