Hello! I am looking to care for children ages 15 months - 5 years. I would prefer clients who are teachers or have a similar schedule. However, I am also able to accommodate a part time schedule. I can begin mid-late August of 2019. In addition to over 25 years of experience caring for children, my qualifications also include: -Providing respite care for families with disabled children and children with behavioral disorders. -Working as a child welfare caseworker. -Managing a child care center at a health club. -Directing Vacation Bible School. -Directing Cubbies at AWANA. -Coordinating a MOPs (Mothers of Preschoolers) group. -Coordinating the children's program (MOPPETs) for our MOPS group. -Staying at home with my own two boys. My goal is to provide a safe, loving and nurturing environment to each child that I care for. I want to encourage their sense of wonder and love of life by staying active. Getting outside when weather permits, using our imaginations through pretend play, doing art projects, singing, dancing and playing games. I will be available Monday through Friday from 7:30 am - 4:30 pm. Breakfast, a mid-morning snack, lunch and an afternoon snack will be provided. I look forward to meeting you and your child/children!

**CURRENTLY HAVE JUST 2 OPENINGS LEFT FOR AGES 3 and up. Welcome to "IT'S TIME FOR A HUGE" Daycare. You've found the right place!!!! I have open arms for more little friends to join our daycare family! I am confident that how you feel about your job makes a world of difference in how you will perform at it and the care you provide. I love what I do and that's why I choose to do it. I have a very small group and am only going to fill just two spots which means more time with each child. I offer many fun experiences such as monthly field trips (weather permitting) which they would not get in a large group home or childcare centers. We go to the library, parks, children's museums and local petting zoos and local orchards that offer children's activities. We enjoy baking, arts & crafts, story-time and much more! We have so much to offer and reasonable rates! They will be treated with love and respect and always cared for as my own! Safety measures are in place throughout the house to make sure the children are safe at all times. We have a large fenced backyard to play in. We spend as much time outside as possible getting lots of exercise and fresh air. During the day we have both structured and free play including: Story-time; Music-time; Craft-time; Free-play; Snuggle-time (Anytime); Occasional field-trips

St. Thomas Little Saints is a faith based, Catholic preschool that not only nurtures your child's social and academic growth, but also introduces our Catholic faith through daily prayer and teachings. Children who begin education with faith based learning during the formative years have a stronger understanding of Christianity. While we are a Catholic based preschool, we welcome children and families of all religious and non-religious backgrounds to learn and grow with us. Many of our preschool students transition into our highly acclaimed St. Thomas Catholic School for Kindergarten-8th grade education. Our preschool curriculum is directly aligned with the Illinois Early Learning Standards by following Developmentally Appropriate Practices (DAP). St. Thomas is Lighting the Way for our children's future by giving them the opportunity to attend a Catholic preschool. Little Saints Preschool is an extension of St. Thomas the Apostle Catholic School. Saint Thomas the Apostle School opened in 1929 and through the dreams of many people, Little Saints Preschool was established in 2008. The goal of our preschool is to provide children with the opportunity to participate in activities which will develop them spiritually, socially, emotionally, and intellectually into self-assured children of God. When the preschool opened in 2008, Saint Elizabeth Ann Seton generously offered to house our preschool program. We started then with 2 classes for three and four year old children. Since then, Little Saints Preschool has grown in the number of families wanting a faith filled early education for their children. With the opening of Little Saints Preschool, we will be able to continue the tradition of faith and education that St. Thomas School has aspired to since 1929.

I encourage exploration and involvement. I also believe that each child should have a developmental screening in the early years through a free community agency. I am supportive, nurturing, warm and responsive to each child. I respect the parent as the primary and most important person in the child's life. I try to compliment your role by allowing the children to feel secure and enjoy themselves when they are in my care.

Children have different rates of developing and ways of learning. Learning at the toddler and preschool level is play based. Self-esteem and the ability to learn are interdependent. Music and motion are essential to development of circuitry in the brain. It is my responsibility to ensure an environment that provides: A wide variety of play-based learning. Play centers with age appropriate toys and media. Seasonal or themed play and activities. Group & individual games and activities that use large muscle groups.
