Gail's Family Day Care is a licensed home daycare for children ages 1 1/2 -5. Caring for young children is my passion and I have 29 years of experience. A typical day at daycare is a variety of activities such as free play, circle time, crafts, outdoor play, lunch, stories, rest, and snack time and free play till parents arrive. If I am able, I have taking the children on field trips to places such as Cosley Animal Farm, Woodridge Fire Station, and a local beekeeper to have new adventures! My goal is to provide a safe, loving, environment for children and provide a quality early childhood education so they are prepared for elementary school. I do many hours of professional development to keep up with the newest findings in the childcare world so I can care for and teach your child in the best way possible. I strive to work closely with my daycare parents and have open communication at all times. Many of my daycare children and their parents have become like family and I have kept in contact with them throughout the years. I take great pleasure in seeing their achievements as they've grown up. At my daycare you can feel assured that your child will be safe, will have great learning opportunities, and will be loved and treated as a special person.

My name is Keyana; Early Start Home Daycare is licensed by the state of Illinois Department of Children and Family Services (DCFS). Early Start Daycare has be in business for nine years. I am certified in CPR and First Aid. I take training throughout the year so that I am always aware of the new and upcoming changes in the field of early learning and development for young children. I have over 16 years of experience working with young children, adolescents, and teenagers. I am married and a mother of three.

Early Start believes that the first years of a child's life are the most important for helping to lay the foundation for all intellectual and emotional development to follow. We also believe that every child is unique and has the right to high-quality child care as well as age and developmentally appropriate learning and exploratory environment. We think the environment should help build positive self-esteem, self-discipline, and social and emotional competence. This is how I have chosen to spend my days. I am a very tolerant individual with an enormous amount of patience; this coupled with the love for children makes me a nurturing childcare provider. Having three children of my own, I understand how difficult it must be to leave your child in someone's care. Because of this, I can appreciate the trust you must put in me daily. Therefore, my goal is to build your trust by being professional, dependable, honest, and most importantly caring for your children the same way I would want someone to care for my children.

I am a DCFS licensed provider and mother of 4 older children, two of which are adults! I taught third and fourth grade for eleven years, and have been doing daycare to be home with my second son of three, which was over 15 years ago!! I own a large, brick Georgian with a fenced yard and Rainbow playset, brick patio and deck. My play area includes a sunroom with art project table, hardwood floors and remodeled cherry cabinet kitchen with a large granite island. I work with children whose family appreciates individual attention to detail on how parents like things, lots of communication during your child's day for those up to school age, sturdy toys and a curriculum for academics and social skills. I am very experienced with food sensitivities, nursing moms, and speech and language or physical issues. Your child will become a better problem solver, team player, creative thinker and communicator in my home!!
