My hours are 7:30- 5:30, M-F. A little bit about about me... I'm Katie and I'm a mom to a sweet little girl that was born in August of 2013 &amp; a boy born October, 2015. I have 8+ years experience working with children, most of which is working with infants and toddlers. I graduated from the University of Illinois at Chicago with my BA in Applied Psychology with an emphasis in developmental psychology. I was a nanny for several years and also worked at a daycare in the West Loop where I was an infant teacher. I also did an internship with a preschool in Bridgeport. I'm First Aid &amp; CPR certified. The daycare is in the process of being licensed by DCFS. I will have a maximum of 8 children so we can ensure each child receives the proper care and attention. We will be accepting children between the ages of 6 weeks and 5 years of age. The daycare is located on the first floor of our residence with a lot of open space and a variety of toys for the children to play with. I plan to spend as much time outdoors with the children, weather permitting as well as trips to the local parks. I provide healthy meals &amp; snacks using whole foods. I don't believe children should eat too much processed food or juices. My teaching philosophy is that I help children learn through play and by exploring their environment. Under my care, daily routines include: daily story time, listening to music and dancing, puzzles, imagination play and art projects using paint and crayons. Snuggle Bear Day Care is dual language in Spanish. I have a dynamic curriculum that incorporates music, dancing, arts, crafts and science into learning. We are always finding creative ways to make learning fun! The day care is also Eco-friendly. We encourage the use of bamboo towels instead of paper towels. Furniture is made of natural materials, no laminate plywood. I also teach the children about recycling and sometimes use recycled materials to make art projects.

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.

Myrna M. says "Great spot for affordable care! Very convenient and offers all day care. They offer both English and Spanish immersion which is great. "

I would like to take care for two children full time in my home. I am a mother of three. I am CPR and First Aid trained. References and letters of recommendations available. I have 29 years experience working with children in music and public elementary schools, YMCA, park district, daycare. I instructed child fitness classes, art/crafts classes, toddler programs, birthday parties. Currently I teach piano/voice at a local music school and privately late afternoons and evenings part time. We got a large yard with a Little Tykes playhouse, little slide and picnic table/benches for toddlers, playground park is 5 min walking distance. Inside I have a mini-trampoline, large exercising mats and age appropriate toys. I serve healthy meals, many homemade with organic milk, rBTS/rBGH free diary, most veggies/fruits organic, no toxic preservatives or dyes,no artificial colors in cereal, uncured hams, hotdogs. We do not buy pop drinks and we do not use white table sugar. We prefer stevia, honey, agave syrup and maple syrup. No harmful electromagnetic radiation - our router and modem are wired, home phone is corded. I attended an art school for eleven years and I like to do arts and crafts with children. We can sing and play on simple music instruments but piano lessons are optional too. Story times, games, outdoor fun with bubbles, parachute, chalk drawing. Children will have a lot of personal attention, less exposure to germs like you can find in large daycare centers. I can drive them to a preschool and activities as well, outings to parks, library, amusement places if parents agree and sign a permission.

Betty J. says "Katarina is excellent with my little boy. She is very accommodating and has lots of fun things for kids to do!"
