Miss Kim's Learning Ladder

2469 Cascade Court Wauconda, IL

< 1 mi

Miss Kim's Learning Ladder is a new in home day care center. In my home your child will receive exceptional care while having fun and learning! A day in my center includes play time, age appropriate crafts and lessons, healthy meals, naps, circle time, stories, silly song/dance time. I have over 10 years experience with working with children of all ages, 2 years experience in working in a preschool environment, and 2 years working for a company who manufactures and distributes educational tools and toys for children of all ages. I am also a mom, which is my favorite experience! I know and understand the frustrations in finding a good day care while you're away at work, I have been there as well as many close friends. This is why I decided to leave work, open my own certified day care center (with very affordable rates) where parents are confident their child is in great hands! I build lessons and goal sheets based on what YOUR needs are for your child(ren) and I work closely with you the parents on obtaining those goals (be it weaning, potty training, behavioral or just help learning basic age appropriate goals). I work on gross on fine motor skills in infants as well as preschoolers. In my home you can expect a small setting with few children. I do this so I can spend quality time with each child. In some cases less really is more! I feel that the more children you have in a center, the less you can guarantee safety, education and development! I am available Monday-Friday from 6am to 6pm, full-time as well as part time, and before and after school care. Please contact me to set up an in home meeting! Thank you, Kim

I am offering quality daycare to the families. Getting license from DCFS. I have a schedule that includes large motor, small motor, art, reading, outside time and meals. I believe the children should have fun while learning. Everyday new activities are planned for the children to do. Very clean and put lots of effect into running a great daycare for families. Meals are prepared freshly daily. Do work with children who have special diets. I have been working with children for ten years now and finally got my dream of opening up a home daycare to families. Communication is something that is very important to me. Come on in and check it out today. Spots do fill up.

We operate a small family home day care and are different than a Day Care Center because the number of children that are enrolled is limited. By staying small, we are able to provide the quality care and nurturing atmosphere that your child deserves, which makes our home day care a premium service. I &amp; G Home Family Day Care is not a preschool, but we do offer a theme based preschool program. Children participate in a full range of activities such as free play, outside play, stories, dramatic play, creative arts, crafts, music, and much more. As a family child care provider, our goal is to provide a safe and happy learning environment for each child that will stimulate their physical, intellectual, social and emotional growth at their own pace. We offer loving care that focuses on each child as a unique and wonderful individual and in doing so, builds self-esteem and respect for others. As your partner in caring for your child, our interaction with you, the parent, is as important as my interaction with your child. We encourage parent involvement in the child care setting. We look forward to welcoming your child into our daycare!
