My name is Katie! I reside in Plainfield near Caton Farm and Route 59. I have been working with young children since I was for almost 10 years now. I started with babysitting here an there, then worked my way up to nannying and working with children of all ages everyday of the week. I did that until I started working retail to get some more experience. After going to college and switching my major numerous times, I realized I am chasing something that I won't be happy with. All the majors I tried pursuing did deal with children and/or families. One being an ob/gyn ultrasound tech, another being a nurse in a pediatric office. Well, I am truly happy when I am surrounded by kids and their innocence, all while teaching their pure minds. I am truly happiest when I am working hands on with children and doing that consistently, not just part of the time and the rest of the time doing paperwork. That is why I have decided to open up my own daycare, that I am excited to take very long term:) This is my passion so it will not seem like a job for me, which I am most excited for because that has been what has made me unhappy with my other jobs over the years. I dreaded going to work everyday because it felt too much like a job and a job I didn't really want to do. My philosophy is I lead by example and am a pure believer in letting children learn by experience with some guidance. From my own experience, children thrive best in that environment. They learn from doing things themselves and figuring out what works and what doesn't. Obviously they cant do that all on their own so that is where the supervision and guidance comes into play! I am big into making children feel comfortable so I can assure we will develop a family like bond and they will not want to leave Miss Katies house;) I will treat them as one of their own. They will have equal amounts of fun with playing just like children should but also have that learning time and structure that should always be implemented. I am one that loves being organized so there will definitely be a routine that the kids will fall into. I also provide breakfast, lunch, and snacks. They will have all the necessities, everything imaginable from outdoor things to indoor toys and I keep collecting more! My hours are M-F 7-5. You will not feel like you are dropping your kids off at a typical daycare. I look forward to speaking and gaining more family!

My name is Kyrstin and I currently hold a bachelor's degree in Physical Education for grades k-12. I just moved to Plainfield with my husband and my two boys, who are 4 and 2. I am certified in first aid and CPR for infants and adults and I also hold an in-home child care license through DCFS. I offer an educational and loving environment for all children. I am just getting my daycare started and currently have two full-time openings. Because I have my two children, I only plan on having 2 other children full-time and possibly 1 child part-time. I feel that keeping my daycare small is necessary to give all children plenty of one-on-one time and attention. If you feel my daycare could fit your needs, please don't hesitate to contact me!

I have been working with children for over 28 years and I work with my daycare partner who has been working with children for 6 years and we both have education in this field. We are two very experienced daycare teachers who are running an in-home daycare that is curriculum based. Every day we will be doing a circle time with the children along with writing skills, hands on art activities, social-emotional development, learning through play in an enriched learning environment. Our goal is to meet each child's needs on each learning level; cognitive, gross and fine motor, language, social and emotional. We include two meals and a snack. We work from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. We are experienced with all ages from 6 weeks to 12 years of age. We are in the Minooka School District area, for those of you who have children who go to Minooka Schools. We are CPR certified teachers. We believe in allowing children to learn at their own pace in a non-competitive environment. We believe in treating each child as our own with loving and nurturing care.
