A small home day care for children from 3 months to 5 years old. I am a mom to two children and have a degree in Education. Parents can be confident that their children will be getting lots of personal attention and love while here. They will have lots of time to play and learn. I live in a quiet neighborhood where we can go for walks to parks and the library. I offer a nurturing environment for every child here to have fun, learn and grow. I am a strong believer in attachment parenting and would treat your children as my own. You can feel confident that they will be respected and loved. I think one of best parts of being a child and being with children is the constant change and learning that is going on. Everyday is a chance to discover new things about the world around them and themselves. Since I will keep the number of children in my care low I can individualize the care and activities according to the interests and needs of each child. We will have breakfast, two snacks and lunch, which will be healthy and mostly homemade. I am a vegetarian and most of the meals will also be vegetarian based. We eat all whole grains in my home and lots of organic fruits and veggies. Cooking and baking will be a part of the day with the children.

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.

Kelsey R. says "I cannot say enough good things about Wild Grace! Sending my child to daycare for the first time was nerve-wracking, but having the wonderful team at...

My name is Sherri and I am a mom of 3 beautiful school age children. I have had more than one person say to me &quot;they want to come back as one of my kids in their next life.&quot; I love being a mother and spending quality time with my children. When I was young I babysat before I had my own children, and I'm still friends with two of the family's all these years later. I worked as a camp counselor all through high school and college. I taught dance lessons to children. As a mom I coached all my children in soccer. I also have been involved in the PTO and have been room mom every year. I LOVE children!!! I live in a very spacious smoke free, pet free home (not cats and dogs, just Guinea pig). I'm looking for care for a child or two in my home Mon-Fri part time. This would be great if you worked from home and wanted peace during the day:) I love to read with children, do crafts, play board games, and play outdoors.

Hi Parents!! Before beginning this adventure I was a nanny. (Live-in and live-out.) I was a nanny for 17 years before watching children at my home. I have worked as a nanny for families with 4 children, and I also have twin experience! They were 4 weeks old when I started and were 2 1/2 when they went into day care. I am a stay-at-home Mom who watches a couple of kids at our place. My child is in 5th grade. I currently watch a 4 year old boy 4 days a week. I am looking to add a baby or a toddler (1 year to 2 1/2 years old) to our group, full time is preferred. Our morning consists of playing. We have no shortage of toys whatsoever! We go outside when the weather allows, sing songs, blow bubbles, play puzzles and build towers with blocks for starters! The ABC song is among our favorite right now! We've also been known to take a picnic to the park and find story times at our local library. We love being social! Lunch is around 11:30 a.m., with nap to follow around 12:30 p.m. Snack and more play time follows! My typical hours are 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. I am more than willing to work with you on both of those times. My rates BEGIN at $50 a day, the final rate depends on hours needed. I look forward to speaking with you!
