Miss Laura's Home Daycare

113 W Meadow Dr. Cortland, IL

< 1 mi

I am the mother of an 10-year-old and I also have many nieces and nephews that I have cared for in past years. Whether your child is an infant, toddler or school age, I am prepared to take care of them. I am a licensed daycare provider and CPR/First Aid certified. I serve only nutritious meals, breakfast, lunch and snacks. I have been in the Daycare business for a little over 5 years but would love the chance to take care of your child(ren). I have a fenced-in yard and a nice park within walking distance. I love to read and do crafts, so there will be a lot of both for your child(ren) to do. Plus lots of other fun activities to keep them busy.

Jenny's Home Daycare (Member of 4-C) Jennifer Fraedrich 80 W. Prairiefield Ave. Cortland, IL 60112 815-219-9028 I will provide an environment where your child will feel safe, nurtured, and loved, much like they feel in their own home. They will be allowed to explore safe play areas both indoors and out. They will enjoy group activities including reading, games, and art activities. We will also explore our community by going to various playgrounds, the library, and occasionally take a field trip. I will provide healthy meals and snacks and a comfortable napping area. Most importantly, your child will receive lots of love and understanding. Jenny's Home Daycare Policies: Rates Hourly- Anything under 5 hours will be charged the hourly rate of $7.50 per hour. Daily- Anything 5 hours and over per day and less than 5 days per week will be charged the daily rate of $35.00 per day. Weekly- Anything 5 hours and over per day and 5 days per week will be charged the weekly rate of $150.00 per week. Payment is to be made on a weekly basis on Monday (or the first day of care) each week for that week. Any alternative payment schedule is to be discussed and agreed upon by both parties in advance. Deposit To hold a place for your child in my daycare home, a deposit of $300.00 (or 2 weeks' pay) will be required. That sum will be applied to the first week of care as well as the final week of care. Holidays The following are considered paid holidays for me: -New Year's Day -Labor Day -Memorial Day -Thanksgiving Day -Fourth of July -Christmas Day Days Off When I take days off for any reason, you will not be expected to pay me for that day(s). From time to time, I will need to take a day off. When this happens, it will be in your best interest to have a backup provider because, unfortunately, I cannot provide one. I will try to give 2 weeks or more notice when I take time off. Typically, I take one week off at Christmas time. I will schedule that time off usually in October or early November. When your child will not be in attendance on a normal day of care, for any reason, payment will still be required for those days missed. Illness Your child will not be allowed to come to my home if he/she has: 1. Had a fever of 100 f or more in the last 24 hours. 2. Been vomiting in the last 24 hours. 3. Had diarrhea in the last 24 hours. 4. Been on an antibiotic for less than 24 hours for anything except an ear infection. Other infectious illnesses (ie. Strep, chicken pox...) will be dealt with on a case by case basis with a doctor's recommendation. Discipline Children under 2 years of age: I find that simply removing the child from the situation with a short verbal reprimand in a non-threatening way is all that is necessary. Children 2 years of age and older: I find that "timeouts" in minutes equal to years of age, with a discussion of the problem work well with older children. I will NEVER use physical means to discipline your child, nor will I use verbal means that will humiliate or belittle him/her.

Rich Beginnings Daycare is a licensed, home based daycare on Rich Rd. in DeKalb. There are currently openings for children 2 years old - 12 years old for full and part time, before and after school as well as summer programs. Hours of operation are 6:00 a.m. - 6:00 p.m. Monday - Friday and breakfast, lunch and afternoon snack will be offered daily. Emphasis is on learning though play, music, outdoor play and exploration, healthy eating, cooking, arts and crafts and life skills learning. We will steer clear of screen time with the exception of the occasional rainy day movie. I am CPR and First-Aid certified and have experience working with children of all ages as well as children with special needs. I offer the structure and learning that you will find in a larger center but can give you peace of mind by offering it in a more intimate setting. With fewer children to look after I can give more individualized attention to each child. I look forward to planning my days with your child's interests in mind!

I am a stay at home mom looking to provide care for one newborn- 10 ish year old boy or girl weekdays, nights OR WEEKENDS. Our entire home is child proofed with a designated play room/library with TONS of children's books. My husband is a Police Officer who is Infant and adult CPR certified- he will be home half the week and every other weekend. My son and I have a perfect routine down and are looking to bless another family with affordable child care. Your child will get plenty of fresh air and sunshine (during the warmer months) when we go on our three mile walk every day. I am a professional Chef and have an extensive knowledge/experience with working around food allergies. We are a raw vegan family and would be dedicated to feeding your child EXACTLY what you want- no diet plan is too complicated! We read bible stories and have Christian music playing every day. We are asking for a Christian family or a family who would not be offended by their child hearing about our faith. I am a BIG craft/sensory play person and will have something for our children to do every day to expand their little minds! They will NEVER be bored or ignored and will always have new things to discover. I am a huge baby wearing advocate- I had my son in an ergo ALL the time before he started crawling! I have a newborn insert for my ergo as well as a moby wrap. Most large daycare centers have more children than caregivers. Babies get put in bouncers and swings and aren't constantly played with. I have had personal experience seeing this while working for a day care center for two years (full time while finishing college). My family is offering a loving attentive environment to leave your child in. I know how hard it is to leave your baby and go back to work, I am aiming to make it as easy as possible for your family.
