&quot;Big things often come from Small Beginnings.&quot; I am pleased to utilize my professional background as a Preschool Teacher and educational background in Speech Pathology to have my licensed in home facility. Small Beginnings is based on the belief that each child will show growth if given the opportunity in a loving environment. Developing a relationship of trust with my kiddos and their family is a very important key to the structure of my program. A big component of the day is our schedule, providing a classroom setting to prepare for Kindergarten, as well as play-based learning. The children will know what to expect before nap time everyday. We have occasional outings, such as the Farm Park or Peoria Zoo, and will explore the neighborhood for lessons from nature. We have a membership to Peoria Playhouse and Wildlife Prairie Park. Every two weeks, we make a trip to the Peoria Public Library for extra reading and Tiny tots, making our reading fun! The meal plan is preservative free and only things I would feed myself. I utilize Young Living Essential oils and diffuse Lavender and Peppermint for the kiddos. I also use all natural cleaning products, leaving behind no toxins for children to walk, crawl, or ingest. I look forward to speaking with you.

Welcome to Jodi and Scott's Little Tykes Family Learning. We are a husband and wife team providing quality care for children ages 6 weeks to 12 years since 2001. We offer a first and second shift care as well as aftercare for school age children. We hold a group home daycare license in North Peoria, IL. This allows us to care for up to twelve full-time children. Our open concept environment is a multi-age setting where children can see the progression of development naturally from the modeling of older children. We have seven learning centers with age appropriate items meant to promote curiosity, engagement, challenge, and manipulation. Our indoor space is inviting with many windows, a kitchen, and a half bath. Our rich, deep-tone colors in the cabinets and on the walls provide a warm, homey feel and the light, natural wood shelving attract your attention top the items place on them. Each item in the learning center are carefully chosen to encourage meaningful play and manipulation. All are high quality and many are from companies that promote recycling of materials. Each center has progressive learning objects to encompass all ages and are regularly updated and routinely rotated. We have an expansive backyard play area (about 1/2 acre) with large and small play structures. There s a large grassy area for running and playing games and a rubber hard surface for ride on toys. We have extended our classroom outdoors by providing a nature learning center. That space encompasses a sand/water tables, balancing timbers, recycled rubber tires for climbing, a dramatic play stage, a digging area, a block building table, art easels, pic-nick tables, and a bridge which leads to a grassy space. We incorporated a defined, safe play area for non-mobile infants. We offer a caring and safe environment focusing on child directed and teacher facilitated learning. Our goal is to provide a nurturing environment with an emphases on four developmental domains: social/emotional, cognitive, physical, and language development. Our small teacher/child (1/4) ratios allow for lots of individual attention which helps strengthen a positive self image, engaging quality play for real connections with peers and friends, and our daily routines/structure provide a sense of security and order. At the end of each day you will receive a verbal and written report, from the caregivers who played with your child throughout the day.

We'll also fill you with the confidence of knowing your son or daughter is in excellent, experienced hands. Infants: We recognize the unique preferences and needs of each infant and strive to make every child's time at The Wonder Playschool feel like an extension of home. By understanding their typical home routines and schedules, we are able follow their natural sleeping and waking process and determine meals and feedings based on their individual hunger patterns. We follow their cues to implement your home schedule as closely as possible, and we are always available to discuss any changes. We also understand that your morning routine is hectic, and we make every effort to make our services a welcomed assistance. With this in mind, daily care essentials like Pampers diapers, wipes, and ointment are included in your child's tuition, and we will gladly store your child's formula or breast milk for you on site Toddlers: We know that toddlers learn best through play and are always striving to make sense of the world around them by discovering and exploring. At The Wonder Playschool, we seek to provide our Adventurers with the time, space and freedom to follow their curiosity and learn as much as they able through their play. By providing our toddlers with plenty of hands-on, meaningful learning experiences and individualized attention, during their time at Wonder they will deepen their language skills, refine their motor skills, practice problem solving, build independence, gain confidence, and grow in their social and emotional development. Twos: At The Wonder Playschool curiosity and wonder are prevalent, but safety and security are paramount as well. We foster a caring and safe environment for little eyes and ears (as well as fingers and toes) to soak up and interact with the world around them. We encourage children to use words and facial expressions to communicate their feelings, boundaries, and desires. Our rules are simple: We cannot hurt ourselves, others, or property. Our goal is to allow your child to express him/herself in unique, socially acceptable ways. We also make sure your child feels safe, inspired, and right at home. Our project-based curriculum mixes play, nature, and hands-on, investigative learning. Creativity is encouraged, so when your child is ready for preschool, he or she has the tools to meet the new challenge head on.
