Extended Love Child Development Center is conveniently located between Chicago and Milwaukee in Pleasant Prairie. Our center has a purpose. It is our purpose to provide an optimal environment for young children to develop their emotional, social, physical and intellectual self. &quot;An Extension of Love from Home to School&quot; Our goal is to provide a home away from home for children in our care. To accomplish this goal, the center places an emphasis on a homelike atmosphere, with periods of a structured daily routine so that the child will develop an interest and enthusiasm for learning. We try to alternate periods of structure, with periods of independent choice to offer a wide variety of opportunities to develop both self and social growth. We meet the age appropriate development of all children through portfolios and by tracking individual outcomes so that we can prepare intentional lesson plans around the individual needs for both the children and the families that attend our center. Want more information or a tour? Please contact us today!

Lisa's Part Time Childcare And Date Night Babysitting

10123 29TH AVE Pleasant Prairie, WI

I am a 35 year old stay-at-home, super mom to two amazing, energetic, artistic, outdoorsy little boys. I am currently watching two other children in the afternoons, but am looking to add another little one or two to our crew. I am open to part-time mornings, 2-3 days a week full days, or after-school care in my home, and date night babysitting, which I am willing to come to your home for. A closer look at me.... I worked in the medical field for several years but felt a strong pull to stay home after my first son was born. Recently I have become a Book Lady with Usborne Books &amp; More, so I never have a shortage of new and exciting books to explore. Along with my love of books, I enjoy all things crafty, encourage the children I care for to use their imaginations, and know the importance of daily outside play. While I don't mind a movie day now or then, I really strive to reduce screen time and would rather find something creative to keep my kiddos entertained. I am a non-smoker, have professional training in CPR and First Aid, and am a proud member of Young Living. I use only their all-natural products to clean my home and frequently diffuse essential oils to add to my calm, pleasant environment. I look forward to the opportunity to see how I may be of help to your family.
