The Learning Sea is focused on teaching children to become confident, independent, and creative. Through our various services, the Learning Sea, LLC strives to provide services to children 1-18 years of age. Our programs are tailored to their individual strengths and challenges, all while encouraging skills that they can take with them as they flourish. Speech Pathology Services Learning Sea, LLC uses the most advanced evidence-based methods to teach communication skills. Research has consistently shown that children learn best in their natural environment. The Learning Sea views each child as unique and uses their individual strengths and challenges to guide them and help them through the speech therapy journey. School of Fish Early Learning Pods Research has shown that early learning years are some of the most crucial years in a child's development. Preschools often provide opportunities for the development of language, social skills, emotional awareness skills, and pre-academic skills. However, now that many centers have decided to switch to remote learning, parents are now looking to form "pods", "micro schools", or "bubbles". Neighbors, family members, and friends with children are able to form their own "pods" but often need a professional to facilitate the classes. School of Fish Early Learning Pods aims to provide small (2-5 children) early learning classes within the home. These small classes allow for more individual attention with a strong emphasis on language development. All classes will be taught by a qualified speech language pathologist. Language Through Art Language Through Art is a home-based group (2 to 5 children) class that is tailored to each individual child while simultaneously delivered in the group setting. This allows for more personalized attention to your child's wants and needs, while also working on important social skills such as turn-taking, sharing, attention, and concentration. Children will be encouraged to tap into their creativity as they explore arts, crafts, and sensory play as they learn social and language skills. Independent Kids Independent Kids is a home-based program designed to teach children routines, activities of daily living, and the importance of structure throughout their day. With a strong emphasis on using visual schedules, reward-based systems, and consistent practice, Independent Kids focuses on getting your children to becoming more self-reliant and confident.

My hours are 7:30- 5:30, M-F. A little bit about about me... I'm Katie and I'm a mom to a sweet little girl that was born in August of 2013 & a boy born October, 2015. I have 8+ years experience working with children, most of which is working with infants and toddlers. I graduated from the University of Illinois at Chicago with my BA in Applied Psychology with an emphasis in developmental psychology. I was a nanny for several years and also worked at a daycare in the West Loop where I was an infant teacher. I also did an internship with a preschool in Bridgeport. I'm First Aid & CPR certified. The daycare is in the process of being licensed by DCFS. I will have a maximum of 8 children so we can ensure each child receives the proper care and attention. We will be accepting children between the ages of 6 weeks and 5 years of age. The daycare is located on the first floor of our residence with a lot of open space and a variety of toys for the children to play with. I plan to spend as much time outdoors with the children, weather permitting as well as trips to the local parks. I provide healthy meals & snacks using whole foods. I don't believe children should eat too much processed food or juices. My teaching philosophy is that I help children learn through play and by exploring their environment. Under my care, daily routines include: daily story time, listening to music and dancing, puzzles, imagination play and art projects using paint and crayons. Snuggle Bear Day Care is dual language in Spanish. I have a dynamic curriculum that incorporates music, dancing, arts, crafts and science into learning. We are always finding creative ways to make learning fun! The day care is also Eco-friendly. We encourage the use of bamboo towels instead of paper towels. Furniture is made of natural materials, no laminate plywood. I also teach the children about recycling and sometimes use recycled materials to make art projects.

We are a Montessori School offering preschool to children ages 6 weeks to 5 years. We offer a two, three, four or five day program. These days are full days as we do not have 1/2 day programs. Our tuition amounts are monthly and are based on the age and number of days a week a child comes. We do feel it is important for parents to visually see, or observe, the room your child would be in. Typically, our preferred time for observations is 9:30 am and can be scheduled for any day, Monday through Friday. OUR VISION IS * To cultivate a loving, cooperative, quality Montessori environment where learning is our goal and children are our priority. * An environment which nurtures the whole child individually as well as their family and community. * Promoting enthusiasm and appreciation of their innate abilities. * Loving teachers who teach from the heart, to promote culture, values, support and relationships with respectful interactions. OUR GOALS Our goal is to provide a prepared environment which expose the children to a small, low-key community with gentle and approving caregivers to meet the needs of a unique person by providing opportunities in a non-threatening environment for the children to build up their feelings of confidence and security. Then, with a rich selection of materials and activities to stimulate their minds and bodies, they will experience the freedom to explore and do things for themselves. In this, they are able to grow by leaps and bounds. Our hours are 6:30 am to 6:00 pm with a daily 10 hour limit. We do accept Illinois Action for Children

I'm a licensed k-12 teacher who has some spots available for (ages 4-10) my summer program in Oak Lawn. My goal is to prevent the effects of the "summer slide" in an engaging, fun, and creative way. I want to ensure that students don't lose the learning that they mastered in the present academic year and work on some skills that they can use moving forward. Also, I want to provide targeted and differentiated instruction to students who may need extra support in the areas of Math and Reading and incorporate fun and meaningful learning with enriching activities. Programming Starts Monday, June 24th- Thursday, August 22nd. (No, programming on July 4th, July 15 &16) I have experience in multiple grade levels across subjects and with special needs. Please feel free to call/text or email me with any questions about your child's specific needs, to reserve a spot, or for additional information.

Hello! I am a former special education teacher of 8 years and now I am a stay at home mom of 3 boys ages 9, 7, and 3. I have been watching children in my home since I left teaching 7 years ago and absolutely love it. I feel like my daycare kids become a part of my family. I like to do lots of arts and crafts, learning activities, reading, and trips to the library and parks. I am currently watching one 7 month old boy. I would love to find one to two more children, depending on the ages, to watch in my home. My two older boys will both be in school full time so I will have the ability to provide enough care and attention to one to two more kids. I have a big yard and swing set, and no pets except for fish at this time. I can provide meals or you can bring them. I am pretty easy going and try my best to keep my daycare kids on whatever schedule they are used to. If I sound like I might be a good fit for you please contact me for more information and references! Thanks!
