I am an experienced daycare provider, with a medical field background. Certified in adult and child CPR as well as First Aid, and licensed by DCFS. I worked 11 years in a residential facility for developmentally disabled children and adults. During the last two years I headed the literacy program teaching reading, writing, math, and computer skills. My home daycare is located in a quiet residential neighborhood. The entire lower level of my home is dedicated to my daycare with a separate side entrance. The daycare is set up as a safe environment for your child, with childproof cabinets and doors. We have periodic fire drills as well as a fire extinguisher and carbon monoxide alarms located throughout the house. I have no pets and my home is smoke free. Through a caring, nurturing environment, I provide the building blocks for your child's development, education and socialization skills. With daily preschool activities for toddlers and preschoolers, I incorporate structure into play and learning. I include Spanish as well as computer time. Learning through play and exploration is equally important and is a major component of the daily routine. Weather permitting, your child will be able to enjoy play time in a safe, enclosed back yard. Healthy nutritious meals and nap time are scheduled but the daily routine is flexible to accommodate each child's stage of development. My daycare is open Monday to Friday from 7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. I currently have two full-time openings available for children 15 months and over. References available. Rate is $50.00 per day for part-time care (3 days or less). $200.00 per week for full-time care (4-5 days).

Wild Grace provides a boutique home-based childcare setting where every child is treated with respect, compassion, empathy, inclusiveness, and patience. Our philosophy and curriculum are a combination of various child development approaches focused on the WHOLE child.The Wild Grace approach will meet children where they are. This is based on their development, social and emotional well being and any neuro-divergent needs. Wild Grace Nursery School was founded by two moms with extensive child care and child welfare experience. Through the years they both recognize that there is no single approach that works for every child across the board. Especially when considering neuro-divergent children and children with various development needs or trauma histories. The inspiration behind the philosophy of Wild Grace is the whole child, your child; every bit of that tiny human: their brain development, physical development, social and emotional development, and their awareness of the world around them. Taking all of these factors into consideration we have pulled from popular and less recognized development and child rearing approaches. We have taken various aspects of these strategies to develop a program that is completely unique. We are focusing on the CDC developmental milestones and encouraging children in our care to reach these through experiential learning. Wild Grace approaches childcare differently because we know it is much more than ensuring safety. The first three years of a child's life they experience major growth spurts, reach developmental milestones and develop a deeper understanding of the world around them. Here at Wild Grace we want to be a part of it all. We hope that as you enter Wild Grace you are embraced by the comfort of the home based environment. Our families will be met with invitations to play in an open setting nestled in the heart of the North shore. Wild Grace strives to develop ongoing community partnerships where the children in our program experience the joy of civic engagement and experiential learning. With access to the local ravines and lakefront, our staff are eager to support the children in playing and engaging with nature in a sustainable and respectful manner. Our setting and program are designed to allow each child the opportunity to grow and flourish in a home setting.
