Child care
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

Bucktown Academy is a nature-based program for children ages two through five. We provide a high-quality early childhood educational experience where children are prepared academically and socially for kindergarten. At Bucktown Academy, we believe that children learn through play within a structured, child-centered environment; our dedication to this approach is clearly demonstrated in our loving and organized classroom where children develop a passion for learning. Bucktown Academy strives to create a safe and inclusive environment for all children and families. At our school we celebrate our differences, including in race, culture, ethnicity, gender expression and family structure. We believe in empowering children to embrace their identities, and our curriculum reflects this value. We offer both half-day and full-day programming. Our Sprouts half-day program (ages 2-3) is from 9:30am-11:30am. This gives kids the opportunity to experience a half-day similar to a preschool day. If you would like a longer day we do offer before care and lunch buddies. We also offer full-day which is from 7:30am-5:30pm. The three-day program is M/W/F and the two-day program is T/TH. I am sorry but we cannot accommodate alternative schedules.

We are currently in the process of getting Licienced Hello! My name is Suzanne. My sister and I run a day care in her Willowbrook home. We provide a loving home environment while you are away. We encourage friendship and cooperation among the families in our care. Most of the children that we care for begin as infants and remain in our care until school age. We form strong bonds with your children and treat them as if we are another set of parents. Some of our activities include coloring, crafts, and music class. We like to get outside whenever possible, whether it's on the swing set, on the trampoline, at the park, or just running around the yard or going for a walk. Plus in the summer we go to the splash pad a few times a week! We are patient and compassionate people and we pass these attributes on to the children that we care for. So if you are looking for a loving environment where your children can spend time when you cannot be with them, then contact Sisters Day Care with questions or to set up an interview. We look forward to hearing from you! Just want to let you know there are cats that live here

At J.E.L.A our mission is to uncover the gifts and talents of students, so that they can reach their fullest potential. Our program consists of both teacher initiated and child initiated activities where the role of the teacher is to create learning experiences for children via direct instruction and as they move through various learning centers. We allow each child’s natural curiosity to direct his or her learning experience. At the same time, we are aware of the Illinois Early Learning Standards and do our best to “intentionally” meet these standards. We provide students with an environment that is safe, supports risk-taking, invites the sharing of ideas, and incorporates the family, culture and beliefs of each student.
