Child care
Day Care
At Cadence Academy Preschool on Main Street in Normal, we believe in making the most of childhood, which is why we take significant steps to ensure an exceptional education experience for the preschool children under our care. At Cadence Academy Preschool, we understand that young children first start to comprehend their surroundings from an egocentric perspective. Building strong attachments with caregivers and sharing feelings can help children better understand their emotions, as well as others. We recognize that once children start to realize that their peers have feelings and needs, too, they start to learn how to socialize with each other. *We are now offering Flexipass. With Flexi-Pass, families can purchase 5 full days of prepaid care to use one at a time or all at once. There are no registration fees, no ongoing tuition, and no long-term commitment — just trusted care at a lower per-day cost.*

Beth's Day Care

19 Lateer Dr Normal, IL

< 1 mi

I have been a licensed child care provider in B/N for 24+ years I'm located off of Jersey Ave, near Colene Hoose School, in Normal My daycare is very active and we take many field trips (library, parks, zoo, etc). I focus on kindergarten readiness. I teach sharing, manners, listening/following directions, letters, shapes, colors, numbers, patterns, opposites, rhyming, etc. My teaching is done in a relaxed, loving atmosphere and through play, song, field trips, etc. When the weather is nice, we are outside a lot. We might not complete crafts every day, but we continue to learn while we are out in the world exploring. Because we are so active, I prefer children 1 yr old (or close to it) and older. Let me know if you would like to talk more, or set up a time to bring your children to meet with me!
