We are an extraordinary European childcare. We are awarded by an Illinois Excellerate Program. It's because of our warm environment, health and safety of our children, education of our employees (all teachers have Master s degree in ECE). We are not just a licensed daycare.
We offer the best care you can imagine. Our 3 golden rules are: 1. Happy faces, 2. Full tummies, 3. Safe and warm environment.

We carry children who need to be carried and comforted!
We offer 3 full homemade meals. NO JUNK FOOD, NO SNACKS. Our lunch is as follow: Meat, potatoes, rice, barley or pasta, veggies, milk and fruits. Polish food, huge portions. Seconds always available for children. Soups, pierogis, golabki, blintzes, Polish pork chops, breaded chicken breast... everyday something else!!!!
Education is one of the most important aspects in our day care. We speak Polish, English, Russian, Ukrainian. Our curriculum is aligned with Illinois Early Childhood Standards and based on what children see around them (seasons, weather, holidays, etc). Our daily schedule includes: language, science with ecology, math, art, music and physical education. We offer additional classes of music with piano accompany and art, during daycare hours.
